Title: Nineties Jungle Café Post by: Moon on October 19, 2008, 01:38:18 PM Back in the nineties, there was no VSTi, no quad or dual processors, no fancy plugins, no nothing ???
O yes, we had sequencer software running on a pc with a CPU at 166 Mhz and you needed 32 MB of memory. What else ??? O yes, a synthesizer, with 64 voices and a wavetable of perhaps 8 MB like Yamaha's MU100R with fantastic sounding XG effects. So I went back to the nineties, installed a forgotten software (XGWORKS 3.0), loaded up an ancient midi file and started to record. And guess what... ...it sounds great !!! Have fun with this one...

Nice thick pad sounds and driving rhythm are the solid skeleton of this track. Good leads and melodies makes the rest. A+ production Cheers Title: Re: Nineties Jungle Café Post by: folderol on October 19, 2008, 02:21:08 PM Quite breathtaking :;

Good mix brother, I like it. You better keep that MU or change it for a Fantom ;D k Title: Re: Nineties Jungle Café Post by: Moon on October 19, 2008, 02:30:42 PM Hmm, I could be wrong but I don't think this is something Moon has written, not his usual style ;D Good mix brother, I like it. You better keep that MU or change it for a Fantom ;D k You're right and wrong Bro : right because I didn't wrote the arrangement myself, don't know who did it, it's an old xg demo file. But... you're wrong if you think that a Fantom can make a sound like my ancient MU, there's something unique about this baby which make me keeping this great sound module ! No need for modern expensive plugin's when you have this old and unique sound module ;) Moon Title: Re: Nineties Jungle Café Post by: elwoodblues1969 on October 19, 2008, 11:37:16 PM Moon,

Now you know why I still have all of my old gear! Sometimes there is a sound or feel that only they can give you. Plus it fun to reminisce ;) Title: Re: Nineties Jungle Café Post by: Oren on October 20, 2008, 04:46:08 PM ...Great exotic feel...Nice thick pad sounds and driving rhythm are the solid skeleton of this track...A+ production... Spacious sound, articulate hi-fi production O0 (superior to much of what I hear from recent synthetic composers :o) |
