    Beat CD Syndrome!

    If you've got 30 beats and you want to put them all on a beta tape(CD) that means you got 30 hot beats. That means you got 3 beat CDs, you should be happy about that!

    Snares

    SM57 for close up, but I'd be interested in hearing a condensor in the room especially if it's a nice sounding room. You don't get to hear a snare & condensor just because you're always close micing a full kit or hearing it alongside other parts of the kit.

    (Cubase Users) RAM

    Instead of exporting mixdowns of your effected tracks you can "lock" the effects on a track instead. It basically just does the mixdown for you but it means it keeps all your effect settings and you can unlock, make a change then lock again. Search help for "lock effects" or something. Also...

    help

    I've been sampling a bit of japanese stuff recently. If you want to cut up some lines just search for "japanese" or "koto" in the music section of your favourite P2P (Kaz@a, $oulseek, L!mewire etc)

    Vinyl VS. MP3

    Are you on crack? CDs don't have a bitrate, they are 16-Bit, 44.1kHz, pure, uncompressed Pulse Code Modulation formatted data. Music in this format is about 10 megs a minute. If your mp3 bitrate takes less up than 10 megs a minute - IT HAS BEEN COMPRESSED. Compression isn't magic, it...

    I have a seriouse problem, need help.

    The thing is, it's best to be a part of something big than 100% of jack shit! With that said, get the best advice you can and try to minimise how much you get ripped off.

    Help me Pick a New Soundcard

    There's nothing wrong with the latency of external soundcards IF they're Firewire. On my M-Audio Firewire 410 I've got 2 Analogue Ins and 8 analogue outs plus 2 digital of each. In cubase I'm getting latency of about 5ms output and 6ms input. Which is wonderful. Firewire is the way to go if...

    Beat Making Video

    He had some good tips and techniques but yeah his execution was poor. I just can't help but think that if he wasn't so blazed he might actually have some timing! Didn't like the stabs or vocal bits either. It was all very Jedi Mind Tricks.

    Uk Digging

    Rob's Records - it's down a back alley in town. Little tiny scruffy shop but just filled with records! I fancy a trip down there after I finish uni actually! Not sure exactly where it is but you could try an internet search or ask around in notts?

    Uk Digging

    I'm also in Leeds and I pay no more than a fiver, with that said I rarely buy a record -just- to sample. I like most kinds of music and I only sample from what I like. Unless it really is a charity shop record for a quid, then I may well buy just to get that sample. Have you checked out the...

    Ethics

    That's pretty much all I do, I do sample off wax but mainly the way I discover samples is when I'm at my computer. Winamp is on shuffle and a track comes up and I think - I can sample that. I have a pad and pen next to my computer and everytime a song comes on I make a note. When it's time to...
