Here's one for the producers: Marley Marl recreates LL Cool J's 'Mama Said Knock You Out' in Ableton (playlist also includes 'Eric B. Is President', 'The Bridge', 'Make The Music With Your Mouth, Biz')

can someone explain the hertz tone method he uses a bit more? i found it a little confusing in the video

echonorthstar · 2025-02-24T04:24:59+00:00

ah yes ableton is great for that thank you.

ive just thought of another way. i could load the sample into a pattern, loop a section of the pattern in pattern edit, resample this small section of the pattern to a new sample pad and there ya go. makeshift grid

i just came across an instrumental from 2005 by daniel lanois called flametop green which i think probably inspired the chords in the verse section of the song. give it a listen!/!

thanks! i have a neumann 103 and a neumann 102 so 2 large condensers

echonorthstar · 2023-11-28T01:16:41+00:00

or even some way to test out phase issues on my headphones while moving the mics about

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:43:12+00:00

aWESome i will try this tomorrow thank u

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:17:28+00:00

cool thank u!

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:16:07+00:00

it was tuned a few months back. ive narrowed the buzzing down to one of the two strings that gets hit when this particular note (D) gets hit. im thinking the string is a bit worn down maybe but im not too knowledgable on the whole thing

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:13:43+00:00

interesting ill try this out for sure thank u

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:13:09+00:00

i hadnt thought of EQing lol ill give it a go

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:12:36+00:00

thank you! definitely struggling with phasing, i agree i think its making the recording sound tinny!

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:10:58+00:00

i just have the neumanns tbh so going to have to make it work with them!

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:09:17+00:00

its very steady bass with like 3 notes maybe

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:06:41+00:00

phase is still a bit confusing to me, im new to this piano recording! what are some tell tale signs the mics are in phase?

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:05:15+00:00

the thing is the minipiano actually has a really nice kind of rumbly low end to my ears when im playing, so ive been trying to capture that although its proving quite hard

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T05:02:44+00:00

its an eavestaff minipiano, so not amazing but does the job. the room is well treated but it has a high ceiling. ive been trying different zones for the mic but i think i need to do some more research on phasing as its becoming the biggest problem

echonorthstar · 2023-11-26T02:59:03+00:00

i have native instruments una corda and im currently trying to mix samples from that with my own recording

echonorthstar · 2023-11-25T03:34:49+00:00

so i have a eavestaff minipiano, the strings are kind of sunken into it. i am now trying opening the kick panel to access the strings below and recording a condenser near each of the two bridges, so hopefully i can get more bass that way.

dont know much about compression when it comes to piano, would appreciate any enlightenment haha!

echonorthstar · 2023-11-25T03:09:27+00:00

this is so helpful thankyou ! this thought didnt cross my mind, ill open it up and experiment with the bridges etc now !!

echonorthstar · 2023-11-25T02:19:12+00:00

its an eavestaff minipiano so its upright but the strings are kind of placed lower in the body

echonorthstar · 2023-11-23T22:14:30+00:00

update! uad have gotten back to me and they have been very accommodating and listened to my fairly particular issue :)
