Consul 131 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Both tracks are crazy good and clear sounding as if RDJ released them this year instead of 1992! Link to post Share on other sites
Joyrex 1555 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 This is super impressive stuff! Really interesting process behind recreating these classic tracks too. Link to post Share on other sites

modey 394 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Impressive work! It'd be interesting to try the same approach with some of his more abrasive stuff from around the same era, like classics, AB3 etc. Link to post Share on other sites

I've always been fascinated with SAW 85-92 and how it was created, as there's not a whole lot of info about it on the internet. I thought it would be a fun challenge to try to recreate some of the tracks to maybe find out myself, through trial an error, how some of it was made. I'm confused they sound exactly like the originals lol. How on earth is this possible??? Impressive but confused. 😮 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Impressive but confused. 😮 lol there are definitely small differences. i couldn't quite match the pads in either track, and the kick is too quiet in Xtal. His versions are glued together much better imo, and also have much dirtier sound from being "mastered" to cassette tape. Link to post Share on other sites

tbf 44 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 what I'm most impressed by is how well the reverb sits in the mix, despite the lack of cassette mastering. I think it's one of his most under-commented traits, and usually where things can go awry in many productions, especially in recreation attempts. was it all valhalla vintage? excellent job!

tbf 44 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 you pretty much nailed the dynamics between the elements, it's a delight to hear. maybe a good saturator on the master for Xtal could help crunch things together and liven up the drums a bit, they're a bit hidden in the back. I feel like the subtle grittiness is a strong signature on his music from that time Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like the subtle grittiness is a strong signature on his music from that time i suspect that the quadraverb he was using on that record adds a lot more subtle background noise than the valhalla vintage verb, even though VVV is supposedly modeled after the quadraverb (i think).

Nil 718 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Freely inspired by it rather than faithfully modeled IIRC. Goodhertz MegaVerb might get you there though. VVV is a pretty cool reverb anyway ! Edited February 28 by Nil Link to post Share on other sites
