OK, i checked out all of the microphones you guys suggested. I ended up going with the SM57 mic. It seemed to be the best one for the money. I dont have the $300 bucks for that NT2A (I just bought Reaktor 5) and i kinda need a mic soon-ish. Anyway, thank you all for the input and i really appreciated all of the suggestions.

I would most likely record vocals and guitar most.
Thanks for the comments guys!

Ive been looking into getting the Behringer C2 condensor mics. You get two for $50 bucks and they're supposedly really good sound. I was wondering though, are they stereo? what are condensor mics? Are they any good from anyone who has tried them?
Thanks for the help.

One time...! At band camp...!
I can only vouch that the flute is friggin' difficult to play... Practice Practice Practice.
EDIT: Um, from what i can understand, trill is where you wobble the knee between the two notes to make it... wobble... kinda like doing the pitch bending thing with a guitar. I know this prolly doesnt help, but i feel bad making my shitty lil joke when you're asking for help. That's all i got.

I didnt mean to kill the thread...
Anyone else use Reaktor???
I was messing around with it the other day and havent been able to write a synthesizer worth using in a song... Its kinda frustrating. Everything ive tried to do to be "groundbreaking" turns out to be shit. Oh well, i guess ill use the 65 synths and FX for now

ok, i dunno, but i think this thread may be locked cuz it'll turn into a FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTY FUCKIN LOOPS RULEZ CUZ REEZON IS FUCKIN GAY!!!!!!111!!!! Thread, but as far as i know i could be totally wrong about this, as i tend to be often...
Anywho, in my personal, non-inflammatory opinion, i am a total Reason fanboy but it doesnt do VST support so you'd have to look elsewhere for that and it also doesnt do tempo automation or audio splicing type things.
Ableton is a great host for tempo automation and vst hosting but isnt too good with audio that i can tell from my few months with it (it could, but i find the audio splicer to be rather counter-intuitive).
Logic i hear is quite good at this kinda thing but i believe its rather expensive at around $900. I would like to say ACID would work for you, but it doesnt work with Macs. I also hear cubase is pretty good, though i dont know from experience... ive never heard of Metro and know next to nothing about digital performer.
Pro Tools is the "industry standard" but you definately have to pay for the name... its quite expensive if you're lookin at anything real good/legal *buy your software *
I hope this helps some...

Yeah, ive been looking into a lot of the Reaktor type stuff and am looking into downloading a few of the user-created ensembles; they look pretty pro.
Sounds good Scott, i was really looking at getting komplete as well, just didnt have the money for that and a new car...
Im really just getting started and havent created much of anything with the core tech yet (well, i havent been able to make any sound i just got it a few days ago ) I just got it a couple days ago. -
I recently purchased Reaktor 5 and am absolutely astounded by all of the features and the quality of everything in it. I hadn't really heard much about it until recently and have found that a lot of people swear by it.
I have by no means even experimented with all of the different factory synths/FX in it let alone the steps deeper into the audio laboratory... It just seems so amazing how all of these synths and everything can be made yourself and with such high quality. There is a friggin steep learning curve as i can already tell, and it does seem pretty heavy on the CPU cycles but the sonic possibilities alone seem more than worth it.
I was just wondering if anyone here was well versed in any of the Reaktor products and wanted to share any of their own thoughts/insight about what i can see as the end-all to software synthesis. [/plug] (seriously though, this is like an audiophile's wet dream)

Do this.
Take the clip you want effected. Cut it and make it a new file. Make sure you leave some nice blank space at the beginning of it. Once you have this new clip, reverse it (so the blank space is at the end) then apply a shitton of your reverb of choice on it. It should have a nice long tail. Mess around with some effects on it or whatever, then reverse it again (back to normal) and then place it back in your song.
Wow, thats a great idea, ive never thought of that... You are my hero myf!
Also, for mentioning Hybrid, Anonymous, you are F'ing awesome...
yeah... i guess im easily impressed this morning...

For anyone who cares...
Reason 3.0
ACID Pro 5.0
Ableton Live 5.2
EWQLSO Gold
Fender Squire
some generic Yamaha Keyboard...
About 85% of everything i do is in Reason, the rest is various FX and sound tampering stuff in both Ableton and ACID and Orchestral stuff from EWQLSO.

This is SUCH a noob question but wtf does RMS mean?
-
Doing right now:
Final Fantasy VII-Mark of the Traitor (anyone know if this is being covered on the album???)
Future:
FFVII-Wutai (2nd try)
Vectorman- (i cant remember which one, but i think it was the water level) (2nd try)
Usually I have a remix i REALLY want to do and when i go to do it, i want to do another remix...
-
Rewiring actually does work. You just have to use it sparingly; ive been using it in my recent song...
-
I really like this a lot seph. I really wanted to do a remix of the main theme from shadow of the colossus, but i guess if anything i'll wait a while
. Keep going, this is badass and is produced quite well already. 
-
I second this wholeheartedly. This has been my absolute favorite wip ever since the very beginning. SUBMIT THIS!
BTW, where did you get the percussion samples starting 1:24. Those are great!
-
I would actually have to say that I did do this about a year ago when I first started making music and thought it was a great idea. However, I soon found that setting the FX and everything up at the start got me into a huge slump since I kind of set myself into a mold with it. I would recommend doing it if your first starting out so that you have a premade structure to make it easier to start, but once you get proficient and have tons of tracks working that it really is restricting and you arent able to pull off something mind-blowing.

Yeah, I know how to sidechain, I've looked through the manual and it says the compressor that comes with it doesn't do sidechaining. I also do know how to sidechain with Ableton, but I just need a compressor that sidechains, which I think you just showed me. Thanks.
-
Im really sorry if this has been answered before, but does anyone know of a good *free* compressor thats especially good at sidechaining or at least has it. The only one I've found is on kvraudio and doesn't work with Ableton... I think its just called "sidechain compressor" and is made by a japanese company.
-
I figure this might be kinda a bad topic, but since there isn't a sticky thread or even a thread that talks about sidechaining in Ableton Live I figured I'd start one.
Anyway, I've been through the manual and all over the internet to find out how to do this and I can't figure it out... Sidechain Compression in Ableton Live 5.

I really like this. There's quite a bit going on to keep the listener very interested throughout the mix. The production is pretty pro and tight. I also really liked the phasing of everything in the background throughout. Good job BGC.
-
Woohoo! Finally made it up on the boards! Great stuff you two. Pretty hard to go from one musical extreme to another but its pulled off very well.
-
I have a question about the Phaser effect.
Why does it sound different everytime the song is played? For example: I've recorded some voice. I insert it into Nn-19 and add Phaser. Sometimes some pitch applies to the very end of the voice, sometimes to the middle, sometimes not at all, etc. even though NO changes are made. It really bugs me to make several wavs of the final production just to get the phaser to work in a correct spot. Any ideas?
Well, this is most likely because you dont have the phaser locked to the tempo. When it isnt locked to the tempo, the phaser just kinda starts its up/down "phasing" sound where you started playing the song from; so it changes every time. I dunno, this annoys the shit out of me if I have a heavily feedbacked phased synth working so i lock to tempo as a rule of thumb... (This also goes for the Chorus/Flanger.)
Hope this helped.

D'oh, the mario 64 awesome song! I was gonna do that...
. Sick song by the way, I really like the piano licks on it, but hey its not a wip forum so on to the problem... uh, I have no idea why it would do that... um, my guess is if you like the added chorus, just add it in manually, but if you don't then don't switch down to a lower bitrate. -
Yeah, I sent one in when I first started and got an instant rejection.
I still dont have a remix finished...
