Right. Out of nowhere.
Welcome

I think I'm just going to stick with the headphones because I'ma be rooming with some people (probably temporarily) and it probly wouldn't be agood idea to be producing on monitors in that situation.

They were from a pawn shop anyway and they didn't know how many hours were on the monitors so **Thumbs down

 

[tw3ek]

Don't really trust none of them. But this was one of those ebay pawn shop sellers

can someone explain what a module is and does, and is it necessary?

trying to build a studio

 

[tw3ek]

modul = rack, right ?

buggz? stunt?

 

[blackbenz]

so its not needed?

but what is for

 

[tw3ek]

a sound module is nothin but a keyboard say a motif but with no keys... it comes in the rack format so u can just screw it in and midi it up to a controller orkeyboard... #%+! is only for producers... if u just lookin to record vocals u don't need it...

 

[blackbenz]

so did you use that for those joe budden remixes which were pretty dope btw

 

[tw3ek]

lol nah... thanks...

i use reason 4... and a midi controller... hardware is waaaaaaaaaaay outta my "budget"... Honestly everyone is moving to software for production...even dre uses VSTs... nitti uses reason... dj khalil too... alot of cats... i heard timbo uses it from time to time... and we ALL know polow uses garage bandsometimes

 

[blackbenz]

yeah hardware is mad expensive but ive been using fl studios and im a bit tired of using the qwerty keyboard

 

[tw3ek]

get reason and a midi controller... $175 total (reason 4 and 30 gigs of refills from ya boy for $75 and a midi controller for $100)...

and if u dont know exactly what a midi controller is its just a keyboard with no sounds that lets u control the sounds in programs and other midi devices...

i use the m audio keyrig 49e

 

[blackbenz]

silly question but does reason work on laptops with no internet

 

[tw3ek]

lol yea... mac or pc...

 

[blackbenz]

great ok now i want to throw in a turntable for sampling, will that also work

 

[tw3ek]

yea... they got usb turntables now... i think they run bout $100... u can pretty much get usb anything...

the next generation gone %!!* around and have usb as wall outlets... whole house one big computer and %+!%... no regular plugs... just usb and for the richfolks... firewire

 

[buggz05]

@ usb outlets (<< firewire outlets)

If you got the money and a good controller (along with analog to digital interface) I would recommend a sound module. Some of them can be had for very cheap onebay (cheap as in 300...but your getting 3000 dollar sounds...)


Research the old analog synthesizers racks. Roland, Korg etc....

sonicsynth.com

synthopia.com

are good reference sites. Most keyboards have twin brother rack modules....

 

[acidicality]

aight i just got my hands on Reason, i'll probably google it myself anyway, but...what's the best reason tutorial out there online? (of course,that's free)

good looks

 

[tw3ek]

youtube.com of course...

u definetly dont wanna do that... hardware = overrated... look at this punk +%@ machine


ud b gettin laughed at... FL users would prolly laugh at u... if u want some pags THAT bad get an mpd along wit a midi controller... hook em up to reason andgo at it... but that thing right there is a waste of money...

[TYE_The Time Traveler]

Is the microkorg worth getting or should I stay with my 49 keyrig?

 

[tw3ek]

microkorg is a synth isnt it? if u dont have any other hardware i wouldnt suggest it... cop and mpd if u want some added fun... lol...

what u usin that keyrig with? get @ me on aim (cornrobcun)... i find it easier to help people in real time

 

[flossb15]

microkorg is a mini synth - comes with great sounds...but i wouldnt recommend it as #1 your first purchase and #2 your only midi keyboard...Dont just jump inthe game and not understand what your getting yourself into, do your research and test out products before you make a silly mistake

Ask yourself what you want to do...then go from there

 

[blackbenz]

ok so what is a midid controller actually

that thing has no sounds in it... it will control whatever sounds/knobs/buttons u have in whatever midi capable program/device u hook it up to... u can alsoget pads that resemble an mpc... all of these hook up via midi out or usb cable...
