Yousef chats to ilikemusic.com
ilm: Of all the tracks on the album which one did you have the most fun producing?
Yousef: Erhm ... I dont really know? Probably the most supprising track was the Gene Farris one, because I know Gene for making loopy Chicago based gritty ghetto tracks really, which is cool. And I can make similar sounds or something a bit more heavily produced, but we went in, and for no real reason we made like an acid rock track! [ilm and Yousef laugh] Which was nothing I'd done before and nothing he'd done before, and we made it on a really sparse set up which consisted of a computer and a weighted piano keyboard plus one compressor and a mic, and we came up with 'Da Number 8'.
ilm: What kinda software did you guys use?
Yousef: We used various stuff, but I essentially use CubaseFX. I find it really easy to transfer audio and move audio around, its good fun. You can actually use the audio as more of a sampler really, obviously you can use a sampler to get the drums and the kicks and make them sound rich and fat, but, once you've got your sound out of the sampler and back into CubaseFX, you can manipulate it in so many ways that its a good choice for me.
