I've got the 2i2... No real problems as such but it does leave little room to expand... I'm still saving for the Steiny UR44 - more ins, more outs and DSP which can be routed to headphone mix (whilst still recording a dry signal) 2in/2out has me constantly plugging and unplugging and...

If you're going to do any kind of budget room treatment then framed rockwool slabs wrapped in old duvet covers is your best bet. 60 quid will get you the slabs and timber. Skip the DI. Audio Interface is a must have item - Steinberg UR44 (more growing room in&out wise + DSP) would be my choice...

Are you also using the AW4416 as a control surface in reaper? AW4416 is one of my saved searches on eBay ever since I got rid (still kicking myself) of the Akai DPS12i... Paired with an MPC2500/1000 or a Roland MV8800 would be a pretty sweet rig for me!

How many outputs does your interface have? Out from your interface to In on the 4-track... I'd get your Ableton stuff down to tape first...

Budget and room size should be your main considerations... I use Yamaha HS-7s and a guy I work with uses some Fostex Monitors. One of my best mates uses KRK Rokit 5s and way back I had a pair of Tannoy Reveals... All capable. All help to produce good music. Worth looking at JBL LSR305's as...

All DAWs do pretty much the same thing and have the same (or at least similar) features. Some do lend themselves more to particular styles of production than others but it's not so much the features of the DAW that dictate this but how the user accesses these features. Some workflows just make...

I make hip hop and I've tracked my mixed drum group out of my 2i2 and into my old Tascam fourtrack and then re-recorded as a stereo pair a couple of times... I keep thinking it'd be cool to pick up an old Tascam 688 and a soundcard with more outputs but I can't justify it right now... Those...

I've been using the Behringer UCA222 for a while now... Although an improvement on the built in iPad mic I still don't consider it stellar... The 2i2 works well though and when I finally pick up a new interface (likely to be the Steinberg UR44) the 2i2 will become the permanent soundcard for the...

Kill it. Kill it dead. It's not good. Autotune is not good. I'm serious. Kill it. Kill it dead. #saynotoautotune

I think the Zoom R16 is an interesting one... 8 inputs, records wav files to SD so can be transferred easily to any DAW or can be mixed in the box. Can be used as an audio interface with the computer should you want to or as a control surface for your DAW. if I were wanting to record 'jams' I'd...

Today I used a record called 'Sounds of the Greek Islands' Features a fair bit of Bazuki which isn't an instrument I've heard in HipHop to often. The record cost me 25 pence.

For the most part I'm in absolute agreement with you. But still maintain that a lack of understanding of what hip hop is by the forum as a whole is at least a factor in this sub-forums "train-wreck". Posting product in a 'clinic' for critique is one thing but this particular sub-forum is just a...

I meant both the forum and this subforum but I'll clarify my viewpoint - I don't think that posting ones product in a forum has any real benefit for the producer. I don't think posting ones product within the hiphop section of this forum shows any respect for hiphop or the conversations that...

I get where you're coming from. TBH. I don't use forums to find new music... I find it in other ways... And I do find new music (although I'm quite specific in my taste... I'm UK so prefer to hear a UK voice that represents... And I think Trap is shit... I'm BoomBap all day...) I make hiphop...

'Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio' by Mike Senior is often recommended... Not read it but supposed to be good. I picked up 'Mixing Audio - Concepts, Practices & Tools' by Roey Izhaki on Kindle just before Christmas and have been dipping in and out of it...

Both appear unbranded... One has a permanently attached lead... Both smell kinda foisty... So no... I honestly don't remember either of them, probably an old band members from years ago... I still have my first (somewhat battered) SM58 and another (newer) 58 and I've got a little mixer so I...

Ah... No worries... Cheers for the heads up! As it happens, I just got home from dinner at my old dear's house... My wife wasn't showing her happy face when I came out of my mums attic with another box of stuff to take home... Found a couple dynamic mics and my old Tascam Portastudio (which...

I make hiphop so it'd work pretty well for dirtying up drums. Which end of the UK you in?

Ha! Thought you'd got unreasonably 'aggy'! No worries!

Nice.
