thisDude Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I saw a commercial for some car (don't remember which one) in which two guys with boom mics are sampling sounds from the car and creating electronic music from it. I didn't get a good look at it, but man, what a cool commercial. Did anyone see what they were using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheether Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 It's a commercial for Nissan and the guys are [b]Ming & FS[/b] . They are using an mpc2000xl, looks like a kurz. and a mac with I don't know what software. They're on OM records and are amazingly talented electronic musicians. Their cd "Hell's Kitchen" is one of my all time favorite discs. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakka Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 That's a great ad. I haven't seen it in a couple of months, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 The Nissan is the new Altima. The Mac software is Pro Tools (go figure). And yeah, I like the ad as well. It's cool to see music production being featured in a consumer-oriented product campaign. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisDude Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 Nissan must have some brilliant marketing people. Between the concept of that commercial and sponsoring free A-List shows around the country (I saw STP for free), they really have their finger on the pulse of what younger people are into. Jeff, I only saw that commercial once during a football game, but are you sure it was Protools they were using? I remember the GUI being really colorfull. Oh well, like it really matters...

If I see the spot again, I'll try and actually look. And yeah, Nissan's marketing is really good right now. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheether Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 When they perform live, they use Final Scratch software b/c they use cd decks, no traditional tables. In the January 02' issue of REMIX magazine, they said they use [b]Digital Performer[/b] in the studio. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
