Monday morn..up and at em all! I started chopping some samples already. I’ll probably be working with Maschine, and the Mpc 2500 all day. Working on a sole produced project, and have another lined up right after yaaay !
You all know I love hitting up youtube before I get to work …. Here is a nice Mpc 5000 video posted by www.hiphoptools.com youtube channel Akai MPC 5000 HipHopTools.com
Love it! …Pretty much sums up how a lot of producers feel about the art of sampling ..
What’s Up?.. I had a super, smashing, bangin’ birthday weekend … My family threw a party for me and we had a blast..The weather was so beautiful on Sat. perfect for all the fun.
I was rushing a little before, and left my lab a little messy..lol. I’m taking some time to get things organized, so I’m watching educational videos while I tidy.
I’ve been getting into Sonar a bit lately. It’s not as easy to use as Reaper, but you can surely achieve great mixes with it.
Here is a 35 minute webinar that Cakewalk released a couple years ago. I am listening to it as I type, and it is an excellent resource for Sonar users.
Wednesday..this week is going by so fast. I’m about to mix some vocals for my evening session. I had to check a few emails which had nice youtube links. After checking the links, I found a cool contest that I know one of us can win …
Contest Info ( From Native Instruments On Youtube):
In this spectacular quick mixing routine, DJ Shiftee juggles 35 tracks in 90 seconds! Use your classic hip hop knowledge to name all 35 tracks featured in their correct order (note that only 10 names are blurred out on the screen, so you can read 25 names from the deck details) for a chance to win a heavyweight TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO setup with the TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 DJ controller and additional colored vinyl.
Check out the competition over at www.skratchworx.com, and send your answers to wintraktor@native-instruments.com before August 31, 2010.

Woo Wee have I found a treasure for any Fl Studio users. ste1438 has taken tons of hours to create some of the most helpful Fl Studio videos I’ve seen on the net. There is something here for everyone as the title describes, Beginner To Pro!
I watched a couple, and although I consider myself an advanced Fl user, I learned something even in tutorial 1. They all are at least 20 minutes long. I bookmarked the page so I can go back when I have time. Here are the first and last that he’s posted so far: Video 01 – FL Studio Tutorials Beginner to Pro
Video 05 – FL Studio Tutorials Beginner to Pro
Like going to Fl Studio classes … remember go back when you can, this is great stuff! enjoy…ste1438 tutorials on youtube
Happy Beat Making To All!

WOW ..it’s so nice out today. I’m feeling very inspired. This is great because the sun won’t temp me to hit the streets lol..
I have been doing a lot more recording this year. Engineering is becoming more and more clear to me. Now that I can get some decent recordings done, I need to focus on vocal mixing. I’ve done so many post on mixing the beats, but not much on the other 50%, the vocals.
Here is a brand new Fl Studio Guru video which explains a few things about vocal mixing. Fl Studio Guru: Voca lMixing (Compression and Eq)
If you don’t use Fl Studio, all the tips can be used in the DAW of your choice. Just use the plugins and editors you have to accomplish the same effects. It’s good to watch videos, and read post even if you don’t have the exact software. I’m always sharing “general techniques”, along with “unique to the software” specifics
Happy Mixing To All
Pz Til Later!

Hey All! I really wanted to do this as a tutorial today. I am editing video, and photos from a wedding I filmed in NJ last weekend. Everything is going smooth, but it takes a lot of time for the video files. Time won’t allow a full length write up, I figured I can at least add the template because I know 2 people who have gotten Maschine recently….
This is fairly easy to use, and maschine should open up when you open the project file
This is a basic Reaper Template w/ Maschine.
I have routed 8 Maschine Outs w/ drums using NI Maschine factory sounds, and two Reaper Vsts
to midi out 1&2.
I have each Reaper track set to record audio
You can record your entire project inside Maschine, then track as audio in Reaper.
If you’d like to use more vst instruments, just “insert virtual instrument on new track” inside Reaper and press “io”. Next “add new receive,” and select “Maschine 1″. Change the 1st “Midi” box from “All” to “3″. You can continue to add up to 16 vst instruments by following the exact steps. Your next vst would >>Change the 1st “Midi” box from “All” to “4″..
As you add your instruments remember to assign the proper “midi out” inside Maschine as you add them…
Vst “1″ inside Reaper =Midi Out “1″ inside Maschine..and so on
