    anybody else get seasonal depression?

    yo ash as someone else said what you have sounds like Seasonal Affective Disorder and i recognize what you're talking about cause I have it also, it blows! 2 things you can do that help a lot.. 1) get a natural sunlight lamp for your room/desk..they have these at staples and just about...

    It's Just a Matter of Time...

    its just what i've heard. i don't doubt he uses battery but i also don't get why just blaze hanging up the mpc (even if he were to) should have the slightest effect on what any other producer does. also to be honest what just uses truly doesn't matter b/c he will outwork 99% of other producers...

    It's Just a Matter of Time...

    just is still using his mpc and plenty of hardware, despite what might be said in an interview. people need to just do what works for them.

    Dj Software

    serato no question imo...its become the standard in every club here in new york, and i assume a lot of other places also..lots of them are just building serato into their dj booths now so you don't even need to bring anything but your laptop.

    It's Just a Matter of Time...

    im not sure i really get why anyone would be afraid of hardware becoming less popular...nobody can force you to stop using what you want, and if anything it just means you will be able to afford more hardware since it will be cheaper. as always the equipment doesn't really mean shi* in the...

    Do you still buy Production related Magazines?

    i read mix and remix usually, sometimes sound on sound also. remix is pretty much free online though so there's no point in paying to subscribe imo

    Drumagog plug-in Got to C it to believe it

    ldb good post man i had never really thought of using it for anything but drum samples..its kinda limited for hip hop drums imo i mean almost all of us use midi so swapping sounds is easy, but if you;re producing a record with acoustic drums or replacing samples its a nice plugin for sure.

    Drop your Tech Niq! (MIXING)

    honestly my mixing advice...get a book like the art of mixing by david gibson, or find a website that has a good rundown on the basics of all your basic plugins, eq, verb, compressor, etc, and just be done at that. there is more than enough to learn about just making beats, and...

    Buying new midi Keyboard?

    i got the cme uf8 with the weighted keys and its a real nice board, the keys are almost as good as the hammer action on motif/oasys level boards. i would definitely suggest having a non weighted board around though, its very tough to play some melodies with the real piano keys, i personally...

    Copyright Program/Blocker?

    are you trying to stop people from jacking from beat cds? cause that won't work. these dudes have gone way beyond burning now, they'll just remake it by ear or stream the audio from itunes or whatever. if not though, alcohol 120 always worked good for anything i threw at it when i had a pc.

    Classic might like this...

    this guy is crazy good at playing by ear...search his redo of buy you a drank on youtube, what makes his stuff different is he plays all the vocal melodies/harmonies on top of a song's chords, its crazy.

    Sample Drums

    i dont sample much but i'd just try using a high pass filter on your mpc or whatever else you use...i would imagine getting rid of the snare would be harder though, because you can't just cut out the low end for that. maybe use a highpass to get rid of the kicks, and use a notch filter to...

    method of production

    remaking beats is crucial...it really teaches you how to compose something on a professional level. other than that as ash said, just keep grinding, time in the studio will always pay off also real talk...never listen to the people who tell you its easy. my guess is they aren't timbaland or...

    Music Background

    i would say early 90's r&b had a big influence, hip hop too obviously, but i actually used to be really into rock music when i was younger, so that still has a big influence on me...lately though i've been trying to educate myself on a lot of classic music i never knew much about...prince, mj...

    Best place online for equipment

    agreed sweetwater is great, stay away from musician's friend they have a habit of saying stuff is in stock when it isn't at all.

    Question about my compressor and waveforms...

    you could also just try turning the compressor on but leaving it basically as a limiter or a very slight comp...like set the ratio as 1:1, threshold 0db, soft knee, etc. might still warm up the sound a little without much noticeable compression.
