    Mixing without Visual Meters/Indicators

    Ya, like meters are great! But I just want that listen to my music, not see my music kind of feel you know? Then after I get the track where I want, then check out the meters to see for accuracy + comparison etc.

    Mastering your own music.. is it possible?

    Solid points - I definitely agree with the fresh set of ears. It's so easy to listen to the same track for a couple hours and then kind of forget where you're at lol. I still feel it's possible to achieve your own mastering if you know what you're doing + using reference tracks to get a...

    Mixing without Visual Meters/Indicators

    Here's an interesting one for you.. It's something I've felt recently regarding mixing. What do you guys feel? By no means am I telling you to not use meters! (Meters help us determine what's going on in our music!) But I feel that when seeing these types of meters like frequency...

    Mastering your own music.. is it possible?

    Here's a thought that came to me the other day. I was asked by a reader on my blog to help them push some extra loudness out of their track. They were struggling with their peaks, getting in the way of extra loudness. I told them to send me the un-mastered version, and I gave it my attempt at...

    Fl Studio 11 vs Fl Studio 12

    I'd say people wait to avoid bugs. I jumped on FL 12 right away though, that mixer makes the workflow a lot better. Now if I ever open up FL 11, it looks like something from the 90's in compared to FL12 lol

    The Akai MPC Touch Comes with a Touchscreen

    Watching the videos, I was thinking in the $300 -/+ range.. $800! Ya right! lol Why not spend a bit more and get a Maschine Studio ? I honestly find touch screens pretty finicky.. For example like when using a touch screen to edit text on a phone; can be a time consuming process, and you still...

    How to Connect a MIDI Keyboard to your Computer!

    Haha, MIDI is so confusing! - I remember my first attempts at programming my MIDI Keyboard to make the transport buttons (play, stop, record) work in FL Studio, before they made a template for my brand, which sets it all up for you! What a learning curve! Appreciate the response Fade!

    Thanks Fade! - I got an awesome deal on a camcorder, so it's been making creating videos a lot more fun, where I talk in the beginning! I was using a DSLR camera previously.. but didn't have auto focus lol, so never knew 100% if the video was in focus - no longer an issue with the camcorder...

    How to Sample a Beat, What To Look out For, and Chopping Up a Sample in Slicex
