    Real Hip-Hop???

    The word 'real' can be vague and is not very descriptive, maybe terms like traditional Hip-Hop or something to that effect. But what Mr. Messenger said about the original messages (intentions) of Hip-Hop Culture and Music is what I believe is relevant and should be regarded as sacred to the...

    Ja Rule & Minister Farrakhan Interview - New Found Respect!

    I saw the interview with Ja Rule & Minister Farrakhan and I have to admit, I have a lot more respect for Ja, because he was man enough to sit down and open up and it seems he actually does want to squash his beef with 50 Cent. I think many people jumped on the I hate Ja Rule bandwagon since 50...

    Drum Sounds

    I understand your point of view fats, but you have to face it, this is one of the trends of music creation these days regurgitate sounds try to make whats old new again, take what someone else created and add to it hopefully adding your own flavor and passion to it. Everybody has something...

    Awave Studio- A must for Most Producers!!

    welcome to the club, I've been using Awave Studio for a while now. My partner had all these samples in mpc format which we needed to convert to a basic pcm wav file. It's a really handy program.

    I'm Running Sonar 3 Producer Edition Now!

    I only had one dropout peeps, I'm in the process of stress testing 100 tracks of audio at 5 minutes and also to see how many plugins I can run on each channel. I'll let yall know. About the audio editing Fade, I believe it's very similar to Sonar 2 but give me a specific example of how you would...

    I'm Running Sonar 3 Producer Edition Now!

    Yeah Fade, Cakewalk hooked us up nice on Sonar 3, when I start looking through the menus, and options, it is pretty much the same as Sonar 2 but the whole entire interface looks a lot more pleasing, and the mixing section looks similar to Cubase SX's mixer. They paid more attention to the design...

    I'm Running Sonar 3 Producer Edition Now!

    First thing I noticed is Sonar 3 has a much smaller footprint on your computer system, meaning it takes up less disk space compared to Sonar 2, but they also greatly improved the interface and design of the mixer console and basically the whole program. I haven't recorded anything with it yet...

    To all you music heads...

    Yeah I'm familiar with that mag, you can get it at 'fine book stores' such as Borders, Barnes and Nobles probably other places too, but in DC those are the only places I can find them. The magazines are good but expensive around $13-14 because they're from the UK. I wouldn't commit to a...

    Too many people think they can "produce"? Are there too many wannabes?

    My notion of a 'wannabe' is someone who doesn't want to do the 'work' but wants the success associated with hard working paying off I can't agree that all of us on this site or anyone else for that matter is a 'wannabe' because they haven't made big time status; is a household name or...

    Too many people think they can "produce"? Are there too many wannabes?

    With access to computer music software such as virtual software studios like Reason, FL Studio, etc, and recording programs like Cubase and Sonar even Pro Tools, the home/project studio today is equipped to create high quality music at affordable rates which is a very good thing. I...

    Mastering

    Mastering is no easy task at all and there are so many software applications nowadays that claim to be mastering software but really only include a couple features eq, compressor, etc. Not saying you can't use these, but I would first make sure your track is as clean as possible taken from good...

    Ableton Live...Is it the real deal?

    I use Ableton Live 2 and about to get version 3 soon. It is very useful you have rewire support it works with Pro Tools 6, Sonar, Cubase all the premier recording packages. The looping abilities are far greater than Acid (not diminishing what acid can do) but you have the time warp feature which...

    Dr Dre G-Funk

    no problem Holmzini, I can safely say the Moog Modular is the TRUTH next best to the real thing!

    Dr Dre G-Funk

    Another option is the Moog Modular http://www.arturia.com/en/moogmodular.lasso Its a software emulation of the famous analog syth, I use it myself and it's THE BOMB! It's not a cheap imitation, they took there time and developed this one with Bob Moog's technical guidance and approval I...

    Producers Using Reason Competition Ahead!

    60/40 is my take on the competition styles Hip-Hop is the latter, but I do think Hip-Hoppers and R&B peeps have a great chance to win. I always thought of Fruityloops being the techno- drum and bass, etc producers program of choice, but it probably works both ways. It should be interesting to...

    Omni, Cardioid, Figure-8 ?????

    I guess your asking this because your Neuman U87 can pickup these three directional patterns. Condenser mics are excellent choices for vocal reproduction. Bidirectional is best used for across-the-table interviewing or two facing music sources. Omnidirectional is ideal for clip-on mic...

    Omni, Cardioid, Figure-8 ?????

    TKNK I just saw that Behringer B1 didn't it just come out, I believe it's around $100 bucks. Another good mic I would recommend is the Rode NT1a $199.

    Rewire using sonar and reason

    Check this link out as a reference, its just some basics on rewire setup with reason and sonar, but it could be where you went wrong. If this doesn't help or you haven't got it figured out respond back I'll ask my friend that uses Reason. http://www.cakewalk.com/Tips/April03_AndertonPt2.asp#2

    How Important is the Mixing Board for Vocals???

    Mucka you got a nice setup that U87 is like three grand almost! The avalon preamps are renowned in a lot of studios I've heard. Most peeps on here can't afford that U87 but a very good preamp you can get for under a grand will make a huge difference along with a solid mic. Check out these...
