Amiga Samplers: Budget dance music in 1990 [video]
I laughed out loud at this moment, which came a few seconds after starting the sample:<p>&quot;Aaaand we&#x27;re out of memory.&quot;<p>Explains why samples tended to be really short .. and also why some artists (or their labels) did make the investment in studio time &amp; the professionals who knew how to take this tech to the next level.<p>I worked in a 24-track studio in London in the early 90s where dance music was recorded, mixed, and remixed by The KLF and Nomad, among others, as well as soundtracks by Hans Zimmer, who owned the studio. There was a small army of people who not only knew the studio hardware (the board, Moog, compressors, gates, etc.) but also Cubase, sequencers, and other software, which was quite expensive but utterly necessary to crank out the hits played on the radio and the remixes that were preferred in the clubs.
