The rule I go by is "compress when needed". The hard part is determining when its needed, and what settings to use. A reason to compress the final mix would be to make the overall mix louder. Just like when you sing some tones are louder than others so you may compress to get a more level...

A controller keyboard with the trinity rack mount, and sequencing software(I use elogic), will serve you better then getting a trinity and it'll cost less. Also, getting a decent multi timbral sampler(I use Akia s2000) will save you money instead of getting an MPC, and you can do more w/ it(...

Re: OK... to throw the thread totally off-topic... On Nabster people steal your music because they enjoy your art, and most I know will go out and buy your CD if they like what your doing. Record companies pimp our music for money....So who's the vilian???

You gotta point, but come on...Who's gonna buy all that software that does the same stuff? I think it was a fair assumtion.

Stealing and accepting stolen goods for non profit are 2 different things. Its bootleging, and its not hurting anyone. I can't see Steinberg going out of business because less than 1% of all users of their software use cracks.

Definatley, I'm not knockin this spot, I was just wanted to chk out more spots.

Re: Since you're a newbie... I don't use cracks, mainly because I want the support from the company, and 2, because I want to support companies that make good products. But why hassle people who do?? If people just want a toy to play w/ and don't make a profit, than why not use a crack...

Excellent thread ya'll, I apreciate the info. Could someone explain the dithering process? I know what it does but if someone could explain how it does it, that would be cool. More specifically, how does it decide which bits to shed? or is it basically re-sampling my audio @ 16/44.1.

When recording sounds @ 24 bits when do you start loosing bits? Example: if I record a vocal track with peaks of -0.1 dbs, do I use more bits than if I were to record the same track with peaks of -4 dbs. I would really apreciate any responses on this. I get conflicting answers on this...

I have the 1604 and you can only send 1-8 out to the sound card. I assume you will still need to go into your soundcard through the mackie for the preamps. So you can: A) switch back and forth when your recording in and when your mixing out. B) Get a patchbay.

I would say a sampler. With a sampler you can make your own sound patches and drum kits. It just takes a little programing know how. I have the Akia S2000 and I use it religiously for drums. Yes you can quantize and do just about anything else you can do with a module, but basic fx's(reverb...

Yo, does anyone know of other forums like this one for hip hop producers and Mc's?

I don't use the roland to make my drum kits. Truth be told, I didn't know I could make kits w/ the jv1010. I sample one hits from sample cds, different albums, just about anything I can get my hands on. I'll rip the sounds to my hard drive, edit them(if needed) and sample them into my s2000...

I wanted to take a poll. 1)Which maximizer to people like more? The L1 or the Loudness Maximizer? Or other?(those are the 2 I hear the most about) 2) Which bundle do folks find better? Native bundle from Waves, or The Mastering Edition from Steinberg? Or other? One more thing....I went to...

That's the one!! I mix that sub bass with another more taimed bass sound and come up with some crucial basslines.

sonusman, he said sampling rate, but I did some research on digital voltage and found most of his advise suspect...I have to partially disagree with you about asking for advise in a forum. These forums have provided me with a wealth of knowledge to add to my own. True, there is no substitute...

I ajust the input to get in "the sweet spot" between clean and clip where my vocal sounds the warmest. Then I ajust the output to get a good recording level into my computer(I go as close as possible to zero without going over). Another engineer told me that as long as your above -12dbs you...

CyanJaguar, JV1010 " Not a reccomended module in my opinion, but some decent sounds". I like the module and for the price, I think it was worth the money. It has a lot of sounds! but I think when I bought it I was trying to compare it to the trinity rack mount and it isn't of the same calibur...
