    Mixing without Visual Meters/Indicators

    Ya, like meters are great! But I just want that listen to my music, not see my music kind of feel you know? Then after I get the track where I want, then check out the meters to see for accuracy + comparison etc.

    Mastering your own music.. is it possible?

    Solid points - I definitely agree with the fresh set of ears. It's so easy to listen to the same track for a couple hours and then kind of forget where you're at lol. I still feel it's possible to achieve your own mastering if you know what you're doing + using reference tracks to get a...

    Mixing without Visual Meters/Indicators

    Here's an interesting one for you.. It's something I've felt recently regarding mixing. What do you guys feel? By no means am I telling you to not use meters! (Meters help us determine what's going on in our music!) But I feel that when seeing these types of meters like frequency...

    Mastering your own music.. is it possible?

    Here's a thought that came to me the other day. I was asked by a reader on my blog to help them push some extra loudness out of their track. They were struggling with their peaks, getting in the way of extra loudness. I told them to send me the un-mastered version, and I gave it my attempt at...

    Fl Studio 11 vs Fl Studio 12

    I'd say people wait to avoid bugs. I jumped on FL 12 right away though, that mixer makes the workflow a lot better. Now if I ever open up FL 11, it looks like something from the 90's in compared to FL12 lol

    The Akai MPC Touch Comes with a Touchscreen

    Watching the videos, I was thinking in the $300 -/+ range.. $800! Ya right! lol Why not spend a bit more and get a Maschine Studio ? I honestly find touch screens pretty finicky.. For example like when using a touch screen to edit text on a phone; can be a time consuming process, and you still...

    How to Connect a MIDI Keyboard to your Computer!

    Haha, MIDI is so confusing! - I remember my first attempts at programming my MIDI Keyboard to make the transport buttons (play, stop, record) work in FL Studio, before they made a template for my brand, which sets it all up for you! What a learning curve! Appreciate the response Fade!

    Thanks Fade! - I got an awesome deal on a camcorder, so it's been making creating videos a lot more fun, where I talk in the beginning! I was using a DSLR camera previously.. but didn't have auto focus lol, so never knew 100% if the video was in focus - no longer an issue with the camcorder...

    How to Sample a Beat, What To Look out For, and Chopping Up a Sample in Slicex

    Hey everyone, Here's a recent tutorial I released on "How to Sample a Beat". When starting up sampling, there's a lot of information that can cause that "too much information at once" kind of feeling. So hopefully this video breaks it down. After the first part of going over what to look out...
