    Gone 48bit / 96Khz

    i think often the higher sample rates do not warrent the extra strain they place on your computer... if i am to use higher sampling rates for recording or for a whole project including synths sample shit etc. i would use 88.2 not 48 or 96 (much easier to dither from 88.2 to 44.1 than 96 or 48...

    "Mastering Compression" Article

    something often overlooked........ for all the samplers out there what your sampling is genreally already compressed in the mixing process and mastered so compressing more is just ludicrous...... also if you use one hit drum sample cdees they are usually alreadily heavily compressed so...

    Is there a better reverb plug-in for Cubase SX?

    eqing verb is very important...... give you great sonic control you can take mud out or darken your verb make it more shimmerry etc. another good thing to try (p.s. in the bus the verb is always 100% wet and you send as feed as much verb in as you want) is gating / and or compressing your verb...

    Is there a better reverb plug-in for Cubase SX?

    pharoah changing your reflection setting MIGHT get rid of the metallic ring (sometimes) i have used most reverbx and it doesn't get a lot better than reverbx (timeworx) has all the neccessary controls (i always put my verb in a bus and eq it with voxengo gliss eq (use gliss eq for nearly all my...

    Why does MIDI phase in & out on low frequencies?

    i am not sure if anyone can clarify this if you have a patch from your plugin that is stereo going into the output for the plugin and you have the plugins output set to mono will the plugin then operate internally as mono (defeating phasing issues) or will the signal instead me changed to mono...

    Why does MIDI phase in & out on low frequencies?

    with bass using plugins (or recording electric or upright acoustic bass etc.) recording in mono in the norm. with synth bass i usually use mono and if i want width just mix down and clone the track (panning either side). with bass if you're having problems with phase just use mono !! (bass is...

    Drum Patterns

    learn the basics man like make beats to start off with just 'keeping time' with 8th's hats snare on 2 and 4 kick on 1 and 3 etc. then start moving your kick around. good bpm to learn at (depending on type of hip hop) is about 95 (i'm talking boom baps).

    Ethics

    this thread while devoid of educational worth has had great entertainment value. thx guys !! 1 more message just to detract from the opening statemnt. the first time a song was sampled (i am talking terms here as yes dj's had been juggling for a quite a while already) was kurtis blows If I...

    Lets talk about drums

    kick placement is definitely an important thing. i think also that in hip hop people often neglect all the different timbres phrasings etc. (general possibilities) that can be achieved with the humble hi hat try changing up from straight 8ths hats use some open hats definitely make sure your...

    Need help choosing a synth!

    novation bass station (make sure it is the original analog model) is a nice buy. you know if you want one fat machine for all you synth bass sounds. i recently sold a couple of analog synths (keyboards too bulky) but i thyink i'll get a novation bass station (rack) when i get an analog synth again
