rsandifer Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I hear this on many ballads from the late 80's early 90's and thought I would share. Sounds great on electronic hand claps from that era. .......... The effect is a crisp clap with nice solid attack and gated reverb. After the initial clap you hear a delayed clap with almost no attack and very narrow bandwidth. This has started to become one of our most requested effects on slower rap and R&B production. Funny how it all travels in one big circle 01.26.09 I added both the Channel Strip version and the Instrument version 80sRNBClaps.zip 80sRNBClap_channelstrip.zip Edited January 26, 2009 by rsandifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaLouga Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Have not had a chance to use this yet, but let me be the first to say thanks. Are these the claps that were used by just about every group from that era e.g Human League, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Duran Duran etc ? Speaking of Frankie goes to Hollywood any one know how to get that great bass sound from 'Relax', got to love that sound T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsandifer Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Actually they were used from time to time. This is just the eq, delay and reverb. I use the old DMX claps as well as the 808....both sound great and it is pretty cool effect. I remember me and another engineer spending the better part of a day back in 89 trying to figure out how this was produced...LOL We beat my MPC60 to death.

michael2 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Still learn but what inst. is it for so I know what folder to place it in? not sure about the instrument .pst, but with the .cst I just dumped it in the channel strips/track folder, and loaded up a clap sound I had in EXS. the channel strip setting was for the effects, not the actual clap sound. very nice channel strip BTW. thanks a bunch.

Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's a channel strip setting for recorded/sampled handclaps, not samples of handclaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
