Folks,

I am trying to finish my own personal electronic "Dance?" album. I have sampled most most all of the Kicks, snares, hats etc. to make up the percussion section off of vinyl and CDs. Some of this music is pseudo Hip-Hop, House and other forms of electrinica. I am using Pro-Tools Digi 001 with a Manley, Avalon pre and the full Waves plugin package.

I am new at the biz of sound person, (about three years) Maybe some of you more seasoned pros could help a gal out. My drummer is solid and a good player and everything has been great til' he bought electronic drums. I can't seem to get the sound right. He adjusts I adjust but I just can't seem to get it right where I want it. When I get the kick bumbing the damn snare tears my head off.

I have had some people ask me to master synth or midi generated music. When I do it for music that has real instruments or the human voice I intuitively know that I'm making it sound better. Electronic music however leaves me confused. Other than removing hiss noise, I don't naturally know what kind of feeling the music's creator is shooting for or what adjustments will make it sound better.

Hello.

Hello.

I am looking to get a rack reverb/effects unit to go with my DIGI001. I would like a 24 bit processor
with SPDIF connection. I am currently looking at the MPX-500 and the M-ONE.

Does anyone have any opinions about these units and what recommendations you would have?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

I love the idea of electronic drums...100+ different kits at your disposal at the push of a button, no huge shells to lug around,
they take less space when they're set up, you can have band practice at low volume, no
more cymbal crashes at ear level, MIDI, and NO MORE MIKING HASSLES !
