My New Sound Card
Today I bought a new sound card. I went to Best Buy and copped an Audigy SE. This was to be a quick fix, but hey.... I like how it sounds. Anybody else using one? -

Acid Users
I find myself arguing and defending my choice of sequencer almost daily. A "friend" that deal with on the regular says that ACID is not a REAL sequencer.... I say BULLSHIT!!! I would Like to find out how many producers/beatmakers here use ACID and which version. -

ACID Music Studio 6
I just dowloaded it 3 days ago. It runs better than my 5 Pro. It doesn't bog down & freeze when I use my plug ins and it supports VST's. The only drawback I have encountered is that you can't create busses. -
Common's CD Is Not That Hot To Me
I listened to his new release today and I really didn't go for the production. It sounds like "juiced up" R&B. (except for "Corners") His lyrics are superb, though. I think his best CD's were... (1) "Ressurection" (2) "Like Water..." (3) "Can I Borrow A Dollar" Those selections...- joeburnem

Does Anyone Fully Utilize The Waves Bundles
Man! I don't know where to begin with some of the plug ins. I only use like 4 of the plugs... MaxxBass, RCompressor, Reverb and ultramax. The rest of that stuff is beyond me. What the hell is a PAZ ?!! -
My New Killer Trio
I 've finally got Live 4 working properly and I have to say... this shit is tight! I now create my tracks with ACID. Then mix and EQ in Live. The touch up my mix in WaveLab (another program I have slept on). What's your combo? -
Headphone Mixing
Is it possible to consistantly get good mixes by using headphones instead of monitors? I tried it for the first time today. My mix levels were nice but needed extra eq'ing. -
ACID & Pro Tools Question
I have tried to do some research on this but could find no answer. (I have always used hardware, this my first time in a real recording studio recording tacks created with software) If I wanted to record at a studio using the Pro tools system... Can my ACID... -

Ableton Live
Well I'm messing with Live again! And I have a question: Is there a way to insert a bus so I can group certain sounds? -
I'm A Lazy $%#@
I Hate Making Drum Patterns It's gettin' to a point where I hate making drum tracks. I'm using the hell out my breaks and looped beats. Drums are essential but hey you can only do but so much.<ARGUMENT? Hell, 85% of all the tracks we like.... USE THE SAME FREAKIN' DRUMS OVER AND OVER. When... -
Cleaning My Dirty Sound Up
As I get deeper into my beats, I think I'm liking the cleaner sound more and more these days. You might have noticed me saying shit like "crisp" or "sharp" a whole lot lately. I've been checking out Dr. Dre's and some other west coast producers' beats. "Less is best"! I am gonna stop... -
What Am I Missing By Not Using Pro Tools?
First off I can't use it because I have XP as an OS, right? I hear catz like The Mucka and a few others swear by it. I get really confused by the whole system! One dude I talked with said a PT system would run me many thousands of dollars, is this true? He also said it will be(or is) the... -
Which is Quicker?
Which can you make a beat on quicker? Pc or Hardware? Most cats will probably say PC but I think I move faster with hardware? I'll have incomplete beats sitting in a file for weeks. I get another idea and switch to that! With that hardware what I start I finish. I don't have to draw out my... -

I love Nas, almost as much Guevara, lol. 1. I think "It Was Written" was the best album I ever heard... PERIOD! He got jerked with that 4 mics shit. From start to finish I was speechless. The colabos were on point and production , TIGHT! I liked it more than "Illmatic" I guess cause it...- joeburnem
