i'd say yes. listen to (the big local hit) "Jump To My Beat" by The
Wildchild Experience (that's the one with the Lisa Lisa "can you feel
the beat" sample repeated ad nauseum) - very dancy, very dissonant
(almost industrial!) Great track.
quoted 2 lines but.. a PRESET??!! Dougans & Cobain use PRESETS?!!!>but.. a PRESET??!! Dougans & Cobain use PRESETS?!!!
>arrgh! my opinion of them just took a nosedive! :)
geez, chill out! the birdcall in "papua new guinea" is a hoary old
cliche - it came on an emulator demo disk called "zen garden" and has
shown up everywhere. check out tangerine dream.
the question is not "did they use a preset" but "did they use it
well"? i hear wavestation presets over everything these days. the
wavestation is a really excellent synthesizer and it comes with some
really excellent sounds, so why not use them?
