Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Oh the CD release, I had that along the DVD but I remember the quality was disappointingly bad. It was funny though, the Red Leppelin Flanger drum was playing through the 1st solo instead of the one that normally plays during the concert!

Edit: it is in 5.1, I just didn't extracted it properly ...

Nope, not aware of an 5.1 version of shipyard opening. I just used my ears
There's a very high chance I've missed some stuff or hallucinated some notes in the remake... It's all very compressed and quiet. I've check both TV Broadcast and DVD version, TV is cleaner though

Which strings? The synth tracks from the original revolution, or the shipyard orchestral cover?

The original synth string were from Roland, form what I've read.

And for the shipyard cover I'm pretty sure they were made using real instruments, dubbed in an actual studio: https://youtu.be/HKUv ...

On your track what is the name/source of the "perc loop" occuring during the Nirvana drone ? You have something named ENERGIZER but it seems different from the ENERGIZER I found on DR1. Can you help me on this perc loop ?


That was a sort of bruteforce thing, thiking every sample would be on DR1 ...

Nope, it is this one:

drumloop.mp3


Tried to isolate/recreate some of the elements:
PerfectDrumRim.mp3
PerfectDrumSnare.mp3
PerfectDrumRimClock.mp3


The rim sound is also in Intro Saturée:
IntroDrum.mp3


But yes I suppose the naming was quite confusing because the D50 is a clock as ...

New finding! The slide sound at the beginning is from EastWest > Stormdrum 1 > Multisamples > Metal Shop 2


slide crash edit.mp3


Slide is F3, the Crash is (hypothetically) made out of D3 + C#1 but of course doesn't contain that low boom effect.

Also while I haven't gone trough every sound ...

After 3 years of active searching (but probably more as well but not that actively), I can finally found the samples! I couldn't believe my ears, eyes, but alas, I have my hands on them! :shock: :o :D

Well, not all of the loops unfortunately, but a good 60%, all from the same pack's sub-folder ...

Well, still haven't completely given up the search on the missing samples, here is a remake of the strings, with Kontakt's strings instrument. Although to be honest you're able to create similarly good results with Logic's built-in strings!

It's really hard to make the notes out, but here is the ...

How unlikely! https://www.vanacoremusiclibraries.com/track/1653903

I finally managed to find the Inkmaster's video soundtrack! Check out the "Bravado (PercBs)" version, it contains clearest version of the drum loop. I'm sure it's still multiple of them layered. I will try to look up the composer's ...

Eyy status update:

Been a while, unfortunately I haven't found any new leads. I went around and asked more pro old school musicians but they didn't recognize any of the drums. Searched the whole net around Jarre and drums, Samard, and asked several sound library companies if they recognized it ...

Thanks a lot mate! Let me know if you find anything interesting!

I think we have to look into RMX library. This vst has been released in 2004 and contains many loops. Moreover it is Éric Persing behind this vst so....


You mean the Stylus RMX?

I've been contacting tons of drum library creators for the past few days, so far nothing really. BUT some new info ...

What are the odds?? :O

I was looking at the most random video on Youtube, I found exactly that air hiss sound that we were talking about! (The one we couldn't find in DR). Wow!

(Timestamped)

I'm not sure this helps a ton, but at least this confirms that indeed ...

Hey! This sounds like a cool plan!
The only thing I can contribute with is the Nirvana Drone sample from DR1, in a sampler: Btw question, anyone knows if JMJ could have also used Zero-G packs?

It's a big investigation! Can you give the name of the sample from Distorted Reality 2, I have browser a little but there are many many samples in this library... thank you for your help !


It is! :)

So for the DR1 pack, for the drone sound at the start it's called Nervana (or Nirvana), I put ...
