I dont, cos mostly I hear bloops and bleeps and 808 toms all the time. But thats not drum machines, it DAW Programmed sampled beats.tone-def wrote:i'd rather not make or listen to techno if thats the case.Casanova808 wrote: I find it funny that people think you can replicate old drum machines by buying sample sets and working in a daw or sampler. That isn't how techno is supposed to be made. The trick is to have all of those sequencers running at the same time with slightly different feels. You can't get that ITB or with an MPC. You need several machines dealing with the midi clock in a slightly different way with a little lag between each unit in the chain.
I dont like music thats out of time or having unwanted flams all over the shop but having said that, I do have a fondness for the older techno from back in the day when drum machines were used. The no-nonesense approach ensured they werent missing the point of the music. A lot of stuff these days is just arty farty ponsiness to my ears.
Maybe Im just getting old and Im stuck in the late 80's and 90's but I am fascinated by drum machines. Id collect em if I could.
