I just finished reading this issue.. In particular the "Six Machines that changed the music world" article was rather good, lots of mentions of detroit artists. They talk about how Derrick May's "To Be or Not to Be" was hard to master because of the phasing was to great it would cause the mastering needle to burn out.
Also there's some stuff in there relevant to the recend Dan Bell discussion. A description from Josh Wink about his Akai S950 and how he used it to create "Don't Laugh". Apparently he had 3 hours sleep in 3 days and was so tired all he could do was laugh, so he sampled his laughter and added some 303 and 909. By accident he hit the value transpose knob and the sample was pitched down an octave. -Sam ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 4:10 PM Subject: [313] new Wired magazine - laptop techno > The newest issue of Wired (with, eech, Moby on the cover) is their music > issue.
