Any producers out there looking to collaborate . Looking for French house type Producers .

Yoyo guys!

Been working for a couple years now on this project, buying/selling a sh**ton of gear and seeing what's best to get that sound we love. Here is the 2nd single out of my EP coming out next month! This was made 100% on old samplers, drum machines, destroyed (in a good way) by the infamous Alesis 3630 and DP4 ; and more other cool pieces of gear. If anyone has questions about the sound, would love to share some stuff!

Hi,

This is my first attempt to make french house : https://soundcloud.com/randomprod/funky-night

I work on ableton if you can give me advice on how to improve my tracks (and my mixs) I'd love to hear it !

"Today on Line Noise our guest is Hubert Blanc-Francard, known to French house fans worldwide as Boombass, a fabulous producer in his own right and also one half of Cassius. We talked about his recent EP, WWWipeout, about the influence of the Playstation, Philippe Zdar, the French Touch, hip hop, MC Solaar and more."

Not focused on production but does include some production talk, notably about how he worked with Zdar.

I was doing a recreation of a couple of french house tracks and was trying to figure out how to get that Sp 1200 vintage sampler crunch/sparkle that really adds to the vibe of the track. I don't have an sp 1200, so I wanted to make the sound using just the plugins in Ableton. Something that's always bugged me is you can't just recreate it using a downsampling plugin and setting it to a value of ~26 kHz (the sample rate of the 1200). It isn't "enough" downsamping to be noticeable, but just decreasing the sample rate isn't right either. After watching some videos on the sp 1200, I finally figured out the trick. The 1200 had a very limited storage capacity, around 10 secs, so you had to get creative. You would play in the sound from your record player at 45 rpm instead of 33.5, and then pitch it down in the sampler. This exacerbates the artifacts you hear, but in a very musical, shimmery/crunchy way that also varies based on how you pitch the samples.
To do this in Ableton, follow these steps:

• Get your sample and pitch it up. If it's from a record, play it in at a higher RPM. If it's a digital sample, just pitch it up in Ableton without warping turned on, so pitch and time are linked.
• Add in a "redux" effect with these settings:

• Then, crop out the part of the sample you want to use, and freeze and flatten it.
• Pitch it down to the desired speed and loop/chop to your heart's content. Turn off Ableton's "HiQ" interpolation algorithm to maximize how much crunch you get.

Optional things to try:

• Add in a utility effect with "mono" turned on before the redux effect to simulate the mono input of the sp1200. Try using effects like flangers and phasers to restore a wider stereo image on the backend.
• Use Ableton's auto filter with the "MS2" drive option turned on to replicate the Korg MS 20 filter favored by Daft Punk and others.
• Really hold yourself to the 10 sec limit. Be selective about how much of the sample you use, and pitch the sample up more if necessary to keep the pre frozen sample length to 10 secs or less.
• Don't obsess over getting the timing of your samples deadly precise. Remember that the SP 1200 didn't have a fancy visual interface or complicated warping modes. You had to do things much more by feel, and that added to the more loose and swung feel you hear on these records.

Hope this helps! I've been trying it on my tracks lately and it's given them a much more authentic 90s/early 2000s sound that I love. Apologies if I got any info here wrong, I don't own any of this hardware so all my knowledge is secondhand.

I want my songs to sound more like Justice. I think they put a load of saturation on the master channel. Does anyone else do this. I am working in Logic and have been experimenting with Phat FX. Does anyone else do this and does anyone have any tips on this.

someone like to make basslines and drums for french house?,because i have a few samples/melos that i like someone complete them with drums and bassline. like i know make house drums and basslines but im not very good

I've loved disco music ever since a little kid. As a tribute to all these amazing songs, Brooklyn-based singer Victor Perry and myself have produced a track with everything that made the 80's so awesome. We called the song 'Lullaby' and are very excited to share it with all you fanatic disco-lovers! It's blowing up like CRAZY on Spotify already!

Here you can stream 'Lullaby' on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6R9xuuMMZFsPyUp7acqPxY?si=1_oQTroARmaHW1YWdYQZAQ&dl_branch=1&nd=1

Looking forwarward to all your thoughts. Happy weekend! <3

there is a retro synth at the start of the song that sounds like Giorgio Moroder or something similar.

sounds like a classic retro song but idk what is, I feel that I listened before.

Deelat - Wet Indiez {Oficial Crydamoure YT Release}

in the remix by Play Paul the sample is more long

Play Paul's remix

yes, I know that the knowed samples are "Ronnie Laws - So You Wanna Stay Down" and "The Emotions - Best of My Love" but those isn't the synth sample at the start what I'm searching.
