Ben Sims Question

[slavestudios]

i'm a huge fan. djin & production are both superb imo..

anyways, anyone know what he uses in the studio ? i'm guessing an MPC of some description but it wouldnt be the first time i was totally wrong :lol:

[MARKEG]

MPC???

Why do you think that? I would have thought pure software, down to the sheer about of loops he uses. But perhaps Herman can give us some clues cause he's worked with him recently ;)

[slavestudios]

the sound of the filters ? the loop based side of it ?

i know Rue East use one (MPC3000 i think ?) so that kinda swayed me a bit.

suppose, if he did use an MPC he would prob do the odd live show. which he doesnt...

mmm. interesting. anyone enlighten me ? :eh:

[herman]

Its not for me to give away anyones secrets ;) but its definitely not an mpc

[Zektor]

[ampassasinbirmingham]

back on topic i remember him saying he uses pc's rather than macs because he likes to use soundforge.

And you're right... the B1 track does bare uncanny resemblance to something I had Antonio send to you. ;)

They spelled Ben's name wrong though :lol: :lol:

yeah played the B2 track on NYE's and the crowd loved it, got a few peeps asking what it was so well done guys on that one.

[slavestudios]

One Legged Disco is a top record. £6 well spent & a 12 that will stay in the box for a bit methinks :clap:

Held To Ransom (A1) is definetly my fave, but they all rock :rambo:
