    The difference between PC's and samplers....

    Hey smart guy.... MPC's dont have built in sounds. Does that mean you cant make music with them? What does buying extra gear have to do with anything? I punch my drums in just like you. Except after I'm done playing them I can see each note I played on a giant screen and move shit around how I...

    makin the vocals tight as hell

    Haha exactly. FL has some advantages over Reason too like VST/Dxi support for virtual instruments and effects. And free upgrades for life. I think Fruity Loops would get more respect if it didnt have such a gay ass name! :D. If you have $100 and you wanna start making tracks FL is the way to go...

    makin the vocals tight as hell

    Hell yeah. Knowing how to compress and eq and de-ess vocals is the key. ESPECIALLY dynamic processing. And also Gating to remove noise. The cheaper the mic and pre-amps the more work you gotta do :D.

    The difference between PC's and samplers....

    Wassup Vitamin. I think what makes computers hard to beat in the home studio is that you can get over a hundred tracks of audio, and almost unlimited sample size, and greater editiing power, and easy cheap expandability, all for a fraction of the cost of hardware. I mean a good digital 24 track...

    The difference between PC's and samplers....

    Such as? I feel you. Computers are a hassle to set up. And they're unreliable. And they're fragile. And they're not as "Pro" (:rolleyes: ) as hardware. But once you get your gear workin right its hard to beat for a home studio. Unless you got loot to burn. I'm not recommending a...

    puff daddy richest producer

    You know whats fuckin nutz! I live in the Bay Area and I remember when Master P was selling underground tapes and records when he was broke like a fuckin joke. He sold tapes in Richmond California way before he went back to New Orleans. We used to buy his tapes for like $3 bux. And his records...

    The difference between PC's and samplers....

    Have any of yall heard of the Akai MPD-16? And midi controllers? And Emagic logic control? and Steinberg Houston? and Digidesign 002? I think Mackie makes one too. These are all hardware controllers for PC's. So you get the speed and power of a PC but with the hardware control. Best of both...

    Dj. Paul and Juicy J

    haha yeah Dj Paul and Juicy J got skills! Their shit just sounds crazy. If you listen to the way the loop weird samples in the background its hypnotic. They're tracks are definetly hot. You know whats funny is they use the same fuckin drum kit on every single beat! the same 808 kit on every beat...

    makin the vocals tight as hell

    The effect you're talking about is chorus. Tweak the settings and you'll see. Another technique is to record the vocals in a mono track, then record 2 voice-over tracks singing the same thing, and pan each hard left/right and you'll get that effect. Its called chorusing.

    makin the vocals tight as hell

    I believe the effect you're talking about is just chorus. To make it sound right you have to apply it to a stereo track. So if you record a mono vocal track, turn it into a stereo track first then apply chrous. That effect was big in the 80's but got corny after a while; thats why people stopped...

    Down South Hi hats

    Wassup man, sorry for the delay. If i were you i'd use reason for your hh. Redrum is probably the best and easiest software drum machine there is. If you're working at 1/16 resolution in Reason just draw the high hats on every cell in Redrum. Make sure your BPM's are like 85-92 or something. Not...

    Timbaland

    Nah thats not the game today, Thats the way the game has alwayz been. Connections will get you everywhere. I dont think it has anything to do with the hotness of that beat tho. Thats just a dope track. Simple or not. A lot of peeps think Primo is the best producer but Primo cant make a club...

    Timbaland

    Definitely. If you're in a club in NorthernCali when that song comes on you WILL have a girl's ass in your face. Timbo makes club bangerz period. That shit is hard to do.

    Down South Hi hats

    Which part are you having problems with? Finding the HH sound, or laying the drum pattern? Which drum machine are you using with Cubase?

    Good software Synth

    NOpe. And its not becuase hardware is better either. Its becuase the hardware companies have agreements with each other not to drop their prices. Who knows tho, all the synth companies had an agreement not to go virtual and now they all doin it so maybe prices will drop eventually. If prices do...

    Good software Synth

    Yo a lot of new gear is commin out in the next couple of months so you might wanna hold off till then. A lot of the hardware companies are going virtual. Yamaha, Korg, Waldorf, Novation, and a gang of other companies. Korg's commin out with a virtual legacy series which is their old MS-20...

    Timbaland

    That timbo/Lil Kim is HOT. The arrangement is super simple but its still dopeness. It'll get a party crackin quick. I mean if you just wanna chill it might not be the beat for you, but if you're at a club or a party nobody cares about chord progressions and movements. Club tracks shouldnt be too...

    Down South Hi hats

    Oh my bad, I thought you were taking about the lay out of the HH. If you're looking for that certain sound like triple 6 mafia you just need to find a good tr-808 drum kit. The 808 hi hats are what most southern producers use.
