do you have the grid quantize set to "bar" when you cut and paste? if you have it set to 1/32 or 1/64 that might make it go off a little

pisstake, perhaps. i just get aggravated by conversation about this-or-that monitor and that-and-this soundproofing methods especially in home studios and very especially as regards neighbors in apartment buildings.
headphones people! ferfuckssake.

Headphones or if you are like me and don't like ...

i have some Auralex isolation pads under my monitors, they keep the bass vibration/resonance from going through my desk and walls pretty well at reasonable volume...but not completely by any means. you might also just get some acoustic foam to put up on the walls but that will not completely sound ...

this drunk ghetto prick kept telling me to play a song that I didn't have.

haha...get used to it if you dj a lot. it's worse when someone asks you to play purple rain by prince at a dnb monthly.

yeah after that and a couple similar incidents I decided not to play a non-dnb/electronic party ever ...

once, i was playing a paid gig, spinning hip hop and house (not my choice but i was doing it strictly for the $)...this drunk ghetto prick kept telling me to play a song that I didn't have. I kept telling this douche that i would play it if i had it but that i literally did not have the song to play ...

you could always "out-dick" the people who bother you or touch the equipment, stop the music momentarily and in a not-so-nice way draw everyone's attention to them so they are so embarrassed they have to leave

I've got one, no complaints here. The sound quality is good for the price. Plus, you can use it to control Traktor if you're so inclined

mine was $100...not tooo bad

AIght guys Everytime i resample a bassline it seems like it loses its "Push". I can't exactly elaborate on what that exactly means, but its like when you resample something does it retain all of its frequency values?

Like for instance if i have a kick hitting hi passed at 70 with some compression ...

I always operate on the assumption that its best to use insert reverb as more of a special effect on one or two particular sounds that don't really make up the "meat" of the tune. For consistency and creating a sense of depth in the mix, sends are usually better because you can make the actual ...

panning is definitely important for drums, i mostly pan them like a kit, but i run 3-4 hats at a time so spreading them left and right works pretty well. i may also auto pan or automate them to make them bounce accross the stereo field, whatever works to make the mix more interesting. its all about ...

yeah i would say that makes sense...chase and status are weak sauce!

in a year or two they will be making club or house music, prolly will be playing B2B with Tiesto in no time.

I'm saving up for cubase 5. Working on sx3 at the moment. I have been using cubase for 8 years now and i just recently found out about CTRL+D
Duplicate... man i was like :o Why didn't i notice this before!!! :lol:

I also I like the whole workflow to ones you figure it out. I have to admit i'm in ...

you can upgrade to C5...its pretty cheap now, I think like $200 or something.

If you get bored of them gangraping rock music for MTV, skip to 2:46... there are no words to describe how awful it becomes.

yeah that one definitely takes the prize...WOW

wow, just scrolled up and read some of these other posts....glad I didn't go through that string first LOL

haven't read others' responses but off the top...there are some labels out there that sign more "eclectic" talent. Some examples are Ninja Tune, Planet Mu, Skull Disco maybe? There's definitely a market for more experimental stuff you just have to do a little more research. Maybe check out the ...

here's a simple hat pattern soloed on a tune i'm working on atm if that helps at all

How would one suggest going about using breaks in reason, i think this may be the problem, weather i'm chopping them up, or usuing pre chopped breaks in the dr.rex ...

^ that's the thing. unquantized doesn't immediately equal groove. more like "it sounds like a shit drummer played this"

true talk...sometimes it works if you quantize your parts, then go in and edit individual notes or smaller groups of notes by hand...with midi latency and possibly lack of rythm ...

to get more volume out of it, put a limiter on the master...

the mixdown engine in Reason is definitely sketchy...one of its biggest drawbacks IMO...better to rewire into Cubase or another DAW and disable the Reason mixer altogether...then do your export (real-time) from the DAW...it will sound ...
