    Pimpin it with Pro tools

    dj swivle: the vocalist do the mixing? i would figure you as the producer would give the vocalist the most finished product possible. better sounding to write to and half of the vocalists out there are completly technically illiterate.

    Any suggestions for making Hits?

    I would suggest choppin it up like this if you can. I use pro tools. you can lay a grid play any instrument or synth and chop the sound so it lasts the duration of a quarter note. then layer the shit out of it. play the same instrument in a different octave and chop it the same way and drop it...

    Pimpin it with Pro tools

    Id try it then. If, like someone mentioned earlier, you can get mbox for $250 then its not much of an investment. if you can run optical or spidf from your hardware, then youll wanna go with digi001 or 002 im not sure about the specifics. If you need 8 ins and 8 outs or more then youll wanna...
