Describe the making of “The Soul Of My Love”
Oh very old memories…! I produced this record with a french artist called Crusz, for a label called “20000 ST”. They just had this hit with Demon, “You’re My High”. We recorded the vocal in Copellia studio in Paris with the singer Mandel Turner (an ex New Yorker from the Paradise Garage), that studio was quite cool as they were producing lots of hiphop records and had good experience in recording vocals. We produced the definitive mix of the record in Crusz studios in the northern Paris suburb (Enghien in the 93 departement). We had quite a huge amount of gear and it was hell to finalize that record, due to all this stuff we had to program around. We had a 32 track mixing desk from Mackie, without any recall possibility and he had a wall of compressors. We used a Macintosh just for Midi sequencing. We didnt had any audio track… even the vocal was totally cutted in the samplers and arranged in the sequencer. And I think we made around 20 final mixes, we couldnt even choose which one was the best in the end, we just took the first one on the digital tape and went to mastering. I still dont know why we took 3 weeks to produce the single, where it could have been only one, but Crusz was a production maniac, and wanted things to be perfect. I learned a lot from him. I was more into “we go fast and release the record”, you know without having the need to think if we would put +1.5 reverb on the snare or +1.8 :-))))) I was used to working like that until “Discopolis.”
