Recreating The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up' in Ableton

[Funk]

This video impressed me deeply this afternoon...! Amazing what you can do with a bit of software on a laptop these days..

Very, very clever.

Um. Wasn't this sort of thing possible with Cubase Audio and so on? It's not like they were cutting up tape.

Probably. Still, this track's just over 12 years old now, and it seems ludicrously easy to 'make' these days. I'm sure 13 years ago it was a different story.

Either way, it's an awesome track and a cool video. I've had 'Fat of the Land' on at high volume all afternoon.

Many thanks for that, I'm quite a big Prodigy fan and sent it to another.

Cheers, Greg.

Ah, I guess it might be easier what with processing speeds. I used to piss about with samples and such when producing drum n bass tracks. Memory was expensive (I bought a 16Mb SIMM upgrade for about £250 ) for sampling and direct to disk recording wasn't cheap due to poor latency on drives that you normally get in PCs.
