So we all know what sounds good. We beef up our cars with whatever can blast out extremely good quality music. Headphone’s quality have increased over the years to something so extrodinary to someone 60 years old that we young’ns couldnt even imagine. Our stereos now play digital recordings that have been mastered by years [...]

Wow. What can I say about this other than amazing. If you can get past its design to meet the common denominator and its kindergarten feel, you will definitely pick up a thing or two on how to mix out your tracks. It goes over all the dynamics in what makes a good mix and [...]

Well after a week of time wasting with games on myspace, Im back in production mode. Took a listen to the last track that I was making and just wasnt overly happy with it. Everything was working together, but it just wasnt the sound that I wanted. IT was too techy, too Tech Itch ‘ish [...]

So I found this nifty little plug-in that is solving all my gritty bass needs. The demo comes with Fruity loops apparently but still Image-line line did a good job on this little thing. Basically its a waveshaper (distortion) plug-in that is far ahead of the one that came with Live. Which is probably why [...]

So what started out as having some fun with a sample continues to grow into something more serious for me. Im adding more to the beat, still working on the bass (Its bass but not quite where I want it). Rearranging the structure because well you cant believe everything you see on the net. Actually [...]

So since I had this chopped up amen laying around I decided to play with it. Added some bass, stole some samples from redman’s “let’s get dirty” and some other highlights.
Ill post it up so it can be downloaded when Im done with it. (After my perfectionist ass screws around with it over and over [...]

So I got this new phone and its all shiny and geeky fun and shit, and I put “brown paper Bag” by Roni Size on it as a ringtone. Well now that was just not good enough for all them. Though Im still shy as hell about my music and dont let anyone listen just [...]

No wonder people use this break excessively, you can do just about anything with it and it sound right.
Chop it up rearrange it with ease.
I always figured that would be a hard thing to accomplish.
It always sounded so intricate and detailed that I figured it would be some sort of challenge to use.
Ohh well, now [...]

So yeah everything worked as planned. Live is so sweet in this aspect. Set your warp markers so you get a good chop, bounce it, then send to midi on the half. Now I have a drum beat that I can rearrange however I want on the half.
Need to find some decent samples though.
If someone [...]

O.K. so you warp it, bounce it to a new track. But I didnt quite get that I can chop to midi at whatever length of the bar I want.
Thats amazing, you can then rearrange the beat however you want.
So back to audacity to get a good 8 bars out of this and then warp [...]
