Help with interface!
It might be your ram that's a problem then. You should be using at least 512 with all audio programs, especially if you're recording and need a decent quality. I'd get an upgrade in ram if I were you. Here's a few sites, but I'd compare prices if I were you: http://www.upgradememory.com/... -
Compression
No. I use compression three, maybe four times, if I'm in charge of tracking the session as well. I compress right after the mic pre when going in to Pro Tools/2" tape/DA-88/etc, then while mixing I compress the actual track, I may even compress a group of tracks (sub mix) and THEN I compress... -
so what's a good college 2 go 2 that teaches music production
Put it this way: Not nearly enough to start with to pay off your college loans. I started at Soundtrack NY at minimum wage. Guess how much min wage is in NYC. Done guessing? It's Five Fucking Fifteen an hour. It was in 2004 when I started, anyway. Now it should be up to $7.15, after... -
Compression
dB levels are all relative values, comparatively to other audio signals in your mix. Trust your ears first, your eyes second. Mix it so it SOUNDS good, not LOOKS good. Don't worry about the dB levels until you have your mix pretty much squared away. While you mix, use the meters for... -
so what's a good college 2 go 2 that teaches music production
I worked with three people at professional recording studios who went to Full Sail. One was an internship, of which he couldn't land a job afterwards because their human resources department didn't have any leads for him. It's who you know that will land you a job, and WHAT you know that... -
Help with interface!
See I don't even know if your M Audio Pre is USB. Is it? It may be that you don't have USB 2.0... that's sometimes the case with all USB devices, including mouse, flashdrives, etc. But that's just a stab in the dark, assuming your processing power is up to par and ram and all that jazz. Like... -

Tracking out a beat

Compression
Yo good article EQ. The threshold is the line that you set for the compressor to begin kicking in. So if your audio signal has a ceiling of -8dB and you set your threshold to -10dB, then only that top between -10 and -8 will be compressed. But say you set it to -6, then nothing will be... -
so what's a good college 2 go 2 that teaches music production
I went to the Art Institute of New England. The quality of education there was rated better than Berklee's audio production at the time. Really learned a lot, but some cats just didn't really gain anything from it. I picked the hell outta the teachers' brains tho, got a 3.8 accumulative GPA... -
Help with interface!
Don't know much about Acid freezing. But make sure it's the only thing you got running, maybe even try a different USB port for your interface? Do you have USB 2.0? -
callin all serious MC's(free beat)
I was walkin on Flatbush Ave in BK on Saturday and saw a sign that said "Brooklyn Academy of Music" and went "Oh shit, my boy just got offered a job there," and then laughed, cuz I barely know anybody on here. ha. -

Booth Headphones
For $250 they're probably good. But I guarantee that there will be some static. Your batteries will piss you off. I, personally, would hate to use them all the time for those reasons. Not to mention interference. Someone will be on a cellphone (especially Nokia) and you'll get that sound in... -
Tracking out a beat
Yea I always use 24bit when recording vocals. But bit depth is completely different from sample rate. You probably know this, but I'll clarify for those who don't: Sample Rate: This is how many "snapshots" you can take of an audio signal in one second. 44.1kHz means 44,100 snapshots, or... -
callin all serious MC's(free beat)
I AM an emcee and I'll kill that track. I'm picturin a storytellin vibe on it, hookless. Somethin like: I drop it like raw/ without a copyright law/ A classic at best, that will stop you like "Awww"/ Chopped it like swordz/ and you can sample ME loud n clear/ Claimin' my rights to write the... -
Tracking out a beat
This would be good for sending it to a mix engineer at a capable studio that can handle your conversion to and from 192 kHz... BUT I wouldn't recommend exporting to 192 kHz to 90% of the people on this forum. If you DO end up tracking out at 192, you should be sure that: 1) You... -
Laptop to Car Audio system
I've had freestyle sessions in the car with pro tools running on an Mbox using the 1/8" cassette tape adapter to the system. Surprisingly there was no feedback on the mic, because of all the padding on the roof and seats, etc. We were moving, and consuming gas (and my laptop's battery power)... -
Help Wit Setup!!!!!!
I'm not sure about SPDIF with the MPC. Does the MPC have SPDIF or optical out? I know the Mbox has SPDIF in and out, but I've never used it myself, nor do I know its compatibility with other equipment. That's where I'm not savvy at all. There's no way to record 8 tracks of audio... -
Compressin' and Reverbib' vocals.
Yea, good stuff Equality. Most people forget to cut off the highs at all, so I wanted to point that out, but good clarification. Also... decay times... Your decay time shouldn't be longer than a 1/4 note at absolute most, although that seems to be a little long depending on the beat and how...
