These are considered "power chords" and a lot of producers (example: Neptunes) use them all the time to assist in making hits. The only thing I dont like about power chords is that if you keep using them over and over again they start to sound off or something. The info you gave was very very...

My main problem is that I always find the root note but finding the extra 2 or 3 notes to form the chord is difficult. Sometimes Im lucky and I find the 5th and when I play them together they sound decent. Any way to shortcut this?

Since no one has taken the time to answer (or just dont know FL Studio well), Im going to help ya. Basically you need to setup your Midi Settings. Enable both Midi Output and Midi remote control. Then go into the Midi Settings screen (press F10). then set your Output Port Setting to the MIDI...

*I asked a similar ques. like this but the search function is currently disabled* I am trying to learn the chord progression for this song called Confessions Part II by Usher and Differences by Ginuwine. The problem is that I only know little about chords and theory. I know how the chords sound...

I dont recommend using a rhyme dictionary for rap music though. Unless you are ok with sounding like Vanilla Ice under the influence. If you listen to most commercial rap songs, you see that artist tend to "bend" and "stretch" the proper pronunciation in order to rhyme words together. Eminem...

Aw shit! =-( I wonder where you been at bro. Its been a minute. Get at me through my cell. Im sorry to hear that all of this came down on you like this. We're still only one hit away from Europe my nig. Ive been working on some lucretive things so be sure to k.i.t. Stay up, Ill be sure to keep...

It seems to me that you are being very traditional. But even in thousands of traditional R&B songs, the bassline carries the song and gives it definition and usually becomes a glue with the chords and such. R. Kelly, Ginuwine, Musiq, Jill Scott, etc. often incorporate variation to their songs to...

Im feeling the song regardless of the quality. I know if it was mixed correctly then it would be a street hit here in Chicago. If you were in the Chicago area I would be sure to collab. Check out me and my boys http://lilraydio.dmusic.com

Big time! I had to learn that the hard way. People fail to realize what changing the tempo of a song and removing small elements will do. One thing that R&B utilizes that few new rap hits dont is the use of chords and sweeping sounds (whooses, pads, etc.). My advice would be not to even try to...

When you are ready to do the music for a song, do you already have your instruments (sounds) laid out or do you audition sounds as you go along recording parts to see what sounds good with what you just recorded?

I never had professional music training and Im teaching myself to play by ear. There are a few mp3s I have that use chords. When I listen to the songs I hear the chords and when they are played. My problem is identifying the chords and playing them myself on my keyboard. What's an easy way to...

The main problem I have with Audition is in the multitrack when using the mixer. Everything else pretty much runs fine. When adjusting the faders, it takes the program a few seconds to catch up to the change in volume you just made. For example..... If you have your fader at -10, then quickly...

I think it more so depends on the type of rap joint you are producing. Some Dr. Dre tracks have panned basslines like old recordings used to have. On the other hand, most dirty south cuts have deep dead center bass. The key is to pan when needed, but not too much. I usually keep the kick...

The issue of latency is something many of us fail to have solved even after years of using CEP (Audition). Please tell me I am not alone in the following. 1) Do you wonder why when you move faders in Cubase, Logic, etc. the volume changes instantly; but in CEP it takes 1 1/2 second to hear the...

Same here, sounds alot more distinct. Thank you also for clearing up my synth question :) Cheers!

Email me at lilraydio@aol.com whats the name of it? Contact me, thanks

I am looking to record in Sonar and edit my recorded wavs in Cool Edit (Adobe Audition) also. What program does this and where can I find it? Thanks

Question for all of you synth users...... Im a newb to synth programming; what exactly makes each softsynth or any synth period sound different from each other when they all have the same controls and use the same sin,saw,etc. sample? Most have the same LFO and filter types also. What makes each...

I only have Mackie HR824s for sale used. Contact me at lilraydio@aol.com and maybe we can setup some kind of Ebay auction or something similar. Cheers

What is an overhead? Im not too familiar with many terms, just my ears. Also, is there a such thing as a mix being too wide? Any examples? Sorry for spoiling your old skool moment :)
