    Blade Runner

    Hey, I noticed that Fade's avatar is Rutger Hauer, he was the 'bad guy' in the sci-fi classic from 1982, Blade Runner, with Harrison Ford. If you haven't seen this movie, it should be watched; the special effects look fresh even by today's standards. No cgi, just clever props and...

    ATTENTION regular headphone users

    Hey, Afrique Deluxe brings up an important point: people sometimes listen to music too loud, and this can cause tinnitus. Tinnitus is a condition of the ear caused by overexposure to loud audio, such as music.Symptoms are persistant ringing, buzzing, chirping, hissing in the ear. You...

    Does anyone have an Emu ultra sampler?

    Hey, I just got an Emu e6400 Ultra, I'm curious about how to set it up with my computer. I gather that you can control its parameters with either Sound Diver or EOS Link and transfer samples to and from your PC through a scsi connection... Has anyone done this before? I would like to...

    Performing live?

    Hey, The hip hop act I produce played live once in a bar, here's how we set it up: 1. I made mixes of our tracks without vocals and some of the synth parts, burned them to cd, and played them on a cd player through the stage mixer. 2. I brought up a few synths with me for show and...

    Any one Use kurzweil equipment??

    Hey, I've heard many great things about Kurzweil gear, mainly the sounds and DSP stuff is supposed to be amazing. However, it can be a pain in the ass to program your own sounds, and they're very expensive. A coworker has a K2600, I went to play it one day...running through all the presets...

    CD-Rom Drive & Akai S-Series

    Hey, A co worker who uses older Akai samplers wrote this to me: "well, I seem to recall (at least on the older Akais) that they just used standard SCSI Type-I (ie, non-ultra wide)...at least, for their external drives. For internal drives, I thought they used a proprietary 'controller...

    Down South Hi hats

    Hey, YES!!!! The 808 has the 'tickiest' sounds out there. And that cowbell used in 'I like big butts' by Sir Mix a Lot. Take care, Nick

    Down South Hi hats

    Hey, You may need to edit the samples themselves do that they have a very short decay. You didn't mention what you were using for a sound source; if you have a synth, you can shorten the envelopes of the hats to make them sound 'ticky'...if you have a sampler, you can do that as well or edit...

    Down South Hi hats

    Hey, Could you give us an example of 'down south hi hats'? Like the name of a track with some in it? Some of could listen to them and try to figure out how they're made. Take care, Nick

    Good software Synth

    Hey, My personal favorite is Reaktor because there is literally nothing that it cannot do, you can build mixers, eq's, effects, synths, samplers, sequencers, etc. with it. It takes a lot of work to make something totally unique, but the only limitation is the amount of time you put into it...

    ASR 10 Keyboard Vs. Korg Triton?

    Hey, You know what it is, Briellz, is that I changed my Avatar to from the funky monkey to Pinhead, and I'm feeling mighty righteous right now... Where's that bitch Jason?!?! Nick

    ASR 10 Keyboard Vs. Korg Triton?

    Hey, The Triton has 838 PRESETS...you can't just expect to buy a synth and have it make the beats for you! If you don't like the presets, make your own; the OS and touch screen interface is why you paid around $2000 for it, I can assure you that the sounds on it are no better than the...

    A little history on the MPC60

    Hey, http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/mpc60.shtml http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/museum.shtml This is a link to the MPC60 and other drum machines from the site of their inventor, Roger Linn. He just made a new machine called the Adrenalinn, it's a combo drum...

    Cubase...

    Hey, You're on a Mac? Your options: Cubase/Nuendo Digital Performer Logic Metro Pro Tools My personal preference is Cubase because I've been using it for so long, but I'm sure the others are just as good. Programs like Logic and Digital Performer will have a very similar feature...

    Sample Rich, Or Sample Less

    Hey, Killah has a good point. A lot of tracks, especially by some of the big boys like Puff Daddy and Will Smith, use samples of established hits, such as Cashmere and Every Breath You Take; the labels pay a licensing fee for a single sample which is relatively small to the payoff they get...

    ASR 10 Keyboard Vs. Korg Triton?

    Hey, Remember that guys in the 80's were making tracks with only drum machines and old samplers which have less processing power than the remote control for your tv's today...I don't think that anyone here will debate that these tracks were innovative and very good. There is a problem with...

    Common & The Roots... Your Thoughts

    Hey, I don't know who Common is, but I do own a copy of the Roots live album recorded 2-3 years ago. That album is amazing, I couldn't believe how good a live perfomance could be for hip hop, everyone played their instruments so well... Nick

    Mr. Rogers is dead

    Hey, I learned how to tell time because of Mr. Rogers...when the little hand reached the '4' on the clock, my mom would let us turn the tv on and watch Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. He was the only celebrity besides Gilligan to wear Vans deck shoes on tv. It will be a sad day in the...

    problems with fruityloops and midi

    STOP!!!!!!! Ieetplayer, it has nothing to do with your Oxygen 8, it's because of the drivers on your soundcard. What card are you using? Cue Labs, in Fruity Loops you have to use ASIO drivers for whatever card you have or else there will be the 500ms delay. If the Santa Cruz doesn't come...
