    how do you uncompress a file???

    Wave files are sound files in PC format, while AIFF files are sound files for the MAC. I assume you are using a MAC because Peak only works on a MAC, so the WAV file you have probally wont play on your MAC. You need to convert that WAV file into AIFF format on a PC audio editor then you should...

    Tips for Submitting a Good Demo

    All my friends in the music biz say they just throw away any CD thats not in a standard case, so make sure you don't put your demo in one of those slim line cases!

    Selling your Beats

    I would start by just hooking up tight local emcee's with free beats for a while to get your name out, thats what I did for a couple of years. At some point you should be able to tell that its time to start charging, usually because cats will just expect it when they hear your beats, if they are...

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

    I had 2 computer screens hooked up for a while until my friend had to use the extra one again. It was amazing how much more stuff I could do at one time! If someone can afford it, I would highly suggest getting two screens, its also really impressive to your clients to see a dual screen setup in...

    How illegal is this?

    Technically its illegal to use any copyrighted material with out the artisits concent, even if you don't sell it! But DJ's use acapella's on different beats on there mixtapes all the time, so as long as you don't make a ton of scrilla off of it I wouldn't trip.

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

    I'm just trying to help man, no need to take it personal! It seems like some people are giving bad advice and I just wanted to clear things up. And who are you to critize my name, its just a name. I'm not saying my beats are perfect, but I do have alot of experience and a degree in audio...

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

    Thats very true L-Rock. After you mix down your beats to a stereo master you should put it on CD or tape and play it in as many stereo systems as you can. And everyone's mixing up computer screens with studio monitors(speakers). In profesional music production speakers are called monitors to...

    Audio Output Question

    Ya, I guess your right about surround, but I thought we were talking about 5.1 surround sound, not just speakers surrounding you. But either way, you should mix with only 2 speakers at a time.

    Audio Output Question

    6 speakers hooked up to a stereo amp(stereo means 2 channels of audio), isn't surround sound! Surround sound means 6 seperate channels of audio seperated for a video picture. The subwoofer handles the base, the center speaker handles mostly speach, and the last 4 handle 3d sound effects. But...

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

    Man, I don't understand what some of you guys are writing. Never ever, ever use just one single speaker to monitor your music! Music is in stereo so you need two speakers to mix your beats down. Also, don't use more than two speakers because unless your tracks are ending up on DVD, they'll be in...

    I want to produce but don't know where to start??

    All I can say is find a mentor. Try to meet and kick it with a seasoned producer and watch how he makes beats. I don't mean to copy exactly what he does, but learn the technical aspects of making beats by watching him work. And ask ALOT of questions, most producers love helping new cats learn...

    need help with my cd burner...

    More and more CD's are being put out with CD protection, meaning that you can't rip the CD into your computer or copy from CD to CD! Thats totally illegal but no one's saying anything. DVD's cant even be copied to video tape,try it, it dosen't work! Recently a country in Europe's(I can't...

    Recording

    I would guess your problem is that your input on your soundcard is stereo and the output from your mic pre is mono. If the mic and preamp are mono, but the input to your soundcard is stereo, you would have a problem like yours. I would suggest using a mixer with stereo outputs to go to your...

    Audio Output Question

    Right now music only comes in stereo on a cd. A cd cannot produce 6 seperate channels of audio so surround sound mixing is pointless! You should just use two, studio level monitors hooked up to a amp or self-powered. Also, the cd to tapeplayer adapter method to monitor is a very, very, very big...
