    sup everybody

    Hey, The 'reason' why no one's ever heard of the software is because you live in the midwest :D Welcome aboard! There's another guy here who makes samples by recording drops of water and pitching them across his keyboard, you and he should get together and make a track. Take care...

    Roland's new workstation

    Hey, A little over two grand for the smaller version: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030427124313068099195194381130/g=key/search/detail/base_id/103733 http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemID=25276&TempID=3...

    Dr. Dre synth alert!!!

    Hey, It hasn't taken away anyone's freedom, they don't prevent artists from saying what they want or studios from releasing the albums. It's just a warning saying that some of the content may be objectionable. Some stores here will ask for ID if you try to buy anything with the stickers...

    Dr. Dre synth alert!!!

    Hey, In Dre's defense, I believe that sometimes those stickers actually sell albums. Do you guys remember all the hype back in the late 80's-early 90's when the whole PMRC thing started? Artists like NWA and Ice T got a WHOLE bunch of free publicity because of their exposure on TV! It's...

    how much difference does a good sound card make?

    Hey, Something else to consider is that most of the better cards have drivers written for them that offer features that the consumer cards don't, such as low latency softsynth playback and software monitoring. If you're using a program like Cool Edit it probably won't matter because they...

    Dr. Dre synth alert!!!

    Hey, If you do a search for 'Dr. Dre' and 'Coors Light' on the net, you will come across sites from which you can download mpg copies of the first commercial Dre did on an airplane with an MPC!! Take care, Nick

    Prescription Drugs

    Hey, I see you live in NYC...if you ever make your way down to the dirty southwest, you can cross the border into Mexico and have a field day at the pharmacies. I know lots of people who buy all sorts of controlled drugs like antibiotics, pain killers, mood controllers, etc. I'm sure you can...

    Dr. Dre synth alert!!!

    Hey, I think it is...maybe it is part of a series? In the one I saw, they're driving through what looks like rows of corn, like in the middle of Iowa. I only paid attention to the commercial because I saw the little studio in the bus, next time I see it I'll pay more attention. Take care...

    Dr. Dre synth alert!!!

    Hey, There's a new Coors commercial where some rapper guy is on a tour bus, they're cruising around in some fields, and they pick up Dr. Dre who is hitchhiking.... If you look closely, you will see that one of the synths on the bus is none other than a Yamaha Motif!! Take care, Nick

    Different types of synthesis

    Hey, More things to make you go 'what the hell is he talking about?!?!?' In a previous post we talked about different types of instruments: acoustic, analogue and digital. Most of us have a pretty good grasp of what an acoustic sound source is: anything that vibrates and causes the...

    Acoustic, analogue and digital

    Hey, Wow, a lot more answers than I expected! Here is a REALLY simplified definition of the three: Acoustic - describing an instrument that doesn't need electricity or electronics to generate its sounds. Example: a drum kit, saxaphone, piano. Analogue - describing an instrument that...

    Old school hip hop vinyls

    Hey, I used to live in London, it was the BEST place for old 2nd hand stuff! Reckless Records on Berwick St (just off Oxford St.), and a bunch right outside the Notting Hill Gate tube station, they have them all grouped by genre. Manchester also had a bunch of 2nd hand shops, but I...

    Yamaha a4000/5000 sampler blowout

    Hey, They have a Samash credit card which will give you interest-free payments for 1 year. If you apply for the card and get a line of credit, you can buy one and make slow payments for a year...just make sure you pay it off, else you will be forced to pay 20% interest for the entire value of...

    Where do formants occur in nature?

    Hey, I think that a formant is just a group of several frequency regions at predefined amplitudes which sound like vowels. You can make an 'eeee' sound in Cool Edit by generating 3 sine waves at 270hz/0dB, 2300hz/-15dB, and 3000hz/-9dB and mixing them together (make sure the file is a 32...

    Mac Users

    Hey, Don't go near that thing for music. 1. There are no PCI slots. 98% of all audio cards sit in the PCI slot. If you get this machine, you will be stuck with its crappy integrated card, or else you will be stuck with getting a USB or Firewire card, which frankly don't always do exactly...

    Hey, There is a tutorial about looping and session tempos on the Syntrillium's site, they'll do a better job of explaining it than me... http://forums.syntrillium.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5903 http://www.loopology.com/createloops.html http://www.loopology.com/usingloops.html Take care...
