    64 bit engine bounce in Sonar?!

    I think it's just meant to improve the sound. (Well, obviously). I re-mixed a track, but I'm working in 24bit now, and exported with the 64bit engine and un-checked the 'fast bounce'. Not sure if the track had more depth because of my mixing, or because of the settings. I could always test...

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    I'm saying though, if you sample a sampled record, that someone else sampled... how many processes has that kick drum/whatever gone through. Lets say the original engineer boosted, second boosted, someone sampled boosted, you boosted. Etc Or compressing³³³ I'm sure you get my point, and I get...

    I'll stop there though, is getting slightly off-topic!

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    That's the thing though, if the imperfection has already been added, further imperfection will likely just ruin it (not in a good way). The more something's been processed, the more you run out of options for what to do with it.

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    You got to think though... Near enough everything that has been mastered has been subject to a string of distortion... Through the analogue gear, throught the compression, saturation, limiting, eqing etc etc... It has laready been subject to a lot of squashing and distorting, by the time you get...

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    Yeah that's a good way to go about it. I still think it's very worth considering where/what you want a sound to do before you even think about adding/choosing/playing/recording it. Cause as I'm sure you know, even with micing you can strongly effect the sound of something. I'd still say...

    64 bit engine bounce in Sonar?!

    Quick question... If when bouncing tracks to audio in Sonar, if I export them as 24bit files, but tick the option for "64 bit engine" in the bounce options, what is this actually achieving? Need to know if I'm wasting time by clicking this...???

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    spot on regards to sampled sounds being already mastered. You're basically eq'ing something that has been 'eq'd to perfection(almost) - at least for its application. I'd half disagree with the firs tthing however... although, I too, love having a neutral sound/sample, sometimes it is best...

    Loud... Curious what software and shit you using to create your beats? trap - liking this, sounds nicely done. nothing much else to say about it. club - something not quite fresh enough about that opening percussive pattern, cool initial hook, something about some of it, that sometimes sounds...

    Always find your drums have quite a bouncy groove to them! I like the high pianoey parts that sprinkle the beat. I'll try get to ya at some point, trying to mix an older beat, but the drum software deciding to be a bitch again.

    Hey! What's wrong with the other ones? and my drums! cheeky bastard. I'm already in process of using this track with a rapper on his mixtape, but I might be able to swing you it, as long as you come correct on the songsgare agreement or credit me right (depending what you end up doing with the...

    2GooD Killa Beez Wutang sword swinging beat That's the feedback I'm giving you for that one. Oo, there was some nice build up too, that was sexy, though I think one high note was a bit too loud. Dope though.

    Feedback on proper speakers... Ha Ripe... Drums still dope, nice groove... I feel some frequency in one of the samples too much sound in one frequency (if i had an eq at hand i'd tell you which) but it needs to be pulled down a bit, it's jarring to the ear. I notice it's that same frequency...

    Who's working on what?

    Got a few solo projects / EPs I'm looking to create, some cencept driven, some just heat. Plan on doing an 'Iron Keys presents...' EP for a few different people, different styles different sounds. Too much planned. First things first though, planning on getting a few solid tracks finished...
