    In reply to Moby Gives a Tour of His Incredible Drum Machine Collection
    When "Play" came out, it blew my mind. That doesn't mean I'm a huge Moby fan, but I respect the hell out of he and his work. But, in the video, he says he'd rather use drum machines than plugins - then later admits he doesn't even use the machines, but has pre-recorded samples of everything they do. So he only uses them once.

    [serious question]
    I've long wanted to mess around with drum samples and create some of my own mixes just for fun, so: how is that different that using pre-packaged plugins (other than the fact that he created each sample himself)?

    @lankysob:
    I don't think I fully understand you're question, but I'll give it a shot.
    Having original material is what makes a person unique. If you make combinations that haven't been made before, you could have a major piece of work in your hands.
    Every single song I write has influences, whether it be from vocals, guitar, or drums. I collaborate everything I have heard and try to make something new. You can't put together something if you have nothing. Every single sound will influence your music in one way or another.
    Pre-packaged plugins may not have the same rhythm or sound as some machines.

    @doompod: Whoops, sorry...looks like in the editing of my own question it became a bit garbled. I was trying to ask this: how is not using pre-packaged sounds, yet still using standard (as in, unchanged from the drum machine) pre-recorded sounds any different?

    I guess, if I'm understanding you correctly, it's that he's recording sounds from machines that the standard mixing programs don't currently have samples of...thereby giving him a wider library of effects due to creating original material beyond the usual in-program canned beats.

    [I think I've talked myself in circles enough for one night]

    I like that these are pretty much like brass knuckles that can be worn in places where those wouuld be illegal.

    @Dick In A Box: I carry around several pens for that. Pens can be used to stab people just as easily as knives, and you don't generally feel bad about having something confiscated that you just stole from the office supply closet anyway.


    Plus, they're TSA legal and don't typically set off metal detectors.

    And how are these better than the old-school 808?

    'Sup Dawg. We heard you like fat beats so we put drum machines on your rings so you can beat while you beat.

    @BPA-Free_GitEmSteveDave: Those are sum rings, indeed... definitely a nice product. No doubt an exclusive set worthy of factoring into my calculations.
