this may seem weird, but i am dead serious. How do you produce pop music? What do you use to make the beats? I program drums with ezdrummer, but the beats used in pop music dont seem like traditional drums. I usually only hear a hi hat, snare and bass drum. The "snares" usually sound like a...

Hello So heres my basic question: If i split up an audio track into 3 regions (or any number), how do i send each region to a different auxiliary input? Trust me, ive tried and i cannot do it at all. Currently, this is what ive been diong: Just making 3 copies of the track, then muting the...

I want to be able to have better control in singing higher notes. For example, one band i like is saosin. THey have a male lead singer and he sings fairly high pitched. I want to get in that range. WHenever i try to sing that high, i always end up yelling and hurting my throat. HELP :)

hokay so heres the deal, title may seem a little weird. Im a musician myself who has recently started trying to learn how to record/producce, simply because i just want to create my own demos. Nothing professional really, just for fun. ANyways, ive been buying a lot of audio engineering...
