    ProTools Le......HELP

    Sometimes the weird and annoying popping and cracking sound is due to a hardware or software problem. Have you ever gotten an error message while recording or playing back? (Like DAE error -9000)? What interface do you have? MBox? There has been a glitch in the MBoxes, that you have to...

    MUltitracks????

    There's a reason that Pro Tools is the industry standard in all studios, and you'll see when you get a copy. I'm not sure if they still offer Pro Tools Free, but it's limited to 8 mono tracks and you can't open your sessions in later versions of PT. But for PT Free, you don't need to buy a...

    Training Your Ears

    Training your ears is important if you want to really get good at mixing. Then you can say shit like "There's too much 8 kHz in the vocals, and they're too sibilant" and "This guitar track sounds boxy with all that 500 Hz on it." Has anyone ever heard about Golden Ears? It's a CD that...

    21 Grams

    Shit sounds hot. Is it that compressed on the actual CD? It does sound a bit slammed and maybe distorted from where I'm listenin. But other than that, shit's fire.

    Dirty it up

    If you sample your own composed shit, make sure it's layered, and filter it out. Even take one of your old beats, with bass and everything in it, take a chop of it, chop it up more, and filter out the low end. It doesn't necessarily have to be "dirty" meaning 12-bit, but if you took some tape...

    my sample?

    Sometimes it's your selection of drums that compliments the sample. Maybe your drums are too hard and the sample just sits in the back. Maybe your drums are too soft and the sample just sounds too normal. Maybe your levels need to be tweaked. Maybe your drum pattern and rhythm isn't...

    Warning: You may call me "Stupid". LOL..

    TrackBurnas sounds str8, but I did a search, and someone posted in a blog that there's a crew out there... http://www.poemcees.com/weblog/2003_11_01_archive.html Just make sure your name claims what you do. If all you do is beats, then have it represent that. If all you do is mix, then have...

    Compression

    I mean that you should put a parametric EQ before your monitors. NOT on your master channel. It's not to MIX it with the EQ on it, it's so that your monitors are closer to a flat response in your room, and when you do mix, it sounds closer to normal compared to other systems. You would have...

    Help with interface!

    It sounds like a ram issue. I had the same problem when I had Cool Edit Pro 2.0 back in the dayz and I was trying to record a session. There was this little green bar that would refresh when the computer was good and ready to record. Sometimes it took like 10-20 seconds, if there were a lot...

    Compression

    If you don't end up with good monitors, then do what I did when I had some shitty joints... Mix it, then listen to it EVERYWHERE and then take notes on what's too bumpy, too low, too thin, and just not there. I used to valet park cars when I was goin 2 school in Boston and I'd test it out on...

    so what's a good college 2 go 2 that teaches music production

    Yo Swivel... did you have any classes with that dude Hunter? I hear you have to sign a waiver b4 you go to his house. I met that dude at the AES Convention at the Javits Center in '03. Nice mullet on that dude if I ever saw one.

    so what's a good college 2 go 2 that teaches music production

    Yea BlackSox, I hear you. To implement our passion into our living is probably our biggest challenge. It's always gonna be "that chick on the side", until something huge happens. This can be helped by getting more than one foot in the door. If you're always around it, then chances of it...

    Compression

    I'm curious to see how well har-bal works, and what its drawbacks are. Most studios with SSLs have spectrum analyzers that you can use while mixing, and everything is EQed accordingly. But after the fact, I'm curious to what it does to your mix when you've already mixed down, and you're now...

    Cash Rulez!!!!!

    If I were you I would write them up myself. And if you want, send a draft to me and I'll check it out for you and proof it. It should come from you, being that it's your shit being sold, and all the particulars should come from you. Just know... any contract is valid and it doesn't have to be...

    Dual Monitor Setup

    Brightening your mix

    I would EQ each track independently when you mix. Sometimes the bass freqs will interfere with the low-mid sounds of the melodies, and the higher freqs in the melodies will compete with vocals. If you rolled off some of the low-mids from your bass, then it won't be so rough sounding. And your...

    tell me wha chu think.

    Yea I know cats who would buy tons of equipment, then call me the next day, like "Yo Hypno, show me how to use this shit!!!" I'd figure it out in 10 minutes, make a beat and they'd be like "That's a hot beat, can I have it?" I'd of course say "Nope" and save it on my shit and delete it from...

    Cash Rulez!!!!!

    Seriously. He doesn't own the rights to the beats. You still own the copyright to them, even if you haven't copyrighted them yet. It's okay to give away a few beats here and there. That's how you get to a better level to make demands from. But, there is a point where you say: "Okay, I...

    How to have a clean/crisp sound??

    I don't know what you mean about 160 and 170 being your highs, low and middle. What exactly are you trying to sample? Low-end ends between 150-200 Hz, and how can your low to mids be higher than your high-end? Do you mean that's where your highs begin? If you're trying to filter bass from...
