Most of the money I have for buying stuff comes from my summer job, which pays a whole lot more than the job I do during the school year. Also I try to get things during a sale or a group buy.
-
Yeah, I would also recommend staying away from a cheap behringer mixer. You'd be better off getting a preamp. If you go with the 0404 you won't need a mixer unless you're planning on recording more than 2 inputs at a time.
-
Am I the only one using Emagic Logic Pro ? o_O
You're the only one (except for those 4 other kings in Europe) who can afford it here.
If you get the academic version, it's not that expensive...
-
I'd love to but what's a chick without a camera?
Um, a camera-less chick?

Cubase users, Unite!
oh....
wait...
no one is out there.
Hey, there are more of you out there then there are Logic users around here. And like SGX said, if you really want to talk about Cubase that bad, there are far better forums to do so. No point in whining about the FL and Reason majority here... again...
Also, another place you may want to check out is the Cubase section of the OSX Audio forum, since you're using it on a Mac and all.

So, next weeks show... Video Podcast of a deathmatch between Zircon and Pixie for Yankees/Red Sox supremacy?
Wait, I'm from Baltimore... so I think they both suck
-
Yeah, ProTools LE isn't anything to get too excited about. Now, a ProTools HD setup loaded with the proper hardware and plug ins and a nice big console... mmmm.
Actually, I really don't have a problem with ProTools. Actually, I liked it more than I liked Cubase...
-
hehehe... jerker
I love the names they come up with.
Yeah, those crazy Swedes...
-
What about a Jerker? That's what I have and it suites my purposes just fine and it won't break the bank.
-
Did you seriously interview at least one minority candidate before selecting Zircon? If this was the NFL, people would be outraged
Looking forward to seeing what nuggets of joy Zircon brings to the show.

5) Compy or others, any reason for preferring Cubase over Sonar, other than that you've been using Cubase for so long?
Personal preference. In the end, alot so sequencers pretty much all do the same things (though, some do somethings better than others) it's just a matter workflow, the user interface, learning curves, cost... and that differentiate them. When I use a PC for music, I used Sonar. Is it any better or worse than Cubase or FL? No, I just liked it more, that's all.
-
Getting Warezed/cracked versions is more convenient; AND I believe it's perfectly legal if you paid for the original software.
Actually, no, it's not legal at all.
-
I am also trying to learn piano.
It's alot harder to learn compared to guitar, IMO.
Cause you have to know how to read music?
Man, I know so many guitar players who are really good buy can't read an ounce of music And Chopin is very good. Actually, I'm playing on of his waltzes (Op. 64 No. 2 in c-sharp minor). Speaking of which, I should probably practice so I don't get yelled at on thursday...
-
Look at that, the Wingless just made me cry. I'm pretty sure that that is some sorta form of black on black crime, and as my buddy Rob always used to tell me, that just ain't cool.
-
Hmm, the things that I use most often are:
Logic Pro 7
Kuzweil PC2X Keyboard (for playing/sketching out ideas and midi input, I don't actually record any of it's sounds)
Rode NT1-A Microphone
Event TR8 Monitors
As for plug-ins and samples I mostly use the stuff included with Logic along with EWQLSO Gold, Stylus RMX, and the Kontakt 2 VSL.
For a more (but not quite) complete list: http://www.music.tgfoo.com/studio.htm
(yeah, I know, I need to redesign/de-suckify my site, but a) I'm lazy
I'm busy, c) I don't like turning on my PC anymore.... and d) I don't have the flash skills to do it the way I want) -
Actually it is a MIDI controller that can "act" as a mixer.
a.k.a a control surface.

ITS TGFOO's BIRTHDAY. HIP HIP HOORAY. I'll drink one for ya tonight, buddy. Have a good time.
(ok time to get off the internet...50 cents a minute from this cruise ship suuux. latas)
Awww, you spent 50 cents just to wish me a happy birthday... That'll teach ya for going on a cruise instead of sticking around to celebrate with me
. Hope your having a good time -
If you don't find something inspiring in that pile of stuff, become a monk and renounce technology.
That's what I'm talking about. Shave your head and wear one of those goofy orange robes.
But seriously, there are a lot of good suggestions in here. Personally, when I have no ideas to work with, I like listening to music (in various styles) or just jamming on an instrument for a while. Usually I'll come across a couple melodies or chord progressions that just click with me... which usually all end up in songs that I never really "finish"
I once made a thread similar to this in another forum. I got a lot of encouraging posts and suggestions like you've gotten. Probably the most interesting suggestion I got was somebody told me to play chess. Didn't really work for me as I am really bad at chess (I lost to my computers chess game's AI in 7 turns, yes, 7 turns.... while it was on the 2nd easiest diffuculty setting
) But hey, it works for some people, and I'm sure you'll find something that works for you. -
No kidding. I guess it's a good thing I didn't order a male stripper with a case of vodka for her, then...
I'll take those.... My birthday is at the end of the month. With enough vodka I won't even notice the stripper anymore (or anything else for that matter...)
-
Happy birthday. Sure I'm a little early, but I'll forget by tomorrow (I forget everyones birthday.... I piss my mom of every year....) BTW, aren't people born in March just awesome? Well, except SGX, he just sucks.
-
Really? Is that the regular price now? I remember it being on sale months ago for that price, but I thought that was a group buy or something.
If that's the reg price now, that's, like, a really awesome deal.
They lowered the price on all of the EWQLSO line (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) by 50% (Despite what they claim, it's basically to get people using their products so they're updgrade to the XP veresion eventually). And I'm with Zircon. Leave Edirol alone, go GPO or Silver. I still prefer GPO's sound to Silver though.
-
but really, who backs up files in two places in the process of writing and producing, back up is usually a process after you have finished a session.
People who don't want to lose their work.
That sounds about right... Every time I close my sequencer I make sure to copy whatever I was working on to a seperate hard drive. Also, I recently I've been saving different versions of the same song backed up just incase I make a major change and then the next day I decide "What the hell was I thinking when I did this yesterday?" (It's happened a few times...)
-
If the gods choose to smile on me I'm getting this Tuesday or Wednesday.
mmmm, Korg.... yum.

Yeah, you can get some decent used keyboards. Though, I would advise not to buy a keyboard that you can't play before you buy. Sure plenty of people will be honest about telling you if there is a stuck key somewhere or other problems that it may have, but if you're going to drop a substantial amount of cash on it, it's best to try it out first hand first.
How do you afford your samples/software/hardware?

Speaking of deals, anyone looking for a nice high quality ethnic library, there is about to be a group buy for Quantum Leap RA soon. Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge up enough money for it...
