Re: Check my new setup - and should I get Akai MPK49, or MPD18?

First off niiiiiice room you got there. Concerning the room treatment. A corner is always the worst place for monitors and mixing setup. You have all your sounds bouncing off the right wall. Also you are in a corner, which i know for a fact is exaggerating your low freqs (which i bet sounds good, bu...

Re: Mastering- GOOD ENOUGH

if you have a little extra change in your pocket, and have a track that you really want "fluffed"

then i would go with online mastering. there are a lot of sites out there that do this entirely through the internet. Some folks do your first track free

Re: How to get that compressed sound (i did search, really...)

you can also sidechain compress the ENTIRE mix off your drums and snares, so they can poke through without a doubt. be very light on the trigger though, you don't want to make them blaring through your mix

Re: most underrated parameter to automate

If a beauty contest was held under a bridge, and the judges stood above the contestants....

Re: Check my new setup - and should I get Akai MPK49, or MPD18?

akai mpk49 does its job. i have it and i love it, especially after i modded the pads to be extra sensitive. something you will probably do if you get it also. if you do get it, go to mpcstuff.com, they have some stuff there to pimp it out. also i would invest in a subwoofer if you make electronic mu...
