thanks for listening all. well, this beat is actually just a little drum beat, not music. i programmed this quickly using just a few drum samples, only to practice some scratches that day that i was sick. i recorded the scratches and then mixed them properly, so this is not intended to stand as an i...

negative. dont research how to make good music. leave your intellect at the door and create what comes natural. yes, but i didn't say that. you can't make good music by reading manuals obviously. what you can do is learn to use the software, choose what's more appropriate, learn the basics such as ...

you'll also need to do a LOT of reading, starting with the user manuals and guides, then tutorials, techniques, videos, magazines, articles on the web, forums like this one and so on.

if you want to make anything decent, that's mandatory.

first off, you have to calculate the latency of your sound card and manually enter the number in the preferences menu. there's a section in the help file that tells you how to do that. however, this didn't work for me. anyway, you can also try numbers and manually check your latency and after a lot ...

All in all I want to have about 50 different sounding clips from the same source sample ... YES this is the kind of shit I some...

Would changing over from Acid 4.0 to this be worthwhile? I'm pretty content with acid, but you never know. get acid 5. i stopped using fl and totally got into acid 4 and ableton live. now i got acid 5 and it rocks! no doubt that fl is still a strong app, especially the 5 version, but i'll go with a...

Re: We should have a production theory thread

knowledgeable/dope guys on this board who are you talking about? anyway, i don't think that this is the place for something like that. that's because we have almost 10 messages or less in the sound lab daily. what i mean is, you can ask anything in a new thread. we're all going to see it and reply ...

when using records, a good thing to do (that's what i do), is look for grooves that you can see with your eye. they are not so tight written with music and they have a darker color. you can see what i mean when your record reaches a part that has a solo, or an acapella, or just atmosphere. these par...

me too, i'm working on my album that's called "dirty beats" :)

but, in my opinion you just gotta make'm dirty instead of using lo-fi samples. it's not bad, i do that too, but you have to be extra careful on the drums.

dope beat. it sure needs a better mix, there's a lot of annoying hiss. or maybe you need to clear the drums somehow, or use clearer drum samples.
