Members rovito Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 Need sounds for a Heart tribute band. Old and new stuff. Any resources to find out what boards/sounds they used on any given song? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJ RAZZ Posted July 24, 2011 Members Share Posted July 24, 2011 Try google but I know 80's stuff had a lot of DX stuff and maybe some oberheim and Roland pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundwave106 Posted July 24, 2011 Members Share Posted July 24, 2011 Try google but I know 80's stuff had a lot of DX stuff and maybe some oberheim and Roland pads 80s Heart is "big production" 80s. So you get some DX7 (hear the atypical DX7 EP on "Never!") with poly analog saw pads. "These Dreams" also sounds like DX7 leads over a analog poly saw type pad (another stereotypical 80s sound, the DX7 "Marimba" patch, appears in this song). Later 80s Heart I'm sure used whatever synth was in trend at the time... "Magic Man" used a Minimoog for the solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McHale Posted July 24, 2011 Members Share Posted July 24, 2011 ANOTHER huge vote for DX7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rovito Posted July 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm not really having a problem copping the sounds with the gear I have. I guess I'm more interested in knowing if there may be a sight where people might list gear used on certain projects. When I have my audition I would love to be able to show them I have done my homework and maybe confirm some of the sounds I have chosen. It has been made clear they are looking for authenticity. Seems the last guy was having problems getting the right sounds. Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted July 24, 2011 Members Share Posted July 24, 2011 These days Debbie Shair covers everything live with a pair of Kurzweils and a Minimoog Voyager. They don't perform most of the 80's stuff, and so don't use a lot of the DX sounds any more. Rumor has it that she also owns a Receptor, but I have no idea what is running offstage.

Members Crazyfoo Posted July 24, 2011 Members Share Posted July 24, 2011 When I was on the road in the late 80's, we played an entire set of heart.I covered it well with a Roland JX-8p, Roland Sh-5, an Oberheim OB-Xa and an Ensoniq ESQ-1. One of the voice were stacked on the OB, it had the light bell sound stacked with the warm synthy string sound (think of These Dreams) the string sounds on their own came from the JX-8p (the bendy strings) and these can still be found today for quite cheap.Most time depending on the song, 2 of the 3 keyboards were always midied. I also think like others said, the DX7 will give you that metallicy tubular bell sound yu will need to mix with warm strings (think of nothing at all) Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Franz Schiller Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 While I love the crap out of Kurzweils, THIS IS A TERRIBLE VIDEO. 90% of it is the opening logo, closing logo, useless beauty shots, and garbage. Debbie basically says, "Yes I has a Kurzweil." And that's it. No content. No discussion. No talking about how she uses her rig. Just a {censored}ty hand held phone video. I feel cheated. Please, if you're going to take the time to discuss a topic....then f-ing talk about that topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pigger Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 I thought they used some ARP gear in the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rovito Posted July 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks for all of the replies. This has been a super fun project and seems to be coming along pretty well. I don't have the best gear but am making it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJP Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 In terms of sheer practicality, if I were to get a Heart tribute gig today, I'd go XP-30, Juno-106 and Little Phatty Stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rovito Posted July 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 27, 2011 So far "Magic Man" is the only real problem sound. I have a Roland Fantom X6, Korg Microx and an Alesis Micron. Some sound close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted July 27, 2011 Members Share Posted July 27, 2011 Magic Man is Minimoog all the way. Actually, two minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
