Prodigy track made in Ableton in 10 mins

Not sure what the OP is trying to say; that Prodigy's tracks are shit and easy? Remember, this track was released in 1997, produced probably the same year or in '96. No software DAWs like Ableton or Logic (in the shape we have them now) were available at the time.

That's why I love the quality of the early Prodigy stuff; it's all chopped up pretty badly and sampled from all over the shop. Genius!

Re Ableton, just tried the new studio version but couldn't really get my head around it as I'm so used to using Logic. Speaking of which, has anyone tried Logic 9? Any good?

We should get together and show some of our productions of the forum. I'm quite into Dubstep and heavy bass electronic stuff.

Its not much more than an ableton showcase. Recreating tracks is easy. I learned most of what I know (not much) by recreating other peoples music.

1997 was hardly the dark ages, by 98, Logic 4 had full audio with timemachine, software instruments, and all the plugins you ever needed. Plus the s5000/s6000 and Emu Ultras where around, even in 97 I think with full graphical on screen sampled editing. You just needed a bit more kit. Not like the early 90s when I was still working with an s900 :-(
