    How to create vocal harmonies the easy way

    if the dude insists on singing the harmonies himself, then record the harmony on your keyboard so that he has a guide. if the melody is throwing him off then mute it if you must. if his vocals aren't horribly out of tune, then combining the original with the autotune'd vocal (panned apart)...

    In what order...

    i tend to start with the kick snare and hats, then the bass, then other instrumentation since the hook usually hits me first. but if a definitive melody hits me first, then i get that down and then work around it. i don't bother with the EQ and stuff until i'm ready to mix the whole thing.

    Question about TASCAM FW-1082

    I've got the FW-1884 and I've always used the 4-pin thats on my laptop and never had a problem. my understanding of the 6 pin is that the last 2 pins carry power so that you can connect devices without needed an external power source (like USB). btw, i've used several different laptops over...

    Sonar 4.......some questions

    I've got the tascam fw-1884 which is a digital mixer. it allows you to record 8 tracks at a time. I've also got the edirol FA-101 which is an external D/A/D (no mixer) which allows you to record 8 tracks at a time. both work using the firewire (1394) port (not usb) on your PC. the difference...

    Magix 2000...VIP extension?? Converter

    the .VIP is the project file and the .HDP contains the original wave file with any changes you made. you can export the wav or hdp files to mp3. Magix is the later version of SEKD's Samplitude/RedRoaster, I've used RedRoaster for years as my mastering software for creating CDs of multiple songs.

    How do you process Rap Vocals

    what you have to do really depends on the person you are recording. would you de-ess 50 cent? if you did, you'd take away his signature "i'm from NY but i sound southern" sound. many of the rappers and dancehall artist i deal with get so use to shouting into the mic live that they think they...

    NAS (not the rapper) drive

    i bought a Cintre ethernet enabled enclosure with a Maxtor 7200rpm 300gb HD. the Maxtor brand NAS was $300, the Cintre is $200 for the same amount of HD space. we'll see if this turns out to actually be a bargain. its on order from supergooddeal.com

    RMS or Peak?...what to go by?

    Accenture owns it but lets other companies use it too. they bring recent grads from all over the world there for 2 weeks of core analyst training. its the best smorgasbord of young, beautiful and intelligent skirts you'll ever see outside of the house/senate interns that come to DC every year...

    saving sonar projects ON DVD

    i never save it as a bundle, i just drag and drop the folder into my roxio easy media creator. never had a problem. if you save it as a bundle, and you change one small midi note in the bundle, you've got to save the whole bundle again. I've only got to save the files in the folder that changed.

    NAS (not the rapper) drive

    Network attached storage. Anyone using it to archive your tracks? I was thinking about getting a relatively small NAS drive and shuffling all of the non-sonar stuff onto it. Then i saw the price of the NAS and started thinking i could put finished tracks there too (i would still continue to...

    Which audio interface for Sonar 5?

    i've got the tascam 1844 and it works very well. the only problem glitch is that once in a blue moon you'll turn it on and all the units lights will come on and stay on. but then when you power off-on again its fine. that only happens once in a blue moon and then its fine and works rock...
