    Basically, I can't do nothign with the beat. And have not much option of making a good one. So, not much choice. Is there.

    Oh wow, really? Most of that was played/no quantize. Sure I've heard DPGC on a similar beat. Love for the response.

    Professional Mix Comparisons / Pro Advice???

    On the last point of that... Where's the best place to post a track to get feedback / ideas etc on mixing and getting the sound right (excluding the 'showcase'), don't wanna be posting shit in all some wrong places. Is the lab suitable for such shit? The thing with the freq analyser etc, if I...

    http://soundcloud.com/ironkeys/do-it-big-mixdown-iron-keys - OldSchool Westcoast style. Not much more to say on this one. If anyone fancies riding this beat, let me know. http://soundcloud.com/ironkeys/bouncybuzzy-ironkeys - Thinking to get a male singer on this, maybe have a rapper take one...

    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 agree, lot of good info. Personally I find the hats don't sound so tasty when swung on time with my kick. Dunno, perhaps I need to work on my hat patterns. On a note of 'live instruments', if your playing if off a noticable amount in some bits, use quantize but have the strength set to say...

    Swing/Groove

    In Sonar, 50% Swing is equal to straight 16ths. to lessen the swing pulls the timing back, to increase pushes the timing forward. But as I said, in cubase I'm sure 0% was = 0 Swing. But i've also seen swing mentioned elsewhere that 50 = none, then either side = various sides of swing.

    Swing/Groove

    Yeah, I recently started to try and ghost my kicks, don't think I've got it down too well yet. The ba boom-boom just gave me some inspiration though. Again, much love for the insight.

    Swing/Groove

    With swing, doesn't 50% = no swing??? I'm sure I remember in cubase, 0% = no swing. But in sonar (and on some websites I've seen) 50% is no swing, and 0/100% swing are just swingin' the beat earlier or later??? Thanks for the insight, guys.

    Swing/Groove

    Ahhh thanks for that, man. At the moment trying to go for something with a little bit of Timbaland influence, so trying to get that right bounce on the kicks, and trying to figure out how to get the percussion going right.

    Swing/Groove

    Thanks, bruh. Is it more common than not for producers to work with a high swing value? I've used it before successfully, but most times it just stands out too much, and doesn't sound natural. Especially when I try programming hats/percussion on it. If anyone got any tips to working...

    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...

    compression / gain

    That's what I do. Just nothing seems to get my drums to hammer/sound like I want. Hmmm.
