    ^^Basically what I covered in the quick vids. I skipped step 1 because it was a .wav file I used, I just imported the whole song into recycle. Didn't touch on rewire though, that's the only way I use reason these days (rewired into cubase sx) and better believe I was struggling to remember how...

    You use converters everytime your record ;) To hear the affected track with the rest of the mix just use the effect as an insert. Some people prefer outboard and some studio's have been around for ages before plugins were introduced. The reasons vary depending who you ask.

    Commercials

    Do it like these prescription drug commercials... "Are you having trouble with gain staging? Do you no longer enjoy your microphone? Are you having trouble sleeping due to that melody stuck in your head? If so you may be a HomeRecorder. Ask your physician about homerecording.com/bbs."...

    This probably have been addressed but....

    Yeah I love that site especially when pitch shifting and transposing, been using it since I saw the vid. :D Some progs. have bpm calculators, Cubase has a pretty good one. There's a shareware prog I downloaded a while back I'll have to find the link, it's never right though...lol Maybe it's...

    another "what should I buy" thread

    I see your point and it's validity, it's really a toss up depending on circumstance and taste. Both being hypothetical since I haven't heard either combo: I would think a 57 would sound great through a Great River (vs.) a U87 sounding decent through an ART Tube MP...lol (not that that's a common...

    My opinionated list (anything else): 1. Skill 2. Room 3. Pre 4. Mic 5. Converters Something like that. If your only asking about what you listed, that's based on you needs. I don't think they have a VST headphone amp yet though ;)

    Is there a DIY kit that sounds like an Avalon?

    A lot of rappers I know are going the API route these days. However I've never heard of any Avalon clones but I'm interested now...

    Where is Hip Hop going?

    Woke up on the wrong side of the bed? :confused: ....lol Yeah Rap music is doing more harm to the black community than good. It's sad to see these kids, they have way more shit than most of us had coming up (just look at technology alone)... But yet they don't wanna take advantage, instead...

    Just for sampling I can't say what's best, probably Recycle though because all it does is chop and process samples. I never used FL but since D.E. is saying it has a slicer, if that detects hit points I say go with what you have and know. If you want gimme till after X-mas and I'll put...

    New to sampling - perplexed

    Ahhh I remember them days...lol I still do it that way from time to time but it can be a headache. I just started using midi this year and it makes a BIG difference with quantizing alone. I was sold after seeing the auto quantize features of Reason and Cubase SX you can even set it to be "off" a...

    Where is Hip Hop going?

    Hip-Hop Sux... It's easy to please simple minds. I agree that people accept the simple stuff being shoved down their throats and no the artist and producers no longer have control of the music. Hip-Hop was sold to the "suits" many years ago they dictate everything now. Where is it going? Hell...

    In my 1 vid I posted I was tapping the space bar, but I was using a BPM calculator and tapping out the tempo... I doubt that's the vid your talking about though. Here it is again just incase... http://www.expressionmusic.com/video/ExpressionBeat.wmv Edit: The space bar in most apps starts/stops...

    My Christmas gift to you.

    Damn Change, I hate when I have to buy my Christmas gifts from the person who's giving it to me. Reminds me of the time the car dealership gave me a car on my birthday a few years back :D :D I'm definitely in for 1 though just to show some support.

    Even Santa Clause has a MPC!!!(Itz HERE)

    Me too, I haven't checked the song yet but I'm sure if Stray's putting it out there it'll work. So back to the lab I go...lol On another note, since we're gonna use our own drums and basses what about backing instruments? Either way works though.
