GOLDIE: Sequencing Software?
John Wisolith
Does anyone know what sequencing software Goldie used to mix his "Timeless"
album?
I know the project was produced and mixed on an Apple Macintosh (he says so
himself), but I'd like to know what particular software was used. Some of
those time-stretching effects are incredible. Any guesses?

Don't know for sure.
It certainly sounds like he is using recycle to do the cool spastic drum loops.
I assume it is recycle.
What else could have done them?

I read and interview in a magazine (Future Music maybe?) where engineer Rob
Playford said they got the ReCycle software about 1/3 of the way through
the recording of the album and used it on most of the tracks. He
wouldn't say what they used on the song "Timeless" though...

Practically every junglist I know of uses a program called Cubase. It is
very complicated, but one can certainly work wonders with it as far as
sequencing things and doing really neat effects like time stretching and
such. Goldie, as he is a junglist, must therefore by unwritten law of the
genre use Cubase. I'd bet on it.

Hi All,
"Sugatis" in a previous posting said that he'd bet that Goldie uses Cubase. Well, I use Cubase Score 2.03 on
PC, and I'm not a "junglist"... but here's and educated guess!
Keyboard Magazine April 1996: Caspar Melville wrote an article on Goldie. His setup is as follows: Justine
Curtis (another keyboardist) on Roland JV-90; Goldie on Korg M1 and Rob Playford (another keyboardist) on Korg
01/W, triggering samples and Roland TR-808 sounds. All three keyboards are connected to to a Macintosh via an
Opcode Studio 4 MIDI interface.
Since the article doesn't actually mention sequencing software, this suggests to me that he is possibly using
Opcode StudioVision or Digidesign ProTools.
One step closer?
Any other ideas?
Cheers,
Murray.

There was a interview with Rob Playford in Future Music (May edition) as
previously said.
In this interview it was said that he used Logic Audio on a Mac (probably
with Pro Tools).
On the picture on the live gig setup there was a Mac and a couple of 19"
racks with 2 Yamaha 01 digital mixers & Akai samplers and a Korg M1 with a
lot of labels on (probably used to trigger sequencer/samples via MIDI).
Some of the breakbeat tweeking was made on Steinberg ReCycle!, but you can
do the same with a normal (good) sampler... it's just faster & easier with
ReCycle.
A lot of the filter/eq. effects on Timeless can be done on a Kurzweil K2000
sampler or by making realtime changes to the Yamaha mixers fx/eq.
The K2000 is really good to do 'over the edge' effects since you can
control most parameters very precise.
The gear mentioned in the article was :
Korg 01/W
Kurzweil (K2000/K2500)
Oberheim (multiple)
Roland Juno (multiple)
Yamaha DX7
E-mu Vintage Keys
Akai S3000
I use Cubase Audio 3.0 XT on a PC, but I've tried Logic Audio a couple of
times too, and (drum-wise) it doesn't really matter which of them you use,
but generally Cubase might be easier to use for newcomers, where Logic wins
if you are used to the program and have a large setup.
The good thing about Logic is that you can customize just about everything
in the program, and if you use a lot of realtime changes with controllers
and SysEx it's also better than Cubase because of that.
Cubase has the benefit that most of the functions & designs are predefined,
and they've been the same for years which means that you'll feel 'at home'
on any Cubase on any platform no matter what version or platform you're
used to. This can save a lot of time in a studio where you have to use
their Cubase sequencer.
For those with a PowerMac, the new Cubase Audio VST is really worth
checking out. It gives you up to 32 audio tracks, FX and eq. without any
external hardware. Check it out at http://www.steinberg-us.com

Logic (Audio) ?

Actually, there was an interview with Rob Playford in the last issue of
Future Music and he mentioned using Logic Audio and ReCycle...

I think the time stretching was down outboard on an Akai S3000, could
have been Recycle or Alchemy for the Mac to.

rob playford said that they used recycle for chopping up the breaks,
cubase was used for sequencing, according to some music mag (can't
remember if it was future or someone else - he's been in about three
different mags lately)
