    Creating awesome percussion

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Posted

    Great tips Colin, going to try out the Antares Tube. The Oxford Eq does go up to 400Hz so maybe you meant to say 400?

     

    Anyway the only thing that i have problems with is getting a good 'running' closed hi hat sound. I've tried out closed hi hats on every 16th & playing around with the velocity to make it seem more natural but it's still not there. So any tips there would be cool!

     

    Also what percussions do you guys recommend to make a track sound faster. I've often noticed some of my tracks sounded a little slow on big systems & i think this probably has to do with the percussion.

    Hey guys,

     

    I'm selling my Klein + Hummel 0300 monitors due to some financial problems. I love these monitors & am very sad to see them go.

     

    They've been used around 4 months & are in perfect working order. A new pair goes for $4'400 i will let these go for $3'600 that's $800 off for a couple of months of use.

    looking quite funky indeed!

    Whats the eventide like? Dont know much about it except that posford has one ;) and that its quite expensive.

    The eventide is really amazing, the reverbs are to die for & it can also do some insane fx. To really get the best out of it though you need to be using it in a surround 5.1 setup. So far i'm only using it in stereo & have barely scratched the surface with it, but it is indeed a beast!

    Congrats on the monitor, i'm planning on getting another one once i can afford it!

    RME Fireface 400 for sale!

    Hey,

     

    Well i'm selling it as i'm upgrading to a Lavry DA10 which has better converters, i will combine it with a RME HDSP 9632 Pci interface.

     

    The FF400 is great but i wasn't using some of its features such as the preamps. I will buy a high-end A/D converter & preamp later on when i need them.

     

    Anyway it doesn't weigh 12 kilos with the cables it shouldn't be more than 6 kilos.The cheapest way to send it to croatia would be via the local post office. Will cost around $35-$40.

     

    I've sent BM6A monitors to china & a novation remote SL to Italy using the same service & they both got there fine. It's not the fastest though & there won't be a tracking number. I'll have to find out how long it could take.

     

    I could also find out about other services if you would rather have a tracking number, they will cost more though. Will try to get you some pics soon too.

     

    Here's an old one:

    M-Audio FireWire 410

    Don't say i didn't warn you! :blink:

     

    I've got a Fireface 400 & it is excellent but now i'm looking to add a Benchmark DAC-1 to it for D/A conversion as it's better than the FF400 converters.

     

    No matter what gear you have there is always something that's just slightly better which you ultimately want to get! :rolleyes:

    And about the problems i think there's no such perfect card that wouldn't have problems at all.

    Yes there is! RME Fireface 400, but it ain't cheap! As always you get what you pay for but still there are plenty of other manufacturers out there at the same price point that make MUCH better products than M-(suck)audio

    My experience with M-audio says otherwise, i would never recommend any M-audio product. The drivers are horrible & i've read of countless people having troubles with M-audio firewire cards. The pci one's are more reliable, so my suggestion would be to stay away & get something else in the same budget, e.g: Echo Audiofire, Presonus Firebox etc etc.

    I like to keep my setup simple & effective, i'd rather have less stuff cluttering my studio but the absolute best quality possible.

     

    The eventide is really amazing, i don't think anything can come near it in the software world. I just got it so i'm still learning but it has endless possibilities to mangle audio with.

     

    I did a lot of research on what the best nearfield monitors were & the K+H O300 were the one's that were most often recommended. They're pretty expensive ($4000) but they are really amazing and worth every penny. I used to have Dynaudio BM6A before this & these just blow the BM6A away.

    DJ [midi] Controllers

    My girlfriend has a BCD 2000 & it works great with Virtual DJ. It's quite fun to use & the knobs, faders etc are quite sturdy. All the buttons come automapped with Virtual Dj, so using it is quite easy.

     

    If you can afford to push your budget then i would give the Vestax VCI 100 or M-audio Torq Exponent a try too.

    What are you using to sequence with?

    What do you think? I've really been enjoying getting to know it over the past few months. Then again, SX is probably very similar, no? I find there are minor things that bug me about C4, like some things not being entirely precise, but for the most part it's a dream compared to Reason. What are you using for drums? I'm getting a bit tired of depending on the Halion.

    Sorry i just saw your post.

     

    I'm really loving Cubase 4, i couldn't go back to SX 3 now. I especially love being able to drag inserts & the new channel eq's. This saves me from loading an individual eq plugin just for high/low passing stuff.

     

    I mostly make my own drum rhythms using individual audio samples. Sometimes i use background loops from sample cd's or stylus rmx to add to the groove. Haven't really gotten into the Cubase 4 synths yet, as i get plenty of sounds from my Virus TI.

     

    The only thing that is bugging me about C4 is that sometimes notes are being dropped at random. This means you have to go back & re-bounce that part again which is a bit tedious. Other than that i love it.
