    Ableton Live for recording vocals

    Ableton Live is a musical sequencing instrument, meaning you can take this program and use it amongst a band of musicians or stand alone to do your music production. It's also used by a lot of DJ's to play music in and untraditional but popular electronic way (instead of using turntables)...

    TIPS FOR SOUNDING "BIGGER" ON A BUDGET

    Better gear (if on a budget get better at using the gear you have) better instruments, better producing playing or whatever it is you do. I wouldn't recommend using a compressor to compensate for bad playing, first learn how to get a good recording with what you have. If your productions and...

    Editin a track

    This type of question will not motivate many answers, we need more information. What format is the MPC1000 file in homie that your friend gave you? What type of editing do you need to do? To be honest with you I don't know why your friend didn't edit the pattern/track on the MP. FL Studio is...

    Please help me decide between monitors

    Do it right the first time. According to your current budget those type of monitors to be honest with you, will not really make your mixes that much better seriously. Unless your working on important mixes for P Diddy or something lol I would wait a minute for the extra dough. But do what you...

    Please help me decide between monitors

    You might be better off getting a good pair of headphones and calling it a day lol. The size of your room will make a difference on the type of sound that you get from your monitors. To be honest with you it's just not worth it to try and get some cheap monitors, your better off using whatever...

    Finally Got my Motiff

    I got a Motif too, you can check out MLan so when you get your computer you can send up to 14 tracks simultaneously to your computer with high quality clarity. No analog to digital conversions involved so your not losing any sound quality at all, very good thing to get at some point. But for...

    Reason 3 Is *almost* Here!

    When Reason first came out one of my people had it and it seemed very cool, wow you can turn it around and look at the wiring and reroute it. A huge innovation for electronic music production, It's been a while now since the first Reason came out, I would have expected a lot more than just a few...

    Logic Express or Digital Performer

    You know that Ibook doesn't support FL and Adobe Audition (I'm not absolutely certain) so you'll really only have Reason and whatever else you decide to get. For what you've explained Logic maybe overkill for just sampled based Hip-Hop using VST's to make basslines, melodies, etc. I would check...

    Ableton Live 4

    I've been using Ableton Live for a while now, I first got started on version 3. For audio routing and recording in my opinion nothing beats it. Its just too flexible and it can be used in a live environment not too many audio applications can hang with Ableton on that note. It's also right at...

    Reason 3 Is *almost* Here!

    I don't think Reason will ever support the Giga format, they seem to only deal with their proprietary formats. Just to sum up some of the thoughts from others on this thread, I guess it all boils down to creativity, whether the programs upgrade or not, you can still find a way to get the...

    Reason 3 Is *almost* Here!

    Ok Duece I stand corrected on a couple issues with Reason (especially since I don't use it really only speaking from other peoples experience) but of course VST support doesn't mean you won't be able to make dope music. More of my point is that in the event you want to delve into other sounds...

    Mpc 4000 + ?????

    There goes that word again, what is the "BEST". Best for what, what are your needs, what can you afford, what do you want, what style of music are you doing (I assume Hip-Hop), but the best is really tough to say. You got an MPC4000 I'm assuming so you really don't need much else. Everybody...

    Pre production studio

    What is the reason you want hardware now? Just asking because think about purchasing gear you can build on, don't think about getting hardware just because it looks good or because it's cool, if you have FL Studio now I would go and download FL 5, that can almost hang with the MPC in my opinion...

    Fl 5

    I just copped FL Studio 5. I was going to get around to getting it a while ago on 4 but I procrastinated. I really like the direction FL Studio is going. Give it a few more years and it could be a major contender, already thousand of people worldwide are probably making tracks on this thing.

    Using hardware to Compress Vocals after recording?

    What's up Acebeatz, I'm familiar with compressors and preamps and the tubes in the Bluetube aren't really anything to write home about. Presonus is a good company but I need something a little bit more on the higher level. The preamps I really want to get early next year is the Drawmer 1969...

    Reason 3 Is *almost* Here!

    quite frankly because Reason is touted as a "software studio" with the notion of all in one and actually it's far from it, although it does a good job and I like the idea of the software but a few things are missing. Don't get me wrong this is just my take I haven't really used it much only a...

    Using hardware to Compress Vocals after recording?

    eXampuL_oNe check your settings on the presonus pre, I have a presonus bluetube (I hate the preamp) and when I've used it I get a lot of noise when turning up the gain and drive. You have to be very moderate with those things don't crank them up all the way or your not going to get a very clean...

    FL SoFTSYNTH

    There was another thread a long time ago similar to this one, and I think I suggested the same: Moog Modular http://www.arturia.com/en/moogmodular.lasso Trilogy http://www.spectrasonics.net/instruments/trilogy.html With either of these you'll never be at a loss for basslines and the sound...
