Re: The Friday Share A Production Tip Thread™

Spend a day slicing up all of your favourite breaks and loading them into your drum machine of choice. Only recently did this and it has increased my workflow speeds tenfold! Gives you a much easier way of creating new breaks on the fly etc, and way more flexiblity and ease for programming new and i...

Re: Mastering for loudness!!

I rarely use transient designers at all, I do have a demo of shaack audio's one, which rarely got used, although it was good for maximising headroom (if you boost the drive up it will give you like an extra 3db headroom without affecting the audio too bad), but that's about it. And Cubase's in built...

Re: Don't laugh (too hard)

isnt FL Studio free upgrades for life? so if its a paid FL Studio 3, isnt it free to upgrade to 10?? Not necessarily? The free upgrades for life only come with the digital version, not the boxed. I had a boxed FL 7 and had to purchase the life time free upgrades for like 35 bucks. Also, dunno if th...

Here's my latest tune - there's more mixer tracks and more automation but it didn't wanna fit cause my screen is too small!!

Re: Skrillex is a sampler

I'm not really a big skrillex fan, but I find it funny how he basically pioneered a genuinely original, albiet heavy, sound and because people like it, it gets branded as unoriginal . . . *sigh*

Oh, so this guy, who's made some synth patches with a crappy synth gets soooooo many thanks a likes, but me, a guy who replicated Datsik bass from a fucking snare drum sample, gets hate. Yeah, way to go DSF. two things 1. no you didn't 2. stop crying I really can't tell if Chad is for real . . .

Re: apparently my wobbles aint intersting enough :/

I assume your talking about the rate of an lfo. Depending on where you're from, you might just be showing the wrong kind of music to the wrong people. What synth are you using? Regardless of that, just remember layer your osc. Widen your sound by dropping the pitch down just a few cents, add some r...
