    Yeah man you gotta build it up....if you do already have access to records and a turntable do that....you can snatch snares, basses, synths, guitars kicks and hats....then go for some old phrases and chop em up.....its best to do it with a piece of software.....you could take the second option...

    recording from hardware to software PROBLEM

    1st of all do you have a way to monitor the input, also if so you can try a couple of things......track the song down 1 track at a time or if you have 8 outs make sur all of your levels are right....sometimes I get each track recorded as high as possible and then one I have the multitracks in...

    mastering??? how necessary is it

    Starting out with quality samples that are used with the right levels you can avoid mastering a lot of times because a purely vinyl constructed track should already have been mixed b4 the sample you snatched hit the vinyl.....so if you are good at snatching samples and tweaking them with the...

    To all Producers...(Take this survey)

    Dac on that note I hear you thanks for the compliments I ain't really done anything major though LOL ...you get as much local or small projects out with your tracks....imagine if you were an artist that had all of his masterpieces in his crib......no one would ever know what he had and with...

    J thatz a good question, I mean I know a mastering place where they get stuff from all over the world to be actually mastered and digitally done....I never took anything to them but I heard what they did, and they do a lot of reggae stuff too....there are two studios that are within a few...

    To all Producers...(Take this survey)

    I make at least a G just off demo beats and small projects....that wasn't enuff to pay my bills when I lost my fulltime so couldn't make enuff cash or have a hit I had to sell off about 80% of my studio stuff but now I am rebuilding all of that....I have had my feet wet in production for awhile...

    EQ on Vocals ?????????

    Do you use a pop filter or a foam cover? I have had singers both male and female....the key to a good take is a good mic check off the top....then once you do that use it as a reference. ....after you record the vocals then you can mess around with the vocals after you record them, you might wan...

    EQ on Vocals ?????????

    DRY, Good levels no clipping, no FX consistent distance for the singers......save.....then......Try all of the things you might think, always save your original and then experiment with the mix that's the only way to learn and get a technique down......micing vocals is just like beat production...

    Let's say you were an engineer and you wanted to create your own sampler ...

    I think the interface is everything in what I would like to see in the way of a sampler, functions are definitely something you want but the combination I see that is ideal is about everything in some software..like fruity loops or reason but in an all in one hardware piece with the BEST audio...

    Copyrights...how long does it take?

    Exactly, I have been copyrighting for years and they are very slow, it might even be a year in some instances to get your certificate and if theres problems they call you right up, but generally if what you sent has no clearance issues, the postmark generally suffices as effective date.....or...

    Internal Zip For computer Problem

    Make sure that you install it with CS(cable select) or master on the ide bus controller....the jumpers settings should be on there....if you put it on the same cable as the hard drive or cd rom then you should probably either set the jumpers on the hard drive as master and the zip drive with CS...

    Im lookin 2 invest in sum hardware

    Afrique from looking at the primitive setup you had and the magic you work with it, you can only step to a higher level with some better gear, if you want to be that platinum producer get a good piece if you get a keyboard instead of an akai or asr x, get one with a good sampler, I don't care...

    Beat Machines

    I think 16 tracks per section and like 16 sections, anyhow man it is crazy and will do more than enuff for you I think plus it has parts....it is a little more complex in what it can do than either of the MPC2X samplers....it might be more on the level of the the MPC4000 as far as the features...
