Hello.

Can someone please explain to me what side chain compression' is, why it's useful, and if one is using a DAW (in my case Cubase) how do I create a side chain.

Hello!

Here's a track I recorded a few years ago and I recently found it, dusted it off, polished it a little and put it out.

Would like your opinion.

Hi!

I'd like to know your opinion about this latest piece I made.

I work with samples. I have not seen many sampled based songs on this board so this might be kind of novel.

Thanks!

This is all samples (and some scratching).

Would like to know what you think:

I did indeed compress the hell out of it.

I've never worked with vocals before, so I got lucky.it seems like everything is easier when one records in stereo.

I updated the mix with compression on the vocals and it sounds much better. The initial link I posted is still good.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you everyone.

Any recommendation for a free plug in compressor for OSX?

I reconfigured my website. Please let me know what you think of the recordings.

Thank you.

Sorry I didn't respond to this so long ago.

I used AT4050 mics in the Blumlein configuration.

I was about 6 feet from the musicians. The floor is linoleum and there was a tall ceiling right above the players but not above where the mics were.

Hello.

Can anybody please recommend a good and non-pricey dj controller I can run into Cubase so I can do scratching over tracks?

Thank you.

Hello. Can someone please help me set up a Numark Mixtrack II USB DJ Controller to run into my Cubase Artist 6 for recording purposes? Is it even possible? I have a Mac with two USB outlets. One will need the Cubase dongle so I will only have one USB outlet left. I also use a ProFire 610 - High-Defi...
