    so i found out i used the same sample as...

    I think the Diddy version is way more banging. Its always been one of my fav beats. However yours wasnt too bad. I think yours woulda been sick if you had alot more experience. I bet if somebody like Pete Rock or some shit chopped up that sample it'd be a fuckin sick beat. So it's really all in...

    Edirol Orchestra

    The MIDI out channels Pan/Volume will control the pan and volume settings on Orchestral for the selected channel. All other tweaks under the edit button on Orchestral can also be controlled by assigning the corresponding CC# to knobs on the MIDI out channels panel of assignable knobs.

    Open FL Studio and then load up Orchestral. Next load up a MIDI out channel. Change the PORT settings on each to match, for my example this is "1". Next select a channel on the MIDI out. Since this is the first intrsument I am assigning I will use "1". Now on the first bank of Orchestral...

    the official Illmuzik "Sending Beats To Artists" thread

    What I do is send them an MP3. Then they send me multi tracked vocals. I get everything done up multitrack in either Pro Tools or Adobe Audtion, whichever they prefer.

    Getting The Best Out Of An Sm58

    Yea, a common trick to to record shit off axis. Put the mic at the right distance, because if you get too close to it you'll increase the risk of popping and the level will change noticeably every time the singer moves slightly. Cardioid mics also exhibit a bass-boost 'proximity effect' that...

    Getting The Best Out Of An Sm58

    The SM58 is designed for vocals. Mic placement and technique will make all the difference. As well as the room you are recording in. Recording vocals is an art in itself. Just read up on some stuff and practice your technique. Whether your using a preamp or not is going to make a difference...

    Your favorite software to make beats?

    I personally use FLStudio because I can do everything I need in the box. It supports all major sound formats (WAV, REX, AU, SF2 etc), DX and VST plug in support. Easy to use interface. I can bang out patterns in seconds compared to doing so in Sonar, Cubase, etc. The latter have much better MIDI...
