    Afghanistan.. To Be There or Not To be There..

    I think that the internet needs to learn that no one owes anyone an answer to a question just because they've asked it... It's an opinionated topic, true. But to assume that you know what goes on in foreign wars and the political motives behind it with no real-world experience just looks...

    Best Sampling Tool

    You're thinking about programming a sampler??? That's sweeeeeet! My dream sampler would be a software hybrid of an MPC-style sampling and chopping mechanism (time-based) with the flexibility of something like Logic's EXS24. I think the number one thing is latency. Kontakt is cool, but I'll...

    A Mafia Hit In Italy Caught On Video

    That's not really how blood pressure works... It's not actual pressure pushing blood out of you, it's the pumping of your heart that squirts the blood out and the strength of the heart's ability to push depends entirely on the veins/arteries being a closed system... so as soon as you make a...

    A Mafia Hit In Italy Caught On Video

    Hard to say, he shot him in the gut/chest first which causes massive and very fast internal bleeding and takes the pressure off the carotid and jugular..which is what makes a shot to the head so instantly bloody... so there might not necessarily be any spray or fast-flowing blood right away...

    Akai Sucks! Read on for an interesting tale.

    Akai screwed me a few years back so I got a Korg padKontrol... much happier with that combined with software than I ever was on an MPC... as far as I'm concerned, Akai is kinda right about just making the MPC for the hip hop cats... it doesn't have a lot of other uses beyond sampling and...

    Thoughts on pirated software?

    ... just silliness... I think you are seriously misinformed as to what it takes to develop any sort of DAW or plugin. True, there are "code libraries" (also known as legacy code) to make certain common functions easier to program.. but as the name 'legacy code' would imply, it's old code...

    Afghanistan.. To Be There or Not To be There..

    Although I'm glad you agreed with most of what I said, I think that there's a distinction to be made here. The "American Public" as we think of it, does not exist. Unlike some places in the world, we are not united against anything. There is no single thing that unites all Americans, we are way...

    Accordions are cool?

    I think that's what stops this idea in it's tracks. Does anyone know an accordion player anywhere? Maybe I could get in touch with a Jewish band that plays bar mitzvahs or something and sample them : )

    Accordions are cool?

    There's a few sample packs out there with accordion loops in them... but I didn't really like them. Someone really should get on working out a hip hop based accordion pack... or a multisampled, multiformat accordion for use in EXS24 or Kontakt or something.

    Afghanistan.. To Be There or Not To be There..

    Someone should have said that in 1978 to Jimmy Carter.... ever since we started fucking with Iran, they've been threatening to blow us to pieces... now we depose Saddam (the only motherfucker crazy enough to keep Iran and the Taliban in check) and we're having more problems without him there...

    Afghanistan.. To Be There or Not To be There..

    Anyone ever read 1984 by George Orwell. The purpose of war is not necessarily to win or gain territory, but to expend our federal resources at a level large enough that things can be hidden within that spending. Does it really cost 1.4 billion to build a special jet? How do I know? I "know"...

    Drum orientation on keys

    You are the human, you will best the machine. It can't adapt, you can. Here's the manual; http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000062079.pdf As far as I can see, you won't be able to change the note value of each key... What program are you using? You can often...

    5 Common Qualities in TOP 10 Songs Of the YEAR

    I can't say that I'm all too informed on psychoacoustic stuff.. but it's worth it for you guys to look into the concept of binaural beats and perceived sound placement in the brain... If you haven't already. Can't say it's the secret, but it's definitely common to a lot of sounds we hear and...

    Vocal PreAmps

    What I would recommend is to go to a music store somewhere and tell them you're interested in buying a preamp and have them demo a few for you. Of course, you won't buy it there because I'm sure there's a cheaper one online... but at least you'll get an idea of what a good preamp will do to your...

    I am moving this weekend, I got Swine flu and I am in a hotel in IL

    If I see a link to webcam feed with a dead body in the next few days... I'm going to a therapist.

    Thoughts on pirated software?

    Well, I don't sell software... nor do I use code in what I do make... I do sell digital goods, and maybe in the general sense that we all use an OS to access digital products I use code... but not in any specific way....

    Thoughts on pirated software?

    I have come to a similar conclusion and decided on this course of action; Fuck the old shit, we move on and make new shit... that's also part of hip hop.... I'm gonna just keep rollin on the next one and put that out... if people steal it, I'll make a new one.... steal that one and I'll make...

    New sound separation technique on Funky Worm

    Okay then, in the first 0:15 of "Stir It Up" by Bob Marley there's a sound that sounds like a digeridoo mixed with a moog synth or something...You'll know what I mean when you hear it. Can you get that out?

    Pros/Cons of a huge sample library...

    Indeed, I feel like I've wasted time gathering and organizing that could have been spent making music or staying up on my website or something. Also very true that it's like a drug... I'm hooked for sure.

    Pros/Cons of a huge sample library...

    My sample library is off the charts... no other way to put it... I've got around 10GB of drum samples, near 100GB of Reason ReFills, about 5GB of REX files I bought and another 2-3GB in REX files I've made and I don't even know how many mp3s and wavs/aiffs of samples I've pulled but have yet to...
