    I've used a lot of Gigabyte boards in the past, but my last one has me off of them for good. Gigabyte used sub-standard electrolytic caps for the VRM's on AthlonXP and early Athlon64 motherboards. I know this because I have one with 4 bad caps that I'll have to replace myself and apparently is...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009173 ^^^ That monitor will give you pretty much all the desktop real estate you need to display your mixer and sequencer at the same time with room left over.

    not necessarily. If you're running Win64, then starting with 8GB ain't a bad idea, but only "because you can"; you still don't NEED 8GB for anything. BTW, it's always upgradeable even if you use up all of your slots.

    if that's all you're using then an old P4 could do the trick. I know my 3GHz P4 runs FL 9, Sonar 7, and ProTools 7.3 quite well. Now... unless you're doing stuff with massive plugin counts and a trucklooad of streaming sampler plugins, most garden variety PC's out there will be just fine. If...

    What do you like about FL?

    my analysis from 2007: https://www.illmuzik.com/forums/showpost.php?p=208717&postcount=39 I STILL use FL Studio. I hve eveything I need there. The sequencer is top notch (STOP CLICKING THE LITTLE BUTTONS AND PLAY SOME SHIT!), the included synths are top notch. The one thing I don't like is...

    Ardour - Open Source DAW

    it STILL doesn't have a sequencer. Been screwing with Ardour for several years. Until it has a fully fleshed out sequencer, I'll pass on it.

    monitor speakers

    M-Audio and Behringer makes excellent monitors in that price range. Head to your nearest shop and have a listen to them.

    that super mellow rhodes sound...

    aiight... I'm done with trying to get this sound. Listen to this track: The extra mellow rhodes sound that comes in at 1:37 (it's there throughout the track, just more obvious from there on). How the hell do you get that sound??? I've been trying with Lounge Lizard 3 and Emagic EVP73...

    Ever feel like your losing ..

    I just complained about this to my wife about two weeks ago. I have nearly ZERO drive to fuck with hip hop any more. Once in a blue, I come across a track that gets my interest back, but they're usually instrumentals like Dilla's "Think Twice" or this track by FLYamSAM "The Offbeat" on the...

    Low-Budget Productions

    Ioono where you live, but you can cop a used PC for as cheap as $50 these days offa Craigslist. Add an Audiophile 2496 ($50-100 on Ebay), M-Audio Studiophile DX4's ($150/pr from MusiciansFriend), and a copy of FL Studio ($49 - 299) and you're makin' beats in no time. Keep an eye out here...

    MUSIX linux distro

    meh. I have the bulk of that in my Fedora 8 partition. Linux audio apps are getting there, but they're still not ready for prime time.

    production software..preferences

    the only type of PC I can think of that will max out at 512MB is an intel Pentium 3 running on an i815 chipset. I have a machine like that sitting here at my desk at the office (1GHz Dell GX150 - it's my test/script machine). you could be ok with either Reason or FL Studio as long as you're not...

    I do House of the Deep House variety. go holler at Naked Music (www.naked-music.com), Rick Wade's Harmonie Park Label (look for Rick Wade on myspace), and my boy Chris's label www.deep4life.com. That's the kinda shit I'm doin. It's really not as easy as many would have you think it is...

    I know we got mma fighters in here

    as of this past Monday, I got on a pseudo Atkins diet. Int that I mean I do still eat some fruits but have cut my breads and potato's down to nearly nothing. In 6 days, I dropped off 7lbs without exercise. My typical day consists of: Breakfast: homemade Beef or Pork sausage (1 patty) and 2...

    Windows Vista= Peice of Shit

    saying 'vista sucks' is akin to saying 'the sky is blue'. That M$ has a backdoor in it that it can use to arbitrarily delete your stuff makes it suck. That it sucks up resources like a third world hooker makes it suck. That it's hardware/software incompatibility rate is sky high makes it...

    Bass

    If you're using FL, you can get good bass sounds out of pretty much every included synth plugin. You just need to learn how to program a subtractive synth for basses. Lately, I've been using Wasp and that's it. Amazon.com: Analog Synthesis: The Newbie Guide to Synthesizers and Sound...

    Apple is getting out of hand

    it's all a matter of where you go and what you do. I don't spend time on P2P at all (RIAA/MPAA watch p2p and too many virii in the wild) I don't open emails with attachments from people I don't know. All emails are converted to plain text before I read them (outlook does it). The preview...
