    Best RECORDING/MIXING SOFTWARE?

    Hey, Cool Edit and Acid should sound exactly the same when recording sounds, provided that you use the same mic, preamp, soundcard, and driver. Take care, Nick

    improvin your rapper's voice

    Hey, I have a Yamaha DSP Factory soundcard, which is a card that has DSP chips on it to do effects like reverb, chorus, etc. One of my favorite things to do to vocals it to run them through the dual-pitch shifting effect and set the wet/dry balance to 50-50. Then I modify each pitched voice...

    Serious Artists...

    Pboy, Man, do I feel your pain! When they're sober, you must absolutely sit down with them and set out some rules: 1. They come to the studio sober. 2. They come to the studio PREPARED. None of this 'gimme a pen and paper' crap. 3. If it seems like they haven't practiced or at least have...

    Serious Artists...

    HELL YES. This seems to be a problem in the hip hop world, where people think they DESERVE something just for being alive. I'll blame one thing: MTV. With all those retarded shows, people hamming it up for the camera, script writers getting characters to start crap with each other to...

    BigD, Where did you get the certification? College? Online? What study materials did you use and how much was the exam? Thanks Nick

    OT: A+ certification

    Hey, I've been reading about different qualifications on the net for computers, everyone suggests that you start out with the A+ certification. Do any of you have one or know what it is? Thanks Nick

    absythn 2

    Hey, I've only played with Absynth 1, it is great for making really wacky tripped out sounds. I don't remember exactly how it works, it's something like a sampler with a ton of modulation sources to make them do all sorts of weird things, plus effects and lots of eq's. I sincerely doubt...

    Pro Tools le troubles

    Hey, These are software limitations, I could probably point out in the C++ code where the programmers define how many tracks you can have when you load a session. It is used as a marketing ploy to offer you a stepping stone down the path of their software; then once you're well in and wanting...

    Apple to PC coversion

    Hey, 1. In Windows, click on the file to select it. 2. Hit F2, this will allow you rename the file. 3. Rename it to filename.wav Now it Windows should recognise it as a wav file. You need to make sure that 'Hide extensions for known file types' is turned OFF in the Folder Options in...

    World Wide Hiphop

    Hey, This is a common thing with Americans, not enjoying anything that is foreign, especially if it is not in English. Just look at the amount of films which make it into the states; when Amelie and Beautiful Life did so well, it was a real phenomenon here as NOBODY likes to sit through a...

    Layered Vocals

    Hey, Yes. I will sometimes have the singer repeat a performance 2, 3, or sometimes 6 times, then mix them all together in Cool Edit before dropping the mixed version back into Cubase. Or, I'll run a single performance through the pitch shifter on my DSP Factory soundcard to emulate 3 extra...

    Pro Tools le troubles

    Hey, 1. How fast is your computer? 2. How much RAM have you installed? 3. How fast is your hard drive? 4. How fast is your IDE bus? 5. Are these stereo or mono tracks? 16 bit or 24 bit? 44.1k, 48k? 6. Are you running any other programs in the background? Take care, Nick

    Have any of you PC producers seen this?

    Deuce, You're flogging a dead horse here, I don't think anyone has used it...if you're so set on getting it, why not make the purchase from a place which offers a 30 day return policy? That way, if you don't like it, you can send it back and get something else. Take care, Nick

    cubase cakewalk or pro tools

    Hey, Why not Logic for MIDI AND audio? Or Pro Tools for MIDI AND audio? It seems like a lot of extra effort to use two programs when one can handle both tasks. The Logic/Pro Tools combo is a hangover from when those programs could only do their respective jobs, I'm talking from a few years...

    Rolling Stone Mag....

    Hey, Rolling Stone has been around since the 60's, it is THE reference for pop music. I don't care for it much as they focus too much on guitar stuff and top 40, but sometimes they have some neat articles and photos of bands I like. Nick
