    need help with cakewalk homestudio 2004xl

    Try this......pc midi out to mp7 midi in......mp7 midi thru to mpc midi in...mpc midi thru to pc midi in.....this should complete the loop...you should then test your controller if you are using one on the computer, if you press a key you should be able to at least trigger sounds......then make...

    need help with cakewalk homestudio 2004xl

    the easiest way to do this is not use MTC....we've had that debate b4 but I am willing to bet if you just use the good ol fashioned midi clock, and make sure that the hardware devices are all routed correctly on the midi bus and then make the software the master clock........I have had just...

    Fruity Loops or Reason ?

    I am fairly new to reason I like it but I also have the latest edition of Fruity loops, sequencing in fruity loops can be corrected manually or with their quantize.....you can record your track by banging it in on your mpd or midi controller and at the same time it gets the swing and you can...

    How do you start your production??

    I usually start with the drums and if I am doing an track rnb I build a melody first or at least 3 main chords and then build the drums around it.

    Tell Me - Is Sonar capable of competing with ProTools?

    The thing that would be considered an advantage is that protools has proprietary hardware that supposedly enhances it's software capabilities.....I have sonar and protools 5.1....and I have done a lot of sessions in both and I keep asking myself what the real advantage is and using a mia...

    is 4 elements enough?

    Well the thing is that even though you might not think that production has nothing to do with djing nowadays, the beats, patterns and techniques used on computer based equipment emulate what the djs were doing to make beats for mc's all the way back to the simplest pattern or first beatboxes...

    Reason-->Pro Tools

    one workaround is to try to dump each track in wave format by muting the ones you aren't dumping or soloing each one at a time and then you have them to import to a track individually into protools.

    PC's vs. multitrack recorders

    Hey I agree on the fact that protools sounds flat or something compared to even cubase or sonar if you do all of your mastering and mixing to get a final mix...I don't understand the hype because I have all three and I find myself using sonar or cubase more...also the stock plugins are not good...

    reason sequencing

    I don't know if there is an easy way to do this, I mean you would have to have the vocals pre recorded and maybe if you got say just a drum track or loop you can do it outside because everything will be synced up..unless you can do an accapella on point without a beat.....but if you went thru...

    Leasing a beat???

    Yes that's the right term vitamin Man I hear this leasing thing alot, sounds like I am getting dvd for a few nights or something...but basically your work is just like a piece of software....you can give a license out and you can create all of the terms of the license and then sell exclusive or...

    Wasted talents, any of you out there?

    Well look at it like this, when you look at 3 of the most successful names that are about 40, Jayz, Dre and eminem...hell they are old by any standard and Dre was not a youngin when he started the production thing after leaving the band scenario....so I just think you gotta throttle down the age...

    What Do You Guys Think About This?

    I think it used to be like this, I know a few established cats that do move around from their home studio and they generally have a roland VS multi...and an mpc at least, that's probably what they are referring to...is like the in house producers that are already signed to some kind of...

    Reason Newbie

    hey man look I just spent about 24hrs with Reason and I know i saw the last version and passed on it.....this is it for me.....the drums come thru in the mix....I was really hyping up Fruity Loops the producer version that I splurge like 150 on....only because I was strapped for money,....it's...

    November 16-20, 2003 - Comments/Questions

    I say that mp3 is better or like other sites that take on the conversion...I won't mention it but you send them the track and they convert it for the online battle brackets....they don't tweak it but its fair enuff that on the producer's end if they are handicapped converting like me....I can't...

    Reason Newbie

    I am talking about a 4bar offset or pre count in b4 recording starts, I found a way to improvise by moving the whole loop over 4 bars and set the click on it's just how I like to use the Mpc or other sequencers that just have a count in sort of like Pro tools so you can play realtime...

    Reason Newbie

    Ok great thanks homies....look I am trying to find out 1 more thing...how do you do a count in on the transport sequencer for realtime...like on the mpc....that's my last question promise! one thing I already see on reason compared to my Fruity loops are the drums are thicker without doing any...

    Reason Newbie

    Hey look I just got Reason and what I need to know is how do I get a brand new setup when I click new.....meaning all of the patterns and the sequencers are cleared so I don't see any of the wack demos or patterns....I want to start with a new setup everytime I click new....
