Hey guys,
I am recording a total 80's sounding album, and that means sequenced drums babe. I would love to hear some tips by anyone who comes across this thread, such as: how to get that fat, gated, big 80's snare .... is it better to sample your own drums, or use the stock ones with Reason ..... EQing ... writing order: record rough song on top of drums, or record synth bass first, and everything after?
This is my first time recording this kind of music; 80's dance, with way more synths. Think New Order, Depeche Mode, OMD. What are the key things these guys DID!!!?
Do you think they wrote these songs on all the synths first, or acoustic instruments first?
My Rig:
Reason software
Logic Pro software
MIDI keyboard
Macbook Pro
Listen to my music, what do you think?> http://www.MySpace.com/Stargraph
Thanks for everything,
Rob
