Subject:Disco sounds Posted by: Batucada Date:10/31/2002 2:20:38 PM Hi, Anyone producing Garage or deep/vocal/french/disco-House? Or anything funky? If so, what software/hardware do you use? Which and how do you use your effects etc..? My problem is that the disco-ish sounds are difficult to create and to sample. I have some bass, brass, organ, piano and string SF2's and loads of samples but I can't sample the sounds to my taste. I wonder how the Pro's do it? I wonder how they manipulate their sounds etc... If there's anyone who can give me some tips, techniques or ideas, I would be so grateful. Anyway, thanx:) Cheers.
