Hey guys,
First and foremost, if anybody is remotely interested in teaming up
and boucing ideas and concepts back and forth with me please do so.
Alright, I am just beginning to get into remixing and producing
house/dance music but am facing a huge challenge: how do I obtain the
jazzy keyboard/piano sound found used by remixers such as David
Morales, Frankie Knuckles, and C&C Music Factory in the early to
mid-nineties?
I have literally experimented with various combinations chords
(playing 3 notes simultaneously) and cannot get that jazzy feel found
in those guys' sounds (or their respective keyboardists').
Currently I am using an inexpensive Yamaha keyboard connected to an
Alesis Nano Piano sound module.
Do I need a synthesizer I can tune like a piano and will that perhaps
give me the sound I need?
I realize part of this involves certain types of piano sounds, but
regardless of the type of sample I am using I should still be able to
come up with this "feel". This is so confusing!
Yes, I really admire what Robert Clivilles and David Cole
accomplished. Remixers, producers, lyric and song writers, wow, I
would shake their hands if I could.
Secondly, what are the types of house pianos used? Oh, while I'm at
it; what are the typical types of string sounds used in house and
disco recordings? I cannot find these samples anywhere, unless there
is some magical tweaking required.
Help!
Thank you,
