    Vitamin Man

    Hey, You guys are gonna hate me... I've been into music all my life, my first tape was Frontiers by Journey back in '83 when I was in the 3rd grade. I picked up the sax in the 5th grade and have been making music ever since. In '91 I went to visit some friends in France, we went...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Remember, the Neptunes are not popular because they have all this gear, they are popular because they have talent. They could make a decent sounding track with a Big Mac, paperclip and hairbrush. And a tape recorder. Take care, Nick

    Vocal Mics

    Hey, THE vocal mic is the Neuman U-87...I don't know if it is the BEST mic, but it's one that you hear a lot of on modern records. It will cost you a pretty penny... Nick

    Korg Triton Studio or MPC4000 ?????<>?????

    Hey, Fame_keyz has it right, forking out a lot of cash isn't going to make your music any better. That comes with talent and knowledge of your equipment. The MPC 4000 has stuff in it a newbie wouldn't have a clue about, like being able to make your programs and manage banks from a...

    I'm a cheap bastard, I know

    Hey, www.propellerheads.se You can purchase it from them, it comes with the program, 3 disks of sounds, and a manual. Take care, Nick

    Gigastudio160....

    Hey, You risk doing weird things to your computer by loading cracks...I used to use a crack of Cubase a few years ago until the day it decided to disable all my MIDI ports so that no other apps could see them. As soon as I reinstalled Windows and bought a legit copy, I've never had the...

    Hey, NOTHING beats the flexibility, scaleability, price and power of a PC, but nothing beats the stability of hardware. Take care, Nick

    Whats up

    Hey, If you already have a sampler, just buy sample cd's...they're cheaper than sound modules and it's one less thing to learn how to program, you just load them into your sampler and voila. However, I don't think that the MPC comes with effects (correct me if I'm wrong), this is a big...

    MIDI Keyboards

    Hey, I use the Oxygen8 at work and at home when I'm not in my 'real' studio, usually downstairs watching tv. No, you cannot transfer sounds to it...think of it like a keyboard for a computer: by itself it does absolutely squat, but as soon as you plug it into the back of your CPU you can...

    ASR 10 Keyboard Vs. Korg Triton?

    Hey, If money is not an object, get the Triton: it comes with sounds, effects, and a resonant filter. Last time I checked, the ASR-10 didn't. Nick

    Why Do so many "Real Hiphop" heads diss keyboard beats?

    Hey, Uhhh, the clowns who say that making beats using a 'keyboard' are ignorant idiots. Sounds are either acoustic, analogue or digital: acoustic would be mic'ed guitars and drums, analogue would be some old synth with analogue oscillators, digital covers samplers and most modern synths...

    Piano Notes

    Hey, Tapesmith won't have a clue what to do with Sibelius or Finale if he can't figure out notes himself! Those programs are for score printing and arrangements, not for teaching people how to play/read music. Nick

    Mtl's diggin spot

    Hey, The BEST place in the world for finding 2nd hand vinyl is in London England. There's about 4 good shops on Berwick Street and a few good ones outside the Notting Hill Gate tube station, there's such a healthy vinyl culture there, you're bound to find SOMETHING. Nick

    schools of sound recording

    Hey, I meant absolutely no disrespect to you or your school. In fact, I applaud you for making a go for it! I wonder, though, how all the staff there got to be involved with the music industry for so many years...did they go to school as well? I see that one of them went to Berklee, what...

    yamaha AN1 synth

    Hey, It's a synthesizer that uses digital chips to emulate old analogue oscillators, filters, and other modulation sources like envelopes and LFO's to create new sounds from scratch. What's nice about this that it is supposed to sound more like an older synth like a Moog or old Roland...

    schools of sound recording

    Hey, Prophet, I think, is right in saying that 'it's not WHAT you know, but WHO you know', people's music doesn't get signed and airplay because of their talent necessarily, but because the label bosses get involved in shady deals with the radio stations (who are owned by big companies who...
