    syncing mpc to pro tools

    it might be hard if you dont have many inputs on your computer. assuming that because you have pro tools free you arent running pro tools hardware. but if you run stereo out of your mpc then it would probably work. as for midi i dont use it much. from mpc i would record each loop from each pad...

    Destroy All Fruity Loops Software....NOW!

    ya fruity loops is dope. It makes it soo easy to do up quick loops and i have more creative mistakes that sound good on that program. but once i do the final mix i will have taken each drum sound and polished it and placed it into pro-tools, but still using my fruity loops track as a template.

    big time producers hiring musicians to reproduce sequences

    yah all thats tru.. i just started bringing in more session musicians. personally i think it is some of the most fun ive had. as for replaying other peoples loops, i wont do that. Usually the musician and myself will sit down together and piece together the loop from scratch. sometimes ill do...

    computer effects

    Pretty much hardware can be a hastle. mostly i use the effects that came with my protools setup when making beats and then if i want some sick vocal effects ill use the hardware. sometimes theres nothing like a nice spring reverb pumping back thru the lyricists headphones to make him perform...

    Trinity

    I know whatcha mean about sampling. These days I always play out my own peices on a keyboard and treat the peices as samples and loop and chop as needed. if I want that live feel Ill play out the piece for the whole song. or just for a bridge or intro or outro. if you have all that training...

    how do you make your basslines?

    Any synth users?

    I use a yamaha W7. its the shit. MPC's are dope but to get that real music feel you need to either have some dope creative samples or use a synth. now thats only my opinion but I think people always will apreciate some live keys even if they dont know what exactly their listing too

    Pro tools

    the sound is a crackly sound that gets louder when the vocals get louder and is silent when quiet. Im using an audiophile 24/96 audio card and the drivers that came with that. the sound doesnt happen in any of the other audio programs that I use. (fruity loops, sound forge, winamp)

    Pro tools

    Im using pro tools 5.1 to do my multitracking and when I do a couple of takes I end up recording a crazy static sound, along with my vocals or what ever else Im recording. I have to close the session and reopen it before I can record clean again. any help would be aprecieated. thanx
