    General Software Question...

    Hey, 1. The point of programs like Cakewalk and Cubase intitially was to sequence your hardware synths. Then, they added the capability to mix it with audio tracks. Then, they added effects, then soft synths... Now, there is a 'virtual studio' in your computer when you run SX or Sonar, a...

    Just Wondering (MPC)

    Exel, I tried to get Syntrillium to do a thing with Akai because of all the people who use both CEP and the MPC...the president and product managers were so out of touch with sampler/computer based music that they had no clue what the MPC was and that lots of hip hoppers were using cracks of...

    What condenser mics do you prefer recording with?

    Hey, Good mic technique usually means placement: distance from the sound source, direction, pattern, filtering, etc. as well as coaching the singer/performer to do things which aid in capturing the sound better, like stepping away from the mic during loud passages. God, I use an Oktava 319...

    Im assuming its just me...but does anyone else think 50 Cent bites tha big one???

    Hey, He's a big hit because hip hoppers in general are all a bunch of sheep and they've been told by people that he's good, so they beleive it. I would LOVE to see him make a track and play it on the radio WITHOUT putting his name on it, to see if it does well... Nick

    Cubase SX questions

    Hey, 1. On the transport bar you click on the Tempo and change it. Make sure that the Master button isn't turned on. This will only work for MIDI tracks. To do audio tracks, you'll have to do time stretching. 2. Look it up in the Reason manual, it tells you there. Take care, Nick

    MPC 3000 - MIDI - Control

    Hey, What manual? The Proteus 2000 manual! It tells you about Muiltisetups on page 31. If you don't have a paper manual, you can download one from the Emu site: http://www.emu.com/support/manuals/Files/Proteus2KOp-E.pdf I did some reading about the MPC 3000, and if you look at the MIDI...

    fl help

    Hey, You probably dowloaded .bin or .sit files, which are compressed versions of the installation programs. You need to also download a small utility called Stuffitto decompress the files. http://www.stuffit.com/mac/index.html Once you've installed Stuffit, you should be able to...

    who uses cubase?

    Hey, Cubase IS a sequencer, both audio and MIDI. A little history: Cubase started out as a 24 track MIDI sequencer on the Commodore 64 back in the 80's, moved to Atari, then Mac, then PC. Initially it only did MIDI because computers and hard drives weren't fast enough to handle audio. When...

    what specs would i need to record via pc?

    Hey, If someone is starting out I always suggest that they go the software route for a bunch of reasons: 1. Cheaper than hardware. 2. Often more powerful than hardware, this depends on the speed of your machine. 3. Soft synths integrate with most sequencers. 4. POWER in composing...

    Introduction \ Webspace needed

    Hey, I'll second that! I couldn't believe how much easier, faster and more efficient Soundclick was than MP3.com, for both the artist and users wanting to hear tracks. Nick

    Just Wondering (MPC)

    Hey, While Cool Edit is a fine editor, it does lack in the ability to transfer files to a sampler across SCSI. There are programs which will do this: Recycle is probably the most straight forward, then Sound Forge is probably the most powerful. Wavelab as well... You could also try Wave...

    MPC 3000 - MIDI - Control

    Hey, Hahaha!! Don't sweat it, all you have to do is program 3 small messages into your sequence, with practice you'll be able to do it in less than a minute. Something I forgot about...why not just save all your patches into a Multisetup? That way, when you turn your gear on, you choose...
