A Hard Day's Night

A great tutorial on Compression from over at audiotuts.com
Great for those of you out there who seek to understand compression a little better. Got keep those mixes sounding on point!

Here's a Preview:

How Set Up a Compressor

1. Whether you’re using a hardware compressor or a plug-in, setting up works the same way. Insert the compressor on the channel you want to compress.

2. Adjust the threshold until the peaks in the signal are pushing over the threshold and triggering the compressor. Unless, of course, you really want to clamp something—like a live bass maybe—in this case it can work to make it push over the threshold all the time.

3. Set the Ratio to suit the material. Bass guitars sound good at 4:1, drums at 2:1, vocals also at 2:1 and electric guitars anywhere from 2:1 to 6:1.

I actually fuond this on Maestro's Blog. It's a video Just Blaze sharing some helpful hints in Logic. He talks about how to quickly map samples to your keyboard. Pretty neat and interesting even though I don't use Logic...yet.

Stay Tuned for More Treats!

How good was the recently-passed PRO-IP Act, the bill that pumped up intellectual property enforcement and created an executive branch "copyright czar" even though the executive branch didn't want this and thought it was a bad idea? So good that the bill alone can shore up President Bush's legacy after years of war, Katrina, wiretapping, and economic collapse. In other words, lawmakers busted out a fresh jar of Awesome and slathered it all over the PRO-IP Act, which President Bush—no doubt thinking of his legacy—signed into law Monday.

For Those who may not yet know, today we lost a true legend and pioneer of not only American soul music, but music in general. Isaac Hayes was found dead lying near a treadmill this afternoon. He was 65 years old. He will be dearly missed and always remembered as one of the greatest of all time. Rest in Peace.

*On the Chris Brown Acapella, try running it through a high pass filter in order to cut the lows out and make a lil cleaner. Thats what I did and it sounded fine with the beat.

Enjoy!

Wsup everyone?? After quite a long time of no new remixes, I finally found time to sit down and put something together. It's pretty interesting how this one came about. I had actually started working on a beat with no intention of putting any vocals over it. I was actually going to just sell it. Anyway, I was about halfway done with the track, when I pulled up my acapella collection where I just happened to have Chris Brown's "Forever". So I played it along with the beat that I was working on, and to my surprise, I found that it was in the same key as Chris Brown's original so it really fit like a glove! Everything was on pitch and everything. (If you're wondering, the original song is in the key of B. Major.) So from there, I just finished the beat around his vocals.

I'm really happy with the end result. It turned out pretty nice. I synced it with the music video and uploaded it to Youtube. You can watch the video below.

Listen for the drum breakdown that starts at about 3:04. That's my favorite part.

For those of you who don't already know, there is a remix of Jesse McCartney's single, Leavin', in circulation around the internet and on Limewire. The remix is labelled, Jesse McCartney - "Leavin" (Cam'rox Remix) 2008. It's produced by me. I basically had gotten the acapella version (solo'd vocal track) of the song and made a completely new beat around it. I then put it on the internet and watched it slowly gain popularity among the many Jesse McCartney fans around the net. I'm very grateful for all those who have supported it by listening to it or downloading it, as it gives me more reason to share my music with the world. :) Thanks for all the support!
