Hi, Copying drum styles to get the feel is one solution, but I find it not as satisfying as just getting my own beats and breaks rolling and making a tune. Sometimes its down to the sounds used more than the actual pattern and I could spend 2 weeks trying to recreate someone elses drums. I'm sure it will happen at some point by accident - can't force these things.
Er, with recording stuff - yes i usually do just record to normal C90 tape and then to MD once i'm happy with it. Its mainly for listening to in the car and i tend to just remix them from week to week. I was thinking of getting a CDRW for my PC (as I only have a little portable Sony MD recorder and strangely, the tunes never sound quite as nice once on MD as they do on tape - bit boomy and the headroom is not very good probably cos of the converters. I think its the recorder, cos my old portable MD made fine recordings and so does my mates MD Technics separates but this one doesn't. Anyone got any recommendations for a good PC CDRW - if its bay mounted - can you burn a CD in real time whilst playing it thru Logic (like you would do with a MD or DAT) or would I have to save it as a file and burn it afterwards thru eg Cool Edit or Acid Laters Dan -----Original Message----- From: Jurgen Baute [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 March 2002 10:45 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Making it sound good (was Re: CDs v Vinyl) no concrete tips i guess, but that's life :) btw, when you burn your tracks to CD (I'm guessing your not using tapes), do you just waste a whole CD on a single track? Or is there some way to use multi session audio CD's? I've tried CD-R's before but they only play on my computer. ------------------------ On 4 Mar 2002 at 9:14, Daniel Norman wrote: > Hi > > Just the process of making a few tunes and listening to them on other > systems will make give you the knowledge after a couple of months, it just > happens really, you can't force it to happen, but it will all become clear > (bit like programming ghost hits, one day it clicks - i'm still waiting for > this one to happen tho, he, he).... > > Laters > > Dan > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jurgen Baute [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 02 March 2002 06:02 > To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List > Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Making it sound good (was Re: CDs v Vinyl) > > > > So how do you go about this? > Is it the same Brian is saying about knowing the flaws in your soundsystem > and > compensating for them? > > ------------------------ > On 1 Mar 2002 at 10:02, Jones, Martyn wrote: > > > > Agreed. > > > > I use to check my mixes thru a number of different sources, but as you > > rightfully point out, you get to know using you own source what sounds > like > > what on other systems.
