View this Thread in Original format Sphereal Im a BIG fan of "old" progressive house from around 1997 - 2002. I like newer progressive house as well, but I think the "old style" usually had a better groove and melody. There was also something about the "old style" that was a bit more melodic and "darker" in my ears. The song arrangement could also be more "surprising" and not standardized back then. My questions is: How was the track produced before (around 1997 - 20002), and what kind of gear did the "old skool" progressive producer(s) use at "that time" to make their tracks ? - What kind of digital audio workstation (DAW) was used ? - What kind of synths was popular and being used? - What kind of effects was popular and being used? - What was different before versus now? Some references tracks of what i like: - Stoneproof - Everything Is Not You (Quivvers Space Remix) - Ian Wilkie - Guten Morgen - Breeder - Beetlejuice - Pink Bomb - Indica - Z2 - I Want You - Voyager - Time Travel - Voices Of Khwan A.D. - Ya Yae Ya Yo Yo Yo (Light Mix) - Morel - True (The ****** Is You) - Nat Monday - Waiting - Medway - Resurrection E.P.

Sphereal quote: Originally posted by Acton :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: ..."20002" is edited now ;-) jupiterone i'm willing to bet that these records exist because the artists had a solid idea and enthusiasm towards the music they were producing. doubt it has much to do with the gear they used. so many people have the latest and greatest gear, they have these well balanced acoustic setups, and they speak about mixing and mastering like they have pioneered the whole art...yet, when you listen to their tracks, it sounds like the most uninspired, pristine, polished turd there is. just saying, my .02. still don't understand everyones fascination with what other people use/used Sphereal quote: Originally posted by jupiterone just saying, my .02. still don't understand everyones fascination with what other people use/used So if it doesn't fascinate YOU, it shouldn't fascinate ME? Is that correct? jupiterone quote: Originally posted by Sphereal So if it doesn't fascinate YOU, it shouldn't fascinate ME? Is that correct? i don't understand why it SHOULD fascinate you Sphereal quote: Originally posted by jupiterone i don't understand why it SHOULD fascinate you I didn´t really say it fascinate me. I just asked some questions about production techniques in a "production forum", i tough i could get some answers, sorry if i did this STUPID mistake. Maybe is should just give a because this thread is getting nowhere. Thanks for nothing... - Chris jupiterone blame it on the goose, it's got me feeling loose floyd741 quote: Originally posted by Sphereal Thanks for nothing... no problem lol CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE Pages: [1] 2 3 4 5
