| Hard2Get |

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? |

So whats with cubase then. Everybody seems to recommend this too

Cubase is thebest there is, just hardest to use (but easy when you know how like with most things) :P
|
| Raver_Davie |
Cubase SX is like the Technics 1210 as in it's the industry standard. It isn't like Fruity Loops or Reason, with Cubase you make the sounds on external synth's (be it software or hardware) then use it to peice it all together.
Here's some of the manufacturer's sites where you can download demos of the software from, beware thought they are hefty!
Cubase SX - http://www.steinberg.net/en/
Reason 2.0 - www.propellerheads.se
Also try http://www.Dolphinmusic.co.uk as it sells computers built for music with some under £1000, I don't know how that would work out in your curency but it's worth a look just to see what's there.
Another one I look at is http://www.computermusic.co.uk/main.asp as it also tells you about publishing music and what those funny buttons and knobs do on the software you're looking for!

so let me get this right. Cubase doesnt have built in samples whereas reason and floops does.
So theoretically if you like the way cubase works you could use a combonation of that and eg. Reasen??

cubase is just a sequencer,by that i mean it's a program that activates sounds coming from your outboard gear (sampler, synthesizer etc) or your sound card. most if not all soundcards have general midi in them which is 127 different sounds plus a drum kit.
however if you have what's called a soundblaster live 5.1 or soundblaster platinum or audigy then you can map wave files into cubase using soundfonts.

You don't need a studio to make rockin choonz, seriously. Just takes a little innovation and a lot of dedication and some nice softsynths... try purchasing fruity, absynth and a juno emulator and then download muon tau for your acid lines and you'll be churning out hardcore like a machine! There's also some mad rockin' samples on the kniteforce site for oldskool...

That's where i got my first samples from :)
In fact, all the breaks i use were from there.

If you look ion the studio at Next generation and Quosh and for dj breeze you'l find reasen and cubase in all of them. That seems to be the choice. But then they are working with extenal hardware.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I got it free on a computer music cover disk and for what it cost (nothing) it's EXCELLENT.
Well, actually... since it was free...

Download that, that's the plugin. It does a pretty good job. :)

Weasels remix ain't half bad is it.
Im just a bassline addict
Im just a hardcore addict
Im just a dancefloor manic
Why o why cant you just accept it. |

And just 2 mention it aint finished yet!
#Music takes you Round and Round and Round Round Round Round# |
| Weasel |
lol, I dunno if the vocal works with it!
 I don’t mean to be rude, it just come naturally |
| Kaffine |
Eh, no disrespect to weasel, but I don't think it's that good a remix. It sounds mad off key and is having the same effect as nails on a blackboard to me. All things said, it's good production. :)
|
| Weasel |
I respect what your saying, but keep in mind its only a clip and wassent tweaked to what I wanted it to be and to tell you the truth I just chucked the vocal over it. I never said I was the best producer (Im a n00b really) infact it wassent even me who post the file up.
I don’t mean to be rude, it just come naturally |

You would have to send your tune to them, and if they liked it enough they might play it :)

| djmonoxide |
^^ or if they are A$$ holes they could claim it as their own song. That would suck haha. I say make friends with studios get them to cut ur track on vinyl and play it urself!
I used to be a raver, used to take lots of E. Now I just smoke weed, and you know I will Succeed. :)
P.S. Weasel tweak all u want with ur track but good lord, won't do much good. I say start over sir! |
| Kaffine |
Dude, wow, that's two posts in a row where you don't mesh quite with the vibe of the board - careful dude! Don't be mean, heh. And no filesharing services, either ;P
