    Tracking Out Beats

    I'm trying to track out a beat from FL Studio into Audition as WAV files. The way I'm doing it is by soloing each track (i.e Kick Drum, Snare Drum, Hi Hat etc) and exporting each track as a WAV file. The problem I'm having is that the WAV file for each track ends up being around 97mb, so for a...

    USB Mic (Monitoring Vocals)

    At the moment I’m using a Samson USB mic and adobe audition to record vocals. The problem is that when recording, I can see the waveform generating on the track but my MC can’t hear what he’s recording through the headphones and he reckons it’s really off-putting not being able to hear...

    File Size Reduction

    Whenever I export my finished beats from FL Studio 5 in WAV files they are somewhere in the region of 80 – 100mb. This is obviously not ideal as I need to upload the files so that my MC can write to them. Does anyone else have this problem? What are the average file sizes of everyone’s beats...

    Tempo (Timestretch) problem

    This is probably something really basic that I’m overlooking here but anyway; I’m importing samples in WAV format into FL Studio 5 for use in the piano roll. Usually I import the loop, add it to piano roll and then adjust the tempo until I get a perfect loop. However with some samples, when...

    Shakey Dog - Ghostface/Lewis Parker

    Back in the mid ‘90’s I used to use a Commodore Amiga running Octamed 8 for sampling before I got a PC. When I sampled with the Amiga the chops used to sound really lo-fi and distorted and was a quality that I really liked about the Amiga. If you listen to Shakey Dog on the Fishscale album it...

    Akai MPD-16 vs Trigger Finger (Comparison/Review)

    I’ve been thinking about getting either an MPD-16 or and Trigger Finger for triggering samples, drum programming etc and was at a loss as to which one of the two I should go for. I found this very handy comparison over at www.studio-central.com written by a guy called Megatron and I thought I’d...

    FL Studio Newbie (Advice Needed)

    I’ve been messing around with the Fruity Loops demo for the last couple of days and I’m digging it. Gonna get myself a copy but I’m not sure what edition I should be getting. I can’t seem to find any breakdown of the differences between the difference versions ie (XXL, producers edition, Fruity...

    Sampling - Where to draw the line.

    I will sample any and every fuckin thing as long as it sounds dope. However, I will not sample something really well known (like a chart hit from the last 5 years) and I will not sample another hip hop producer (although I may use a vocal line from a hip hop track to cut up.) Where do you...

    The legality of selling beats

    This is a question to the more experienced of you out there that have sold beats to recording artists. What in terms of legality is your responsibility when selling beats? Are you obliged as the producer to have gained the relevant sample clearance or is that the responsibility of the...

    Audacity

    In conjunction with Soundforge, I sometimes use a freeware sound editor called Audacity for editing samples as Audacity has a pretty handy feature called "Noise Removal". Basically you highlight a section of the sample that contains hiss/static/background noise etc and click "get noise" - you...

    New Guy

    Whassup! Been lurkin here for a few days and decided to start posting. I’ve been building beats since I was about 16 when I first got hold of an old Amiga with Octamed 8 back in the early/mid nineties. I was chief beat maker/producer for a hip hp act around at that time and spent my time...
