    Commentary on two albums

    Hey, If I moved down to the intelligence of the population majority, I would be making country music. Nick

    Question on definitions

    Hey, I was never really sure what the difference between a programmer, engineer, producer and executive producer were because for years I was covered all the roles in my little studio, I'm sure that a lot of us here do the same. But after doing some reading about the industry and watching...

    what machine should i buy

    Hey, Prophet brings up the point that I was trying to make with my original post, that people can find cheaper and more powerful solutions than just running out and buying the hardware sampler/sequencers, but because of marketing hype and the tendancy for the hip-hop community to simply...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, I've got an Oxygen8 as well, that thing is so awesome and useful. I dare anyone to show me another controller that is as small and can transmit notes, velocity and controllers as easily as this little guy...it runs on batteries and USB power, you can program the knobs to send whatever...

    What softwares do you use

    Hey, I've been pretty lucky with my CEP20 then, it only crashes on me every once in a while. 1.2a was pretty solid, I suspect that once Syntrillium get a patch released it will be better than the .0 version. Come to think of it, EVERYTHING crashes every once in a while, including XP and...

    Cakewalk

    Hey, HOURS?!?!?!?!??!?!??! Don't you mean months or years? I've been playing with Cubase for almost 5 years now, and I'm still learning! How does Sonar work? Like this: 1. It records MIDI, it plays MIDI, and with it you can edit MIDI. 2. It records audio, it plays audio, and with...

    What softwares do you use

    Prophet, Thanks for the reply. I use Cool Edit because it has both the waveform editor and the multitrack in the same program, it makes it really easy for making beats or quickly tracking a project. It also allows me to work on files in the spectral view which is great for 'seeing'...

    reverb

    Prophet, I'll have to listen more closely to Tu-Pac then. I ran a vocal track through one of the pitch-shifters on my DSP Factory and it sounded identical to Tu-Pac, so I assumed that they did something similar. I didn't shift it a fifth or anything (it would have sounded totally...

    Triton

    Hey, People like the Triton because it is a one-stop solution for making tunes. It has an integrated sequencer, multitrack recorder, sampler, PCM synth, plus a weighted or semi-weighted keyboard which is good for performers. You can burn cd's with it, import different sample formats (Akai...

    What softwares do you use

    Hey, Briellz: I apologise, my post made me look like an ass, I should have phrased is like this: For those of you who use software, especially those of you who use Cool Edit , what features in the software have made you decide to use it instead of using a similar software such as...

    What softwares do you use

    Hey, Come on Briellz, give me a REAL answer if you're going to reply... Why do YOU use it? Have you even tried Sound Forge? Wavelab? Samplitude? Vegas? Nick

    reverb

    Hey, Hmmmm...I've been listening to a lot of newer rap recently, it doesn't seem like a lot of it has any reverb in it at all, rather there is a lot of double-tracking and clever editing. Since the point of a rap music is to bring the vocals right to the front of the track, it would be...

    Chillout - Acid Jazz

    Hey, Not 'traditional' acid jazz, but Portishead and Massive Attack sometimes got lumped in with the genre for using slow and dirty beats and laid back music. Nick

    What softwares do you use

    Hey, I see that a lot of people use Cool Edit here, there is even a tutorial on how to chop up beats in it. I'm a Cool Edit user as well, but most of my friends are into Soundforge. Why do so any people here use Cool Edit? Is it especially good for hip hop music? Is it cheap? Does anyone...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, I got mine off ebay for $500, including the Holy Grail and Techno cards...the guy nust have not known what he was selling! It's got great sounds, especially the drums. Most of the time I rip cd's and chop up my beats in Cool Edit, but for deep bassy kicks and weird percussive sounds...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, Turning down the low-pass filter will have the same effect as resampling it at a lower sample rate, if you get rid of some of the bits it will add noise to it, the same kind of noise that the 12-bit convertors on the 1200 add to their sounds. Man, you lived WAY out there, I'm in the...
