    Using the sounds from vsts with a mpc

    ^^^^Huh? you can? I guess you can, but, in my mind (correct me if i'm wrong) you have two main choices: 1- Record the vst sounds and maping them on the mpc pad 2- use the mpc as a midi controller and use it through a software like Cubase or FL Studio (one that accepts the VST you...

    How do you know your beat is hot?

    I'll say that it's really hard to tell, for someone who just started, cuz, when you just started, everything sounds hot. I think that every producer goes through progression phases (I dont have a better word to describe it...) You get to a certain level after a couple of experimentations and you...

    What can I get

    And do you want to go the hardware way (using hardware as sequencer to make your overall work), or you're just asking? And for how long have you been doing this? (yes, it is important...)

    ^^^^Exactly what I'm saying!!! Sometimes, I have a sound and, by default, it streches the sample when I put it in FL Studio... Can we take that option off?

    How can i disable Time Stretch?

    I got a similar question... but I think that's what the guy is asking... When I load a sample that got loop points, it automatically stretches the shit out of it, and I got to kill that every time... and also, when I'm browing through my sample browser, it does the same thing when i want to...

    i'm having trouble making basslines

    Low end theory is using a low end filter (or an EQ) on a sample so you have have only the bass and layering it to the sample... making it thicker and fuller.

    Drums first?

    I'll repeat what most people said... It depends on the type of beat you're doing and what's your inspiration of the moment. For my part, I usually start with the drums, but that's because I'm a drummer... and even then I'll lay down the basic melody (bass or soemthing else...) I have in my...
