    A hardware alternative to the MPC

    Rip, You've got an A3000? I've always secretly desired an A4000 or 5000, but they're no longer in production and I'm not too sure about using a sampler that isn't supported anymore...have you used other samplers like Emu's or Akai's, and how do they compare to your A3000? Take care...

    A hardware alternative to the MPC

    Mpc2000xl

    Canadians, If you buy stuff from American online resellers like American Music Supply, Samash, Zzounds, Musician's Friend, etc., do you have to pay VAT or duty tax? How about eBay? Take care, The Americans

    Something to think about...

    Hey, Go to university in Arizona, they'll practically give you a new car if you're a minority, even if your grades aren't as good as the next guy's. DIVERSITY!! But it works against you if you're Asian, especially if you're trying to get into engineering or medical school... Take care...

    problems with fruityloops and midi

    Hey, Which card are you using? I think that all modern soundcards are SB compatible, it was a standard Creative Labs created about 10 years ago that other manufacturers followed after the success of the SB16. I'm a Cubase user of 5+ years, I've always had to get ASIO drivers from the card...

    problems with fruityloops and midi

    Hey, HaZwaiOh, did I hear you correctly that Reason makes ASIO drivers for soundcards? This is not a normal practice, it's more common for soundcard manufacturers to write the drivers because they know the card inside and out. Also, the blame lays on the card manufacturer instead of the...

    sp 303

    Hey, Not everyone can afford to get an MPC, make the SP303 your bitch until it dies, then when you get and MPC you'll be that much better with it. It sounds like the 303 is exporting the files in a proprietary format that only it (and Roland) knows how to read. You could try opening the...

    The difference between PC's and samplers....

    Hey, You can get drum pads and knobs that not only emulate the ones found on hardware, but they can be programmed to control sequencers like Cubase and other hardware synths. Even Akai is feeling the heat, they are about to release software versions of their hardware samplers and they have...

    Sample editing software?

    Hey, The BEST wave editor in my opinion is Cool Edit. It's cheaper than the other guys, it has more powerful editing features than the other guys, and it has great DSP effects. And a multitrack. But don't trust my word for it, ask anyone else here what they use... Some other wave...

    makin the vocals tight as hell

    Hey, Because Cubase and Halion are about $900 together and a pain to use, FL is about $100 and really easy. Take care, Nick

    Copenhagen, are girls in Denmark really THAT beautiful?

    Hey, I've lived in the US, England and France, plus visited all sorts of countries around Europe and took in a LOT of the sites... I was the most impressed with the girls in Germany. Not the pure white Germans, I mean the girls who were half German/Turkish! My God, maybe I was just horny...

    Something to think about...

    Hey, And what if my good friend Peter Green, who is from Nebraska, moves to India and gets citizenship....would he be an American Indian? And what if my good friend Avarae John, who is from the Navaho reservation in northern Arizona, decides to move in with Peter Green in India and gets...

    makin the vocals tight as hell

    Hey, You don't! If it were easy to make a $50 mic sound like a $5000 mic, do you think those mics would still be used? Nick

    Something to think about...

    Hey, So, if my friend Angus Arseculeratne, who is from India, finally gets his American citizenship...can we call HIM and American Indian? Or maybe an Indian American? How about in England, where people from India/Pakistan are simply called 'Asians'? Hmmmmmm......

    Man that dude from Luxembourg is straight up ghetto

    Hey, Are you talking about Oakland? Weren't they trying to teach ebonics as an official dialect of American English there about 10 years ago? Nick

    Kicking it VIP

    Hey, If you haven't already, you should go to that site and read some of the pages, we were pissing ourselves laughing at some of the stuff the author wrote. The entire site is a big joke about 'kicking it VIP' and all the other Vanilla Ice-isms that became the butt of many jokes. Nick

    Mike Tyson

    Hey, I met Tyson when I worked at the airport in Phoenix a few years ago. He's really short and doesn't look like much in person because his entourage are physically larger than he is. Hey, I think he's actually YAWNING in that picture...he's probably tired after a hard day of community...

    What other kinds of music do you listen to ?

    Hey, It was a steady diet of Journey, Metallica and Slayer. And Iron Maiden in the 80's. In the 90's it was Joy Division and New Order, then moved on to techno. I hear some of you laughing at Slayer! You know the Public Enemy track 'She Watch Channel Zero' on It Takes a Nation of...
