    What Db's Do you set in a mix

    It is hard for me to mix the beat and then try to get the vocals to fit in. Sometimes it works but most times it will sound like the vocals are sitting too high or too low. I think the best way is to mix everything together. I like to start by roughly leveling everything out. Then I break...

    Reverb 101

    Okay.....My gain structure is good. I'm understanding compression(when to use it, and what ajusting the settings will effect). My Eq'ing is coming along nicley(I basically operate on the moto that less is more). But I am in need of in depth info on using reverb in my mixes. Right now I...

    Where have all the R&B/hip-hop artist gone

    Good thread ya'll Mine as well through my 2 cents in..... Lately I have started to question what I'm in this for. Back in the day all I had was a Yamaha RX7 and my creativity, and I don't think I've ever been happier doing music. Since then I've grown so much as a producer/engineer/ and...

    check out my joint and tell me what you think

    I hear potential, but not a complete song I think the song itself is more then decent. The production, writing and arrangment were all on point. The lead vocalists performance could be better I think. He sounds like he can sing, but there where a lot of notes that where off in the lead...

    Modules

    What modules do ya'll like the best? I just bought the Mo Phatt 3 days ago and I'm kinda disappointed. It has a lot of good sounds, but I like to play my melodies and chords, and for this it is not very good. It seems to have ready made beat sounds in it and all I have to do is hit the key...

    Advice needed!

    If you are just making beats, then right now I would say just focus on the production side of things. A multitrack recorder isn't really nessecary at this point. I would learn as much about midi as I can if I were you, and stay in that domain for now(which is a great place to be for making...

    Everything you just stated can be done w/ a sampler like the s2000 and sequencing software. Take cubase the producer pack for example. Every thing you can do with an MPC you can do faster with cubase producer pack which will give you a sequencer, a multi track recorder, and a wave editor(and...

    Re: what`s so special I've never really worked on an MPC, but I'm skeptical about it. I really don't see what you can do w/ an MPC that you can't do w/ a sampler and sequencing software. The fact that it is what everyone is using doesn't motivate me. Sleep, please point out what is better...

    The JV1010 is not worth it......Definetly better to spend a little extra and get something better. I say you can't go wrong w/ the Trinity rack if you can find one.

    Channels

    Re: hmmmmmmmmmm,,,, I think......Stereo is 2 channels(left and right), mono is one channel and there is no left and right. The left and right option in cep is merley a choice between channels to record on. Question 2.... If you run the sound in stereo, meaning you will have 2 1/8"...

    Help w/ DAW efficiency

    Thanks c7sus I ussually use FX as aux assigns when mixing(2 reverbs and mabey a delay), except for compression and eq(or if I want just a wet signal like when I use a wah wah fx or somthing). Once and a while Vegas will freeze and I'll control alt delete and see like 6 programs when the end...

    Channels

    1.) Because a stereo signal is 2 channels. So while your picking your input from your soundcard, it wants to know which channel to record, or both(stereo). Example: If you had 2 mono tracks you wanted to record at the same time, you could pan one of them all the way left and the other right...

    Help w/ DAW efficiency

    Thanks for the response.... I know that other OS come w/ headaches, but I was thinking that they will manage my proccessing power better. 98 is the only OS I want to run because it is the only OS that has worked for me. I do have a virus program, I will try disabling it. Anyone else have...

    I think, when it comes to software, it is mearly a matter of taste(when choosing between the top runners). Compressors, for music mostly performed by modules, I think all you need is software compressors.

    what soundcards do you all use???

    Then get the 1010 Any way you look at it there will be ups and downs.....its your decision to make. I think the 1010 is a good card though, and priced reasonably. I was debating between delta or motu when I got mine, and for the money, the delta seemed to be better. Plus, my Delta 1010 did...

    I would say ditch the Kurtz. Get a multi timbral sampler(I use an akai s2000), a controller key board, and some sequencing software. Those basics will out do an MPC any day. Sequencing software is very user freindly(as is the MPC), but you can do more faster with sofware then most hardware...

    what soundcards do you all use???

    I couldn't tell you if the A/D converters are better, but I use the Delta 1010. Good sound, and I specifically wanted the 8 ins & outs. Back when I bought it, my motivatioin was to be able to track beats I made for people @ home instead of taking my equip to a studio to seperate the sounds for...
