i haven't compressed most all them tracks... usually might eq the snare or HH, but i always eq the kick lol
imma find some good appz, ya know any for editing, eq, and all that? i only have FL7
yea, I'm using windows...so...Reason 3.0 (dope for making beats) FL7....Audition 3.0 for mixing vocals, and EQ'ing beats, I've also used cubase sx, for mixing and mastering but im too busy to do it allllll myself anymore, it takes up way too much of my life as it is.....I've heard ableton Live is pretty good too, if you run a mac...pro tools, or logic...or both reason is mac compatible too, and so is audition too i believe...i might be wrong im not the mac friendly producer that my DJ is....They get pricey, but they're all more than worth it.
also to the guy who says i dont know what i'm talking about, I personally don't like the digital sounds...the scratches sound too synthetic, if you do the electronica scene its cool, cuz you don't notice it much, for the other billion genre's out there, it doesn't have much benefit, the real problem is it's too precise, analog is better in the sense that it still has the pauses, and crackles, and warm wonderful sound, whereas digital you have flat sharp precision scratches...like i said... for dj'ing weddings and prom night, or putting on a dope rave, sure CDJ's are cool, but give me old crackly grandpa analog anyday.....
