When you're checking your final mix, be sure to check the mix on several systems.

Make a ruff mix and burn it to CD. Now, listen to it in your living room stereo. Can you understand all of the...

I must respectfully disagree with justproductions when he says "The arp is not very useful."

The arp on the V-Synth is very useful. It can act as a traditional arpeggiator, of course. But you...

V Synth gets pretty damn grungy, even without distortion. And you can add overdrive/distortion at 3 different points in the signal chain (simultaneously, if you want). Some evil shït lurking in...

Here are some ideas for the original poster. I own a V-Synth and use the VA engine. I do not own an SH-201. I have played a JP-8000 fairly extensively (though in a rock/industrial context, not...

Uhm, excuse me? The Triton is the more dated in this comparison, seeing as how the ASR-10 uses only user samples and programming, as opposed to being a "preset machine" (may a thousand hungry...

MIDI Machine Control is different than true sync. If you're in Pro Tools v6.9 or earlier, you'll select "MIDI Beat Clock" under the MIDI menu. Then check the mBox's MIDI out port.

In Pro Tools...

Windows XP SP2 generally needs Pro Tools v6.9 or later. I'm running 6.7 with SP1 now. I haven't upgraded to SP2 because the girl who gave me my computer apparently used a bootleg version of...

The MC808 has a full synth engine onboard as well as a decent sampler. Live performance is quite easy, via the track mute buttons.

Me, I own an MC-909, and just bought an MPC1000. I'm gonna use...

Bounce it down" Means to mix to another file on disk. For example, you are finished with your mix, and you want to create a single stereo file of your mix. You mix it to disc, or "bounce it down." ...

Or even try flatwound strings. You say you've got a "naff" amp. Well, can't you borrow a decent one? Surely you have friends who'd like to borrow something of yours sometime?

Overall, I think...

Since most folks here seem to do rap and hip-hop, I'll tell you the way I record when I'm working with a rap/hip-hop artist.

Generally, the beatmaker will bring in his MPC/Motif/Triton/Whatever...

It do.

What I be's doin' is creating a single channel, then duplicating it. You could do this for multiple channels if you wanted.

Alternately, you could create a Pro Tools "template" session,...

With the 909, the patches are saved separate from the pattern. This is so that you can build up a library of patches and use them in many different patterns easily.

What you need to do is to save...

I bought an Akai S3000XL with a blown SCSI fuse. It works just fine if I connect the SCSI drive, turn on the SCSI drive, then turn on the Akai. You could try the same.

Once your vocals are recorded, you're probably gonna want to compress them. This makes the loud parts quieter and the quiet parts louder (in a nutshell.)

Compression often makes a part (or vocal)...

It's a goddamn beautiful thing. -snif!-

"But do it make beats?"



I wasn't overly impressed by the Oasys, in the hearing, or by the specs. Actually, the VA engine sounded very nice, but I've always liked Korg's aggressive VA sounds...

MMC (Midi Machine Control) and MTC (MIDI Time Code) are completely different things.

MMC is a method of sending common -er- machine control messages over a 5-pin DIN cable ("the Stop Button was...

I'd much rather work with a dedicated individual - somebody who knew everything about a certain piece of gear - than some rich blowhard with "one ov everything".

This was demonstrated to me in...
