Kool Keith rocks the 60

By DJAndreas Thu Jul 21, 2005 9:32 am
DJ Times: Alright. Before we explore your schizophrenia, I was wondering about the production of the record. You were behind the boards for this one. Do you have a preference for a particular drum machine?

Kool Keith: I use the Akai mainly, and the MPC-60 sampler…and the rest is all me. I don’t use the average Top-40 equipment to make a record. I think I use a lot of things that maybe a lot of the drum-n-bass kids be using, or the techno kids. It’s not like I’m using the same equipment that the industry is using.

Keith uses: SP-1200, MPC 60, Asr-10, Korg Triton, Moog, Korg MS/Poly. Mackie D8B, Machie 24/96 HDR, Alan Smart C2, Neumann U87ai, 2" tape, among other various odds and ends.

haha, that sounds exactly like some rapheads' studio. Apart from the terrible console :roll:

dated 99, I wonder if he had the upgrades?

I read a more recent interview for the truck driver thing he did and the 60 was still there. They talked about it like is was central too.

Elm - That setup I just kicked ya'll is current 2005. Thats a fact.

C.Toon - Word. haha. D8B was big sh*t in the late 90's. THX SOUND! George Lucas endorsements! Haha. It's a descent board, but I could think of quite a few other options I'd throw my 3-5G's at. (ie. Trident 65, MCI 400/600 series, Soundtracs CM4400, Harrison Pro console(s), etc.)

Btw. For those who like useless trivia, Premo and them rock a MCI JH636. You could get a pair racked up for under a G off the bay. Just FYI for those who want a big part of the D&D sound without spending all the doe. Don't get it twisted, they were using Neve Prism EQ's and Pultecs too, but from the mixing console sound standpoint is what i'm saying.
