Stock Aitken Waterman Sound, The Jason Donovan HITS, How did they do it!
YouTube via karelpostthuis | August 26, 2010
"As a sound engineer i'm always curious how records, and "sound-logo's" are built.
Anyone can make synth POP, but a HIT sound is made by specialists who know their stuff.
In a free afternoon i got into my studio to find out.. HOW the SAW / PWL sound of the late '80-s was made...
I used stuff they also had, like the Jupiter 8, the D50, a bunch of Juno's and the best Drum Machines ever, the Linndrum, DMX, TR808 and so on...
The basis is a kicksound like a Linn, but longer, to get the dancefloor "banging" sound and the sound of a couple of DX bass sounds stacked to sound powerful and with lots of punch.
I skipped the Emulator 2 strings, but i'm sure that's what they used in the earlier work next to the Fairlight.
I'm a fan of quality men like the whole team of SAW, Pete, Mike Matt are the forefront but the tape-op's and Tim Harding, Ian Curnow and all the guys that programmed the sounds and worked the desk are equally great."
