I think the point about live performances is the clincher - if you're going to be using maschine for live edits, then go with the adult model. If you're using it just for production, the mikro could be a real show stopper. I've been wanting to get maschine for a while - mikro may make me finally dip...

@amphibian yeah dont get to glitchy there cause then some people come and say skrillex! haha just kidding; but if you have build the tune around the actual vocal you know your scales and stuff so it makes it more easy to bring them in the tune. thanks for pointing out some issues on my tune, but i ...

KRKs are at the lower end of the budget range, playa.

successful black man I worked all summer for that 500 dollars

And people work their entire lives for a house. You're in for a rude awakening

@budspencertron - actually the tune was build up around the vocals, not the other way around. haha. I hate finding something to try and fit a tune you've already written. Imho that's the wrong way to go about it. However, I think I know what you're saying about the vocals - almost like glitching it ...

Managing the levels of individual tunes from the mixer is second nature, like u guys have said, it's not an issue. I merely wanted to know if anyone had tried to enhance their dj mixes with a tiny bit of compression/limiting, a lot of the mp3s we were using were vinyl rips from his old collection a...

@boman - too much reverb on that bass imho, and it really needs a lot more to flesh out the track. Also, considering how low your kick and snare are sitting, it doesn't quite fit the bass. I'd try giving some top-end to your snare (layer it with a clap or other samples) and the kick, I'd swap out fo...

Hello, I apologize for any noob mistakes, I've only been working with synths and DAW's for about a month now trying to better myself and learn as much as I can. anyway I was wondering if there was some kind of plugin out there to make life easy when it comes to automation. I'm using Logic 9 and if ...

I made a song, mixed it down and put a limiter on and got it to 0db with no peaking. Sounds absolutely fine when bounced as well. Send it over to someone and they put it in their mix and it sounds distorted when the bass and vocals come in. Could it be because the bass is too loud or something else...

lol wow - this old, oild thread was brought up by someone saying spam. lol. Thanks everyone

What's a good ambient/spacey sound FX VST, that's legit and is used for sub-bass synth, and atmospheric sounds? Thanks. lol. sub-bass - sine waves. Any synth will do this well. Atmospheric sounds - saw/square/pulse waves, low-passed, heavy reverb. Resample reverb, pitch up, take a small slice, repe...

I can't help but feel that some of the commentary is tongue-in-cheek humour, but still useful for those that want to learn. Thanks for your contribution

Chad - without decent monitors you won't hear what's going on. But, A good thing to do to really show what it's doing, is take a long bassline (say 1 bar), then compress it, with a ratio of about 4:1, and give it an attack of about 120ms. what you'll hear is the initial transient hit and then the ba...

very good start

FM synthesis. Greatest control over harmonics you could ask for.

Brand new to this guys the clip isnt eq'd or anything just a rough draft. i wanted to know some feed back from people who actually know there shit. dont be too harsh :/ lol http://soundcloud.com/fidel-castrate/fidel-castrate-fcking-idiot If you don't want any harshness, follow the fucking rules. Mi...

@chaddub - I'm a bit of a hiphop fan and I think you've got the structure down really, really well. Melodies are nicely written, synths aren't too bad (though they do sound a bit cheap). Doesn't sound muddy at all. I think the drums need more impact though - and some of the synths collide a little s...

Good to hear

Mixdowns just like the rest are all about practise - it all clicks after a while

@standby - that's a freakin' GREAT track man. Would love a 320 when done Disagree about more reverb on that gamey sound, imho it sits really nicely - just needs to be brought a little more forward and eq'd a little better.

@jimbeaux - mate, as has been said - this is a WIP forum. Personally I think you have a little too much pride and taking offense at what people say. Just because -you- think it's good, doesn't make it good. Try a little humility and take everything onboard. If you disagree, that's one thing - but to...
