The internet is nowadays the ONLY reliable source of information , no matter how daft this sounds. It is reliable because EVERYBODY has almost full access to everything. That means that you can cross-examine any opinion-idea with different-opposite opinions-ideas and make up your own mind on what ...

I wonder why people describe the effects of this shit as a "trip". That

word implies some sort of kinda coherent hallucinating or at the very

least a hallucination that appears coherent to yourself during the "trip"

but is complete nonsense afterwards.


Salvia's "high" is not any of the above ...

there are widthers but thats not really the main thing to solve stereo image. a trick i use is mono reverbs and pan them behind the sound u got that is panned. another trick for me is eqing L & R seperatly. So duplicate ur channel, pan them left and right and give both sides a different eq ...

I have the Waves bundle and I use the S1-Imager to get more stereo width out of a track. I am sure there are free plugins that do the same but i haven't needed one yet so I cant help.

BONUS, unrelated question: Can I control what application has possession of the sound card manually without said ...

Well they (Prosoniq) did it to themselves. If you check their site their motto is "Reverse Engineer Your Music". And I am pretty sure there are pirated plugins for the Mac as well. Less people to D/L them I s'pose. And maybe with more money to spend. F*** prosoniq. Their stuff was crap anyway ...

cheers for the tips, i dread 2 think how many years it would have taken me to learn this stuff myself.




Probably a lot less than it took me my friend. You are lucky to be a "beginner" in this wonderful new world of production forums, free software and youtube tutorials. Back in the day (not ...

This shit, I mean, I think I went on holiday or just didn't read enough forums or something, but suddenly sidechaining is this saviour of all shit. Bollocks. It's a tool, and it can be handy. But sidechaining all this shit to all everything else to shoehorn another element that doesn't NATURALLY ...

soak alllll the information up that you can from the dude.

Yeah thats the plan . And then I'll kill him after I make him sign the studio over to ME. Seriously tho all people who can find time (I do it and i don't know what free time is) should try to find someone from the old guard and leech-let ...

Macc do you live in a tent in the forum somewhere? Honestly dude you seem to always be around to offer a helping hand. And how come you don't hog the info?
I spend 3 days out of every week working as an assistant-apprentice (read bitch) to the one single proper mastering engineer in my (musically ...

Wow. Awesome thread. Fletcher-Munson curves, relative gain structure and plenty of hands-on practical advise. There is more to this forum and its members than meets the eye. I am really glad to be a part . Beginners should take notes these are things that were normally understood after years of ...

Until someone makes a DAW that can make coffee, fix a drink, roll a joint and give you a blowjob they are all the same.
Sound goes in sound comes out , there's some techy shit happening in between , everybody wins , hooray!



Also you can change the skin for Ableton, I always work in "Midnight ...

Try pianoteq. It's a great idea in that it doesn't use multisamples but a modelling synthesis engine and it sounds absolutely fantastic without eating up half your cpu or hd. It's quite expensive tho (at 250 euros).
Check it out at http://www.pianoteq.com/

Highpass and maybe some mid-hi eq. Compress if needed. Add reverb.
For a more creative groove i use a shortish quantized delay (most times dotted eighths) with ping pong enabled. Autopan is good sometimes for movement. I don't usually use modulation fx (phasers etc) as most of the time the hats are ...

Either a cello or a trombone...

Cubase SX3
Ableton Live


Pro-Tools (at work- i fukin hate PT)


I also highly recommend Audio-Mulch ( www.audiomulch.com )but only to those with an experimental vein. It can teach you loads about how audio works in general.

On monitoring
If you haven't already invest some money on room treatment.

This is a very good package for smaller rooms.

As for monitors IMO don't take any advice but that from your own ears. On a mid-high price range there many excellent ...

Got it. Cheers.

It may be herbal but I had found that thread before I posted and could make absolutely no sense of it :u:
I can see the string of INIT patches at the end of the presets list but selecting them didn't do anything but keep the last preset i used ...

Good sub. And now a noob question . Here goes . How the phunk do you get an empty patch in albino? You know so you can start from scratch . The GUI in that thing fucks with my patience. So many tabs.... and I can almost taste the power of the thing ... AAARGH

Maybe those that say that Albino is ...

Had some experience with the Focusrite (Novation's "mother" company) service department and although the service was excellent the price was quite steep . Parts are definitely cheaper for Novation gear compared to the ones for Focusrite gear tho. Good luck anyways.
