Thanks for getting back to me on that, its always interesting to see how other people make music and what equipment gets used.
If that tune was done only using reason + samples and maximised a little in SF then your doing a really great job of selling Reason to me. I already have the supernova and morpheus synths for sampling like you do (i do that anyway atm), so thats fine. Do you have much trouble with Reason choking your PC or is an 800mhz fine for getting your tunes finished (i understand that Reason is far more efficient than other software for producing an entire song) - do you have to bounce much in Logic? I'm guessing that any of the new P4 2ghz and over would be more than adequate given that Nick Lankester gets 30 audio tracks out of a AMD2.2???? I think i would keep the desk and a bit of outboard to route the Reason sound through and rerecord into a wave editor so it wasn't entirely soft (or just sell all of it apart from the PC, cease being anal and be happy with it all, hehe 8) All the best, Dan -----Original Message----- From: Andy Abang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 October 2003 20:25 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Andys Tune rocks hehehe thanks daniel :) actually ethereality is getting released! since it's toni braxton on the one i posted, i had to re-record vox... they're different... i'm going to finish the mixdown today. :) it's coming up on the label "Drum and Bass studio" headed up by dave stoddard of atm magazine. (props to terry morgan for passing it along! you rock!) yep, that's my setup. reason 2.5, i rewire only when i do final mixdowns - the version i posted was straight out of reason with a little maximization in sound forge via waves l1 ultramaximizer. i have a shitty pc cause i can't afford a new one. p3 800mhz, 512 mb ram, audiophile 2496 sound card by m-audio, studiophile bx8 monitors running through a behringer eurorack 10ch mixer, and i have a virus indigo that i only use for sampling atm (i haven't tried to figure out how to set it up in logic). the dell's been ok, they're good because they're built optimized... but you could build a better one more designed for your needs... next computer i get is going to be built from scratch, no doubt. anyway... thanks for the compliments, and i hope i was of some help! going all-software isn't so bad, it's just a different way of working... and you might have to try harder to get away from sounding so soft-synth at first but if you know how you want something to sound you can always eak it out. i'm still working at it... :) ez. ~andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 6:17 AM > To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List > Subject: [dnb-prod] Andys Tune rocks > > > Message for Andy Abang > > Its a bit belated, but that tune you posted the other week is > great.
