@ Nadav - I will kindly disagree with a few of your comments. Sure your hands can make music but to think that your brain is not involved in that process is odd.

Also remember that everyone works differently. Everyone grasps things a little differently.

Seriously, this is music. You gotta friggin practice.

To just say "you gotta friggin practice" is a weak statement. You can practice all you want. It doesn't always mean that you will have that great creativity. A writer can write, but does he/she always write gold? Nope. And just like them, we to get "writers" block.

As for the emotional character lives in your hands comments, all I can say is my hands feel no emotion. Emotion comes from inside for me. The way a chord strikes or vocalists hits a certain note, can affect us emotionally.

My point is, we are all not the same.

Sounds good! I'm not familiar with the original but I like how this sounds.
And I've always wanted to know how to do the progressive house stutter thing. You use it at 1:37. Good job overall!

The build quality of the NI Audio 6 is questionable imo. I had issue with mine so I took it back to Guitar Center and bought a Tascam US4x4. Ive been happy ever since.

So my vote would be for the Steinberg or Focusrite. I think you should be good with either one of those.

Appreciate the info! Looks like I'll be playing around with some vocals tonight. Thanks! 

Curious to know how others go about getting a female vocal to sound like a deep male voice.

I've tried the transpose -6 to -8 thing, but for me to get it closer to that "Tchami" style I have to use a plugin. For that I use Elastique Pitch. It doesn't work great all the time with every vocal sample but I've gotten it to sound better than the transpose thing.

So this is my method but I know there is a another way to do this. How do you do it?

I recently redid my master chain by removing all but two things. I'm not an audio engineer and I haven't done music for years and years. I've kept more focus on the tracks themselves lately as I kept messing up my work by trying to add this and that on the master channel. Plus I'm in an apartment with no subwoofer. So for now I will accept the fact that I will have someone else master my work. With that said, here is my master chain....

Seven Phases Spectrum Analyzer
Voxengo Elephant (Not for the limiter but for the WAV graph.)

I use volume automation on just about every track. I feel like I have more control over the whole song to make certain parts stand out over others at certain times. It gets tedious as hell though if you ever have to move all of them.

Samplemagic AB is pretty good. You can have up to 8 reference tracks.
