Gotta admit, no I did not, my bad. I was pretty wrapped up in answering PMs so I just gave my thoughts on the loudness wars (one of my main pet peeves) is all. All the best Gabriel

Well free plugs is what they are, FREE. Most, not all, are garbage. they tend to leak a lot, cause hosts to crash and are huge CPU and memory hogs. Don't pay attention to the guys at guitar center, most of them have no idea of what they're talking about. One of them actually once suggested i buy...

IMO the loudness wars is for the birds. I've heard so many songs destroyed by dynamic multi band compression. It really has become sad. Get a good clear mix. Add a few DB to it and call it the day. If the listener wants volume, well, there is a lil knob that's specifically called "VOLUME". Use...

In my opinion I stay clear of mastering suites. they can really mess up your final sound. The best mastering is done with a near perfect mix. Achieve that result and all you have to add is a limiter to the master bus. If you find the need to add plugs to your master bus just use individual...

Lol, after reading a lot of these answers I have to chime in on this. To the OP, the BEST compression is knowing how to use your voice and mic. Also get the BEST mic that fits your style that you can afford. Condenser mics are NOT always the best choice. Knowing when to back off and when to...

From what I've read from other 1644 users, one of the drawbacks from this unit is you can't record and monitor at the same time using headphones. I owned this unit for a grand total of 12 hours before i returned it....shrugs.

Good luck Paul. Looking for new toys is always fun :)

Well for great piano sounds you really can'y beat the yamahas. They have some of the best accoustic sounds around. for soundscapes Korg is what you really need. For orchestration Kurzeiler. So I guess what sound you crave the most is which model I would look at.

Neither. Owned both and both are toys. The X-50 is very poorly built. The power supply has a reputation for breaking off real easy and the casing scratches even when trying to clean it with a soft cloth. Keys are also plastic and BEND real easy. The MM6 is well, I suppose you can use it as a...

Went into my local pawn shop the other day and they had a Triton Studio in there. I could walk out with it for 700 bucks tax included. Decent shape, not great but decent. I also own a Triton Extreme. Yeah I know, the typical answer is why do you want 2 korgs, get a Yamaha Motif or a Kurzweiler...

Soundforge is a WAV editing tool. Cubase is a tracking/mixing tool. 2 different animals. Some folks master in cubase as well though it's not really designed for that. Both Soundforge and Wavelab are excellent editing tools as well as great masteriing software. When all is said and done I...

Ok, got C4 about a month ago, starting to feel comfortable with it but for the life of me I can't seem to be able to preview ANY loops in the Media Bay or Loops browser. I've enabled Scope but that doesn't do anything. If I double click on a loop it creats a separate audio track in my project...

Yep this almost sums it up. 10 tracks at least for drums, 2 to 4 on bass, 3 to 6 for the guitars, 5 or 6 sometimes more for the main and backup vox, 8 plus for my synths (at least), a couple for percussions and such, then you have the B3 and pianos and the list goes on. 48 plus tracks easy.

Thanks for this info. worked like a charm !!!!

Well after playing with Reaper for a couple of hours last night I'm finding myself quite at home here. Imported a couple of projects and the sound engine seems REALLY nice !!! Still trying to figure out how to render an MP3 though. Reaper can't seem to find my Lame files and I haven't yet seen...

Man, I was just in the process of crossgrading to Cubase 4 and came to this forum. Too many good things said not to give Reaper another shot. Downloaded it and so far I'm completely blown away by it. The GUI has a lot of similarities to Acid Pro which I love but can't stand the sound engine and...

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the drum loop was /is only used for a click trick track (I hate metronomes) till I figured out which drum program I'm going to use. I've decided on EZ Drummer for this song and am slowly building it up one bar at a time...lol. Please Don't Stare is mainly...

Ummm...nobody?

Ok, got my 1st 2 originals up on the web. The 1st one still has the groove track (still can't decide if I'll be using Drum Core or EZ drummer on this one, and I'm still laying down the lead tracks for it. I'm not very happy with the mixes, especially the second one, "Waves In your Eyes". I'm...

Hypothetical question. I have no desires to be a producer. But if I was, wouldn't it make sense to master every major DAW on the market? My Chances of landing a good job with any studio would increase dramatically ... ;) Gabriel
