    drums of a song on midi

    The easiest way would be to buy a drum sequencer like EZdrummer or Addictive Drums (which is what I use) and just have fun with all of the built in midi beats and fills. not to mention you'd have killer drum sounds to go with it. The only other way I'd probably do it is to paint it in the drum...

    Kontakt 3.5 Player

    Yes you have it right, you have to assign each different pad/rim etc to a channel. Then you have to tell Kontakt what to play for each channel. In this case, most would be gained from reading the manual. (really) You'll get it pretty quick.

    Home Recording desk/workstation furniture question

    I think this thread should win a medal for being the oldest thread bumped.

    Soundproof basement ceiling

    Because it changes the way the lf transmits through it. Anytime you can change densities and/or thicknesses on the same wall is a good thing. (assuming you're using the right materials) +1 Its going to cost soo much money, and if you get ONE thing wrong, its all going to be a waste and you...

    Only Got Into It A Week Ago

    Yes that would work, but you would still need an RCA cable to interconnect from teh mixer to that adapter, then to the PC. You would be better off with something like this: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--HOSCMR2

    favorite plugin suite

    Are great for being free, but far from ideal IMO if you are comparing them against others. I found the Wave Arts Power Suite 5 to be very useable/musical and I use the reverb alot. Alot ppl will diss Waves this days but I like alot of the plugins that come in the Waves Native Power Pack. And...

    What is the cheapest way to record in your opinion

    Most any little studio will take a flat rate to produce a demo. I gaurantee that if he stopped into a few local studios, offered them a flat $100, and agreed to come in at the studio's conviencence, that he could find someone. If they have their songs down, a skilled engie could setup in an hour...

    Never would have guessed it.. so then yea, the V30 definately sounded better.

    What is the cheapest way to record in your opinion

    Is it about the music, or about recording (as a hobby)? If its about the music, just go to a studio. Think of a master carpenter with a saw and hammer, and a newb with a full shop-o-tools.. its about the know how more than tools. I bet if you handed a four track to some of the seasoned...

    Speaker Upgrade

    That was an interesting comparison. Is the Mesa an open back? It sounded like it. If not than I would say they are both way bright as compared to the V30. My quest for tone lead me to my 2x12 semi openback loaded with Tonespotters. Its a fat warm tone though so it may not be the best for metal...

    how to compose songs?

    Another thing to add to the other posts, is that the Beatles were the first to do that sort of thing. So they had the "New" element" going for them as well.

    i hate my vox

    Well you know, you could always borrow/rent a Neumann and see if that has "it". If it does then at least you'll know that its the mic. Another note.. have you tried recording your vox in other locations? As you get louder, you'll get more reflections and room interaction which could thin it...

    what's "Just awful" ? Thin? Girlie? Pitchy? What do you think is the problem?

    I accidentally dropped my MBox...

    I don't think it would be bad for your room mate to look inside. Since "dropping" it is not covered under any sort of warranty, you'd have nothing to lose by looking under the hood. He'll know pretty quick if its something he can fix or not. Otherwise, unless you wanna shell out for a new one...

    2nd posting

    I like it so far.. its hard to say what else it needs really with out any vocals.. The only negative is the mix is WAY left heavy making me always want to lean around in my chair. :confused:

    how to compose songs?

    :/ I thought I did. Here.. let me get to my point "....So if you have bits and pieces from songs, I would lay them out in front of you and decide where they would all go logically to tell the story. Then just fill in the gaps with supporting content to support up the story. A melody line is...

    How to deal with writing a crap song

    This happens to me sometimes when I try to "force it". Meaning that I have some lyrics that I want to make into a certain song and it just doesn't translate. I wouldn't just scrap it if you like the lyrics, I just think maybe you can try changing up the melody, genre, recording methods etc...

    how to compose songs?

    I found this thread to be an interesting read. Here is my opinion.. but first, a story: -I went on vacation with my gf and three kids a few weeks ago and brought two digital cameras and a 1080p video camera. I came home with 400 pictures and about 2 hours of video footage. When I got home...
