- In this exclusive video from 2009 French House legend Alan Braxe discusses with Future Music how the track Intro and Stardust were made with just an E-mu SP-1200 sampler, Alesis 3630 compressor and a Mackie mixer.

I have waited 17 years for this
All being fed though his Alesis 3630 compressor. The French make great cheese.
it’s just ducking the kick…quit talking noise about “The French”, Francophobe.
Alan not having the bassline sample anymore is the equivalent of Nasa losing the technology to land on the moon.
bassline was made by Fred Flake so it s easy to do it again if really needed,
Such a nice friendly and humble guy and the track is an instant classic. Much respect!!!
If only he still had the bassline, this is amazing insight though. He did so much with that machine.
@Joshua Langley sometimes it's best to not comment.
@Joshua Langley You don't know what you are talking about bro
Intro was a game changer for me, an eye-opener...
I own one. It is just amazing. I still live in 94.
😅 so good !!
How is it going with your windows 98 LOL
I just turned his "record pitch up, play pitch down" technique upside down on my microsampler: I recorded pitched and tempo'd down beats on very low resolution (6 to 12khz) and set them to "BPM pitch change". When the beats are played back at their original BPM, there is a bit less of the original harmonic content, but I save up a bunch of memory on my little toy with some cute lo-fi artifacting! Moments like that make me feel like I belong to a tradition of cool tinkerers. Much love to this guy and all the hardware sampleurs out there!
when music and vibes were created using soul and ears. That's why this shit still bangs nowadays.
+ talent
+ love
(+ french touch 😋)
SO TRUE DUDE
Running intro in 2023 still sounds incredible
This is the ULTIMATE french house setup! A Sample (directly from vinyl) -> SP-1200 -> Mackie mixer -> Alesis 3036...
This is amazing. Love Intro, loved The Jets song he sampled, it's wild to have him walk us through his creative process.
I am glad people are still loving hardware samplers as much as I do.
Fantastic insight to the brilliant producer!
Demi Gods Ableton Tutorials I love how you comment on all these videos. Love your tutorials btw
Hairs on end whenever intro comes on 👌
everytime without fail!
When that bassline kicks in my hair falls out
i love all his equipments and the way he uses them
Amazing to finally see how he did it! Still one of the best house tracks!
could you give me some songs like that one please ? ^^ i just love it so much

This interview is a forever classic .. great tips from a French house legend
the best SP video in existance.
I love how the techniques of French house from the 90s are exactly the same as boom bap from the era. Same tools as well.
How limitation & simplicity create beauty, no other worlds
I wish he would've played that funky ass bassline
90's gear in da house
THE TRACK OF MY 20TH !! RUNNINGGGGG just Love IT ! Bravo Alan :)
Pitch up and then pitch down! Wow. That's the secret of the sound. One mystery less in this world.
I still love to jam to his remix of Annie's "Heartbeat". The original is one of the best pop songs of the 21st century and his remix does a great job turning it into a thumper.
wow I had no idea he remixed that. Thanks! have incidentally been thinking of that track lately too…
@@mattsullivan8996 His remix is great; the original I think is one of the greatest "Pop" songs ever made. Those Swedes really know how to make amazingly catchy tunes.
No fillers, no uplifter/downlifters, very limited technical possibilities yet such a vibrant and dynamic anthem. GGs
Simplicity is true genius
Who sampled: The Jets - Crush on You (Extended Version) 1985. It was a famous song.
The jet sample loop sounds as if it was passed through the asr 10. This phaser sound is a classic in this machine.
Either that or he has the DP/4. Likely the same preset in both. It's called Key Funk Flange in the DP/4.
@@alexandermoden Probably the DP/4. Same one Daft Punk had, and most of the french house goons too. Suuuuper happy with Phaser-DDL, plus I got a number-accurate remake of the patch on there too.
@@alexandermoden addendum: nevermind! braxe literally mentions the asr10 by name lmfao
@@starphaserdisco Phaser-DDL is great. I have a DP/4 which I still gets use but the convenience is hard to beat, especially when I'm using other settings on DP/4 in tandem. I'm curious, what adjustments are required to accurately match the patch? It sounds close to my ears right out of the gate.
@@alexandermoden The Key Funk Phase preset's parameters were sent to me via a Gearspace user. The precise settings are:
Mix=99 Volume=99
Phaser LFO Rate=32 Width=62
Phaser Center=16
Phaser Feedback=79
Phaser Notch Depth=99
Left/Right LFO=In-Phase
Phaser Sample & Hold Rate=Off
Phaser Left DelayTime=738ms
Phaser Right DelayTime=369ms
Phaser Delay Feedback=14
Man I miss this sound
Fred falkes track with Alan braxe called intro is really good.
( Thumbs up if you agree). # realhouse
Ahhhhhh the glorious days behind me!...
This song means so much to me. He’s a fucking genius!
EXACTLY! I LOVE your comment. Im STILL working on my 1988 MPC 60 and 1994 MPC 3000.
Alan you cheeky git! He doesnt "have" the bass sample anymore because he knows we would all sample it ;-P
I respect this artist , I personally never heard of him until now , and now I'm gonna do more research on his music , because I use my sp-1200 every day now , and people have been offering to buy it from me , which I would not sell .. The funny thing now , is thier really trying to emulate this machine !!
Are you kidding me SP-1200's are one of the most renown sampler/sequencers around, they defiantly cost more than the highest end drum machines. It's talent that pays.
So inspiring !!!!!
The 3630 is so good. People tend to focus on things that are "perfect", clean, and easy to use. Look at the Juno synths, they're very basic, it's hard to do wrong with them or get a bad sound, and people go fucking nuts for them. I don't like Juno's because of that, there's no grit, it's all to samey, it lacks character and it's boring. That's why I like the 3630, it's a pice of shit, any other compressor is better at compressing than it, but you got to look outside of the box, don't use it like you would any other compressor, treat it as it's own unique thing. Embrase it's flaws, make the bad qualities about it work to your advantage, use it's uniqueness to bring something different. Take that logic and apply it to whatever you want, it make everything more fun
is he using the sidechain routing on this video ?
Love these type of videos. You always learn something new, thank you for this. =)
Great interview! Such a nice guy
but most important, a passion for music! ;)
Great insight FM... Tune is a killer!
😢 nostalgia maxima ❤.
Does anyone know where's the drum sample comes from? He mentioned (4:35) it was sampled from a 12", it sounds like a linndrum kick+cowbell and clap, probably a '80s song
very interesting
Iconic stuff
love it ! love this man
Masterpiece
Amazing track 👌🏽
THE track !
Best french music creator
Seems like a real nice guy. Enjoyed watching that...sp1200 house wooo!
High end price, high end lo fidelity. No Akai sampler ive used can match it. 3630 however is the defacto compressor for this style. i got 2 of em!
No wait, it is full of people that say the Alesis 3630 is crap, they ever heard this song? Must buy one on these comp tomorrow ahah :D
People don't like the 3630 because it doesn't sound "transparent", that is you can very clearly hear when it is compressing the track. But that is exactly why it is used on a track like this! For the PUMP!
Back again, thanks for the upload!
Such a cool and friendly guy! Its a shame hyped kids like avicii, martin garix and other edm clowns got more clicks on "their" Videos of tracks "they" have produced.
its a shame u cant see how those types of artist are always guilty of inflating their own views
it's a shame you missed the main point of the first comment. I like this game :D
It's a shame I can't see anything at all, it sucks.
Avicii was god! So many music in different types!
@@achourstar1 he has nothing on this.
cool guy
rather: legend!
HERO! Merci Alan
Can you please put the whole sesh up!
Should be on the future music dvd that came with the issue but I can't find any on ebay and they don't sell this issue digitally
Dear Mr Braxe. Do you mind me sending FM over for a new studio video and talks about your new EP? 😜
The Jets - Crush On You
I was wondering how did you manage to sample the stereo track from the 12 inch to SP1200’s mono input ? Did you recorded only right or left channel as for drums breaks ?
The best song ever made 😂
love it
Sp 1200 legend
Great vid!! :)
Sp1200 can do things only the MPC can dream of. I own both and know both very well. 2 totally different beasts.
Braxe keep's it Real, Tapco's I rock those 2 LOL 2 xS5's and 1 xSW10
Legend.
yall are getting high end and hi-fi mixed up. If its 12 bit, thats actually a lower bit depth than say a CD. there might be high end analog processors or whatever but by todays standard, 12 bit is not hi-fi. The quality of the product as a whole may be high end but a 12 bit processor is not hi-fi
its going through a desk after
Hubiera sido genial que hubiera hecho algo desde cero..es muy bueno ese tema que mostro...por ultimo como grabo el bajo...bass
Who played the bass so? Where did that come from?
Fred Falke played it.
Icon
thats really old news hiphop producers was doin just that in the early 90s with the SP1200 and in house music with todd terry nd kenny dope..
Who did he sample it from?
The Jets “Crush on you”
The legeneeeeennd :
3:24 Magic happens
cool!
Genius
"Aaaahm"
FM, please play music from the interviewee in the begging so I dont have to google them all the time.
I don't know anything about music production and struggled with his accent a bit. Can someone explain what benefit he got from sampling at high speed then slowing it back down afterwards?
The Emu SP-1200 only has a 10 second maximum sample time. So by sampling at a higher speed and pitching it down, you save memory for more samples. The side-effect of this is the "crunchy" clock noise that this produces in the samples that is part of what makes the Emu SP-1200 so special.
does anyone know if it's the sidechain input on the alesis that's doing that or he's simply got so much compression going that the whole track is doing it anyway? Sounds like the second actually as the kick gets compressed as hell
The SP is kinda wavy man.
Alan Braxe 🤝 Wu Tang Clan
SP-1200
Where did he get the white drum knobs? one on my sp is broken..
i've never really seen one before. let alone have a play with one. age of computers and what not.
Wow.
He didn't 'lose' the bassline, he doesn't own it, it belongs to Fred Falke.
12bit is not high end, but crunchy^^
@TWMusicBerlin - an SP1200 is a timeless piece of analogue gear, take ya fat trax back ta tage
The sp-1200 is high end equipment; go see how much they are worth now!
Does anyone know what song he sampled?
+Matt Picarelli The Jets - Crush on You
+Chandler J Thanks so much!
i am sure when he purchased it it was "high end" proof that the expensive kit lasts the longest ;)
Anyone know the "ahh ahhh ahhh" sample at 1:30? -- 2 many djs - funkacise - motocross madness french kiss
No, this is sampled from « Crush on you » by The Jets
i can reproduce this with a roland sampler too, and they are very cheap now..
i saw an s5000 go for 200 quid recently!
who watching in 2022
I heard it for the first time in years 2 nights ago.. I forgot how much I loved this tune.
Does anyone know on 'Intro' if it's Fred Falke playing the bass guitar?
Yes
