I need some advise for mixing.
I am doing rap/hip-hop/r&b. The progs that
I use are Cubase, Vegas pro, FruityLoops, Cool Edit. I have a few questions.
1. When I mix, should I split the sounds
in to separate tracks, meaning, should
I put the kick on one track, the snare on
another, the hihat on another and so on?
Or should I just mix the instrumental as one
track and continue on with the vocals?

2.How do I make certain parts of a track
or instrumental track echo. I want the last
word of the vocals to echo. What is the best way to do that.

3. What do I to a track first, add compression or do the eq?

I know this doesn't have anything to do with
mixing but I need to know is how much better is Akai MPC 2000 compared to fruity loops?
My Freind is a r&b producer and offered to sell me one of his for $400.

I know that I am asking alot but this Msg board has help me with my problems.
Thanks
 
The echo is easily done in Vegas Pro by copying the section you want to echo to another track and sliding the whole thing back a few milliseconds until the echo is right.
