just thinking about saving time programming,

i never get the results im looking for with a compressor

so everyone still using impulse and drum rack eh?

i do like to programme my beats but they sound detached rather than a tight full beat

when you hear verb on a mastered track it sounds quite subtle but also very important, im struggling to get that nice balance of a subtle reverb for vocals but without over doing it, i know you can back off the wet dry but some tutorials would be great tried looking on youtube and found nothing but ...

is anyone using this for house music? just wondered how it stacks up,

sounds quite good, but seems more industial sounding due to the synth elements of the the vst

i want to get the best possible drum samples i can, however some are just a compilation of chopped up loops, the kicks you can hear the hi hats behind the kick etc etc, my drums seem to have no sparkle, or even feel like a whole drum loop, i realise i need reverb, compression but you need to start w...

so what sample source would anyone recommend for house? most i find the kicks and sounds are just from loops, the kicks stll have the hat hits behind them and are not very clean really i dont mind spending hours listening to drum hits if the end result works out, but i dont want to spend money on an...

i could do with a good new sample pack for drums, i get sick of all those heavy kicks that are just taken from loops, you can still hear the hi hats or some other clicks that cant be removed without loosing the main feel of the kick, i do group my drums, but worry about compression, and verb mine te...

What would you recommend ?

I do watch YouTube and get some ideas that are handy
But it's always good to get other peoples views

any tips on this ?

i tend to have all drums on seperate channels then group then, but never know how to use the compressor to make them all gel, also people tell me use some flange on the hats, and saturation on overall drum group

anyone else have any tips to get the drums larger ?

i bought a new barbones pc, upgraded to windows 7, now i have a strange audio feeback all the time, sounds like a fax noise, everytime you click on something and its present when i bounce down tracks, also quick time was working fine, now it plays but no audio, in windows 7 sound properties it shows...

Thank you so much can't believe it was something so simple how weird all working fine now, I would have never figured that out

Thanks in advance

yeah just some recommendations would be good as a staring point, i dont mind editing patches that already interest me, my time is so limited, i would like to enjoy making music rather than hours of editing, i know it gives you your own sound but still, i heard Jupiter could be good for house music? ...
