No problem. I hope you'll find what you're looking for. There's a lot of music on here, and elsewhere.
These aren't all hip-hop technically, but maybe you like a few.

Hehe. Well your music is actually quite good. I vouch for you.

We're handed audio and it's our job to make it work, no matter what. I'm currently only interning, but I can already see how important tricks like EQ and Compression are to fixing bad audio in the mix.
I still say that properly recorded sound doesn't need EQ.
True. Work for an audio engineer is never done. Even good recordings can be improved. Still, prevention is better than cure. Also in my experience good recordings are easier to clean than bad ones, you can do much more with them mixing wise and it's much more rewarding. I think good recordings can still use EQing, but avoid overdoing it.

The OP wondered why recently submitted audio immediately gets downloads, and I responded why I thought that was. I suppose it's also my fault the topic got side tracked, because I mentioned 0 bombing when I summarized how the view, vote download system works in my experience. But hey what can you do? To quote Agent Smith "It's inevitable".
You should be happy that he complains about number of download.
I'm always happy as long as others complain.

Zerobombing is of all ages. Complaining even more. Expecting people not to complain about zer bombing is like asking them to stop breathing.
Not a glitch. There's a 'latest' section under audio, where the newest uploaded music is listed. Many people check that out and listen to the most recent songs. Also when the first voter gives you a 5 you automatically end up at the top of your genre's greatest list and you're bound to get some more views and votes. Most often you get zero bombed right away by jealous people who don't want you to be at the top, and your song ends up in purgatory until honest people (or your groupies) find it again and let it climb up. Fascinating stuff this voting system.

Good luck with the game. Let me know when you're done, I'd love to see it.
At 2/17/13 08:08 AM, ATTW7-Envy wrote: Wow. The last one is literally just skipping up a Ionian scale or something with a square?
But the original is actually pretty sweet. Props to you.
Yes, that's basically it. I think if you narrow down a song enough you always end up with something simplistic. Just like physicists try to capture complex natural phenomena in a formula that is as simple as can be.
Also I didn't feel this song should be too complex, to make it easier recognizable for what it is. Like an icon on a traffic sign.
The best solution for avoiding similar frequency instruments drowning each other out is in the composition itself. Have them play different notes, and/or at different frequencies. If they do play the same notes you at least make the octaves different. In my experience a piano has a much wider range than a guitar, so play the mid notes with the guitar and mostly high and low ones with the piano. When both instruments are deliberately on the same frequency you can do some extreme panning. Other people have mentioned eq-ing and I think they're right in what they say, just I think the composition is more important. Eq-ing should complement the composition not counteract it in an attempt to fix problems that shouldnâEUTMt have been there in the first place.
At 2/16/13 09:50 PM, MNWS wrote: Wow, thank you.
But - and I feel really shitty saying this - it doesn't fit exactly what I had in mind, I imagined something a bit simpler like just a one layer 'doo-doo-doooo' sound(I'm sorry if I'm using too many advanced technical terms here).
'doo-doo-doooo' isn't a too advanced term for me.
I made some more versions of the song you can choose from.

even simpler
even simpler without the digital distortion effect

That way, his voice demos can sound big and powerful and present, while still being able to provide a completely dry audio if the project has a dedicated sound engineer.
Okay sounds good. Maybe I'll buy one myself.
At 2/14/13 08:35 PM, big-jonny-13 wrote: Wow, that was really insightful. I did not know any of that. Judging from what you've said, the ATR sounds like the better choice, since this is for home use.
I think so. But don't rely my word alone. Look for "condenser vs dynamic" on youtube and google find more information about the differences between the two. Also try to talk to some of the professionals.
About the Blue Nessie. It looks and sounds good. Keep in mind that it does a lot of the processing for you. This isn't a bad thing since audio processing greatly enhances your audio quality, and you always have to process your vocals sooner or later. If you're working with multiple voice actors this can create a problem, because you'll want a more neutral sound, so all vocals can be processed in the same way so they better fit together.

Yeah... But I can at least leave it with a bang!
Also the walls are very thin and soft so it won't be bad for your health (unless you hit an electricity cable)

You people can come over to my house and punch some holes in the walls if you like. I've already got a new home to move to and my current one will be demolished 22 february.
Are you aware of the fact the ATR2500 is a dynamic microphone and the Samson Meteor is a condensor microphone? There's a significant difference, so be sure of what you want or need.
If you buy the ATR2500 you can not use the pop filter. Dynamic mics are build for close range. Instead you should put a think layer of foam around the mic to prevent popping. ((Old) socks will do just as well) The advantage of recording at close range is you record little to nothing of the environment sound, which is ideal for on stage or at home. I see a lot of people who use a condensor microphone at home because they think their home situation is as ideal a studio which it isn't. A living room or bedroom hasn't got the right acoustics, because of paralel walls. Also there are a lot of noises eg from a computer, heating, traffic or wheather outside, neighbours etc. Often a dynamic microphone is better for home use.
A condensor mic should be used at longer range. If you work in a sound-proof environment with correct accousitcs this is ideal. Because of the longer distance this mic suffers less from pops so you don't need the foam (or socks). If you place the mic in the right angle you won't even need a pop filter. All in all a condensor mic gives you more natural sounding less deformed recordings. The longer range also allows you te record resonance of the chest or head of the speaker which gives a more natural and characteristic sound. A condensor mic aslo picks up more of the room reverb, but beware this may not always be desired. A condensor mic records more of the environment sounds so it's usually not ideal for home use, though there are several ways to counter this, like placing the mic in a soundproof casing.
Before you buy a pop filter you may want to try your microphone to see if you really need it. Also you can create your own pop filters for little to no money.
Also you're looking for a usb mic. That's the cheapest option. But also consider XLR mics, which are more versitile. You'll have to plug it into an audio interface you have to connenct to your computer. All in all it's more expensive, but a nice investment if you want to expand.

Oh no, don't use presets, that's wrong.I said
I strongly recommend not using presets [in synths] so that you'll learn the mechanics of sound design.
Yes I get what you mean. But the OP's question was "Is it legal?" (see topic). And to give a straight answer, "I don't make the rules here, but I think it should not be." For the reasons I've given. Also I think the presets are in the DAWs, synths or whatever to be used, and create new songs with. Of course you learn more by creating your own synth settings, so I agree with you. Also the less your sound is determined by others the more unique your song becomes. Those are all advantages of not using presets, or altering presets as much as you can. But I don't think the use of presets should be "Illegal", which is the question at hand. Composition, playing/singing skills, mixing, mastering etc have a value on their own. Every one has her/his own qualities. You don't have to be a synth wizzard to be a good musician.
