Re: Zeds Dead Bass Sounds (Shut Up And Sing)

Comb filtering and some distortion, thats all. I'm pretty sure you'll get better results on the pitch bends if you just do it with a sampler as opposed to within a synth. Sometimes working with the audio can make all the difference. You'll likely have to do some frequency splitting too in order to ...

Re: How much music theory do i need to know?


Are you assuming I have never studied music theory, only understand major and minor scales and have never harmonised a melody? I studied music through late primary school, all of highschool, and even out of highschool I completed a technical qualification in music, which means I formally studied ...

Find the notes that sound good? That's what you do when you know the theory, anyway. How have you been working?

Re: gaiia sh01 vs mini brute?h

Cant say anything about the mini brute but the sh-01 is really easy and intuitive to use.

Yeah I've played around with the sh01 a few times, such a fun synthesizer.
I think the mini brute would be easier if you're blind, the sh01 relies on buttons that light up and a few other visual indicators ...

Re: Trying to find an audio interface

M-Audio Fast Track Pro.
Within your price range, has all the features you want. I've used it for a while and loved mine, it only recently broke but thats cause I put it in a bad place and put some stress on the USB jack, causing one it to break. So now I can't turn it on, but I've had it for years.

Re: KRK RP8 G2

I have the 8s and they're awesome. You only get a response down to about 45 Hz though I think, so you get bass but not the whole shebang.
Definitely going to get a sub to go with mine when I have the money and a place where my neighbours won't hear me lol.

Re: Looking for a person who can mix and master

Why not just post it in the WIP thread and see if anyone has suggestions for you?
That is, assuming you've read the moneyshot thread.

I don't think its reasonable to expect your mix downs to be perfect right away, it takes time like everything else.

Re: Just freed up a F*CKLOAD of memory deleting Apple Loops

I reinstalled Logic on my new computer and made damn sure I didn't put the fucking loops on there along with it.
If only they gave you 40 gigs of decent presets instead of all the useless loops.

Re: Logic9 wavs with tempo info - sample rate conversion, pi

Sounds like you have the wav files attached to a tempo and a different tempo in your project. See if you can either change the import settings so it doesn't adjust the length of the sample for the tempo you're using when you import it. I can't see how it would be a sample rate thing, tempo/time ...

Re: anyone here Copyright law savvy? $150,000 fine threat

Just re-create the melody. No one can prove you copied it. Just say you played your piano and got this melody in your head.
If they sue you, ask them to prove they own that melody/ keys. If they play that track and say they have used it before you, then just say maybe they have copied it from ...

Pick up an iMac, you won't regret it.

Significantly more powerful for the money you pay, and the 25" screen is absolutely key when using Logic.

Re: Producing Completely in Maschine

I love maschine, it feels so much more intuitive than using a DAW. Way more "jammy" so to speak haha.

Since I got it I haven't done my drums any other way.
I've produced a few fairly simple songs in it... If its anything complex though I like to have logic open.
I really like arranging in it though ...
