what Edition uad native are you using

@@opticalman6417 Hey, not sure what you're asking :) UAD generally started doing a lot of their plugins natively without needing any of their hardware. So I bought some of their bundles and plugins as they always have things on sale, but to be honest I am not even using all that much, i bought more than i could ever need. That is the thing with digital plugins, they don't take up physical space, but you still end up with too many options :D

Nice one ! 90s jungle is definitely great music.

Hey, thanks ! Yeah, i have discovered drum n bass and jungle back in early-mid 90s, i was 11-12 years old and that music just stuck with me for many years to come. It was so different, so out of this world to me back then, I fell in love with it from the very first seconds I accidentally heard it on a radio. By the end of the 90s and early 00 it was changing but was still good until I run in to Squarepusher's Go Plastc, that album just fucked my head completely. It was jungle, but it was superfast, super experimental, and Aphex Twin’s Drukqs completely changed the course for me and for the whole 00 I stopped listening to drum n bass and jungle (and i don't listen to it anymore at all :D ) and went fully experimental with my own music. Only for the past 4 years decided to stick to making classic oldschool jungle again, and it got me further than previous 20+ years :D

@@IJOSoundVideo Thank you for your reply! My first Contact to Jungle was in 95. A friend of mine had the REACT ARTCORE Ambien Jungle Vol. 1. This was the time when i fell in love with jungle...the beats combined with that 90s ambient sounds changed my life and i i still like it today.

samesies....i was about 19/20 and had been a drummer since about 5 years old. definitely feeling the jungle ... i love the longevity of the genre...it had "sorta" sold out for a bit but has really retained an underground continuity to this day (2024_)

Thank you !

Thanks for stopping by ;)

Thank you ! I think reasoning is very important. To me at least.

:)

Appreciate !

Thanks for tuning in, appreciate the comment !

Appreciate !!!

:D

Thanks !

Thank you !

I am surprised at this my self. I don't even like Reason, but I am so used to it, i am super quick with it and i can do pretty much whatever i want in it. I don't like it because i feel it has some weird "sound", not as pleasant as other DAWs i have tried (albeit uncomfortable for me, like Ableton).. But at the end of the day i get the job done and everything else I don't like about it might be my own illusion. People seem to be liking stuff i do with it so i guess i am just a little delusional about the whole sound :)

@@IJOSoundVideo I saw someone test if the different daws had their own "sound" and he found that Reason had its own sound because of the ssl mixer!

Thanks !

:)

Hey cheers !! I am sure the hardware / non hardware thing is mostly just an illusion. I keep questioning myself, do i really need all that stuff ? :) You can have a listen to my non jungle stuff at my bandcamp, but a good chunk of it was jungle inspired, but a lot faster and hyper experimental, along with some mellow jazz stuff and IDM.

I am very subtle with it, but there was a time when I was cracking it to the fullest and indeed everything was too distorted. I had to learn to use plugins very gently, as i was always overdoing it.

Hey, thanks for the comment. Most KZfaq channels, when they get bigger, they are getting sponsorships hence they start selling products, as they are getting paid this way. I am not interested in selling anything, unless it's my own releases or something i am involved in , which doesn't happen often.. I simply love sharing my insights in to my own head when it comes to making music, i want my videos to be inspiring for others to be creative instead of telling them they need this or that to be able to make good stuff... We need nothing at all, if I am honest, to be able to make good stuff. We only need inspiration, that comes from experiences. So instead of buying stuff, - have experiences and use that to boost your creativity. Instead of buying this or that plugin, buy a trip to mountains or whatever :) I do that all the time, I don't buy stuff, i take trips with my family to places i have never been to, that is a lot more exciting :)

@@IJOSoundVideo wise words !

Yes, Jim Baker, he's the one responsible for everything Source Direct is known for. Phil was just there as a companion to Jim, but wasn't as involved in anything creative.

@@IJOSoundVideo Oh I see, yes that was Jim, for sure. Programming genius considering everything was hardware back then. These 1996 interviews on KZfaq are such a treat. They were so young and so ahead. Lightning in a bottle much

Hey thanks for the comment. I do both ways. It is a lot harder processing the first generation break to get it to sound the way i want, but i used the first generation amen break on my Disrupt 12". The only processing it had was going in to the S1000 and then through the mixing desk preamp and EQ. Mosttly I just find clean breaks in original jungle tunes and sample those I like, there's actually only a handful i have that i keep using over and over again. Running them through AKAI and mixing desk can add another layer of gentle shaping to fit my tune. The amen here in this video was actually lifted from early Photek stuff and before i put it in to AMIGO VST i run it through the s1000 as well.

I fixed (i hope) the link in the description. It's this one www.youtube.com/@FutureCityAmbient

Hey ! I don't send my tracks to DJs unless it's someone I know, and when I send them my tracks, they're always mastered. Either the label masters them when they're putting out a 12" or I do using LANDR. Everything on my Bandcamp is mastered by LANDR unless otherwise stated.

This particular break comes from The Sentinel - Heavy Vibes . Enjoy !! ;)

@@IJOSoundVideo thank you for sharing, most appreciated 👍

Hey mate ! I actually haven't sent you my stuff yet, but most probably labels Like Disrupt or even Tim Reaper might have sent you some of my tunes. I know Rapture from IG stories others are posting, but I stopped following the scene and gigs altogether some time ago as I have lost interest in clubbing :) Big ups though !!!

@@IJOSoundVideo yes we run a club night but also a label as well it’s Rupture London

Thank you, mate ! Well, comments like this kind of keep me going ! But at the same time I am running out of ideas, i feel like jungle is just being recycled, and it's just all the same over and over, i am losing interest in hearing the same stuff and making the same stuff, if you know what i mean ?

@@IJOSoundVideo yeah i definitely know what you’re saying

Hey, thank you :)

Hey, it's Future City Music Ambient. Just checked, the link in my description works fine.

@@IJOSoundVideo Link doesn't work for me either, link in description displays "/@uc2e1mrnt4it5keuh_-ip-ug", but if I search Future City Music Ambient, I found the channel, looking forward to checking it out.

@@IJOSoundVideo the link in description didn't work for me either, but I think I found it by name searching. www.youtube.com/@FutureCityAmbient

@@IJOSoundVideo Didn't work for me either.

@@chocomalk I hope i fixed the link in the description, but here it is: www.youtube.com/@FutureCityAmbient

Never thought about that ! Will think about it .

@@IJOSoundVideo Yes PLEAAAAAAAAAASE do! Thanks.
