    Sonar/Cubase audiosnap...?!

    Easy, my ILLBRETHREN. I've been considering a move back (from Sonar) to Cubase, when I get all my equipment, money and shizz all sorted. I just recently tonight, discovered/learnt/applied Sonar's AudioSnap feature, and it worked a fucking treat on some acoustic guitar I recorded in...

    Singers that don't know basic music theory?!

    ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH How do you guys deal with these sort of folk? Great voice, bad at communicating what they want. My music theory is basic, but all I'm looking to hear is the track format in terms of bars. #long

    Back-up software...?!

    What it ain't, my IllBrethren...!? I'm looking for software, preferably cheap/free(if such is available), that will do a good job in backing up my files. What I want it to do; - Option to chose how often it 'syncs' files. (and to not delete files deleted from comp) - Option to backup...

    Tuning/Tuners

    Are there any good accurate tuners that are either free or come included in DAWs? I'm using Sonar 8 at the moment, and I the tuner I've got GTune (or something) isn't good at picking up quick signals such as drums. Trying to think of what DAW I should switch to next, tough choice. Any...

    Exporting in Sonar 8

    I've been using Sonar 8 for a while... and exporting still seems to be a fucking hassle... Does anyone know how to make it select/export the material between the start and end markers? There seems to be no simple way of doing this. It's becomming quite a hassle.

    Music Theory help...

    Trying to teach myself piano/guitar (more focussed on piano right now), and I'm having a lot of confusion around how to figure out what chords go in what key. So for example, in the key of A minor(etc), how do I work out what chords go in it??? Must all the chords only use notes that...

    Does anyone know what the usage rights for their sample packs are??? (Including their demo kits) Does anyone know the usage rights for other software instruments/DAWS etc. Wanna make sure I'm fully in my right to release material using the sounds contained in software I use. Much love

    Help analysing time sig / key of track...

    Easy, ill brethren. Trying to remix this track, but for the life of me can't figure out the fuck is going on with any of the song's structure. All I can work out is its tempo is 84bpm... Just wondered how y'all cats break down the structure / time signature / key / notes of this...

    Weird instrument drum thing...?¿?

    Easy, family. Was talking to some reggae musician at some event, and he told me he plays this instrument called a "kahan"(I think this spelling is dramatically wrong), and I was interested in finding one, or whatnot online, but google searching that word hasn't really proved well for me...

    Sonar / Grizzly VST

    Just wondered if anyone here uses 'Grizzly' vst to load their drum samples into... I never usually have a problem with it, have had the odd occasion, but my last few beats I'm getting this problem... After producing for 5(ish) minutes, either sonar (or grizzly <- think is this) is...

    Distortion(drive) / EQ

    In a very typical circumstance, is it best to process your signal i.e compression/eq THEN overdrive it... or is it better to add such processing after it??? I know it depends on what you're after, and perhaps if you need to trim / bring out elements of the distortion... but for processing of...

    Good Kick hits ... ???

    Where the fuck do motherfuckers get 'em from? I'm tired of downloading / being sent / being given tonnes of 'these are good, use these' kick samples, that blatantly have the sound of a hihat in them too. Samples like that are of very little fuckin' use to me. Where can I find, single...

    The processes of a track/record???

    Was talking to some guy today, and he mentioned the following... pre-production production mixing post-production mastering I only really thought it went production -> mixing -> mastering. If anyone can clear up the different stages a track goes through, and what you can...

    Professional Mix Comparisons / Pro Advice???

    Just wondered if anyone knows of any professional mixed(but not mastered) tracks that are floating about, to use as comparison??? (surely trying to compare your mix to a professional master isn't totally helpful??) Also, are there any professionals (decent) that have tutorial videos/dvd's...

    Swing/Groove

    I've recently started trying to use Groove/Swing function again, but i find it to sound a little un-natural. Also, what parts of your track should stick to the groove? For example, if I had a 70% swing on my kick drum, what else has to follow this? I imagine the bass does? But isn't...

    Sonar X1 Users...

    What it do, guys. I been using sonar 8 for a while now as cubase just kept crashing on me, it's kinda fiddly and not quite straight forward when it comes to some things, and midi-editing isn't so easy (i find). I just wondered what Sonar X1 users make of it, the pros and cons of it and...

    compression / gain

    Quick question... does the gain control on a compressor affect the whole signal or just the compressed signal? (the signal after the attack setting) If the former... how does this benefit 'fattening' up a kick drum...? surely it'd only be making the tail a lot quieter in comparison to the...
