    Names...

    'cause it's a bit odd, and wouldn't really have the same effect I want. I dunno, 2Fly came from Ballin', many people said I was 'too fly' or 'too flashy' etc. But I don't really like it as a producer name, 1) sounds a bit too old school / breakdancer-esque. 2) People seem to say it...

    Names...

    Just curious of how you guys came up with/got your names and the meaning/reasoning behind them. As right now, I'm bugging out over not having a 'name' to produce with. It's putting huge spanner in the works, as I'm not giving out tracks/realising any etc etc until I have a name I'm...

    Finding your own 'style'

    Yeah, man. I find one big problem, is pitch bending string sounds. It's like 'instant storch'. The other thing is, I was playing some guys my tracks, and one producer/rapper was like 'I can instantly tell who your influences are... Dr Dre / Scott Storch.' And thats straight up, it is. Was a...

    Finding your own 'style'

    How would you guys suggest going about finding your own 'style'. I find my style follows what sounds and feels 'right' to me, of course this is going to be a big problem, if this influence comes from a small number of producers and their style is very obviously theirs... you end up...

    Wonky midi sync

    Thanks for the responses guys, I meant in SONAR 8 ...not logic. /shame. It's only the LP64 Multiband compressor that does it... but there are a few of my favoured plug-ins that have no interface when they're loaded up, which is also an issue. I'm using an M-Audio audiophile 2496, and Carillon...

    Wonky midi sync

    Found it, it's the LP64 Multi band compressor in Logic 8+ Anyone know why this is causing latency with my midi controller? It's causing latency all over, not just on the channel it's used on. Love --- 2Fly

    Wonky midi sync

    I'm having a really odd issue with my midi sync... It seems to be fine in most other projects I have open, but in my last project, no matter what settings I change, the midi is like half a second slow at responding. I have no clue what's doing it. I've tried to see if it's just the...

    wanting to kick my drums

    I've tried this... but it doesn't seem to work. I've used various tutorials... but it just doesnt seem to make sense. For example, if you want the compressed signal to have really loud tails to the drums, and not the snap (because you get that from the dry signal) then why do you put the...

    wanting to kick my drums

    Thanks for the suggestions, family. Yeah I been needing to get some better quality drum samples. Got a large selection, but a lot of it is random ass sounding drums that pretty much suck anyway. What I found with eq+compression is I end up squashing the life out of the kick. So my last track I...

    wanting to kick my drums

    Right, no matter what I do to my kick drums, layering, eq, compression, whatever, they never hammer. I went through a phase ages ago where they would thump. But I cant for the life of me, no matter what I try/read, get the drum to thump. So yeah, kinda ironic im still asking for yet more advice...

    Cubase 5 essential...

    Cool cool. Nice one, man. You know they do student discount price, If you copped the student copy at a shop, using someone else, would the software license end up having to be in their name? does anyone know? If theres a way around this, that might be the route I'll take... Is their education...

    Cubase 5 essential...

    how badly watered down is this version of cubase? and does anyone know if there is an upgrade from essential 5, to the full cubase 5? I havnt been able to find one myself. But i think this is my best way to going legit with my shit.

    Call me Old I dont care, but WTF is backpack music?

    When I first heard the term backpackers I thought it was down to the fact that underground cats rolled about with a backpack full of their mixtapes selling them around. But I always associated it more with 'intelligent'' rap. And as that shit dont often sell as much / as easy, dudes are most...

    i wernt saying its not valid if he use a photo, im saying i dont see point in trying to recreate wat u already have. i use photos for reference but i dont try make it look like the original, as tht would be (in my op) pointless. still mad props to dude, i dont have patience for tht.
