Excuse me if I'm reading this wrongly. You will not be able to get the kick to stand out properly from a loop. The best way to do anything with drum loops is to cut them up and give each part it's own channel so you can EQ, effect etc as required.

Been a long time since I posted because I got lazy making music.... finally got some motivation back and my track is sounding good. But I am using a sample track for my drums, and i can't get the kick to stand out... I am looking for ideas to make my kicks sound sweet but not have to cut every kick out of my sample track and put filters on it. If that makes sense.....? haha. I'm using logic. Cheers

One of the best posts I have read on here. Got me on track with my beats again. Been a long long time since posting or trying anything new Thanks Street!

Thanks guys I'll start sifling through. cheers

Shweet, much appreciated. I need to use beatport more :/

Not sure if I ever introduced myself, so I thought I would again even though I have been using AUSDJ for a while! Call me JB or Jbeard (whatever). I don't DJ but I have a lot of interest in it and some of my close mates do. I do however try (badly) producing. Recently got Logic and finally feel like I am getting somewhere slowly! Hopefully will have a song up soon for you so don't laugh. Cheers, JB

Howdy all I was recently introduced to remix comps, but I was wondering what other ways there are to get stems? I was told a long long time ago that you could email artists and they are usually happy to send you stems? Just for odd songs or older ones etc I can't find any comps or places to get the files I neeedz. How do all the producers get there hands on these epic remixs?? JB

So true Cupe, so so true!

Awesome, I had just noticed this one. Pretty much was expecting to have to pay about that. Thanks for your help Chev

Anything from $0-250. But would prefer around $150...

Thanks heaps

I am looking at getting a sound interface, I want to spend as little as possible... I need at least one MIDI input for when I get a keyboard or drum pads etc. A headphone jack and the ability to connect monitors when I get them. I want it to USB... which I think is pretty standard? I am pretty new to interfaces, this is what I have found so far but even cheaper would be awesome... https://www.storedj.com.au/products/MAU-FTRACKUSBMK2 Thanks, JB

Best. Idea. Ever. Didn't even think of this, I will make an acount ASAP. I'm in!

Ok, I have been thinking I need an interface for a while. i think it's time I got one...

No usb? So can it be used as a MIDI as well? I take it you can go MIDI out to USB into your computer?

I was looking at the Micron, the only thing that puts me off is that it has less knobs and such on it. Does that annoy you?

Hi All, I am trying to decide whether to get a Novation Xio, a Alesis Micron or a Microkorg... I want a synth that I can double as a MIDI. Does anyone have any of these? What are your opinions? Thanks, John

Oh man that's great, I love when people just tell you step by step instead of all that fancy confusing lingo!! ahah. Thank you and I will try as soon as I get home! Thanks guys, all great help

Like on his sincere remix, that's the best example I can think of. What other stuff would he run it through do you think? Yeah it's so bad ass sounding!! Haha

Hi all, I am trying to get a Nero sound on Massive, that real deep rolling bass wobble, not your usual mid range type... Has anyone got any good tutorials or screen shots of Massive to help me out? Cheers

By the way is Logic region coded? Can I buy a UK copy and use it on my Aus Macbook?

Dam, I am a bit nervous getting it off eBay.. Was it unopened? Yeah Apple are like that haha. Good products just annoyingly expensive.

Hi, Wondering where the cheapest place to purchase Logic is? I live in WA so keep that in mind but willing to buy online as well. Also does the US Apple store ship to Aus? Because that would most likely cheaper with Aussie dollar and all Cheeeers

Hi All, Not sure what section so I put it in both because I suppose it applies! My friends from my Home town have made a remix for Shakira 'Rabiosa' and entered it into the competition! Their name is Mooch8Manerfry, give it a listen here - shakira.heroku.com. Awesome remix and make sure you listen the whole way through as it gets real juicy around 2:56 ... then Like it if that's how you feel! Cheers, JB
