    Proteus 2000???

    Hey, I'm gonna step on some toes here... The Proteus 2000 is probably the best bang for buck out there. For about $500 you get 32mb of sounds plus the ability to expand it with the ROM from their MP-7, the big purple box RZA used in some of his productions...

    Harmonizing Samples?

    Hey, You need a pitch shifter, a popular one is Auto Tune by Antares. It will work with most sequencers/editor. Serato I believe only works in Pro Tools, I hear that it is very good. Take care, Nick

    vst's on protools?

    Hey, I'll save you the trouble... NO. You have to use those designed specifically for PT, unless there is something called a 'wrapper' which will translate VST stuff into something which PT can understand. Take care, Nick

    *somebody Tell Me!*

    Hey, Call the radio station. Most stations keep a list of tracks or at least know what's been played by looking at their playlist. Tell them the day and approximate time you heard the track, they may be able to look it up. Take care, Nick

    What program should I buy?

    Hey, Are you running a PC or Mac? Each platform has different options: you cannot run DP or Logic on a PC, you cannot run Cool Edit or Sonar on a Mac. PT and Cubase I think will run on either machine. Take care, Nick

    DIFFERENT hardware/software question

    Hey, I have yet to find any software which can replace sound modules for their ease of use and versatility, I think the only one is Sampletank and you need a pretty beefy machine to run it. Most software synths are analogue emulators or hybrids, you'll have a hard time finding something...

    Gear Advice For a High School Hip Hop Club

    Hey, 1. If you possibly can, stick with PC's. They're cheaper, they run almost any program, and they're just as good as Macs. Sure, the G5 is a nice machine, but you will probably never even come close to tapping its full potential if all you're doing is making tracks with students. 2...

    Hey, Setup Redrum to receive only on channel 1 and setup the MPD to transmit on channel 1...setup the synths to receive on channel 2 (or any other channel) and the keyboard to transmit on channel 2(or any other channel). Take care, Nick

    Rack Or keyboard

    Hey, Most companies make two versions of their synths: a keyboard version and a rack version. You should only buy the keyboard version if you don't already have a keyboard controller. If you do have a controller, get the rack version. Take care, Nick

    Akai MPD16 alternative

    Hey, Yeah, that thing is OLD. Pretty nice little box, but you can get much nicer ones nowadays, I don't think the Launch Pad is even in production anymore. Take care, Nick

    synths (urban feel type)

    Hey, The MC2000 is a virtual analogue synth, it makes whatever sounds you want it to (provided you want to make analogue sounds). Think of the squealing lead sound that Dre used in the early 90's... Mcrob, you'll probably want to get something like a sound module which has drums, basses...

    Delta 10/10 Soundcard

    Hey, I have a 1010, it is a very nice card, it sounds great and has drivers for all the major programs (ASIO, DX). Plus, it fits nicely in your rack and looks the business. You can record 96khz/24 bit with it definitely a 'pro' card. Take care, Nick

    Roland Synths Or Racks

    Hey, I own both the 2080 and the 5050, they're both awesome machines for whatever you do. You'd better get a copy of Sound Diver to program them though, or else you'll be stuck using the presets or programming them from the front panels. The 2080 has a big screen on it which makes progamming a...

    Emagic Sounddiver

    Hey, I've been using SD for many many years now...you need to have two way communication in order to use it. The way SD works is by requesting all the patch information from your synth and storing it on your computer, then when you make an edit it sends the info to your synth. When the synth...
