Good day to you and yours! It’s so beautiful outside, we’re having 70 degree weather in March, quite unusual. For the past few hours, I’ve been upgrading all my software. I’ve been so busy I didn’t know Ni Maschine released a 1.7.2 update. I was about to load up a beat template, and found myself really wishing Native Instruments added level meters to Maschine’s sampler channels. I’ve been finding they help a lot while doing little adjustments along the way.
After all this time, someone on the Ni forum mentioned loading a free plug in into an fx slot. Bingo! Great idea. I think I have a few on my hard drive which will work. The one mentioned on the post was the ” Sonalksis Free G”.
I think this will work perfectly. I don’t want to use a lot of CPU so I will keep them on my “Group” inserts. This way I can monitor things without having too many “Free G” plugins installed on each channel. Another cool thing is it works as a fader as well.
Great Morning to you! What a wonderful weekend,back to work with some new sounds this morning. I know I downloaded this once before, but I just installed it. I’ve been scrolling through a few of the sounds and they aren’t bad for a free module.
College has begun! Woo To The Hoo ….I’ve been up early working. 1st assignments are complete. I am now editing my second artist interview video. I hope to post it this week or maybe later today. Taking a little break to check out what’s new over at:
Point Blank Online
You know I found a gem! The article goes into great detail on how to filter and layer kicks using Logic. I don’t have my Mac yet, so I’ll be trying it either in Reaper or Studio One. This can be done in any DAW, including Fl Studio. All you need is the proper eq plug in. PointBlankOnline How To Layer Kicks In Logic…
Shout out to Loopmasters.com for this this wonderful tutorial on how to use Kirnu inside Reaper. As titled the tutorial walks you from inserting into Reaper, routing suggestions, and playing Kirnu with a midi controller.
Let me know how you like the arpeggiator..hit me up in the comment section…
Happy Beat Making To All!~
Pz Til Later….
P.S
I hope to have time to check in tomorrow. My time will be short due to my family being BIG on holidays…If I don’t get a chance to post, I’ll at least give you a Thanksgiving shout out Thursday
Sample heads where are ya?.. You will love this one!
Can you believe they actually named this Get Lost Singer?..lol
I just tried it on two tracks and it works pretty well. With some eq and adjusting I think this is all I’ll need when filtering samples down to the bassline woo hoo..this is crazy and free!!!
Wonderful morning to you! My work week is getting started today. I’ve been handling a few other business matters, and I’m excited to get back on the music.
I am also happy to write about the new goodies I am using. I can never have too many drumkits. I’ve come across many over the years, and have even made my own. As I advance to the engineering side of music, I know it’s all about frequencies! When I find the perfect kit which is has every wav sound eq’d, and sitting within the right frequency range, I am pleased.
I have posted about an engineer I heard about a couple years ago, Mike Chav. Mike has mixed, engineered,produced, tracked, and played guitar on many of my favorite projects. His list of credits is extensive. Here are a few projects he’s been involved in: Snoop Dogg – “Heartbreaker”
Mixing Stat Quo – “Penthouse Condo”
Producer w/ Boi-1da, Guitar Erykah Badu – “New Amerykah Pt 2: Return of the Ankh”
Executive Producer, Engineer, Tracking, Mixing Erykah Badu – “New Amerykah Pt 1:4th World War”
Executive Producer, Engineer, Tracking, Mixing Guilty Simpson – “Ode to the Ghetto”
Tracking, Mixing Dr. Dre – “Dyin Words” off of “Detox” + other untitled tracks
Engineer, Guitar/Bass Jay Electronica – “Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge)”
Producer, Engineer Pharoahe Monche – “Revenge”, “Cops Comin”, “Evil Eyes”, “Desire”, “So Good”, “Body Baby”, “When The Gun Draws” off of “Desire”
Engineer, Mixing, Guitar, Programming Snoop Dogg – “Beat Up On Your Pads” off of “The Blue Carpet Treatment”
Engineer The Game – “Around The World (feat. Jamie Foxx” off of “The Doctors Advocate”
Engineer, Production, Additional Mixing
Wow! That’s past impressive. Recently Mike has branched into tutorials, and (drumroll please) DRUMKITS . Talk about a break for thousands of producers like me/us. Kits straight from an industry engineer. This is no hand me down, third party, mp3 crap either. The kit’s include high quality, ready to go wav files, hand picked,and mixed by Mike with contributions from other industry producers.
This is the first post of an ongoing category. I am starting with “Drum Arsenal Vol. 1 :Swiss Army Kit”. Site description:
The Drum Arsenal Vol. 1 features 97 high quality wavs of exclusive samples created by Mike Chav, for MikeChav.com. This collection of sounds has been created with the approach of a producer and the technical skill of an engineer, using the highest quality analog and digital signal processing. Creativity and fidelity is paramount here. We do not follow the trends, we make them!
This package includes:
• Kicks and Booms
• Snares and Claps
• Hats, Shakers and Cymbals
• Toms, Percussion and FX
*(THESE SOUNDS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS IN THE PROMO KIT!)
Start your songs and beats off right, replace drums in existing material – surpass the “industry standard”!!!
Here is a link to the FREE Promotional Kit to get you started: Mike Chav Welcome Back Promo Kit
Check out my tester to hear a few of the included drum sounds. I have left the percussion levels up so you can hear how crystal clear, and precisely eq’d they are. This is straight from Maschine no extra plug ins. (*piano sample not included in kit and used only for demonstration purposes*):

Although I made a quick hiphop beat,you can tell this kit could easily be a “go to kit” for various genres including rock,or pop. “Drum Arsenal Vol. 1 :Swiss Army Kit”
Nice!
Happy Beat Making To All!`

My week is starting today. I went out with my cousins this weekend and had a blast! I also hit Street Legal Studios with female rap duo Golden Seal, who will be releasing HOT material this spring and summer. We have been working hard on quite a few big bangers!! I am excited to be close to sharing with all of you, new music that kept me too busy for regular posting…
I ran a few errand this morning. Whenever I don’t start working right away, I like to surf for goodies before I begin anything beat wise. I was looking for a few latin loops to chop and remembered that I had downloaded tons of samples from www.musicradar.com .
Jackpot! I’m going to go through some of them off my hard drive now. I am sure I’ll find something great to get me going today. There are tons of samples to download in the SampleRadar section. Hope you have a lot of disk space, if you are like me, you will want them all ..lol
There are a whopping 26,044 to download, all free….enjoy….
