How To Make - IDM with Kirk Degiorgio / 703

OMG That track is soooo Dope!!! Another winner from Kirk. I’m going to actually have to buy a subscription for this tutorial alone. :slight_smile: This is not to be missed original techno laid out by one of the founding fathers of IDM. My advice buy this piece of history, don’t think twice.

Inspiring, very competent. Highly enjoyable tutorial.

Another fantastic tutorial Mr Degiorgio. Deep techniques always shown in a playful way. Highly inspiring, thanks for sharing all this.

Hi Mr Degiorgio,
I own an Apogee sound card so I don’t have access to the API Channel Strip and the Studer emu plugins from UAD.
Any recommendations for a close alternative ?
EQ plugin with same kind of characteristics ?
Could Softube Tape achieve the same subtle results as the Studer ?
Thanks :slight_smile:

Great plugin suggestions, process, and other tips for adding subtle detail that amount to a great sounding mix in the end. Thanks!

Slate Digital plugins have many channel strip plugins (VMR 2.0, Console stripes etc) very similar to what Kirk was showing. They also do a Studer 827 (tracking) & Studer A80 RC (mixdown) Virtual Tape Machines plugins too.

thx BDrifter!

Hi there! I would place more importance on the techniques/methods rather than the plug-in developer. There maybe a 5-10% difference between “quality” but in general - all of the big players and many of the smaller developers make excellent alternatives to those I use in the tutorials. I would advise to try demos as much as possible simply to see if they fit your workflow and if your CPU can handle them. Good luck and enjoy!

thx Dialman!

thx so much mono_01!

it really is a neat little tool! I think they are coming with a large v.2 soon, so look out for it!

thx Alex!

Thanks for that :slight_smile: I’ll check on their website. They now support iLok Cloud so no more dongle, but it seems to be reserved to the subscription options.

big like ! thanks for this session ! cheers from berlin :slight_smile:

Will do, thx !

MeldaProduction MAutoDynamicEQ is 70% off at pluginboutique until May 1st!

I’m only getting back into DAW music making again, but back in the early 2000’s I used to lean heavily on Sascha Eversmeier’s free plugins (http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem=1). He now works for U-He, but check out his Endorphin mastering compressor plugin which is very nice with lots of control. Obviously only 32 bit, but still sparkles a mix. My personal favourite is still his Dominion Signal Modelling plugin. Perfect for analogue tube/tape modelling.

Cool, thx again :wink:

Hi Mr Kirk, what’s the name of the artist(s) you mentioned during the introduction ?
I love the “Early European Techno” episode from Sound Obsession, is it still possible to listen to it as it now seems unavailable from Red Bull Radio ?
