herein lies the difference between a 'producer' and a 'beat maker'. a producer is involved in the entire recording process. if you are an individual artist, then the producer ensures that you have quality musicians playing your music, and that you have quality engineers recording your music...

i just ordered mine from mac-midi music. i usually order directly from frontier but they aren't selling it direct yet. i'm looking forward to using it. these are the frontier products i've purchased so far: wavecenter ISA (so i could use the d/a/d of my blackface ADAT without the tape)...

muze: the presonus firebox is firewire not usb. i've got the edirol fa-101 and it works great. i've had it for over 6 months now and its been rock solid. i use it to record other musicians outside of my studio room. i had the tascam us-428, and that was a pretty good doo-hicky especially...

definitely get some decent monitor speakers. i've got active alesis M1's and although they are not the best money can buy, i'm going a pretty good job with them. the trick is that good monitor speakers aren't supposed to lie to you. speakers for your stereo are there to make the music sound...

what is the speed of your hard drive? i use to use 2 hard drives (one for apps and one for audio). then i used 3 hard drives (one for apps and 2 in a RAID 0 configuration for audio). the 3 hard drive scenario worked the best, i could push tracks for days. now i'm using a laptop with just 1...

damn, i was just about to say how much i liked cakewalk pyro... but now i can't. seriously though, does anyone know if pyro5 will do re-writable DVD data the way that Roxio did/does turn your CD-rw into a virtual windows drive? a uk friend of mine said that they had a ringtone category at...

that's a good idea! mshea you doing midi ringtones or mp3? i guess since you mentioned pyro it must be mp3. i've got a treo 650. i think it accepts both. i'm going to try that tomorrow.

what record company would pay $2m for a single beat? let alone an artist. do you know how many records Nas would have to sell to recoup his money? plus, if the beat gets jacked on somebody's mixtape before Nas can release it... then what? if Busta and Diddy have heard it, then there is...

the problem with room sound is that my room sounds like crap. i put my primacoustic panels up on the walls so it sound less like crap.

i heard that behringer stole the technology for the ultrapuke from National Bohemian.

no and no. 1) compressors are not for making you louder they are for taming dynamics. the post-compression gain is there so that you don't lose any volume while trying to make those loud moments consistent with the overal track level. 2) dont normalize your tracks. especially in a...

with the gr-33 being an on-the-floor guitar processor made of plastic, i was a little concerned with what would happen the first time it got dropped. well, it still hasn't gotten dropped, but it did have its first beer spill, and came through ok. maybe it heineken compatible. in the middle of...

hey Mshea, if you're still trolling the sight give us an update. i just ran across this thread searching for another old thread. you are very humble... especially given your soul lineage.

do you have dual HDs one for your apps and one for your audio? also, not that you asked, i'd do 24bit/44.1khz rather than 16bit/48khz. i do 24bit/48khz.

so you've used the other two pci slots? if you have a firewire I/O that would be your best option. I've got an Edirol FA-101 that serves me well.

i have the fatar sl-880 (or 990) i can't remember which. its very real feeling, but it doesn't actually produce notes. it outputs midi to my roland xv-3080

i prefer to have 3 strong takes of the lead vocal so that i can pick and choose whole passages for the comp vocal rather than having slice things up so much. sometimes you may think your singer really nailed it, but when you start mixing and critically listening to what you have instead of...

the DD5 is a fairly old drum machine right? how good are the congo sounds on it? i don't remember it even having real congo sounds. i thought it had those 303 or 808 congo sounds? anyway, if they sounds lifeless, then you might want to get some congo samples and use a software sampler...

the only cracked software i had was sid myer's railroad tycoon deluxe. i couldn't find the old version for purchase anywhere. i have the new version (purchased) but i like playing the old version too. of course i lost it when i turned my old DAW into a web server, but i would have paid for...

it would be better to get 2 10,000 rpm 40g hard drives than to have 1 80gb. then you put your executable and virtual memory one the 1 drive, and put your music data on the other. if possible, get the 6-pin 1394 instead of the mini-pin (4 pin).
