Hi from Australia,
I'm in the middle of gathering info on what components i should
specify for my first audio PC. This forum has been a great help to
me, so thanks for that. I've identified the basics which i've listed
below but when it comes to deciding on critical parts i am totally
lost! I mean...the more i read about chipsets and mobo's the

This is my first post here so hello to you all.

Amateur alert...

By studying different rap/hip hop waveforms I see that the bass drum/snare are usually the peaks of the waveform.

That's why I noticed that most of the instrumentals I produce are not that loud.

Ok...last night I was trying to set up my XP machine with the OS and App drive(Western Digital 20GB) on the IDE 1 position as master and two Maxtor 40GB drives on IDE 2 as a striped RAID 0 array...now, if I disconnect the two Maxtor drives and do the XP setup it sees the WD drive..if I try it WITH the two Maxtors setup as a RAID or as independent disks XP won't see any hard drives. huh?

Hi there! I got your message from Opus, and I'll give you a call tomorrow. If you ever want to email me, my addy is synergetekMac.com.
BTW, I never see Joel on here any more. Is he still around? Say "Hi" to him for me if you happen to talk to him.

I have the chance to trade my old C414 for the new Shure KSM44. A friend of mine didn't like the Shure so I told him I would lend him my 414 and if he liked it I would consider a straight up trade with him.

Heya :) I'm a little stuck on a few questions...

1. If a song has a tempo of 112 BPM, how long is one beat (in milliseconds)?

2. On a digitial delay, which parameter allows you to create multiple delays?

3. What type of dynamic processor triggers when the signal falls below the threshold? (is this one an expander?)

I'm a rap producer - I produce instrumentals for artists to rap to.

How does one get to be a producer like for say Jermaine Dupri, Timbaland, for example. Where do you start?

Also, how do you protect against people 'biting' my beats? How do I copyright?
