this is off topic. I wouldn't really care except that its turning into a marathon thread, and based on what I've read thus far, its less mastering tips and more arguing about protools and how to sound like someone else sounded 10 years ago (aka "old school")
I know there is a 313 production list for threads of this exact nature. -Joe No offence, but it sounds like you have never used Pro Tools. There is the free version at digidesign's web site if you want to become more familiarized with the software. http://www.digidesign.com/ To me you you cant blame what your describing on 'over-production' it's more like 'over-processing' or the over use of DSP type effects. One big differance I hear in todays techno and 'tech-house' has more to do with the equipment people are using, buy a real TR-808 and a vintage synthesizer if you want to sound old school. on 2/5/03 8:50 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Far be it for me to enter into a 'debate', but I didn't assert that > Pro-Tools performs composition.
