    Drum Tweaking Techniques

    You have to listen very closely to try and emulate whatever drum sample your referring too, but also remember he's had that sample/track mastered in the end so your forgetting about what the mastering engineer may have done to it. Your ears are your best friend though, depending on the equipment...

    Best computer for music production

    If you go the PC route, like my man mentioned above you can build it yourself; or if you go out and buy one off the shelf reconfigure it for audio recording only that's very important! I run a PC DAW and I never have computer crashes. The MACs are good if your not into tweaking and configuring...

    Urrrr...Tha best way to compress yer mp3?

    What do you mean by "Tha best" is speed your determining factor or accuracy and sound quality. If the latter then you need to look at EAC (Exact Audio Copy) and LAME 3.90.3. EAC is a CD Ripper which can operate in secure mode which means it will accurately transfer audio from your Music CD...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    I don't know if anybody mentioned this already but let's also read in between the lines so to speak. These laws regarding sampling musical works, breaks, basslines, etc, are directly impacting the one musical genre where sampling is an old tradition: Hip-Hop. It sounds to me like it's more about...

    Phatter drums

    In addition to what the other brothers said, make sure you have some good monitors or headphones so you can hear pretty accurately. Also if your soundcard supports it always record at 24 Bit - 44.1Khz, at least don't go any lower. Keep practicing with your craft and if you like post some of your...

    Recommendations????

    I would agree with G. French on one of his points, THE MOST IMPORTANT piece in the digital home PC studio is the Monitors and then the Soundcard, because basically you have to hear what you are doing accurately and the sounds have to be processed through a farely good soundcard for recording...

    correct sound level when mastering question

    What equipment are you using? If you explain your studio setup a little better we could help you, for example how everythng is hooked up, what software your using, etc. But in general: When you go from the roland to the PC don't push the levels so high keep them so that all the...

    Setup Question ?

    Suggestion check out the Aardvark Q10 which has the built-in preamps on each channel, then you can plug in directly your turntable, microphone, and M-Audio Radium 49 keyboard straight into the soundcard. The Akai MPD16 can also be plugged directly into your PC USB port and not have to worry...

    Question about Soundcards

    The soundcard or audio interface is at the heart of any digital based studio. A "good" soundcard allows you higher bit rates, midi capabilities, multi-channel inputs and outputs, and has a lot to do with the overall sound quality that your going to get in your audio programs FL Studio, Cool...

    Sony Sound Forge 7 and Acid 4f + Reason = Deadly

    You can use Acid for recording vocals too, but I would render the entire Acid track and import the audio into a multitrack recorder, that way you'll have better control over the vocal track than you will inside Acid. Just my tip, but if you don't have any other software available go ahead and...

    Vocaloid anyone?

    I used it when it first came out, too me it sounds too robotic but if you work at it you might be able to get it to sound like a real human. I was using Lola. It's a good idea for sparking new ideas in the studio but it would never replace real singers (Thank goodness), plus the technology has...

    live 4

    I just upgraded to Ableton Live 4 I was using Live 3 before hand, it's very flexible, easy to use and endless potential for making music compositions. Also a note on the sound quality, those people that complain about the sound quality of Live should check the quality of the music/audio...

    Ableton Live 4

    I heard about the new version of Ableton Live 4 the other day, I'll be buying the upgrade in July when it comes out. I use Live in conjunction with FL Studio now (crucial combo) and to be honest I don't use much of anything else anymore except for sonar to lay down my vocals but I even have a...

    Sound Creation

    You can make bass sounds from inside of Sound Forge doesn't matter what version, make a sine wave, eq it to taste so you get that deep bass thump and there you go. You can make a bass sound out of plucking a rubber band in front of a microphone and then tweaking the eq. Get creative don't be...

    How can i stop the clicking when i loop a sample in cool edit?

    fade out the end points of your loop, that will get rid of the click. To clarify select a very small piece of the end of your loop and select fade out in your audio editor. Also make sure its an even loop. Hope this is clear enough.

    playing an instrument

    To be honest with you in my opinion it's easier to create music from your own abilities than it is to sample someone else's works. Mainly because when you sample your constrained into working on a composition according to how the original musician played and recorded the instrument, unless your...
