Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Re: Do All the Top Producers Have a Virus?
« on: January 06, 2016, 08:27:45 pm »
I bought a Virus TI Snow for Christmas a few years ago, it's the most expensive paperweight I've ever owned!
Yes, you can make really amazing sounds with it and it's fun to use, but softsynths these days give hardware a run for its money.
Don't get me wrong it definitely is worth it, but there are other options out there that are less expensive.

Mixing/Mastering / Re: EQ'ing a Kick
« on: January 06, 2016, 08:42:05 am »
I have a bad habit of layering kicks (4~6 normally) in the same project as the song I'm working on, so I need to EQ quite a lot. The best thing to do IMO is make kicks outside of your song project so that by the time it's in there you don't really need to do any EQing at all. Make a sample pack of all your own kicks/snares etc that are already processed, then when you need to use them in songs you won't need to do much to them in terms of EQing and compression.
Each kick sample has it's own "sweet spots" too when it comes to EQing, so the best thing to do is not really focus too much on finding out what Hz is best for a "boomy" sound etc and just try to listen to what sounds good and fits in your song. Of course this changes when layering though, that's a lot more surgical.

Not too sure about used, sorry man.
And yeah I know what you mean about getting gear off Ebay.Forums like this might help for stuff like that in the future though, I'm sure folk have one they wouldn't mind parting with at some point haha.

« on: January 06, 2016, 07:08:10 am »Awesome setup! Is that a Nord?? Looks stunning
Thanks man!
Yep, Nord Lead 4 and a Virus TI. AU is an RME UCX.
Tanuki I've seen your set up before and I absolutely love it, it just looks so dang cool and i bet it puts you in just the right mood to make some sick ass tunes
Thanks a lot! I pretty much live in this corner apart from when I'm at college, so I've tried to make it as comfy as possible haha.

Would love to produce with monitors, but the acoustics in my room are shite unfortunately.

Sound Design / Re: resampling
« on: January 06, 2016, 06:21:59 am »
I often like adding vocal hits that I've screwed around with beforehand and layering them (Harmor is great for this) over basses I make in either Massive or Serum. I then add the usual, distortion (either Saturn, Trash2 etc), a vocoder somewhere and Guitar Rig. Then I'll bounce it down and run it through the same channel... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
For example the bass hit I made at the end of this - http://vocaroo.com/i/s0tHUa3nblt6
