techno production (2000-2004) compared to todays sound....

[ritaheed]

People were still making music on machines with analogue desks etc - gives it more of a real raw sound compared to todays polished off digital stuff

Thats what ive noticed about some of todays techno peeps - the sound is too clean, to digitised if tht makes sense - techno shouldnt be clean, it should sound real n raw and in yer face

Just my opinion tho :)

I think some of it has to do with the mastering process

A lot of techno on big labels at the time (P. Rhythm, Compound, Punish etc etc was going through either Lawrie @ CurvePusher or Nilz @The Exchange

I think those 2 engineers and their equipment played a massive part in the sound your talking about

also the digital era has provided for a lot of crap out there, undermining the real quality releases, this didn't happen 10 years ago when tracks had to be of good quality to get released. Nowadays anyone can release any sh*t they like, it's free...

What Miss Kosmix said hold true.
