recording
Soundboy2: The Tascam 788 is an extremely powerful digital recording studio from TEAC. It is a comprehensive all-in-one digital recorder with graphic non-linear editing, multiple undos, and various MIDI controls as well. I find it difficult to believe that it would only record two inputs at... -
Ever Notice How Inspiration "Pops out Your Ass" when you got good synths?
Good presets can be inspirational. Some people just buy synths for their presets, and then get new ones when the synth manufacturer comes out with new presets. Sincerely, God -
Too many people think they can "produce"? Are there too many wannabes?
Dear All: I appreciate your comments. I think it's great to see so much vigour in production these days. Sincerely, God -
Lookin to put together a "Unsigned MC CD"
Dear StressWon: Simply an inquiry, and I am not interested in your CD, but... How are you going to sell this album? Are the people that send you their music going to be compensated? Or is it simply a CD meant for exposure? Also, what about the copyrights regarding the CD and each...- God

Protools Help
Protools has great loop and time stretching plugins available. I am not familiar with the free version of ProTools, and what Digidesign left out and made available. A wave editor with time stretching and pitch preservation capabilities, as is said, would do the job. This should also make... -
MIDI cable question???
Dear N.U.G.: 20 ft. should be fine, although it is kind of long, you might want to consider the setup of your studio for practical purposes. There are people who claim that longer cables, if they are not high quality will deplete the quality of the MIDI impulse signal. So, you might get... -
Reel To Reel?
You are either thinking of two types of products: The budget TEAC Reel-to-Reel: http://www.proaudiosystems.co.uk/acatalog/All_Products___Tascam___Reel_to_Reel_102.html Or the ubiquitous Studer Analogue Tape Recorder: http://www.studer.ch/products13.htm Usually, when you hear of... -
Too many people think they can "produce"? Are there too many wannabes?
Dear All: I have heard this, with the popularisation of computer recording, there has been an alleged "devaluation" in musical production, and in the concept of production in general. I am posting this, because I heard a friend say that "anyone with a computer, softsynth, and budget... -
stupid slumps...... what do you do?
Truth Told: Wait until your keyboard comes. It usually works. The way I make music is by sitting down at an acoustic instrument, like a piano, and making a melody on that, then transfer the ideas to the production lab. If you know an instrument it will help, otherwise, wait for the...- God

Mastering
Sacred One: Honestly, the key to mastering is listening to the track and making sure it sounds good. Thus, I can't necessarily take you step by step into mastering a track because there is no set way in doing so. The process depends on the style of music the song is and what kind of release... -
What Vst's Do U Use/suggest?
Fila: I highly suggest a VST instrument that gives you virtually no-limits on the boundaries of synthesis. With that said, I highly recommend Native Instruments' Reaktor series, or its more bold full line of Native Instruments VST bundle that it is currently marketing. The VSTs you've... -
Mastering
It's not that simply, unfortunately. Mastering can essentially be considered an "artform" and mastering in a professional setting is a long and arduous task with the mastering engineers possessing a great knowledge of mathematics, understanding of frequencies (more math), and the proper... -
Comercial radio play?
Money = spins 1 play doesn't do much, except for boosting the ego. It doesn't matter how good you are, unless you choreograph a massive call-in WHILE you have a record representative in town for you it might make a budge if you are an unknown. Usually the record label will call the... -
and the MEANING is........???
Mr. Messenger: Show the rationality of your logic. I am simply using analogical reasoning to show the impact of your statements regarding the USA and AUS. If I don't understand AUS as much as I should, then I am guilty of what you are guilty of regarding the USA. Sincerely, God- God

and the MEANING is........???
Mr. Messenger: The word you are so adamantly claiming is a double standard, if you understand black history in America, which most people from other countries don't understand, is that the initial usage of the words stemmed from the brutality of slavery in the American South, and this...- God

ESI nEar05
I don't think that budget monitors, especially at 5 1/4 inch that the ESI nEar05 has is not a good deal. I don't think the "woofers" are large enough to give proper frequency representation. You'll probably have to get a subwoofer. I don't condone the purchase of budget monitors unless it... -
Acoustic Guitar
Dear P_1: I wouldn't suggest going electro-acoustic, unless you want that "Bubblegoose" Wyclef Jean sound, it sounds so artificial. I'd suggest you read this article on miking acoustic guitars from Sound on Sound magazine... -

what is selling out??
I don't mean to be pretentious, but a friend of mine put it best: "Selling out is the term people who don't make money in music use when somebody in music is actually making a lot of money." As some of you grow older, you'll actually see the benefits of "selling out" instead of "keeping it...- God

Sample rate..44, 48, 96???
I will address this in two portions: TECHNICAL VIEW: I think the most important thing to increase would be the bitrate rather than the sample rate. If you are recording in 16 bit, I usually recommend increasing the bitdepth to 24 bits in order to lower the noise floor (120 dbs), thus giving...
