Thanks!

Hey! Thank you so much for the support. 😊

I completely agree with you. The LM-1 was an incredible starting point that paved the way for the more sophisticated and well-crafted LinnDrum. I love both in terms of sound, but as you mentioned, the design of the LinnDrum truly is “a work of art.” Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching, will do!

Thanks for the sub and Happy Year! 🎊 🎉

Oh yes!!

@ I’m pre ordering mine from Andertons in the next few days.

@@kentaccordionist That's amazing, let me know your first impressions once you have it.

@ will do. Although I already know I will love it, I already own 2 BEHRINGER mixers and 1 8 Chanel sub mixer, their 8 Chanel audio interface, a Rd6 drum machine, 2 pedals, and 14 BEHRINGER synths so I guess you could way I’m one of ULI’S biggest fans in the UK. In fact my new JT Mini just arrived today, so I’m just about to test that out now.

@@kentaccordionist That's quite a collection, share any music if you have it available. Cheers from NY!

Absolutely! Prince is the ultimate proof of how talent, technique, and a deep understanding of musical production come together. It showed his mastery of creating space and letting the song breathe, following his vision instead of convention. Pure genius!

Thanks

Hi Brian, I’ve been using it in different ways-sometimes to run tracks through it, as you mentioned, and other times to process specific sounds, like pads, to achieve that warm tone. I also recorded directly with Tascam as my primary source. I have a couple of videos on my channel where I experimented with it that you might find interesting. Thanks so much for watching!

Yes, they used the drum machine to align it with the real drum when they recorded. I talk a bit more about it here: th-cam.com/video/Et-xYWUbJlU/w-d-xo.html Happy New Year!

When I was a kid I thought it was a real drum but it is a mix of both, you can notice that the HiHat and the kick are more relevant at the beginning of the track than in starts to transition more into the drum machine but still the drum is the most relevant in the entire track. Thanks for watching!

Because its a real drummer overlayed with a drum machine.

@fender1000100 is right about it.

Yes, actually when you hear them together for me it sounds more like the original track. Maybe the Linndrum help to emulate the real drum in this experiment. Cheers!

@@thespots indeed. Thanks for watching!

Yeah! Got it when I bought the micro freak in a synth expo in Brooklyn, NY. Cheers!

@ a rep gave one at guitar center

Nice​@@bboymac84

Absolutely!

Thanks for your comment! I actually ran into some trouble syncing the tempo perfectly in Logic. Initially, I recorded using the LM-1, but I noticed the tempo was slightly faster, so I had to re-record. Unfortunately, I ran into issues with the video footage, so I had to work with what I had. Apologies for any confusion, and I really appreciate your understanding!

@@NostalgicExplorer Oh wow. Does your LM-1 have midi installed? How are you syncing it with logic?

@@CallieRogers-d8p the LM-1 does not have MIDI and it has to be installed. Bruce Forat does that job in California. He is the best. For a logic I had to play each part live for 4 bars using the click, very artisanal. 🙃🎹

@NostalgicExplorer You don t slave the LM-1? Tempo drift seems to be the tempo knob… using a roland sbx 1 and a garfield minidoc seems a way to have it sync. Not sure if it is rock solid with a daw…

@@klinkske I could have used the Arturia Beatstep Pro which I have but because I was a bit frustrated with the tempo I forgot that was an option. What you are suggesting is also another great option.

Chorus and Flanger, the sound effects of the 80s. Cheers!

And he was worried that 'Do they know is Christmas?' will steal a place for this song when he releases it. Today it is a classic.

@@tsitracommunications2884 wow! Do you remember what the commercial was?

@NostalgicExplorer for the rhythm machine

That's right. I wish I had one for this video.

It's a great song! Cheers!

Thank you so much for the support!

Have fun with it. The little brother of the 808.

Long live Prince's music!

Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for watching!

@@NostalgicExplorer aw

It's a very nice and warm sound. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Thanks for watching!

RIP George ❤️

Hey! thanks for the comment and I was indeed trying to get that 80s house style sound which I love. Cheers!

Absolutely! I kind of want to think that the 80s was the decade of the clap. I even remember my brothers making fun of my first demos because I added claps to it 😆 . Cheers!

He is missed in this world.

I’ve realized that the EPROMs in my machine might be placed in the wrong spots, and I didn’t notice it until people like you started pointing it out.

@NostalgicExplorer Ah!! Glad to be of help

@NostalgicExplorer I don't know if I'd ever buy a LM-1. I'm a HUGE fan of Prince's 80s output which as you pointed out featured it heavily. I already have the MPC One Plus with many collections of LM-1 samples. I'm not even sure about the upcoming Behringer. I do wanna check it out. Hopefully the Guitar Center will have it on display

For the prices being offered today, I think the MPC would be a perfect choice unless you’re looking for a collectible piece. Let’s see how close the sound of the LM Drum is-maybe that will be a great option without spending thousands of dollars. Cheers!

Thank you so much for watching and the support! There’s no compression on the Cabasa; it sounds that way because it features lower and higher volume buttons designed to emulate the dynamics of a real Cabasa.

Thanks so much for the feedback and taking the time to watch thoroughly through the video. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

@@NostalgicExplorer same to you!!!

Thanks for noticing, yes it is an approach. Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much and I would love to see a documentary with the producers and engineers talking about the process behind this track. Cheers!
