How do you DO IT?

What do you guys use to produce? I have not invested in any hardware- I use Propellerheads Reason software, and Acid Pro for adding vocals.

What do you guys use? And does anyone know if vocals can be used in Reason, or any better programs for integrating vocals into tunes?

Hey HalluciNation -
by the way, I'm in Maryland too.

I use FruityLoops.

cubase is best for vocals

i use fruityloops with some samples and softsynths.
you don't really need any hardware these day's.. but it can be fun to use...
i got to borrow a keyboard from my uncle today, but i havne't plugged it in yet.. i need a wire for it, but the n icame to think of my Roland MC-303 so i plugged it into that wich work's just fine.. it got lot's of nice sounds

so i'm just playing around with the sounds till i get the wire i need... and i will probably buy a keyboard later.. might get the chanse to buy the one i'm borrowing hopefully...

yeah i have fruityloops- but in comparison to Reason it is like etch-a-sketch. You guys should give reason a look- download it from some file sharing program. www.propellerheads.se for more info.

Thanx for the tips on cubase- imma get that asap. More Replies! You are helping other budding yet uninformed producers!

what the hell do you guys need SoundForge for?

Posted by pac0r on Jan-23-2003 14:25:

i dont believe its what program you use to make your tracks..

i think its more how experienced of a trackmaker you are

and how good you can use the program that you do.

in my opinion

reason is too much to handle at first

fruityloops is not a bad piece of software

take ferry corsten for example
he uses fruityloops and his tracks are good arent they?
its not like hes famous or anything

it all comes down to the quality of the user

editing samples, mastering

Posted by tu_face on Jan-24-2003 11:41:

i use reason for nearly everything, including mastering. but the sequencer is a bunch of arse to use, so i put it all together in CEPro. a lot of the effects in CEPro are fantastic if u know how to use them

im also seriously gettin into using steven hawkins as a vocalist too!
