Can Dr Meaker make a drum & bass track with just a Behringer Neutron?

  • Опубліковано 7 сер 2022
  • With two decades of experience in the game, Dr Meaker lynchpin Clive Meaker has carved out a reputation for himself amongst the UK scene, for both his infectious, bass-heavy productions and his live shows, which see Dr Meaker adapted into a full live band complete with drums, live bass, vocalists and a horn section. For his track The Neutron, Clive challenged himself to make a full release with just a single synth - Behringer's semi-modular Neutron. We caught up with him to see how it was done.
    See more of Dr Meaker and his studio workflow in issue 387 of Future Music. Out 23 August.
    The Neutron is out now on Symmetry Recordings.

    the work on the arrangement is really next level and it's where i guess most people ( At least me ) fall short! the sound design part isn't so complex but putting the sound together from those basic building blocks is definitely black magic!

      As I'm a complete newb the way he makes sounds was just great to see. I'd waste so much time making bad sounding noises!
      The neutron is my first synth, bought it used on a whim as the price was so low. I thought it was like the crave so expected to make sequences right out of the box. Still £165 on the neutron and two controllers, no regrets.

      @@clivemeaker4738 It ended up being more than i expected, phat enough i reckon ;) Just curious about what other hardware and processes you used here. You mentioned a preamp, i'm guessing it's the 1073 clone ? Also, did you use the API2500 at all ? I might actually get a Neutron, but i want to stay all otb with hardware for that set-up. Having a nice chain for the Neutron to feed into will be the key.

    There is a way better way to make kicks with the Neutron. Put the resonance of the filter super high until the filter self-resonates, then turn the mod wheel up and put the LFO on a Saw wave. Then play with the filter frequency and LFO speed until you get a nice thumpy kick.
