    MPC 3000 - MIDI - Control

    Hey, Step aside, fellas, let the MIDI master take care of this... You will have to program two Bank Change and one Program Change messages into your sequence on the MPC for each sound module patch you want to call up when you play your song. Example (this is simplified): Let's say in...

    Hey, There are several places where you can find a pre-amp with phantom power... 1. A decent mixer. I use a Mackie 1402. 2. A dedicated mic pre-amp. There are lots of different ones out there, ranging from about $60 to a few thousand...

    Different Signatures

    Hey, Yes, I did a techno track a few years ago in 3/4. It sounded cool as hell, but was difficult to mix with other tracks as everything else is in 4/4. Nick

    GoldWave. Is it just me?

    Hey, When I worked for Syntrillium we used to worry a little about Goldwave...it's dirt cheap and has a whole bunch of great features, some of which aren't available in any other softwares. My favorite was the function that allows you to enter math formulas to generate complex waveforms...

    Sample CD's

    Hey, Copenhagen is absolutely right, here's why better cd's cost more: When you play a patch on something like a Triton, there is an awful lot of programming that has gone into making it sound so good. You not only have the basic waveform, but there are also parameter settings for the...

    ***What is the best possible Sample Cd i can Get***

    Hey, I checked out a few sample cd's when I first got into making hip hop music because I figured that a lot of producers were using them...I was very disappointed with the quality of the samples that most companies put out. Basically, you fork out something close to $100 for a bunch of...

    Analog Mixer

    Hey, A buss is used for 'submixing', or putting a series of channels under the control of one fader. Imagine this: You have a mixer with 16 inputs, all of them are being used. Let's say that on channels 1-4 you have a snare, kick, hats and other percussion; channels 5-11 you have an...

    Digital Multitrack Recording Workstations

    Hey, 1. Remember a stereo signal only means that there are two discreet audio paths; you'll have to do some track panning in the MPC for it to sound like a stereo signal, or else everything will be sent to both outputs equally. The adaptor should work provided that it is a real stereo plug...

    Digital Multitrack Recording Workstations

    Hey, Wow, Denmark's a long way from here! I'd better get posting... I'm not sure I understand your questions, I'll do my best... 1. Will you need a stereo input on WHAT exactly? Normally mixers don't have stereo inputs, they have a series of mono inputs which you can pan hard left and...

    2 questions

    Hey, 1. Don't know. Make sure they are direct drive, you'll thank me later. 2. You need to get a pre-amp with phantom power. Explanation: microphones need something to boost the signal before it gets sent into the soundcard, a pre-amp will do this. Condencer mics also need some...

    Analog Mixer

    Hey, I have two Mackie mixers, the 1202 and 1402. Technically they only have 2 busses, but with some clever routing you can get 4 out of it. What I like about the Mackies: 1. They have mic preamps. People say that they sound pretty good for integrated preamps, I've never played with a...

    Producers not getting respect.............

    Hey, Not a whole lot except time will change that. Remember when only black kids from big cities listened to rap while the white kids were all listening to metal? Now look who the hottest artist is today... If people give you grief about it not being 'real' music, tell them that you get...

    Producers not getting respect.............

    Hey, Thought I'd chime in here... It's the same thing in the techno community, everyone thinks that techno music is made BY computers, like someone sits down, turns the gear on, hits the 'Make Club Track' button and it does the rest of the work. It bothered me to no end that people got on...

    If you could....

    Hey, Martin Hannett. I'm sure not a lot of you guys know him, he was an English producer from the late 70's and 80's who put together the two Joy Division albums. He did a lot of field recording stuff with a tape deck and microphone of weird stuff like old rusty elevators and mixed it in with...
