    You guys are sleeping on Elektron

    I just picked up a Digitakt and it is one of the coolest Drum machine/Samples I have ever used. Just some wicked stuff you can do with it. Check it out I also have an MPC One on order so I will compare them as soon as I get the MPC in hand. I am done with 2000xl but still loving Maschine

    Do keys matter?

    I won't make a difference to one part in a melodic context soloed by itself, but keys make a massive difference in the scheme of the overall composition.

    New kid on the block

    I am a computer guy myself, so I get it. I would say those MPC's are instruments in themselves and take some time to learn and can sure be fun. My brain connected with Reason years ago but FL is VERY powerful in ways no other sequencer is.

    How do producers manipulate the sounds of instruments?

    Most producers start with the pitch of a sample. You can pitch it up or down to do all kinds of things. Sometimes the performance is just a sampled phrases from a record or something. For me most of the songs I make I use real instruments and either play them myself or get my musician friends to...

    Acoustic Treatment

    Its more about tuning the room than anything, put all the dimensions in the computer and see what it says. Is this a tracking room? Control room? Let me know how it goes, I am about to start building my own private studio in about 30 days and will be using all this stuff!

    Production Akai MPC One: Will It Improve Your Workflow?

    There is a bunch of people going modular and it’s a fun world. Akai is playing to this audience a bit.

    Production Akai MPC One: Will It Improve Your Workflow?

    CV Control is why. That is huge. Although I am leaning Elektron as they have CV on their stuff as well.

    Be careful with Behringer mixers

    I always liked those when I was at Sweetwater. Never an issues. Behringer is pretty hit an miss.

    Be careful with Behringer mixers

    Yea man, maybe a Yamaha would be a better fit for what you are looking for?

    Be careful with Behringer mixers

    Was it properly grounded at the outlet? What Did you have it plugged in to. The power strip? I have bashed Behringer for years because of quality but it does seem like they have improved and they are killing it in the synth dept.

    Question for producers.

    @Memento Beats Avicii is an interesting example as he layers TONS of stuff. He may start with a preset but he messes around with it quite a bit. See So when he is all done its different from the original I am a huge Avicii fan as well. I see a LOT of hip hop guys using stock FL or Reason drum...

    Thank You

    @2GooD Productions Dude I know, I used to talk to Relic, Dac and Stress on the phone OFTEN. We all became real life friends. Its pretty amazing really. And Im always down and looking for Emcees, anyone is welcome to hit me up.

    Question for producers.

    My main thing is that I use almost all real instruments. If you hear a bass line, I played it. If you hear a synth I made the patch. I get other musicians to play on the tracks as well so its all real performances. I do sample and twist up old records from time to time but its always...

    Question for producers.

    Chord progressions have mostly all been done as have melodic elements. But you can always put them in a new context. I would argue that your job as a producer is to find your own sound. Using stock sounds AT ALL its completely lazy. Why in the world would you want to not make your own sound...

    Thank You

    I want to go in more depth with this, hopefully its not incoherent I have been on the road all damn day. This place helped me hone my beat making ability until it was razor sharp and I could win most battles. I forget the username but Sikderelic?? convinced me to slow down and take my time in...
