**** yeah. I really enjoyed that. Never seen it before. It's very interesting to see how they sampled all those different records and made them fit. Well impressed!

Yeah man. Also the way Liam edited those samples back in 96-97. Some of them are far beyond recognition. I always thought it was all synths and sound modules.

So did I!

Awesome tutorial.

Then you will like this one as well:



EDIT: Tutor, do you maybe know what his setup was around making Fat of the Land?
There's not much info about that available online. All I heard is that he used the TB303
a few times.

I'm not Tutor but I recommend this equipment lists.

The Fat of the Land was the frst release he used cubase (mac) as sequencer. Before that he used the W30 sequencer.
To sequence on the w30 you have to be a special kind of breed IMO
I once had one but didn't liked the sequncer much. I sold it but I kind of regret it cause the reason why I sold it was a whining display inverter. I should have think twice and get more into this machine (had it just for 2 months or so and never really used it much)


peace

Just check his channel. He doesn't have that videos unfortunately. I think there's another one on Voodoo people

Aight. Thanks

EDIT: **** hell…. What a list. It's pure gear porn. Almost all the classic drum machines, a bunch of Akai rack samplers, ton of (classic) synths. Just not human anymore.

thanks very inspiring.

holy fking shit that is on some next level sampling. how do you even begin to sit in a studio and say "you know what im going to use X sample this way, X sample that way etc etc and make a track"

also, say if the prodigy never disclosed those samples how the hell do you even figure that out.

it's always baffled me especially for example the track "Number Song" by DJ Shadow, the sample from the metallica song Orion, how in the world did someone listening to that just up and say oh shit that's Orion, because if i recall Shadow never disclosed that at all and was pretty miffed when it got exposed.

Defiantly years of practice. These guys came from an era where they couldn't visualize sound like we do on our DAWS. They hear it. Even I have trouble hearing what I produce sometimes because I am so used to seeing it on the screen. I do think that is a big difference.

At a guess I'm saying they just sat with a sample, or whatever they had available at the time, and **** with it until they got something that sounded nice to their ears.

That's a guess.

No doubt these dudes are creative geniuses though.

Liam has been doing it so well for such a long time.

I saw them play to a small room of 150-200 people, just before Music for the Jilted Generation was released and they went big. Had absolutely no idea who they were, had no idea what was what in techno, was into grunge/metal at the time, I asked the guy at the techno record store what was good, he said I should go check Prodigy the next night, **** blew my mind!

My metal/grunge mates were giving me so much shit at the time for going to a techno gig, now they regret not coming with me.

Liam was set up in the corner in his cage of kit, before he was rocking laptops, before Keith opened his stupid **** mouth and ruined it. I was standing up the back of the room, at one point, one of the black dancers was walking/dancing through the crowd to the back of the room, stopped about a foot from my face, dancing in my face, had his cat eye contact lenses in, I was on acid, the new Jilted tracks were crankin', I was like WTF, this shit is **** awesome!

^list of gear he uses

good website...

haven't listened to prodigy in quite some time

But Firestarter wouldn't have been the same without Keith. That's a fu..cking tune!

When I hear their music all I remember is the game Wipeout on the PS1. I'm sure they had their tracks on that. Still one of the best games made.
