    Creating your own 'unique' sound

    my bad for takin it like that, but you started off talking to me using the word "you" an then the rest of what you said you kept using the word "you" also.

    Creating your own 'unique' sound

    I couldnt disagree more. Your opinion is definitely your opinion, but your looking at what I said in a different perspective than how I meant it. I don't FORCE myself to do anything but be original. I dont do the obvious that someone else may do. I see that obvious part and I can go for it...

    Creating your own 'unique' sound

    thanks bigrob, appreciate the look on that. When I take samples though, I kinda have it in my mind like "what is every other producer going to do with this..." so I can avoid doin that if i can. I actually want it to more like all of these other producers hear the same sample and have no idea...

    DJ-O-TEN This was interesting. The stuttering chops after .35 seconds sounded sick, I would have loved to hear somethin more with that. Everything else was cool though, the main melody worked. I think the rigidness of the hihats made the song seam stuck in a grid to me. Otherthan that I...

    Xlr cable

    Least noise cables would be foil sheilding but they are the weakest. The foil on the inside blocks interference well but the more you move the cable (like bundle it up into a rope, throw it around an shit) the easier the foil can tear, causing leaks in your protection which lets interference...

    Creating your own 'unique' sound

    Props to destructuralize!! i was gonna come in put my 2 cents in.. but you cashed in a quarter for me. Exactly how i'd put it. i can tell you now that that is my underlying motivation. To give the beat a life of its own, to give it character, to give it soul. I want beats that nobody else...

    so new cables didnt work? You should check your area, if any radio stations or tv stations just opened they could be broadcasting a massive amount of radio frequencies and your old cables that were once fine even with minor breaks in the foil are now no match for the stations power...

    Snare Compression/ALC Snares?

    You can layer anything. Layering two snares can give you a different sound, or the best of both words. You may like the crunch of one snare, and the full bodied phatness of another. combining them gives you a phat crunchy snare. Same thing with kicks an anything else really. You don't...

    lol its all good ruimix, it was still a nice peice. aha, an dont sweat it Destruct, you know i'm jus givin ya a hard time. But yeah, as far as drum consistancy you want everything to sound like it came from the same "imaginary kit". If you have a grimey snare that you want to use, then you'd...

    should u alwayz u the swing function?

    i manually place every note of everything. Put the quantize off and try clicking it in. The variation of not having the same exact distance everytime can get you more feel along as you create your own swing. also varying the volume can create a swing feel if you do it right. Swing to taste lol.

    lfo? downsampling stuff in fl studio and shit like that.

    To take off that clean/pristine sound in drums using FL, you can apply the Fruity Free Filter. On its default setting, but the "Q" all the way down an then adjust the cut to taste. Putting it all the way to the right dampens it a lil bit, but you can get just the meet of the sound if you...

    How can i disable Time Stretch?

    i used to have this problem too, you're talking about using FL Slicer right? If so, then check this out. When you add a new FL Slicer channel, by default, these two little options are enabled. One is called "Auto Dump" and the other is "Auto Fit". They are shown enabled in orange. This...

    hissing sound

    Could be the quality settings when you export in FL. Hmm.. fresh outta ideas besides that.

    Computer Crashed?

    geek squad didnt help me for shit though. They almost fucked me over so be careful and use common sense. They wanted to charge me (i forget the cost per how many gigs of info) but it was insanely retarded. I have about 45gigs of music on my computer an it would have been expensive as fuck to...

    Levels

    Yeah sygma's got a good idea about things. What you need to do (if you are adding vocals) is to track the beat out track by track. Then lower the master fader about 5 db's or whatever you need to lower it by so nothing is clipping. Turn up your monitors now so you dont notice the different in...

    it's probably in your wiring. What type of wires do you use? You'd want to use foil sheilded wires because they block out most interference. However, you can damage that "foil protection" by simply bending your cable. Everytime its bent or moves around or is wrapped up, the lil foil...
