  • 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.

    The OP isn't saying anything other than posting a video.

    I'm well aware when the original was made and also the original equipment used.

    Personally I think the the video shows the genius of Howlett's original composition and in particular his sample manipulation. It also shows how computer software has since developed to aid that process today.

    Logic 9 is great Flex Time, Audio Quantize etc are a huge time saver if your are working with audio.

    I think there is another thread about peoples mypace pages but I'm too lazy to search for it. I did a string of remixes last summer which you can hear on Hypemachine

    I'm currently working on my own album which should be ready early 2010.

  • The problem with this is that it suggests that the tools are all you need and with a powerful enough computer it's easy. But the real talent and what takes time isn't the manipulation of sound using computers, it's in identifying which sounds to sample and arranging them to create the music. The video lacked creative process.

    I thought that was what it was trying to suggest too but then realised it was just a "look at what this software can do" video.

    As you and gizmond both say it's the initial inspiration that is where the talent lies, many people can play Beethoven ...

  • Just got in. Saw this. Epic.....
    I can honestly say that they are the best gig i have seen live, and i have the tinnitus to prove it.
    Second to that, The Chemical Brothers at Gatecrasher Summer Sound System were a close second.
    I was working as emergency medical assistance at that festival - and was gobsmacked by the sheer talent that is Tom and Ed.
