I'm sure he has.But,do you think Primo asked......"Hey,how does Melle Mel get his drums to sound like that?""What settings does he use?"etc.etc.
It's not about hating on cat but you have to experiment,don't be afraid of the mp,embrace it.


I'm sure Primo asked a question similar to that...it is only natural. However, the answer he got from those questions didn't, most likely, shape his sound...that was done through experimentation and hard work...so I agree with you there.

I think the poster could just re-word his question to sound less.. something... and he would have got less negative responses.

Threadstarter...check out the newest remix magazine... it has a primo interview with a gear list. He say he doesn't really like compression. He just samples his drum really loud...sometimes lets them go into the red.

Sometimes distortion is a good thing.

depends what you sample into- a lot of hardware allows you to go into the red.

Digital clipping is the overkill. I love that!! Crazy experimental sounds. :D
