I put together some music for Viper, and I’m really pleased with the result. The video, not so much, but I still think the music is cool.
Maybe he’ll send me those two records I paid for 3 years ago, who knows. I’ll post the music as a download later.
This is not a drill.
I repeat: This is not a drill.
Vladislav Delay has released Isoviha – you can buy it here, on bandcamp.
Vladislav Delay has also released Delay/Aarset – Singles. You can buy that one here, also on bandcamp.
I bought both, because I’m cool as fuck. If you want to be cool as fuck, you’ll need to buy both too. You don’t want people thinking you’re not cool as fuck. Yes, that’s what I thought.
Some more, rare, dancehall for everyone. I don’t have much to say about this one, knowing nothing about Oral John or the label Cotton Tail. What I can say is that I like it very much.
Hello dweebs. Here’s a copy of a cool record I have. 1986 Dancehall feel.
I’m posting this here because all of the other recording sound horrible – including the CD version on Basic Reply (shame on whoever mastered those!).
I’d also like to know if anyone can provide me with some more information on the label “Heavyweight” as there’s very little info online. And who are “Roy & Robbie” on the label? Really, any info would be great.
Anyway here’s the tunes
No one asked for them, but here they are – the acappellas from Plus. Please note that some reverbs and effects have random phase elements and are impossible to remove now, but there are very few, and I still think they sound good.
Made from snippets of old recordings, somewhat rescued from an old dying (now dead) HDD.
Made with an Akai MPC4000, a Novation DrumStation and some Eventide stomp boxes. Easy.
Some short little radio edits I made this weekend. File under Juke / Footwork.
I’m not going to list all the gear this time as I can’t quite remember. It’s basically a Novation DrumsStation and a lot of rhythm writing. Oh and a Waldorf MicroWave XT, but you knew that.
Still digging down the rabbit hole. I think I’m reaching the end of the road for this sort of thing, or at least without some sort of drastic writing change. I do like this one though, and I think it’s pretty close to what I imagined.
I can’t fully remember what I used, but in essence, it was:
I’ve taken to recording at 96kHz recently because I’ve found that some of the processors I use sound a little better at super high sampling rates like that. Also, I do a lot of sampling and pitching of my own recordings, so having it all in 96kHz give me a little more headroom for twisting them. This is then resampled to 44.1kHz 24bit once the master is complete.
I’ve been using iZotope RX8 to finalise the masters recently, it think it has the best sounding resampling algorithm I’ve tested so far. Clean and warm. if you’re interested the settings I use are shown below:
Get your pre-orders in! New Ripatti album dropping June 25, 2021. THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!
Vinyl is somewhat pessimistically limited to 500 pressing it seems – do not sleep!
Seems like we’re in for 11 tracks of Chicago footwork, distilled in the cold islands of Finland. The two previews posted are pretty great, as expected.
Pre-order now, I’m serious.
