Re: Absolute BEST Professional Sample Packs???

Whoaaaa, vengeance samples are top notch, ignore the haters. Sooooo many successful producers use them. People hate on them because they're popular and expensive, like they airways do with things like that (massive, for example). Also really good are the Hy2rogen Full Phat Drums packs. People aren'...

Re: Absolute BEST Professional Sample Packs???

There is no 'best', we're like 10 posts in and people have already mentioned a ton of different sample packs. I personally find vengeance 1 shots to be complete garbage, their loops and effects are nice though. The majority of stuff I use is from producers putting out their own packs (emperor/centra...

Re: Who gets lonely in the studio?

Nah, much like skateboarding or whatever other hobby, it's a way for me to just get away and do my own thing. That being said I'd love to collab with someone, the only people I know who are into production have a lot less knowledge on the whole thing than I do. It makes it a little more difficult be...

Re: Logic Pro X Released!

From what I saw it puts them in a group, but you can't put effects or anything on it like a normal bus. It's just a group with a master volume fader. Then again I was just watching a youtube video where someone was going over the features, so I've got no first hand experience

Re: Logic Pro X Released!

13'' MBP combined with that insane increase in font size and funky GUI changes really turns me off. A little disappointed that track stacks doesn't put tracks into a bus, rather just a group with a volume fader. I've gotten so used to the key commands and shortcuts I've made in Logic 9 that switchin...

Re: Turn Monitors Off Each Time?

I think I left my monitors on for an entire summer once. I was super paranoid about this too and now I just turn them off before bed. This post contributes nothing, just thought I'd chime in!

Re: Assembling Percussion

Try finding a break (or layering a few) that gives you the rhythm and or shuffle you want. use your one shots to compliment and bring that groove out even more. I find it pretty tough to just drop one shots onto the grid and make an interesting groove, but after throwing some breaks in there you can...

Re: When writing a song what's the first thing YOU go to?

I'm really trying to get some new creative ways to begin writing my songs. For example: Do you write all the notes/midi out in 1 piano channel and then when you're done break the notes up and begin sound design? Or do you jump straight to sound design and build from there? Recently its been load a ...

Re: Logic Pro X Released!

Wow this looks pretty nice. Track stacks would be a welcome addition, i'd love to mess with the drum kits and new synths.. and there's finally an arp. I already love everything in Logic 9, these added bonuses would be great. I'd be a fool to upgrade to an inevitably buggy logic 10 right now though, ...

Re: Today's electronic music

Oh I'm not denying they sound the same, they all follow the same formula and it's gotten a bit ridiculous. I'm just confused as to why there is just now a huge fuss over it when entire subgenres have sounded 'samey' before. You could do the same mashup with 16 songs from the dubstep top 100, or from...

Re: The Next Level

^Don't do that. Unless you mean emulate their work ethic or creativity or something. You're better off making quirky electric-polka in your basement instead off following the trend and contributing to the already superfluous noise floor. But you can definitely take inspiration from other producers ...

Re: Do you think you can make it

Ya, although 'making it' is pretty subjective. Enter a beatport remix competition and sift through 65 pages of pure shit and keep your hopes alive. Honestly all you need is to get your foot in the door and you can maintain yourself because there will always be someone loving your tunes. Look at some...

Re: Today's electronic music

Look further than any of the beatport charts, in any genre, and you'll find some quality stuff. Everything has it's place though. That mashup of those bigroom house tracks all sound the same but they each tear up a dancefloor, so what are you gonna do? If you're not feeling it don't listen to it
