i used to make music, now I just make porn.
maybe that was my problem.

would the MCs mic suffice?

Needles will pick that up, even at a low level.

excellent advice.
also turn your speakers off.

numark ttx1s are great tables. every dj that touches my decks state that they've very impressed. solid solid tables. go for techs tho - get used to the industry standard or it will be problematic for a while. just buy them one at a time if you can't afford them. the dif btwn cheap cd decks and cheap...

All the little jungle boys switched to Cubase. Chopping up loops was way easier in acid than anything else. I am just going to stick with it. However Cubase I have heard nothing but the raddest things! Donna - try Ableton's Live. It reminded me a lot of acid when I started using it. (I'm a cubase u...

yeah set quantize to 4T or w/e. the t means triplet.

just drop a loud part and make sure that the tune isn't peaking above 0db.
hit record - 44khz 16 bit is fine (CD quality)

get a card with a breakout box or a usb/firewire card to avoid noise being introduced from your stack. you want the adacs to be outboard.

FSTZ: what I'd like to get my head around is that "metallic" sounding bassline

-> me too. like rusko's jahova that grimey mid range bass quality.

over here the big guys use cds or both because they're dropping dubs they made 2 hours ago, or just recieved from huge producers.
The vibe in dubstep is not the same as dnb. vinyl purism is dead imo.

if you use lots of pads i would recommend trying to write tunes without pads that sound full as an excersize. when i started writing, i used pads in every tune. i read that this is done alot because pads tend to cover a large frequency range, so to the ear, they make the tune sound a lot more full. ...

another alternative solution to this problem is to sample a note and then put the sample into a sampler to have consistent velocity. further, this frees up some cpu. on the downside, it will add some aliasing during pitching etc - you likely won't notice though.

diff for every track. music is play not work - don't approach it with technique and theory, approach it with innocence and a smile. think of it as finger painting rather than architecture in every situation you can. experiment and let your subconcious react to what you hear until you have a coherent...

nod ya motherfuckin' head til ya break yo neck, in time with the tune that is playing. then nod your head in time with the one in your headphones...get 'both' your heads nodding at the same time and the two tunes will be mixed. or tap your foot. lol. are you really saying what I think you're saying...

iunno. it's hard to say today. dubstep is really digital these days. if you buy vinyl, you'll be limited. i visited some steppers for a sesh the other day and i was the only one that brought vinyl. pioneer cdj200 are a great buy. you can always get a table or two later if you want, and you can cut c...

sorry this may sound stupid, but can someone explain swing and how to apply it in live reason or cubase?
swing is just a hat being moved a bit ahead of the click on two and then behind on 3 ahead on 4 behind on 5 etc etc right?

your real concern here shouldn't be variances between mixers but variances between your decks and the ones at the club. mixers are all the same shit, but if you're used to decks with a certain feel, you may be thrown off when you use techs. there may be an adjustment period every time you step in to...

so hard to write with a sub... find the rolloff freq of your monitors. ie) 47hz. set the cutoff freq for the filter on your sub to that freq apx - if anything a touch higher imo, although some will argue. (if your monitors have adjustable freq, have your sub cover as much low-end as possible - if yo...

Always seperate. In additional to eqing seperately I'll tend to verb only those snares which I intuitively feel will have a nice texture in the space. eq the snares seperately, but if you want to treat the final 'snare' as one, send it to a group for further processing/control. Applying a small ammo...
