    PG13, Check out this link: https://www.illmuzik.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=527 Software IS a great tool, it's cheap and it offers a lot more flexibility. However, if you already have the MPC and you're used to the way it works, you should at least keep it around until you...

    Reply to fade's article

    Fade and co., It seems to be a constant here that someone's lyrics are 'whack'...I've listened to plenty of hip hop over the past few months and honestly I cannot tell the difference between good or bad lyrics. I take that back: I liked the lyrics from older Eric B. and Rakim tracks...

    Some guy, It's a modular synth, it's the kind of synths that people bought when synths first came out in the 60's. Each of those little black boxes are purchased separately, and you connect them to other black boxes with patch (guitar) cables. Each box costs around $200. The system in...

    Hey, You should have had your producer hook you up with the kid... It tells you in the SX manual how to route audio from Reason into the Cubase mixer. Once in the mixer, you can add the Cubase inserts and sends to your Reason tracks. If it's too much of a pain to do that, you could...

    How many of you actually write your own songs?

    Killah, I write tracks from scratch. A lot of times I'll listen to something and try to figure out how it was put together, and in the process I come up with something I never would have done if I had started dry. Although I don't rip complete songs off like Puff Daddy, I've been known to...

    Turntablists cum Producers

    Hey, I've noticed that most of the better producers in anything electronic like techno or hip hop have all started out learning their craft on a pair of turntables and mixer. How important is it that people first learn how to mix records, beat juggle, scratch, etc. on turntables before...

    Makin Snares Crisp

    Hey, I read somewhere that a marketing company used a wave editor like Cool Edit or Sound Forge to test the 'crispness' of vegetables..what they did was break fresh vegetables, record the sounds they made, then looked at the sounds in the spectral view of the editors. The vegetables that...

    Do you know how to take out the vocal of a track?

    Hey, This will work ONLY if: 1. the song was recorded in stereo 2. the vocal is panned dead center and everything else is panned hard left and hard right. 3. the vocals weren't run through any sort of stereo effect, like a reverb or delay. In your wave editor you will have to invert one...

    which would u recommend !?

    Mark, Of those three I would choose the Tascam/Cubasis combo because I am a fan of Cubase and you get a 4-channel controller with the Tascam. Next I would choose the MBox, but only because Focusrite makes the preamps (they are supposed to be a very good company for doing this). I am not a...

    Barock, I agree 100% about getting techno in 'real' spots, but at the time (1994) I didn't know anything about picking up the underground stuff. WOM had some great cd's when I went there, I picked up some older Harthouse and Bonzai compilations which at the time was completely unheard of...

    Opinions on software samplers

    Hey, We got a copy of Kontakt at work and I've been playing around with it a little, it seems like a really nice program and I may be interested in getting a copy. However, I know that there are other soft samplers out there, I wanted to ask if anyone here uses them and why they chose that...
