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...
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...
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...
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.

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...
I have a pair of Maxtor drives right now. 320GB and a 160GB. My 40GB is by WD. They're all ATA drives and they work fine. Granted, I just got the Maxtors within the last few months, so they had better work fine.
Losing data is not something I take lightly, having lost 2 EP's and countless...
'tis true.
Steinberg once started development on Cubase and/or Nuendo for SGI's Irix (I used to own an SGI Indy R5000-150/256MB machine) years ago. Woulda been nice to have back in those days.
Ardour for Linux and OSX is about as close as you're gonna get. Rosegarden qualifies too, but...
Hardly. I build a PC, I don't touch it again unless I upgrade something. That's what I call ZERO maintenance. TCO for someone like me is ZERO past the initial investment. I don't worry about virii because I'm smart enough to know how to keep them off my PC FOR FREE (Free AVG Anti Virus keeps a...
Dell has been shipping 8 core systems for a good while now. The Precision 690 I have here at may desk has the option for up to 8 cores. Mine has two, dual core Xeon's. Specwise, the Precision 690 pretty much demolishes the Mac, and you can configure a far more powerful PC for less money than the...
I used to take my sequential boards apart regularly (Prophet 10 and Multi-Trak). The Prophet was a beast to handle, definitely not for the faint of heart. I used to do it to tweak the tuning 'cause it would drift a bit.
The Multi Trak wasn't bad at all. I took that one apart once a year to...
been rockin a Gemini 626 Pro2 mixer for nearly 10 years now. the thing still works well.
Vestax is making the mixers a lot of cats buy, especially battle DJ's.
The last eprom update pretty much resolved the sequencer issues.
The Pro has Stomper drum synth built-in (which has always been downloadble for the PC). I've used it on the PC over the years and it's a cool little utility.
The internal sounds are very useable, but with the Urban Dance Kit...
I have Sonar 6 PE and it have almost everything I need to make music. I've simply added a handful of VST's/DXi's and I'm solid. I've been using that more than Cubase SX3 lately, but still not as much as FL Studio.
???
Why not? I have a machine with 512MB RAM that does just fine with VSTi's. 1.3GHz Athlon Thunderbird running XP SP2, Cubase SX3, Kontakt, FM8, Pro53, Attack, M1, Wavestation, and FL Studio among other things.
in a word, yes.
However, it's best to use a 64bit OS to fully utilize that 4GB. Though XP and use 4GB on paper, you need a bit of modification to get it to use over 2GB properly.

yeah... I posted that article in a few places. Dave was a good friend of mine. We had done a few shows together, I sold him the gear he used to record his first EP. He's the reason I got into Pro Tools, and he's the biggest reason I stepped back behind the turntables. He gave me copies of some...
