    Help..........Chopping up samples

    Hey, Use CEP to chop up samples. You can see the waveforms: make selections of each individual hit, go to File>Save Selection As and save each one out. You can then load them into a drum sampler (I assume FL has one) and get busy. Take care, Nick

    who smokes, and does it make a difference

    Hey, Man, it's no joke that drunk people are a pain in the ass. Most of the people we've worked with doing hip hop are, well, not the best off financially, and often we have to drive 30 miles across town to pick them up to bring them over to the house. One time a dude was so drunk he could...

    Tight and Crappy Recording Studio's

    Hey, I would argue that it's not necessarily the studio itself which gives the good recordings, but rather the engineers and producers who make the records. Of course, many studios COME with engineers...and studios have their own sound to them: rooms, mics, preamps, etc. A good engineer...

    Have any of you PC producers seen this?

    Hey, 1. You can record the dj, you plug the outs of the dj mixer into one of the line inputs. 2. You can record a mic, the big black inputs on the front have preamps with phantom power specifically for this. 3. TWO headphone outputs!!!! 4. Technically it can be a mixer, 4 in and 10...

    who smokes, and does it make a difference

    Hey, I don't drink or smoke weed, and I absolutely HATE working with people who are drunk or stoned. The don't follow instructions, their sense of what's good is completely warped, and it takes them forever to react to anything. If people come over to my studio stoned or drunk, I send them...

    Production magazines

    Hey, I learned just about everything I know about MIDI and audio by reading magazines like Sound on Sound, Future Music, Electronic Music and Computer Music. The best, in my opinion, has got to be Sound on Sound. It's not a production magazine in the sense that it tells you how to make...

    experiments with midi

    Hey, MIDI is what I do best, let me offer a hand: 1. MIDI is NOT audio. 2. Audio is NOT MIDI. This is probably the hardest thing to get your head around, the differences between the two. Because often the 'result' of MIDI is audio, people get them confused. MIDI is nothing more than...

    Why do i need outputs on a PC audio card?

    Truth, I meant that I've never used the 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 outputs. The 1/2 outputs are patched back into my mixer, which sends the audio out to my speakers. Yes, you can do an entire track using only Cubase SX, my latest track Into Your Mind was sequenced, recorded, edited and mixed entirely...

    Why do i need outputs on a PC audio card?

    Hey, I always recommend that people get either M-Audio or Echo cards because they've been in the business for a long time and they have regular updates to their drivers. They also offer a wide range of cards with different numbers and types of outputs. From what I can tell, they sound pretty...

    RNB sounding guitar riffs or samples

    Hey, Yeah, that's why we do it for such a long time, because we're not very good at playing guitar (yet). If you have access to a wah-wah pedal, record yourself playing through that as well. If you don't have the coordination to strum and rock the pedal at the same time, have a friend...

    When Layering Drums...

    Hey, If I have a sampled drum loop, I usually always eq out the bass so that I can add my own; I like techno kicks, nice and hard which acoustic kicks don't give me. Also, it allows me to place the kicks on a different track in Cubase and have full control over its volume. Layering other...

    How Do You Make Your Beats.???

    Hey, Both the beat and lyrics are critical to making a good track, we like to make sure that they compliment each other and edit both to make sure they work together. In our case we make the beat first, then have the rapper record his lyrics on top of it. While recording, we edit some of the...

    RNB sounding guitar riffs or samples

    Hey, I don't know what sample cd's have good guitar licks on them, most of what I've heard aren't very good anyways. You already have the tools to make your own, this is what we do for our guitar patterns: We plug an electric guitar into a mixer channel and play for 10-15 minutes at a...
