    what midi controller do you use?

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    I I would buy kontroller with keyboard it would probably be m-audio axiom 49.. Or microkorg.. Devious that 50 bucks is great deal, thats e-bay right?...

    I use CME Bitstream 3X and have no complains, knobs and faders as much as u want plus lfo and arp.. U even got a ribbon and a joystick and u can record automation of knobs, what more could you want?

    I use synths keyboard, better than axioms for sure.. Also I can add extra 3 endless knobs on synth but thats perversion..

    But if I would have rack synth than it would be another story, I would have to choose between ^ models

    How do you deal with many tracks?

    I sometimes work for television producers and we have to record everything in double mono while capturing live from a studio.

    I'm not sure why we only use double mono though... but my guess is that it's because it are all microphones and have to sound as close & clear as possible. Stereo has a more natural sound but it can sound distant & muddy, mono is raw and unnatural but you'll always understand what they are saying, so we record it mono and double it before broadcasting, the best way to get a clear voice. hey, i think i just figured out one of the greatest mysteries in my life after reading your post.... now the other 50 mysteries....but thanks anyway

    My guess is that they use double mono or technically speaking pseudo stereo so both stereo tvs and mono can hear the signal appropriately.. Cause there are still many televisions with only one speaker.. And of course recording with two mics is great, more mics-even better

     

     

     

    Something you can try is to record the exact thing twice in mono channels. For example a singer singing the same thing, or you playing the exact same riff on the guitar. It will not be a 1:1 copy obviously, which can cause preety cool effects when panning each track to the extreme right and left. Just remember to use a stereo imager to make it 40% tp 60% of the original width because it can get preety annoying after 3 seconds. :P

    Yeah thats a great tip for expanding the sound, you can do it with bass too :rolleyes:

    Bad quality of sound

    Hello,

     

    I have a home studio with a computer, a few synths, a mixer, etc... When I play my tunes using Cubase and the MIDI interfaces, the sound is very good, but if I record the tune and mix it with musics from famous artists taken from audio CDs, their music has a good quality of sound and when arrives MY tune, the sound quality of not very good, it sounds like I recorded the using using a microphone, the sound lacks "power", it sounds weak. Do you know what is missing?

    Thanks,

    Try to read some mixing tutorials and lot about compressors.. Search on isratrance, theres a lot of Mother of all.. topics..

    Bass is going too long in a start solo.. And that melody with ugly synth is still there.. Throw it out or change the sound.. Sample is gone and its lot better, like I said.. That second part is good but its going on too long, cut it and do break and then change mood in track or u can introduce some pads and make first big break.. But that first cheap synth lead which is going on through whole track must be edited, changed with something else or completely dropped out.. Its making noize on my system.. Eq could help but I recommend changing the sound.. Try to add more space into track.. Use reverbs, delays.. Move one sound from the centre position and so on..

    Melodies.. Learn some music theory, learn one scale (for instance phrygian) and then improvise.. U can even get some tutor program if u wanna do it easier way.. U will get some simple lines in a minute, just listen carefully which notes fit with others..

    Also u could add some sub bass..

    Have you listened to this release? 2005, so its not too old, but it sure is GOOD acid :)http://www.discogs.com/release/546774

     

    Hehe yeah ASYS is Kai Tracid indeet (And another person, can not remember now), I have a lot of that. All not the best, but there are some PEARLS under those releases.

    That Barada, Bryn Zentz.. Hes cool.. this acid I got isnt something but its not bad either.. And that Kai Tracid.. Tracid Traxx.. U know that song, I think its the Cosmic Gate - Trance and acid, when its goes trance acid, trance acid and than loop shortens every time and in the and u get tracid, tracid, tracid.. Commercial, but so cool effect

    Just tell me which 12" it is, and I will prolly have or know it :P (I Have a LOT) :D but yeah, cool, of course I wanna hear it :D

     

    buzzmate, I was thinking something more round indeed. More in the style of the OLD planet Rhythm Logo, if you know what I mean? (Gonna find it and paste it, hang on....)

    its a classic design, ala Designers Republic... and it would suite me VERY fine with a design like that :D

    I dont like those round cross boxes.. Otherwise it could be cool..

     

    Anyways I sucked at trade.. I didnt get the record.. Bastard didnt wont to trade it.. It ASYS - Acid headcracker track, u have it?

    I exchanged Shapeshifters for Chris Liebing :lol: but I did get some old acid.. Actually now when I checked it better its mauro picotto, some Megamind taub track.. Oh man..

    What a depression.. I listen a track in full, maybe it is any good and post a loop if it is..

    Anyways, I listened that acid headcraker and only thing I liked the most in that track is vocal.. It had massive impact on my nick actually.. Acid headcracker was already choosen so this stupid acidkills stucks with me..

    Yes and no :) I want to bring a general feeling back of old-school techno, but to keep it fresh with new ideas. Influences of old electro is also very welcome. Melodic stuff is also welcome, but I just dont want it to be PSY. There are enough Psy/Progressive labels out there :)

    Well u know I got Alesis Micron and u know its a must for electro so were on a roll.. But

    I dont want it to be "too much" psy, more on a melodie side.. Im working on my playing skills so now I more appreciate melodic music.. But

    again not "too much" cause we said we use old school acid techno for template..

     

    BTW I think Ill exchange one of my vinyls today for some old school acid techno track Im wishing for long time now.. U wanna here the loop if exchange goes well?

    thanks, the logo fit the music back then, not really the music of today though :) Thats why I am trying to re-make it to look more TECHNO hehe.

     

    here is a loop of an acid track that I have been working on, which will be on the first release. Its recorded live with mute on off, and some tweaking blah, no arrangement whatsoever. :D

    Cool, I like it.. So u wanna bring that old minimalistc acid back into game.. Im with you.. But It will take some time till I get my cubase back up again..

    I wouldn't recommend those AKGs for DJ headphones. Get something more heavy duty, closed instead of open, and cheaper.

    Man first u said I should take those K701 when I said I am about to buy K271 S and now u are talking opposite..

    Trohr should check out K271 but I am in need of headphones for production, not djing so wouldn't K701 be better for that like u said once?

    hi brother.. i agree 100% about the sample..

     

    i have a space tribe like habit of using samples.. also i worked on those elements and i added more.

     

    no lie that only took me 30 mins or so. ill add an updated version with no sample.. the fixes and the new melodies.

     

    thanks for your kind words and i cant find the video?

    OK track is better now with new improvements but u should trow out that lead with four notes and that other with two witch follows it if u don't know how to work on it or just change the sound.. Overall. track now has nothing to do with progressive, u made it psy now.. Anyways, I suggest u work more with the leads u have near the end of the song cause they are better and that first lead cant go on and on through the whole song, its making whole track monotone.. Again try to use other sample, add some variations ofsequence here and there, and don't use it all the time.. But its really big improvement since last time.. Actually I liked some parts near the end, keep working on it..

     

    And yeah, video is in your topic u seem to forgot.. Here it is

    At first seconds impressions were that its a bad ticon clone.. Than kick dropped in nicely.. That fighting talk isn't appropriate.. Lead is too simple.. It could be a lot better track if u worked on it a bit more, adjust a bass and do more work on the lead..

    Overall its awesome track since u don't do that kind of music and u don't like it but I recommend u don't do more of this if u don't like it cause thats not the point of music.. U gotta love what u do, that should be top priority, above any producing skills u have, everything else will follow up naturally.. Do music that u like and enjoy!

     

    BTW did u check out cool video in the off topic?

    Cool logo.. I dont have any ideas for now on changeing it and u say it cant be too much changed so.. If I think of something good Ill rearrange it.. But it is basic and clear which is not bad, the logo should be like that..

    Anyways, any progress with loop?

    Genelec has a similar technology.

    Yeah but I dont think they got mic and remote included in the package and they are more expensive and the most important thing, for me and only problem with genelec I have is that they are ugly as they can be.. Although they look awesome if u got a pro studio and buikt in the wall top end genelecs..

    They have better bass response up to 38 Hz compared to 50 Hz JBL has but JBL also has a separate woofer so thats even better..

     

    Anyway JBLs are expensive.. In Adam price range, or KRK..

    I have to save a whole lot more for them..

    Yeah that does look promising. Thanks for the link. In the end I really would rather have a nice pair of studio monitors; that's where I would be 98% of the time.

    Well situation is a bit different with me cause I would also like to produce away from my home on laptop and I need a headphones for that.. But that JBL sure looks promising

     

     

     

     

     

    sorry to be lazy.. but what new technology is there that makes you not having to look at room accoustics? sounds incredible but impossible to me..

    Well I dont know the theory about JBLs.. Here is a quote

    "JBL's exclusive technology that automatically analyzes and corrects the response of each speaker in the room for absolute accuracy at the mix position. The first studio monitors with powerful network intelligence built into each speaker specifically designed to deliver an accurate mix in any room, the LSR4300's are the ultimate monitor for modern production studios."

     

    I think its not some super intelligence behind this nor some hi-tech alien shit in those speakers rather that I guess ithis could be simply achieved with microphone inside a speaker that measures reverb in a room.. That was the first idea I have but probably this system works in some different way.. Ill check it out.. Maybe they are hiding data about that "exclusive technology" and theres no info about it..

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Eddy: Oh yeah I was right.. Looks like I know enough about room acoustics to have ideas like that..

    It works on the mic principle like I thought.. You actually get remote control with them so u can stand in your room in the centre on sound field and set them correctly.. After u do improvements in your room in acoustics you just set them up again and voila.. Check this out

    I think in the end I would like a pair of decent monitors so that I could throw small parties but as far as headphones go what would you suggest? Eh, maybe while were at it.... What would you suggest for a decent pair of monitors (i'll go comb the forums to save possible time in a sec)? My limit is about $500.00 and I would like a pair....

    Same with me..

     

    Im considering AKG K701 for headphones and Fostex, KRK for monitors..

    But this answers confuse me.. What to buy, monitors or heaphones and should I go for reference monitors/headphones or monitoring?
