Hello everybody
I saw that there is no thread about this so I’m starting one to get some informations and advices
I would like to know if some of you have some advices to create some Lo-Fi sounds, beats, if there are some special technics, synthesisers especially for this.
After reading some threads it looks like the best way is to get a tape deck and a good compressor to get that warm low quality effect is that easy to do ?
I was planning to use AR for beats, OT for loops / samples, Monologue / Xoxbox for bass and acid sounds and maybe get a cheap DX7 or ESQ1 for chords.
I also have a 1210 MKII to sample some records, but I need more records to use it properly !
I’m not interested by using softwares and really want a hardware approach, and just use Ableton to record it.
So to resume:
- what is the best way to record this typical sound ?
- what kind of synth would you use ?
- any tape decks and compressors recommendations ?
- how to use my actual stuff in the best way ?
Some examples of what I want to approach and thank you by advance for all those who will read this thread.
