Members Bookumdano2 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Don't need to retell the story since we all know it, but this examination of the multitracks has some cool new insights on making "I'm Not In Love"... The isolations of various sections are cool... check out Cathy the secretary voice and the music box towards the end (that windup music box is just about the coolest thing ever)...... and the alternate lyrics that were zapped out to just a single set of piano notes ... If I ever get more time in a day, I may set up the same type of ahhs loops on a daw so that I can play the single notes into chords with automation on the console for this same effect. I don't think you can really do it as well with a sampler and faders... but the 10cc effect is one I'd like to "overuse" on some of my own stuff. By the way... I dunno if this clip has been posted before. Probably has. The 10cc song comes up in some sort of conversation every six months or so anyway.

Members rasputin1963 Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wild... fascinating.... to think they did this all "manually". I never realized that the overall backup was essentially one chord. Funny how all these tricks presage digital sampling.... experiments like this almost "will" digitalization into existence. This said, AM and FM radio played the living {censored} outta this song back in 1975... and I really got tired of it (at the time). The SPINAL TAP movies satirize English rockstars who have outlandish, seemingly self-indulgent creative ideas... But "I'm Not In Love" is an example where this adventurousness yielded fruit.

Members Jon Gnash Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 I think David Hentschel used a similar technique on Wind & Wuthering . c9RWYq-YuKo ^^ Listen to the middle section beginning at 4:00. Specifically where the voices come in at about 4:49. ^^ H-x-hbeIfEo ^^ Listen to the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 I've read about the process before -- and it's fascinating -- but it's really nice to see and hear it dissected and remembered in this vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A. Einstein Posted December 31, 2011 Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 Of course, all of us here know how the 10cc song was built- never heard that song before - but here's more for study forget it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A. Einstein Posted December 31, 2011 Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think all those 10cc Aaahs & Ooohs are a rip of this sax section, only the bongos are missing in the 10cc ripoff [video=youtube;rnUZW1fcE44] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members russrags Posted December 31, 2011 Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 Cool Stuff.Here's another 10cc instructional video that popped up while I was watching, that I think adds to this thread very nicely. Thanks for the Genesis stuff Jon, I'm a huge fan. [video=youtube;ohKfQDicQnw] RussNashville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bookumdano2 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 I remember that when the song came out, I initially thought it was a chord ripoff of Ace's "How Long" which had been so HUGE earilier in the summer. But the vocal thing was so interesting and back then, there was NO information on how the song was built. I don't think R-E-P magazine even covered the how-to back then. I also really like the sections of the multitracks where the bass guitar does a fast slide and choke on several notes. Just a hint of bass added here and there. Sonics also show interesting things to me.... the "oooh, you'll wait a long time for me.." isolations seem to really kick in the compressor. Not subtle either. The tracks have a sort of lo-fi sonic landscape that are completely opposite of the way many track now. And these were tracked on state of the art stuff then .... the stuff everyone drools over now.

Members Hard Truth Posted January 3, 2012 Members Share Posted January 3, 2012 If you like 10cc be sure you don't miss the early albums by Godley & Creme (half of the original band), esp. "L" & "Freeze Frame." Among my all-time favorite records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rasputin1963 Posted January 3, 2012 Members Share Posted January 3, 2012 I saw this movie for the first time last year. I thought it would be real sexy... but it was very much like an American teen Technicolor melodrama of the 50's, like A SUMMER PLACE or GIDGET.
