    EP or Album?

    Dac, I think we're both sort of right on our definitions of an EP (that they have 4 or 5 tracks), but on the EP's I used to get there would be 4 or 5 COMPLETELY different tracks, not a song plus variations of it...that would be, in my opinion, what we called a 'maxi-single' as it focused on...

    EP or Album?

    Dac, "I don't want to buy each of the SINGLES first because I'm gonna end up buying the same ish twice after purchasing the album" Exactly why we would do an EP! If we had about 4 or 5 tracks that we really believed in, I'd like to release those in one go instead of making up 5 or so more...

    Calling all Cool Edit users: Looping

    Hey, I'm curious to know, how many of you who use Cool Edit Pro 2.0 know about: ACID-style looping in the multitrack? Real-time effects? If you use Cool Edit Pro 1.0 or Cool Edit 2000, this doesn't apply to you, these features aren't available in those versions. I'll be waiting...

    EP or Album?

    Hey, I'm not sure what to do, so I thought I'd present this to you guys to hear out what everyone thinks as you're more in touch with the hip hop scene than I am. What do you guys think about EP's versus albums? I was always a fan of EP's and singles as a kid, all my favorite bands used to...

    Why do i need outputs on a PC audio card?

    Hey, Duh, I forgot: multichannel audio. If you're making audio for something like a 5.1 playback system, you need to have at least 6 outputs on your card to route all the audio to the different speakers. Now THAT'S fun, having audio spin round and round your head under the control of a...

    Pending Beats

    Hey, Beat management is OH so difficult. Especially if you're really creative, you're mind is running around at a squillion miles an hour, idea being generated from nothing which makes you think about how you can make that one bassline just a little...

    Proteus 2000???

    Hey, Awesome! When you get it, be sure to check out the review of Sound Diver, some of it covers the Proteus and what's underneath the hood. https://www.illmuzik.com/articles/reviews/emagic/sounddiver1.php Take care, Nick

    Why do i need outputs on a PC audio card?

    Truth, Once again you answer your own questions... :D The extra outputs, I believe, were designed so that people could use their computers as virtual ADAT-type decks (8 tracks) and send everything to an external mixer for mixdown to ANOTHER deck. At least, that's what I've been told. This...

    Logic help

    Hey, I don't know Logic that well, but I'm sure that the fundamentals of it are similar to Cubase. 1. It does two things: audio and MIDI. 2. You have a main arrange screen, this is where you lay out your audio and MIDI tracks. 3. There is a mixer which you use to balance the volumes and...

    Building a vocal booth ?

    Hey, I'm going to try making it as cheaply as possible by hanging old carpet a few inches off the surfaces in a walk-in closet. It won't be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it will be better than what I've got going right now. If we're lucky, there won't be any old bong water...

    Bass in yo face

    Hey, You can get Maxxbass as a plugin with the Native Gold Bundle by Waves. It will cost you a pretty penny, though, the hardware version is MUCH cheaper: http://www.waves.com/htmls/prods/indi/maxbass.html The 101 and 102 hardware modules are about $200-300 in the US, you can read about...

    Reason Keyboard

    Hey, Forgive me for asking, I don't even have Reason.... Isn't Dr. Rex used for playing back .rex files? It sounds like he wants to play his samples across a keyboard, I thought that .rex files were sort of like drum loops all chopped up that just get triggered, not played across a...

    Reason Keyboard

    Hey, Taking a stab at this... Isn't there a sampler in Reason called NN19? Normally you would load the sound into it, then map it out across the keyboard so that the pitch changes as you move up and down the keys. If you're lucky, it will map out the keys for you so that you can start...

    I nEEd Help Just Cant Get $hit Right

    Hey, 1. Sound Forge is only a wave editor. Cool Edit Pro is a wave editor AND multitrack recorder in one program. Both great programs, you get more features with CEP. Keep in mind that Cool Edit no longer exists, it is now called Audition, made by Adobe Software. 2. If your melody sample...

    Humming Basslines

    Hey, NO!!!!!! That is a great idea! And to even take your idea further, sometimes it's a good idea to have a little dictaphone/minicassette player handy so you can record yourself humming, this is useful for when you have an idea for a melody but aren't near your keyboard, sometimes you...

    Anyone here incorporate live instruments into their tracks?

    Hey, The only lessons I took were in the 5th and 6th grades for sax, in middle and high schools I took a lot of music classes and played in show/jazz bands and orchestras. Right now I'm working with a professional tenor sax player to improve my sight reading, music theory and technique. My...
