Daptone Records

i feel like a lot of the people that spend all their time and money on gear are just procrastinating. Make your music how you like it and shut the fuck up.





and regarding the sequencing being better with an mpc/asr/sp1200 than protools or abbelton... that's just not even close to being correct.




Boo hoo. I make music on a guitars, bass, keys, turntables, & samplers. Sequencing or programming on computers is for beginners. Let's not confuse engineering with music making. Obviously, recording on pro tools is great. But, beatmaking on pc/mac=amateur.





Hands on instruments rule. Make your weak sauce beats & shut the fuck up.

it was daptone, i think right around the time of the rod stewart sessions.
 
These days I do my stuff on my laptop in my dining room, I don't own any analog tape machines (apart from cassette decks) anymore. Easy. I do of course use real instruments, but the only part of the process which is analog these days is if I have to sample something from record right at the start & within the process of the final product physically getting to vinyl.
 
yeah, great studio , great guys - cool vibe!


respect Daptone's





p.s. looking into buying 8 or 4 track tape recorder (or cassete ?)


is TASCAM Midistudio 688 any good for a raw Jazz or Funk/Soul live recordings?


or any other ( affordable ) recorders?
