I'm not alking about the best song-writing but the most polished and well recorded sound. I hear so much stuff that's full of general midi sounds etc, but I'm trying to find stuff to listen to with more of a classy edge to the production.

Add to that Wookie, just because he is so consistent (and tunes like Back up and Battle were brilliant), and mebbe put D'N'D in there as well, especially the newer remixes. How 'bout you Fat Zed ... who do you rate? Last edited by boosted : 15-05-2002 at 08:11 PM.

JJ Guest Posts: n/a	you kinda contradict yourself there bro coz the majority of the time its not the producers job to polish the sound unless your talking about which producer chooses the best samples, hehe

DJ Fat Zed Analogue Join Date: Feb 2002 Posts: 543	Perhaps we're getting confused with definitions here? Most dance music is done and dusted by one guy nowadays, save perhaps a little mastering somewhere else. And for me the polish comes in the mixing, processing, editing etc. I guess some people get an engineer to do that for them. I know Zedbias does the whole shebang though, he loves his pultec eqs as well....

I'll bet 90% of "producers" out there do it all themselves these days (arrange, sample, compose, mixdown). Short of the final mastering process which may be handed off to a larger mastering house that has the nice finalizers, etc. (i.e. The Exchange, JTS, etc.....) I think most of the people mentioned thus far do it all themselves. Last edited by boosted : 13-05-2002 at 11:00 PM.

DJ Fat Zed Analogue Join Date: Feb 2002 Posts: 543	I think it's all pretty vague, and there aren't many rules either. Some people use engineers some do it all themselves. Some use so called "engineers" who are actually writing their music for them. Doing the whole thing yourself can work quite well as if you're capable of it you can create the entire sound that you visualise. Using a seperate engineer can give added input and allow you excellent sound quality that you never acheive otherwise.
