Composition/Arrangement/Theory / How do you guys cut down on the # of tracks in your projects?
« on: February 17, 2016, 03:34:05 am »
I find myself always getting to the point in my tracks where i have close to a 100 different tracks in my DAW (Logic Pro) and it gets not only laggy but overwhelming. I think to myself constantly that there must be a better way but i cant seem to find any tips online. Each and every sample i drag in or sound i make needs a completley different volume level or specific plugin that makes it need its own specific track.

I know you can send tracks to Aux channels to cut down on this, but that only gets me so far.

How do you guys cut down on the amount of tracks you have in one project?

Mixing/Mastering / Adding/Matching Bass to a Sample [Help!]
« on: January 27, 2016, 04:32:54 am »
I've been having the hardest time matching a bass to a sample synth loop that i mangled into an awesome sound. I cant seem to get any sort of bass i write to match the sound or beat of the sample nicely.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make a bass to use with a sample?

Thanks!

EDIT: Ive uploaded a sample of the sound for reference

R&A Graveyard / A Notifications Tab or Pane
« on: January 25, 2016, 03:16:43 am »
It would be really helpful to have an area on the forums where we get notifications or alerts when people respond to our posts, mention us in a post or quote something in our posts. This way we can make sure we are always involved when people tag us or quote us etc.

Ive seen this in most forums it would be great to see it implemented here.

Mixing/Mastering / The Mono Build Trick
« on: January 20, 2016, 03:24:48 am »
I just saw this quick tutorial from Hyperbits about putting automation on your build to slowly descend into Mono and then back to stereo on the drop to make it hit harder.

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Advice on Buying a Used Interface
« on: January 07, 2016, 09:54:56 pm »
I was looking to buy a new interface under $200 and i found a couple used models for good prices from guitar center.

Also i found a Scarlett 2i2 for $70 on craigslist. The guy says it works perfectly and is in good condition but doesnt have anything i can test it on before i buy it.

Has anyone had any experience with buying these things used or should i just cash out on a new one?

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Cheap Audio Interface ONLY for Headphones Use
« on: January 07, 2016, 01:18:06 am »
Hi All, This is my first post on the forums and i plan to be here quite often! (Thanks Mat Zo!)

My question is about getting an interface or just a DAC converter. At the moment i have a 2015 macbook pro (Just upgraded from my 2010) and i produce on Logic Pro X. I am looking to set up a simple studio and WONT be using monitors in my set up because they are too loud to use in my apartment complex.

For mixing my tracks i go to a friends place who has a nice monitor setup with a treated room and do all of that there. What i am looking for is a cheap interface that will allow me to get a better quality sound from my laptop to my headphones for optimum production efficiency. Again, this is the only need i have for the interface.

I dont want to spend too much money now since i will eventually be getting monitors and will need a decent interface for them.

Ive been looking at the Behringer UM2 for $32 to get the job done but i just dont know if it will produce the quality i want even if it is only for headphones.

I am considering just buying an interface now to use with the monitors i will eventually be getting when i move and just cash out on the Scarlett 2i2 or Solo.
