    First Hip Hop Recording

    oh and how DJs are not real musicians? Is a pianist a musician? What if you put that pianist behind a midi keyboard? Not a musician anymore, I guess.

    First Hip Hop Recording

    No doubt and don't worry, this is not the first battle between rap fans and rap haters here on HR, I lost all my rep points in the last battle. It's a shame, but if you're gonna post rap stuff, you better be ready to play the defense. Especially with Greg L around, he seems to find every post...

    Trying to make a home studio

    also, the delay you are referring to is known as latency, and there won't be any of it with the Fast Track

    First Hip Hop Recording

    a compressor is an effect that basically controls the volume of an audio track. You can set a limit (threshold) so that any part of the audio that gets louder than that limit, is automatically 'compressed'. The amount that it is compressed is based on the ratio that you set. For example A ratio...

    First Hip Hop Recording

    First of all, you should have posted this in the mp3 mixing clinic, or the dj/hip-hop forum. Probably the latter cuz no one gives love to hip-hop in the mixing clinic. Anyway, The rapping is pretty bad, tell your friend to start doing some critical thinking. He's not saying anything, this is...

    Help with my problem recording

    What you have is a latency problem, an audio interface (external soundcard) of some kind would be the solution. But you won't be able to use your USB mic with it, you will need to get a mic that works with an XLR cord. Or, you could just use what you have to record your second track, it will...

    Since recording is easy they should.....

    I believe you can already do that in fl studio... If you record a melody into Edison, then click the wrench symbol for the tools menu and go to "Convert to score and dump to piano roll" It doesn't work perfectly but its kinda cool though i haven't played around with it much.

    Song Feedback

    it has a nice sound and I see what you're going for but the content and delivery aren't quite there yet. Try to give your flow some more variety. As for content, there were a lot of lines that didn't add up and a lot of ambiguous stuff, which is fine, but I didn't feel like the imagery that they...

    Do you mix with a sub?

    Yo Terra, I saw a pair of HS80Ms at Golden Goat Pawn shop on Azalea ave for like $300 a few weeks ago, if youre looking. I don't mix with a sub and I am sometimes surprised by low frequencies. I got a pair of Rokit 8s and I guess since I don't have bass traps, low bass comes through really...

    Art Morera NEW FREESTYLE inside...

    pretty good, the beat is chill, but it sounds like it's written, not a freestyle. I'm listening on laptop speakers so I can't say much about the mixing other than it sounds good on here. My only suggestion is that you should split up the verse by duplicating that hook at the end and putting it...

    KRK best size for my style of music

    I have the 8's and the bass still isn't enough for me, I don't have much room treatment though. And those prices are terrible, check this out: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/KRK-Rokit-Powered-8-G2-Monitors-Mics-and-More-Package?sku=581916

    Critique my mixing please folks...

    I like the tune but a few things that I'm hearing on my monitors are: -bass drum is flabby -guitar is a little weak but I like the tone -vocals are a little loud or they might just seem that way because of the guitars -harmonica sounds good -I think this song would benefit from some bass. If...

    Looking for some constructive criticism

    you should put some more thought into your raps and work on your delivery. Maybe learn your raps better before you record, it sounds like you sometimes are uncertain of what you're saying, this is a problem with some of the rappers I work with, they get so eager to make a track they don't take...

    How's your career going?

    Good to hear you're getting there. I've been working on a lot of stuff with friends of mine, and I have 3 clients that occasionally come through to record but I'm a long way from any career to speak of.
