    When you're mixing down a sampled beat...

    Har-Bal gives you a nice graphical view of what frequencies you're needing to cut/boost. Good starting point for a mix.

    Proper Mix B4 Mastering!!!

    This. Most problems come down to the room. I've noticed this ever since I moved to a new place. The sound of the room sucks, and there's very little I can do about it (unable to really alter the room due to landlord). My old room produced infinitely better mixes. Thanks for dropping that...

    changing pitch of loop

    Thanks man - was doing the same workaround with the EX24. Just thought it was weird that there's no way of doing fairly basic audio processing.

    changing pitch of loop

    Fairly new to using logic and getting frustrated trying to do something very simple. I have a 2 bar loop that I've dropped into my sequencer, and all I want to do is adjust the pitch of it (NOT by timestretching which I know how to do, but by dropping the pitch by like 3 semitones so the the...

    Chopping Samples during playback

    ^ Word. Hitting the '\' key during playback in logic then mapping the chops onto an ex24 sampler is possibly the most intuitive way I've ever found of chopping a break.

    Losing my creativity - and I've only just started?!?

    I hear what you're saying - just coming off a 2 month break from beatmaking; I was just getting frustrated with writers block (staring at a blank sequencer wondering wtf i'm gonna do!). The more u try and force the creative process, the more difficult it becomes. Spent the last 2 months smoking...

    What did you have to give up when you moved out?

    a crippling tax imposed by local government based on the value of the house you're living in, regardless of whether you own it or not. Basically fucks over anyone like myself on a lower income. Total bullshit.

    What did you have to give up when you moved out?

    yes man - that kind of stuff you need to cut. I did the same and you end up with about £150-200 a month more than I thought.

    What did you have to give up when you moved out?

    Beer and weed. Well maybe not give up, but cut down drastically. Definitely try and cut back on buying any gear unless its essential. You will regret buying a £400 mic when the heating bill drops in the letterbox...

    Which is better for chopping samples?

    I like soundforge - tend to get annoyed with recycle and feel i can do a better job myself.

    Turntables

    I would highly recommend the Focusrite Saffire LE if you've got firewire on your laptop. very clean sound and has decent preamps in it for mics. Also works well as a direct input box for recording guitar. It's about £200.

    computer migration question

    get hold of your reg number - u don't want to be booting your intel mac off an os installed on a g4 machine. Powerpc apps should run fine under intel; leopard os x has rosetta emulation for that purpose; native intel apps obviously run a lot smoother, but you shouldnt have any problems (provided...

    Turntables

    if you've already got a reasonable soundcard,I'd get an analog deck run through a decent preamp rather than a usb unit, since the analog-digital convertor's probably gonna be better in your sound card than in a USB turntable that most likely costs less than your soundcard. Having said that I...

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    ^ no, not really. The foam'll just help with the accoustics in a room. Only way to keep the sound in would be soundproofing proper; double dry walls, suspended ceiling etc.

    Mbox 2 vs Mox 2 Pro

    firewire is completely different interface from usb - so no, shouldn't affect usb bandwidth.

    WTF? Once Again It Defies Logic

    gun death rate per 100 000 population in US is 10.3 for UK, where gun control is very tight it's 0.15 per 100 000. Seems a pretty direct link.
