    Vitamin Man

    Hey, Yeah, I write too much. At least it gives people something to read. I only hope that maybe I can help someone out who may otherwise never learn anything, a lot of forums have some snotty people in it...this one looks to be pretty welcoming to everyone of all skill levels. I can say...

    live instruments or samplin- u choose

    Hey, You're going to be spending a lot of time getting frustrated trying to learn all those instruments...I've been playing sax for a LONG time, let me assure you that you cannot simply just pick it up and 'learn', a really nice sounding sax costs an awful lot of money as well. Why not...

    gettin it dirty

    Hey, Record them audio from the Triton REALLY loudly onto a tape player, pour a Coke on the cassette, then resample the cassette on your computer or Triton. Or, do a sample-rate conversion on the file from whatever it is to 22050hz, 8 bits, mono, then squash the hell out if it with a...

    i use only pc's 2 make beats

    Hey, I seriously wish you guys would write in ENGLISH so that everyone else could understand what you're saying...there's a reason why we all go to school and learn how to spell, use commas, etc. Nick PS: Here's a translation of Formant024's post: Both a hardware or PC setup is good...

    Something to think about...

    Hey, We started talking about this at work, I wanted to ask the people here what they thought about it... If you were born and raised in a part of Africa where there was a large European influence (Algeria, Zimbabwe or South Africa, for example), and your ethnic background is ''white'...

    MPC pad controller for computers

    An MPC on your computer Hey, A common theme here at Illmuzik is 'should I use a PC or MPC to make beats', I would like to propose a solution which would fit somewhere in the middle and offer the best of both worlds: The Akai MPD16 is the 16 pad triggering device that the MPC series comes...

    Are you serious?

    Hey, Initially I did it because it was a lot of fun figuring out synths, samplers, computers, etc. , a way to kill time, and to 'show off' whatever tracks I made to impress myself and friends. My eventual goal was to get a few tracks released here and there and see where it took me. I...

    makin' a beat!!!!!!

    Hey, It usually takes a few minutes to come up with a cool riff, but doing all the other stuff that it takes to make something sound good can take days, weeks or months...usually this is spent figuring out which sounds get used, what rythm patterns, chords and which sounds will be used for...

    Good Hardware Synths, Reccomendations?

    Hey, 1. Proteus 2000 if you need a tone module...the samples used on it are very well programmed, there are TONS of drums, and you can expand it with inexpensive PCM ROM cards. http://www.emu.com/products/proteus2000/p2k.html 2. Access Virus C if you need a virtual analogue synth...I...

    I'm a cheap bastard, I know

    Hey, Reason is a virtual studio with synths, drum machines, effects and samplers, the SAME stuff that hip hop producers use. Certainly the presets and the marketing for it is geared towards techno music, but they are the EXACT SAME INSTRUMENTS that hip hoppers use. It is also the same...

    Queestion Of Song Structure

    Hey, In modern hip hop production: 1. 36.6 seconds of some pad while the rapper says stuff like '...uh, UUGGGHH, watchew lookin' at NIGGA killa etc....' 2. 456 measures of a 4-beat loop programmed on the MPC 2000. The better producers use 8 and sometimes 16 beat loops. 3. A 2 minute...

    midi sync

    Hey, I don't know what Pro Tools is capable of doing, but I'm sure that it can sync to something called MTC (MIDI Time Code). 1. Set up the the MPC to transmit MTC as the master. 2. Set up Pro Tools to receive MTC as the slave. 3. Connect a MIDI cable from the MPC MIDI out and plug it...

    more sampler questions...

    Hey, Let's look at the things you'll need to buy for each scenario: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Rack Sampler=$1000 for a nice one with lots of RAM and lots of hard drive space. Sequencer program=$250 for a nice one with lots of MIDI...

    sample cd question

    Hey, You shouldn't convert to mp3, then to wav...you lose detail in the higher frequencies because of the compression that is used to make the mp3 file size smaller. I'll prove it to you: many of you use Cool Edit, it has a powerful tool in it called the Spectral Analysis View which will...
