    Audio Interface Question!

    The C1 has a better diaphragm and is better built. You can hear it the second you try a C1. IDK Man I still think the good old SM57 is the best first mic choice. :)

    Audio Interface Question!

    DONT GET A 58!!! So much better stuff for the price these days. The B1 is ok, but I would probably pick a 57 over it. Personally I like to get quality gear that will hold its resell value and last a long long time. So many of those cheap condenser mics are all built in the same factory it doesnt...

    Audio Interface Question!

    hmm man if I only had $150 I would get a mic like an SM57 and save the $50 for a nicer $300 mic. The 57 you will use all the time, will last and is decent quality. Those low end condenser mics just suck. Unless you can save another $100 and get a studio projects C1 for $250 those are amazing for...

    Audio Interface Question!

    Well I'm a former sweetwater employee so I would recommend them :) No you do not need a mixer at all. Hmm as far as a mic what type of vocals? Just an emcee? Personally I'm not a big fan of AT mic's but that's pretty subjective as some very well respected people swear by them. To my ears they...

    Audio Interface Question!

    Well the old mboxes sucked real bad, but the latest one is actually great. Out of the list you gave the focusrite is going to be the best option with presonus as a close second. I have actually used pretty much every interface on the market so feel free to ask away :)

    Edm Bass

    oh man synth sound design is a DEEP field that is lots of fun, but takes time and practice. If you want to start making EDM I would say spend the next week listening to as much of it as you can and start to get a feel for what you like and don't like. Personally I feel that EDM is like hip-hop...

    Reason vs Ableton

    Yea you need to get reason 6 or higher to record audio. The upgrade is only $130 that seems pretty reasonable. Live suite is out there in torrent form.

    Reason vs Ableton

    Yea if your samples sound thin then get better samples. Both reason and ableton can sound equally good. I personally prefer mixing in Reason hands down (only ver 6 and up when they added the SSL mixer) I would totally agree with Bugsy that Ableton makes complicated things easier, thats a great...

    Reason vs Ableton

    Well why are you thinking of switching to and what version do you have now? Bot are amazing programs. And if reason didn't exist I would be all ableton. I personally like reasons sequencer a bit better, but I like how ableton chops samples better. I like all the cv routing and sound design you...

    How do you back up your music files?

    I have 1tb of storage for free with copy.com and I store all of my work there. Then I also backup to backblaze. For like $5 a month. So I have double cloud back ups.

    Twitter buying SoundCloud?

    @Sober really you don't like either company? How come? @Khaos the network infrastructure and cost to run soundcloud is really high at 40 million users and 200 million listeners, its tough to get accurate numbers on them but a rule of thumb is that only 1% of your users will pay for the premium...

    Twitter buying SoundCloud?

    Its probably for the best I have a feeling soundcloud has a tough time making money. Of course so does twitter, I will never understand one company buying another and NEITHER one has EVER had a profitable year. I mean I love both of them and use both everyday, but those kind of economics are not...

    oh man this is amazing!

    Trouble on my mind...

    Practice, Practice, Practice. You need to make probably 50-100 beats before you will make anything decent. Just keep at it for the long haul!
