    Anyone here incorporate live instruments into their tracks?

    Hey, All our music is played in by myself or my colleague: keyboards, bass guitar, electric guitar, and we're learning to play drums...I too play sax, but haven't recorded anything. Bass isn't too difficult if you want to play simple basslines; for more complex ones with lots of fast notes...

    How many of you actually make money and support yourself through music?

    Hey, Not officially by making tunes, but I've been working in the audio industry for the past 2-3 years. I once considered a 'career' in making my own music, but it is such a difficult thing to get into, and I much rather work behind the scenes where I don't have to deal with as much BS...

    Mixing Sounds

    Hey, I get you, in the article they're claiming that they get a sound that they like by taking individual outs from their gear, running it through a hardware mixer, eq's, effects, etc., and 'printing' the final two-track mix to tape or some other medium...they do this instead of mixing...

    For Sale: Proteus 2000 and Korg TR Rack

    Hey, I think it's a Trinity rack....I'd let that thing go, it has the WORST interface of any synth and not the best Sound Diver implementation, if memory serves me correctly. Nick

    What does an Optical Output do?

    Hey, An optical output is digital, yes, but it also transfers information across a fiber optic cable using pulses of light. The advantages of this are many: 1. You can transfer a ton of information using optical connections. In the case of ADAT optical, you can transmit 8 channels of 48khz...

    What does 'battle' mean?

    Hey, Thanks a lot, Deuce, that makes a lot of sense. As for battle of the bands, usually a bunch of bands get together and play out live one after the other. Where battle beats, according to your description, are relatively simple and are designed as a vehicle to help showcase a rapper, bands...

    What does 'battle' mean?

    Hey, I keep hearing about 'battle' beats and raps, but so far I haven't been able to figure out exactly what the 'battle' part means. There are obviously some criteria to meet for something to be branded as 'battle', else the label wouldn't exist. Even amongst people who are in the know...

    Best RECORDING/MIXING SOFTWARE?

    Hey, "Protools gives ya traks a smooth & sharp sound." No, it doesn't....people just THINK it does. Microphones, preamps, ad/da convertors, etc. give your tracks a smooth sound. And knowledge. Nick

    Hey, The karaoke player only does phase inversion+ summing to remove the center channel, it still leaves behind reverbs or other vocal effects left out on the sides. Take care, Nick

    Pro Tools Problems

    Hey, PT doesn't come with a time stretch algorithm?!?!? You've GOT to be kidding!!!!!!!! Cool Edit, Sound Forge, Cubase, Sonar, Vegas, Acid, Wavelab, etc. have all come with stretch effects for about 5 years now... I just can't believe that the Almighty Pro Tools LE doesn't come with...

    For Sale: Proteus 2000 and Korg TR Rack

    Hey, Two years ago I got a mint Proteus 2k with TWO expansion cards off ebay for under $500...maybe I was lucky, but I think you'll have a hard time moving it for $450, especially as it is almost 4 years old now. Look at some recently completed P2k's on ebay...

    Hey, I'm sick of the way the forum is moderated (it isn't), but occasionally there are some gems of knowledge. There are quite a few 'pro' guys there with real record labels and releases, it's good to listen to their stories because they have a level of experience that you can't get from...

    Tommy Guerrero

    Hey, TOMMY GUERRERO?!?!?! That dude was my favorite skater back in the 80's, his claim to fame was being able to do sick ollies and was one of the first people to bring kickflips out of freestyle and into street skating. He was into music back then; since retiring from pro skating, he...
