    Hip-Hop Drum Theory

    As we have all talked about, having a background in playing music, chords, theory, ect. makes a big difference. However, I know almost nothing about drum theory. I am sure someone has broken down hip-hop drum theory specifically. There has to be general rules that apply for something to...

    i've read all posts on recording vocals- but.....

    The static comes from dirty power. The power you get from the walls in your house is dirty. It jumps around in voltage; it isn't a clean even signal. In a recording studio the power is regulated so its clean, and you get less of that annoying hum. If you have a laptop, try recording running...

    Bad Boys Of Comedy

    I just watched the first episode on demand. The comics were funny, but does anyone think Puffy is going a little far? Russell Simons is a great guy to emulate, but did he really need a spoken word show on HBO as well? Lets just say he did; every comic is wearing a brand new Sean John outfit...

    Reason 3 problem !!

    I've had that problem, happens with cool edit and Recycle. I think its a bug. either that or reason is going into re-wire slave mode since cool edit is rewire enabeled which switches up how things work. This shouldn't cause samples not to appear but it does sometimes cause problems.

    i need help with reason 3

    You either need a midi controller( and if you really are trying to make beats you deff need a midi controller) or you need to turn your attention to the bottom half of Reason which is the transport. That’s where you put in bars as you were saying. If you click the button at the top left corner...

    Who is in the industry

    I just moved to NY to take a job at a digital music distribution company. I was wondering if there is anyone else on this board who is in the music industry. Might be beneficial to network a little.

    Who Got Reason 3.0 yet ?

    Reason Review I love reason, but 3.0 wasn't much of an improvement. Refills- Dope. The new nnxt multi-samples are amazing Combinator- This thing allows you to save a bunch of reason instruments together and play them as one instrument. Maybe a time saver if their is some complicated...

    master?before or after vocals?

    1. When you are mixing your beat, you need to leave room for your vocals. Basic physics says that two things cant occupy the same space. So, no two similar sounds can be in the same place on the mix which is where panning and levels come in. So your hats and mid to high freq sounds can't be...

    Can't Stop Making Mellow Beats, Plz Help Me!!

    I have the same problem. I once saw a Mr. Rogers when I was a kid where he visited a marble sculptor. This guy starts with a huge block of marble and a chain saw, and he said, "I never know what I'm going to make, I just see what’s inside." He cut the block up and it turned out a beautiful...

    M-Powerd Pro Tools is a cut down version of LE

    I just go back from Guitar Center where I was checking out the new M-Audio sound cards that run M-Powered Pro Tools. The guy that I was talking to told me that Pro Tools LE is very similar to the real pro tools, it just has less tracks. However, he said the m-powered pro tools is a...

    Interview with Bob Clearmountain in Mix magazine http://mixonline.com/recording/interviews/audio_bob_clearmountain/ For your studio monitors, I see KRK E8s with a subwoofer, Yamaha NS-10M Studios and what are those little Apple speakers? My favorite speakers. Unfortunately, Apple stopped...

    Buying a new sound card: WILL I REALLY HEAR A MAJOR difference?

    Audiophile 2496 This card has gotten good reviews lately, and the fact that it now works with pro-tools makes it even more valuable. However, I don't understand how you are supposed to monitor with it. It has a single set of rca's for outputs. Where do you plug in your headphones? Some of the...

    Tricking Reason with Midi Tempo

    Thanks man, but this slows the whole track down. I am not looking to change the tempo of the track, I just want to change the speed reason thinks the track is recorded at so other elements such as the Dr. can be used. Ie. I want the track which says it is recorded at 222 BPM to play at 100 BPM...
