    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...

    Ancou... keep it up, reminds me of some of my earlier stuff, especially with the piano bits. SkidFlow - kinda cool, I didn't find much problem with the high-end levels... thought the main sound may have had a tad too much presence, possibly in the 3khz area. Dream Police - cool stuff...

    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...

    Pat... sounds interesting, definitely would sound good a little brighter and more solid, sounds a bit dull, could be a bit more 'firm'... only way I can explain it. Definitely interesting.

    2Good, I feel the somewhat repetitive rhythym. It's got that kind of marching feel, I dunno, can't explain it. But it's tight... got a Wutang style vibe to the beat. And shit, Klashnekoff? I remember his Murder track, tht shit was sick. Dope track, bredrin.

    Zon... Kool G Rap would sound grimey on this beat. The beat sounds agressive... I like the pianos in it, really adds to it. Perhaps the mix could be a little bit better, the piano seems to be fighting a little with the sample?

    Thanks for the feedback, Heez. Strangely enough, I share your thoughts on the bridge... first time I played it all back to me I was like 'whoa what happ... oh, same track'... but a few of the people I played it to, including the guy it was intended for seemed to love that part. So no clue. In...

    Nice beat, man. I like te jazzy crime film vibe. Can imagine some oldschool type rap to this, underground, story rap. That type of ish. I think it needs the rap over it, as a track. But also, I reckon this'd be good in some kinda documentary/story type shit about someone who grew up poor, or in...

    2Good - I like this, the dark grim vibe is tight. I think Prodigy would sound sick on this. Drums are real decent too. Heez - This is really nice. 50 or Banks or something would sound good on this. All sound real nice. Enjoying the vibe of each of 'em. Love Iron Keys

    Yo yo ... I'm sure the showcases used to be a lot more regular than this??? It's fair enough them being not as close together as they used to be... but perhaps giving them an extra day longer to be open or something may be a good idea? Just gentle suggestion

    Mad love for the feedback. Piano ain't sampled btw... all played by the fingers of yours truly. As for your track, Heez... I'll give it a check when I can!

    Compressing a kick... punch or weight

    Nice one, Step Sop... sounds pretty complicated.

    Compressing a kick... punch or weight

    I understand also though, one of the reasons for keeping shit bubbling at a high level, other than the loudness wars... is because of bit rates...? But back on the subject of peaks... if you have a kick/snare or whatever peaking at 3db, but sounds ultimately quiet as hell... are you suggesting...

    Compressing a kick... punch or weight

    Yeah I think you can... I think I remember seeing a default 'rewire' set up, or something. I used to be cheeky and re-wire the demo version of reason to cubase and quickly export the drums! Was pretty funny. Would be useful to have reason... it's kinda just a handful of tasty...

    Compressing a kick... punch or weight

    Ah see, I've been favouring my kicks over the bass lately. I focus on giving the bass a little more harmonic value. Either way I take care to make sure the kick and bass ain't clashing. I'm using Sonar 8 at the moment... never really felt comfortale using Reason. Think I found cubase most...
