Logic Pro Audio And Hardfloor's Approach To Production: Part Two
Hardfloor sit down for the first installment of our interview with them and talk shop. Oliver and Ramon go through the nuts and bolts of how they create their sounds and then import them into their Mac G5.
Using Logic as a recording solution, they import their 303s, vintage analog synths, and other hardware. Their approach is to start with creating sounds and beats on the analog hardware, and then importing it into Logic.
Always somewhere between the old school and the new, Hardfloor has found a successful way to maintain their signature sound while keeping up with technology.

BILL HOLLAND: Welcome back to Gearwire.Com. I'm Bill Holland, and we are live in Detroit at Movement 2007, and I'm here with Hardfloor, and thanks for coming over.
RAMON ZENKER: We appreciate it [INDISCERNIBLE].
OLIVER BONDZIO: Thanks for having us, man.
BILL HOLLAND: Thank you. Were going to talk about the type of gear you use in production. What do you use in the studio when you produce an album or a bunch of tracks.
OLIVER BONDZIO: Oh we have a huge studio, a huge collection of analog synthesizers, we have a lot of plugins, and if we have to let yo know the exact equipment, it's better to talk to him.
RAMON ZENKER: Yeah. It's we use Logic on an Apple G5 and the stuff, and our main instrument is the TB-303. We use a lot of 303's, especially the last album, the next album, which will come in September, around September. We use a lot of times three 303's at the same time with different lines.

RAMON ZENKER: Yeah we use analog synthesizer. We go --
OLIVER BONDZIO: [INAUDIBLE]
RAMON ZENKER: No, we go over and use -- last year, it goes more and more into the computer. We use more effect plugins. We use a lot of effect plugins for this next album so that's different to the production in the years before and --
BILL HOLLAND: Are you recording a lot of the 303's? Do you record the WAV files from those into Logic and then add the plugin sequence onto that?
RAMON ZENKER: No. Not often. We did this but most of the times, we play them live. We let them live roll and tweak them live while we record the final track, so this is most of the things we're doing.
