Hey does anyone know how good the emu pres on the 1616m are? It looks like a great buy... Im thinking of using it with a rode k2 mic

Ok, Im searching for the perfect firewire/usb interface for my laptop (intel based pc)... Im really leaning toward the focusrite saffire (to use with an AKG C414 or AT4060 mic). I like the fact it has a compressor built in for use with the inputs. I read in a magazine review of it that the...

Hey, Im trying to decide on a new setup...I was thinking about the focusrite saffire pro. BTW i was going to use it with an AKG c414 mic. Does anyone have any idea how these would sound together, or can you suggest a better interface? Price is not a factor. Thanks a lot!

Hi, Im wondering what you guys think the best EQ plugin is (excluding UAD and Powercore) Right now Im using Waves EQ...but Im not satisfied. Do you all know of any EQ with more than 10 bands??? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, I just downloaded some preamp and compressor impulses from noisevault, but I have no clue what to do with them. I use SIR with the reverb impulses...but what program should I use for the other types? Thanks.

Does anyone happen to have a list of major labels that accept unsolicited material (beats)? Only ones i know of are Ruff Ryders, TVT, and Swisha House... Any additional info would be appreciated.

Tried to delete this thread but couldnt...my bad

Hey, I have a hardware effects unit that I want to use with my pc recording setup. Would I have to use the effect during tracking (as a channel insert on my Mackie 1202 mixer), or is there a way to route just one track to an output of the audiophile 2496 (from Sonar)??? Im sorry if this is a...

Hey, I was wondering if there was a performance difference between the FAT and the other (i forget the letters... NTFS i think) file system when it comes to PC multitrack recording? Thanks! :D

Does anyone know if this plug can use ANY .wav impulses (noisevault stuff) or if you can only use the Waves presets that come with it??? Thanks.

First of all, i assume we all come to this forum to better ourselves. (I know I do!) That being said, I hope no one takes OFFENSE at what Im about to say -- because Im REALLY trying to keep this CONSTRUCTIVE. It seems like every other day someone posts a link to a wack ass song or a wack ass...

Im not quite sure exactly how many of us fall into the producer category, but for those who do my question is how many artists do you work with at any given time? I love music, so I'll work with any and every artist i think is hot, but a line has to be drawn somewhere... Right now im working...

Yo, Im curious as to how many of you guys can actually play instruments. I taught myself the piano and Im workin on the guitar now. All these samples/soundfonts are COOL but sometimes you just cant fade a "live" bassline or guitar riff... Do you guys stick to the machines mostly or do any of...

I was curious as to what the most common procedure is regarding guest appearances -- who does the writing??? For my songs, i tend to write the verse i want the guy to spit. (mainly cuz at that point i already have a firm grasp on where i want the song to go) But, I will usually wait until they...

There is a synth sound I keep hearing in beats, and i have no idea what its called. Its early...the only example i can think of right now is G-unit's "Eye for an Eye," off of Beg For Mercy. (The instrument that comes in after the first 2 or 4 bars) Im sure after I post this other examples...

I use reason, but i keep hearing people talk about soundfonts...what are they and what program do i need in order to use them??? I use sonar 4 pe for sequencing...

The last cd i made was sold for $10 but i only sold around 25. Im thinking if i sold it for like $3 or 4 i would sell MANY more copies. My question is whats the lowest price you would use??? (assuming your main goal is just to get your music heard by as many people as possible)

Now technically i know the loops that come with whatever production setup you have are supposed to be royalty-free and all, but I just CANT bring myself to use them...it just feels so damn unoriginal. I listen to other people's beats and i can recognize the loop and...its just disgusting! How...

I cant figure out what the obsession is with these MPCs, Tritons, and the like...Do you guys use them just for the sounds they have (cuz Reason dont come with s@#t -- for me at least), or because of the hands-on approach they offer??? Also, does Akai make refills for reason? (or is there a way...

Is there some sort of "frequency analyzer" plugin or something that can show the frequency response of a "mastered" song as compared to a non-mastered one??? Basically, what im asking is does mastering give all songs common sonic characteristics (standard level of bass, highs, etc. -- something...
