    compressing with wavelab/sonic foundry

    Mr. Messenger- Actually you don't want to use multiband dynamics.Multiband dynamics is used mostly for mastering a stereo track. It compresses a track at four seperate frequencys. I think you would want to use a stereo compressor. It really depends on why you want to compress a certain sound...

    Normalizing??

    Never record anything above 0dB. If your recording analog, its ok go go above 0dB a little because analog distortion sounds nice. But if your recording digital, or on your computer, then never record levels above 0 dB. And remeber that durring mixing its good to keep your tracks at first a...

    Normalizing??

    Most pro mastering engineers never ever normalize! Mainly because when they started computers weren't used to make music back in the day. Usaully to master a mixed down stereo track one would use a Limiter to boost the overall level of the track. But normalizing can come in handy when making a...

    compressing with wavelab/sonic foundry

    What you're doing Mr. Messenger is changing the length of your track. For compression you want to use DYNAMICS. Sonic Foundry has a few different types of dynamic plug-ins. Even though the time compression/expansion plug-in uses the word compression, it will just change your track by either...

    Help With South Drum Patternz

    I would have to say that dirty south style drums usually are double time beats meaning that the kick and snare take twice as long to play. Like instead of- boom,rest,rest, bap- it would be- boom,rest,rest,rest,bap. And usually the hi-hats are twice as fast with some half step rolls. Its really...

    What is essential for a computer studio on a buget of $650

    Surround sound music isn't that long off, but you can't do surround on a cd, only dvd's. A few years ago the codec(blueprint) for DVD audio was written but a kid in Sweden cracked the code meaning he could burn DVD Audio disks. Because of this they didn't release the DVD audio format and are...

    You guys will hate me at the end of this.

    Why does it always have to be sampling vs. playing it all yourself??? I make some beats with only synths and instuments, but sometimes I find a tight sample and construct a beat off of that. Most of the time I will add stuff I play to a few tight samples, or play something tight on the keyboard...

    MIDI cable question???

    NUG- audio cables shouldn't be much longer than 20 feet in a studio set up, but you can go alot longer if you have to be. It all depends on the width or gauge of the cable. The thicker, the longer. inspecta wu- xlr cable's sound quality starts to degrade after about 50 feet, but their are...

    What else do i gotta Cop???

    I would download a few free programs like cool edit or acid from kaza.com. Then download some plug-ins and soft synths. Soft synths are great, I've pretty much stoped using Reason for synth sounds, but Reason is still a amazing program. Technically this is illegal, but its great for testing out...

    which mpc?

    faint- On the MPC2000 sample time is crucial because the more sample time means the more beats or songs it can hold at one time. Me and my roomate both use his MPC2000 and constently run out of sample time! And we have the full memory upgrade! Usually there's only enough memory for about 3-4...

    How Do I Connect My Mpc2000xl To Computer

    inspectah wu- actually MPC's save audio in their own format called a .snd file, so that file couldn't transfer to a computer. Whats wierd is that an MPC can import .wav files from a PC, but ounce its used in the MPC the MPC saves it in .snd format.

    Sampling

    I think if have the cash I would use computer software with a hardware sampler. But I wouldn't use a MPC, I would use a ASR X. Whatever you can afford because software is basically free, but you didn't hear that from me.

    Sampling drums? HELP!

    I've downloaded hundreds of kick drum sounds that sound tight for free from internet sites. I've also burned about 5 different sample cds from my friends with like 500-800 kick drum hits on each cd. I compiled all of these drum sounds in a folder on my cpu's hard drive. So now when I go to...

    What is essential for a computer studio on a buget of $650

    afriquedeluxe- It's hard enough to even find a used computer powerfull enough for live recording under 650 bucks, so I meant if someone dosen't already have a computer, then I would first get the computer. But if someone has a computer they could spend the cash on speakers(monitors) and, let's...
