    Commentary on two albums

    Hey, The Lyricist Lounge Tour 2002 w/ Scarface and Eric Sermon was, well, CANCELLED. I showed up at the club in Scottsdale and couldn't find the place because all the lights had been turned off. I finally parked my car and started walking around the area to find it, I finally came across...

    yamaha AN1 synth

    Hey, ANYTHING is worth buying at the right price. Don't pay more than $500 US for it, you can get more powerful synths at that price new nowadays. If I remember correctly, it is Yamaha's answer to the Nord Lead 1 and Roland JP-8000, it is a virtual analogue, 6 or 8 voices, 2 part multi...

    Question on definitions

    Hey, A little bit screwed, yes, but the label got screwed the most out of anyone because their investors were sent to jail and the label were left with all these bills! They only owe me something like $1000, but there are other artists who had way more success than me who were owed much...

    Question on definitions

    Hey, Or else the label's major source of investment gets nailed by the DA for internet fraud and tax evasion, so they pack up shop and move to England, where they get screwed by another label in a partnership, then move to Miami and run their shop out of someone's house, leaving a trail of...

    Newbie Intro

    Hey, You know what, I don't remember if he had the 6.1 or 6.0 version...I think they were just about to release the 7 or 8 model, so the 6's were being blown out. I remember one really cool thing about it, you could burn these PCMCIA cards from your computer and use them as your PCM...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, Yeah, that MPC 4000 looks really sweet, a nice little alternative to a full-blown studio. It's all sorts of neat stuff like a burner, integration with a computer for sample/program and sequence editing, 2 or 4 gigs of stock sounds so you can make tunes straight out of the box...and a...

    Commentary on two albums

    Hey, http://www.countrythunder.com :where my peeps like to get the low down before they get they ho down. Do they let white people into hip hop shows? I remember Eric Sermon from when I was a kid in EPMD, I used to like their videos on Yo MTV Raps, they were smooth and they didn't look...

    Newbie Intro

    Hey, Nice to meet you. That's so awesome, you've got some old cheap gear and you're learning it, I'll bet your music will be really good. The MMT8 is legendary in the techno world, bands like Orbital still use them for live gigs. They're small, easy to use, and reliable. A friend had a...

    what machine should i buy

    Hey, That's what I'm talking about! Make your own sounds from scratch! mbiafb, that's awesome that you learned how to make a kick drum with a sine wave and envelope. If you get more creative, you can do stuff like generate white noise, filter it, shape it and make snares and hats too...this...

    Has anyone used "Pure Phatt" soundfont cd?

    Hey, You can reproduce the basic sound of any PCM module, this is how sample cd's work. The real art is being able to reproduce the programability (sp?) and the effects of the module. You'll notice that when you buy a sample cd, the sounds come in all sorts of formats. EMU format will...

    What softwares do you use

    Hey, It's good to see that someone has an opinion! I've used all three wave editors extensively in my work over the past 4 years, I've chosen Cool Edit for the following reasons: 1. You can work in the spectral view. Both Wavelab and Sound Forge have spectral views, but they don't offer...

    schools of sound recording

    Hey, What do you hope to acheive by attending such a school? Briellz seems to have a good sense of direction and picked a course which will suit his needs. Beware, though: there are plenty of people who get degrees from these places and end up working at Guitar Center by day selling drums...

    Commentary on two albums

    Hey, I'm not saying that they don't have hip hop here...but maybe these two words will help describe the scene: Country Thunder. It's a four day festival of country music, roping, tobacco chewing, and dust. There is nothing like that for hip hop here in the valley. Power 92 is the...

    Has anyone used "Pure Phatt" soundfont cd?

    Hey, I bought the 'producer pack' and few years back which had the Proteus 1-3 and MoPhatt disc in it, it was something like $50. The sounds are pretty decent but are about 10+ years old, think of the Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation. If you have a friend, split the difference...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Instant gratification, that sounds about right. To be fair, not everyone has the time, patience or capabilities of learning a slew of samplers, synths, sequencers, OS's, etc., it is so much easier (and fun) to load some sounds into a box and make some tunes. My...

    Commentary on two albums

    Hey, I live in Phoenix AZ, country music is HUGE here. Not with the kids, but with the adults who have lots of money and like to buy cd's. Plus all the country festivals, bars, etc., it's probably not a bad industry to get into. Although I personally don't care for country music, I really...

    Question on definitions

    Hey, Yes, and it is the BIGGEST headache. We're dealing with these guys who haven't finished high school, have something like 5 children (all with different mothers), they've been to prison for aggrivated assault or theft, we have to pick them up and take them home from recording sessions...

    What softwares do you use

    Hey, Why? Because of all different software's poor RAM management, conflicts with drivers and hardware, power surges, corrupt files, etc. There isn't a single piece of software on the market today that won't crash. It may not crash on your computer, but it will crash on someone else's...
