But you know what guys. I don't always believe what I hear about different producers. I learned over the years that in this industry some people like to keep stuff to themselves. Just because some people say in an interview that they use this and that, it doesn't mean they do. They might not tell you everything, keeping their secret weapon of choice strictly to themselves, and to the closest of production friends. I am not saying he's not telling the truth, but i am saying that some producers get a kick of saying that they accomplish this or that using this or that particular device, when they used something else. They just don't want you to know sometimes. It's being even known that certain producers pull out some racked gear or hide some things they used when people come to interview them in their studio. So Don't always believe what you hear, or read about. Some producers are paid nice cash for mentioning certain products they use, or might not, for advertising purposes. It's like with movie stars and so on. Sometimes they advertise stuff and get money and they don't use the product at all. They might have it at their home but it was given by the company to them. It's a interesting world we live in..
And About software Vs hardware synths thing.. There is ebay after all. Second hand hardware synths aren't that much more expensive than If you go out and get a VSTi synth. But Everyone knows that you can download all the vsti for free, and you just can't really copy a hardware synth, unless you steal it. So you get this guys running 30 vst's synths that would cost more than my hardware synths in the end. The only difference is they got it for free. My respect goes
to they guys who buy the software that they use! |
+1. Do you really think BT uses M-audio speakers to do his final mixes on?
Also, a lot of producers rely very heavily on engineers, so even though the original composition/sketch of the song is done in that producer's software/hardware of choice, chances are, it goes through a hell of lot more before it's ever released. An example of this is Sasha (not to take anything away from him at all) but a lot of support came from Charlie May (spooky), his producer, and without him I'm sure a lot of his tunes over the years would not have sounded the same.
About holding tricks/secrets back? of course. A lot of engineers and producers won't say how they're doing their latest thing for obvious reasons; the moment someone copies their unique sound, the less unique they are.
