Bjork's "it's In Our Hands", Some questions about software used Options

[chasblackman]

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me the type of software most likely used on Bjork's "It's in Our Hands" song? I'm curious to know what software she's been using since Vespertine for beats.

I'm getting into this just recently and can't decide which programs to start with. I have an MPC 2000XL but am looking to get more computer-based.

So, what does Bjork (and crew) use to make beats and tracks?

Thanks so much to anyone who replies. I'm having a hard time looking this stuff up online.

Cheers,
Chas Blackman

Bjork's Vespertine was done on Logic and ProTools (on Macintosh, of course.)

The beats were mainly produced by Matmos - they're using all kinds of old gear, like the 12-bit Roland W-30 sampler (the same sampler Liam Howlett of The Prodigy has used a LOT) and Emulator e6400.

They go out recording whatever weird sounds and then edit the noises into instruments. I don't know if they still do it, but they used to use Macromedia SoundEdit 16 a lot for editing.

(Matmos use DP as a seq on their own projects + MOTU 2408, Roland SH-101, Korg Mono/Poly and some mics for recording + the above mentioned samplers, they master on DAT and then use a outside mastering studio for finishing up.)

But I don't think you can create their sound by duplicating their equipment. Their entire production philosophy is not least bit about gear, it's just about music.
