@@awesomekid8922 They used MPC (60 i think) Emu SP 1200 and ASR 10, among others depending on the sound they were after. It's all available info from a rare interview they did just after their second album. They mention most of their studio setup. The mixer isn't quite accurate though; They used a Mackie CR 1604 (pre VLZ is better for clipping) and a 1202 (again the 1st gen pre-VLZ model) after the 1st gen they didn't sound as good. You can find the older model Mackie's on ebay though.
@@Adam0Null stop Stanning, and start make your own music. Half of you who cant stop talking about Daft Punk aren’t even into house music. They didn’t invent this. Realize that Daft Punk are the progeny of French disco royalty. Look into the roots of Chicago.
The best story is when they were just kids playing some small gig , think it was guy-man but who knows back then… but he used a TRS cable and bumped a input making that buzz click sound . But he went with it and played the input with the cable as if it was an instrument. It’s now basically a myth like the birth of Apollo or Gilgamesh at Uruk .
Gotta say watching ppl remake Homework songs is one of my fave past times. Specifically with equipment rather than computer entirely. Gives a whole new understanding of how Thomas and Guy did all this in Thomas' bedroom in the 90s. Also where does the guitar riff come from played in the original "Fresh" song.
Thanks... I don't think anyone really knows for sure how they made the sound but I'd be willing to bet it was created by them and not sampled. But that's just me.
Absolutely nailed it! The Phaser is a very important part of the sound and no other phaser can reproduce the sound of the DP/4 phaser preset. Excellent job!
6 Years later and still coming back to this video every once in a while, it's so satisfying, I picture Thomas & Guy Man in their Student Bedroom creating this legendary song. RECREATION AT IT'S FINEST, From the gears (mackie mixer, Akai sampler, Ensoniq DP4, Alesis 3630...)I just miss the Juno 106 guitar sound for it to be perfect. But amazing work man !
I'm thinking about getting a DP/2 since I don't have a good enough budget for a DP/4. You think Ensoniq copies over the effects from each DP effects processor series? I've read up on forums that they do, but I wanna know for sure that they do, Since I really love that phaser sound with the digital delay. _Update: Jan 7th 2022, I now own a DP/4 for almost 2 years now, and I love it!_
When you see the remake you feel that it’s easy but making it I bet it was not that easy for the daft punk, detecting a sample loop is always not easy but fun at the same time !
Fantastic video, and a pleasure to watch. Can I ask what exactly you did at 0:43? As I understood, you want to leave the low end as is and only apply phaser to midrange and above. I'm trying to achieve the same in ableton using EQs and filters. E.g. 1 high pass filter to give me my mids+highs and 1 low pass filter to give me my low end, both at 200Hz with a 12dB crossover. But together they are either boosting my gain by a lot or else removing frequencies and weakening the sound, depending on the slope (6dB. 12dB, 24dB etc). Any recommendations/best practices for splitting lows and mids+highs as you show in the vid? Thank you!
Correct, you don't wanna be running your low end into stereo FX. It will make things muddy real quick. So yes, I split the sample into two channels, one for 200 hz and the other for above just like you said. And then I almost always lower the mid frequencies somewhere on the spectrum since this is the only adjustable band on my mackie mixer. Where exactly that is will depend on the sample and where I cutoff the low end at. I remember back in the day trying to get that same sound in Ableton as well but I always found it very difficult to emulate. The Mackie being so limited kinda simplifies things in an awesome way. But my suggestion to you would be maybe try dropping the mid frequencies somewhere where it might sorta camouflage that boost you are running into. Hope that helps.
@@bradh6935 Thanks ever so much for the tips! Since the time I posted my original comment I've also learnt about linear phase EQs, which allows separation of low and high frequencies without the 2 bands phase cancelling each other. However, linear phase does come with the caveat of "pre-ringing" which can affect transients and punchiness. I will also bear in mind to play around with the crossover frequency. All in all, as you say, it is experimentation and seeing what works best for the sample in question :)
Noob question. I want to get a setup like this to remake and create house music. Is he running any of this into a DAW? Or is it all coming from the MPC? If I was to get a mpc and a mixer, how would I use it with the daw connection wise?
House music is a lot about bass and high end to be quite honest. I found my mixes would sound a lot more like that classic house sound once i got rid of certain mid frequencies but you gotta dial it in based on the sample being used. And i split the sample into two tracks, bass and high end. The bass i do not mess with only to tune to work with the kicl drum but the high end i can put effects on or add filters and get creative
I own a 3630 myself and I am quite sure you do not need the sidechain input, just put the compressor on your master and it will do the pumping for you with the right settings.
Not really. I have messed around with the phaser in Ableton but the DP/4's kinda got its own unique sound. I know that the preset (#36) is using its phaser with a digital delay afterwards.

its so crazy how they took the smallest piece of a song I've heard a 100 times and flipped it into the banger Fresh is wowwww
I 100% agree with that statement.
They really got that special ear. They reached their peak in the next album Discovery furthermore expanding the (micro) sampling art
Amazing that people did this without modern DAW softwares
this is one of the best daft punk tutorials, it actually sounds like them
That compression really locks the kick and bass together so perfectly, no sidechain required!

You had to add the sample of the "sea wash" of the bbc

Great update man. I'm obsessed by the DP4 iconic phaser.
@@VisualDrone12 I managed to score a DP/4+, so now I have 2 of them.
mad respect, would love to see more of this

Legend lives forever
tribute to the legendary duo daft punk !
amazing recreation
I like the way you added more drums than the original. Was this uploaded on soundcloud or something?
I would like to have it too !
wooow I wasn't expecting the DP4 and the 3630. Amazing.

If you trim the part in the sample where the vocals are humming in the end it will be perfect.
daft punk did not remove the hum. you can clearly hear that hum
Cool 😎 Surfed up by Daft Punk
Bro you recreated it perfectly
The 909 OH make it way better! Please can you upload your remake? I would love to play it..
I can try. Gotta dig thru my comp to find the old file.
@@bradh6935 That would be fantastic
They also sampled this on teachers
Am I the only one who thinks when the song fades out, it sounds amazing? 1:07
It’s the reverb, you can also hear it at some point in Too Long or even Thomas’ Spinal Scratch
Great job my pal!
Do Aerodynamic next! Pls boss!
This is amazing 🔥
Just stumbled across this video. Awesome
I'd say fresh is my favourite sample
Fantastico, complimenti!
@ Brad, How are you running your apogee ad 16 here ? Thanks 😊
Damn, always wanted to know what was sampled. Thanks
Actually there is no 4 909 oh in a mesure in the original one im not even sure they added an OH but your version is very freakin good
And the guitar solo ?🤔
David Lopez It’s probably a synth made by daft punk
Is this Brad from Isla?
Ufffff man i love it. Haha you’re crazy

Because the orginal hadn’t either...
Quite fresh indeed 🔫
Amazing BUT you missed the waves
yes and the guitar
@@titou347 that was Juno, not a guitar
Haha I didn't play guitar at the time, but I do now!
Hi Brad, do you think this is doable just using the Ableton Push ?
amazing

Very niiiice. excellent remake. by the way did use sidechain or you just over compressed the whole mix ? (by using the alesis 3630)
jay2392 i would also like to know
I own a 3630 myself and I am quite sure you do not need the sidechain input, just put the compressor on your master and it will do the pumping for you with the right settings.
No sidechain my friend... just a cranked kick drum
perfect

Coool!!
nice
You should do a remake on Abelton Live 9!
yuck
Would sound much cooler with a sidechain added to the sample
is there a way to reproduce that phaser effect in ableton live?
Not really. I have messed around with the phaser in Ableton but the DP/4's kinda got its own unique sound. I know that the preset (#36) is using its phaser with a digital delay afterwards.
Hey, this is N O R I A, u can do it, I did it in Live when i found the sample
