i am from Perris Ca, which no one knows exists outside of this area! so i just leave it blank. that, and i am too lazy to do a full profile!
as far as my setup, it is as follows:
Cubase Sx
Sampletank2 and Hypersonic (misc., workstation type sounds.... wah guitars, things like that)
Kontakt-sample player for my akai librarys, good presets. great percussion.
Kompakt-smaller Kontakt, EXCELLENt presets, my main rhodes comes from here.
Lounge Lizard (rhodes/wurlitzers)
Battery (drums..... makes organizing kits a snap..)
complimented by my "big three"...
Symphonic Orchestra Silver Edition- an excellent Orchestral library that covers the basics.
Atmosphere- the Crown jewel of my setup.... my ep will be loaded with it. the ultimate synth module if you ask me. most of my synth type sounds come from this.
USB Charlie Retro Organ- the best organ module EVER if you ask me. i liked the b4, it was cool, but this is awhole other sound. fits me to a "t"...
my basic akai libraries are Garritan Orchestral Strings Lite and Ultimate Brass Section, and i am about to add some Asian woodwinds and The Grand piano vst.
i top all this off with Waves Gold bundle for mixing duties.

People give less thought to the potentual of question. Some questions can promote critical thinking making the answerer more involved in the process of learning and retaining information. Who knows, maybe I just wanted you to pick up your bible, maybe there is a important concept as to why he did not question that his donkey spoke to him, but yet held a conversation with it. I figured since you said ask you a question, you had some type of desire to exercise your brain. Or you maybe you consider yourself a valuable resource and just want to help others. In asking you a question, did you intend for one or the other or a combination of both?

What time is it? What is Cold Truth's favourite bible quote? Why do whales swim onto the beach? How is Cold Truth's lovelife going - is he still chasing young girls who aren't old ebough to date and/or old women who know what they want (even though they have a man)?

Kev- it was intended as a light hearted thread, in leu of the recent arguments. trying to lighten the mood a bit. however, good, serious thought-inducing questions are great as well. and i do need to pick my bible back up.
Shortaay- whats up man! i didnt forget yuo, you'll gt a Cold Truth track! i would love to produce Pharoahe Monch, actually. as far as i am concerned he is among the most talented and skilled MC's EVER (common and nas are my favorites, by the way)... in terms of his vocal ability, his lyricism, his unique sing-song delivery,etc..... plus i think he would fit well with my style of production. he has a rare ability for great hooks, and my beats revolve around hooks.
Chedda- you will hear 12 tracks worth of Cold Truth Vocals come November 1st, when my EP drops. progress is going well. thanks for asking!
Cope- It is 3:16 PM here i california. my favorite bible verse is Matthew 5:43-48:
43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[8] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[9] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
basically, its because i am a vengeful person; i hold grudges very easily and i am not the most merciful person. this verse kind of shows me that God brings good things to everyone, not just those i feel are right or just (wether my assesments are correct is another issue) in my eyes... and it is so easy to hate those who hate me... its a real weak point for me, and so this is a reminder to me. it gives me hope, because so often i am the UNrighteous person in the equation, and without tha tmercy i would be through.
My love life is something i will not ellaborate on in depth right now, but that is actually going quite well as there is an awesome woman in my life these days that i couldnt possibly be more grateful for. what i will say is that she is a 24 year old 1st grade teacher of autistic kids.... UNMARRIED, thank yuo very much!
and, for the record, i STOPPED chasing the young'n when i FOUND OUT she was a young'n! and the married chicks came to me man...... but i am through with those situations now. i dont need taht type of drama in my life!

this morning. not bored, just want to see what comes my way. i dont "take" shoes of any size, but i "wear" a 10and a half. vinegar is disgusting and gravy is for biscuits, meat and potatoes. i eat my fries with ranch dressing or good, old fashioned ketchup. 2,245.55.
whales are tired of their fat, nagging wives. wouldnt you be?
kotek and tampex did absolutely nothing to absorb the horrific embarrasement and harrasment i suffered from thethe oversized-fitted-hat-wearing, t shirt-down-to-the-knees, low-IQ gangsters in line behind when my then-girlfriend sent me to the store on a friday at 10 pm to get her some.

Ok Cold Truth, In sequential order, how do you go about making basslines for your music? What do you think you must know first? Is there a method for the first bass note you choose and where you place it? how do you match the bass part with the rest of the instruments in the song? What key element did you learn or use to make programing bass sound more believable?
