    how long do you spend

    i've only spent about 2 hours at a record shop. Once I get my portable turntable i'm sure that will alllll change. Do any of you guys use one?

    pc-based gear or hardware-based

    I agree about using both. It all comes down to what you are comfortable with and then learning everything you can about it. Once you get your workflow down it doesnt matter what you use. **As far as long term investments go, the hardware will retain its value much better than software. you...

    Vince. Listenin now. Wow. The drums are sick and thick as fuck. I like it. The bass seems out of key though in a few spots. I like the drop outs this is hella nice.

    Problem in Vocals.........

    I actually just posted the default settings of one of the "vocal compression" settings in sonar. Is it really that bad? I have always used those as my base reference an then adjusted to my liking. I usually find that they do too much and have to tone it down quite a bit but I always figured I...

    Problem in Vocals.........

    He was right in the sense about the phasing. But what was up with the attitude? I'm just tryna help someone out. An those techniques i mentioned I DO use and they have worked for me. Especially when I was just starting out with a lesser quality setup, getting vocals to sit in the mix is...

    I did think the second sounded better but at the time i didnt know what it was about it. I was actually listenin but couldnt put my finger on it. The other one I forgot to mention seemed a tad bit slow so I think you got it pretty nicely.

    Gate on Master??

    don't put your gate on the master. The only reason I would see for doing this is to cut off the hiss before and after the track is done playing. All you would be doing is possibly cutting off parts of your actual beat. Maybe it gives a certain effect but it seems like you wouldnt want that...

    Problem in Vocals.........

    What's your recording setup? What microphone, preamp if any, and cables are you using? For vocals, try compression settings with a threshold of -12, a ratio of 6:1, adjusting the attack and release to what sounds most natural. Then up the gain by a bit and you should have some more leveled...

    word thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah the sample arrangement itself isn't too amazing at all, its the drums that bring it to life. It just goes to show how fitting drums to a sample really makes the difference. I started by arranging the samples then went through and really stuck the drums...

    Chipmunked loops

    maybe i'm retarded but I leave the vocals how they are if I sample them. It's cool taking all of the phrases and rearranging them to make it say something else but yeah its played out.

    True. I'm just wondering how much sales/exposure people actually get off the site. Also if you can make decent money even with the 20% cut they take. Seems to be working for you though so thats good congrats on that.

    Ruimixx. Everytime i click your link it logs me out of soundclick. don't know what the deal is. Damn Grafik this is such a beautiful sample. I honestly was in no mood for making beats but this shit sparked it in me. Spent about 2 hours on it. www.soundclick.com/5thsequence "Masterpeice"...

    welcome bro. Best thing to do is research EVERYTHING first, then ask us questions later after you've done thorough research and attempts.

    Sweet Fruit, STRANGE Fruit [by Jim Aikin]

    not sure if any of you are familiar with billie holiday's "strange fruit" song. If imagine line was familiar with the song they might not have picked that title.

    Bass Guitar Slide

    Yo man I feel you on the search for a sick guitar slide. It's possible to do it in FL studio but it won't sound as real as you (we) would like. Not even close really. Sygma explains it.
