 all those songs listed, still don't know exactly what the LM-1 Linn drum sound is tho  
Time to listen to just the songs mentioned   This probably waaay more information that you'd ever want but... The LM-1 was the first drum machine to sound like real drums because it used samples from a real drum kit (by late '70s standards, that was quite impressive). The key thing, though, is that each of the drum "voices" has its own tuning knob, so you can tweak the sounds (so they don't sound so much like "real" drums anymore). Prince was fond of tuning the rimshot and claps low and created a characteristic sound just from those two voices. He was also fond of adding flanging through a rack mount effects mixer. Check this out, and I think you'll get it. http://www.youtube.com/wa...Mad5DLHNOw The guy adds the rimshot at about 54 seconds in and the claps around the 59-second mark. Whoever created this video seems to have the all of the drums tuned similarly to Prince's tunings. WOW Thank U

PicassoFace said: I toyed around with re-creating the opening to "1999" last week. Check it out here if you want some amusement. http://www.james-tech.com...999ish.mp3 Keep in mind, I was just toying around for my own amusement and improvised most of this, so before all you purist start picking it apart and comparing it to the original, I should say that I know it doesn't replicate the opening of the real song by a long shot. 
-- [Edited 3/27/10 16:54pm] You did a nice job with 1999! I think I just figured out - I'm done with anything Prince did after ditching the Linn. That's the only sound of his I can really get behind. | |
