24/08: I've decided I'm gonna sell my Fantom X :(
After 2 years with producing I've slowly realized that I'm moving into the vst world. I usually rock both my sounds from the fantom X and my vst's. The past 6 months or so I've been using mostly all my vst sounds plus my custom drum kits library. :(
I think my problem is I know that I'm venturing into this path but dont want to admit to it. Because if I do, then that means I won't have no use for my Fantom X besides the midi controlling capabilites. When I first started out I would used it like it was nothing, sampling, sequencing, and the sound modules that comes with it.
People say the sounds from vst's aren't comparable to the hardware. I disagree because I've owned both and used both sounds. You can do so much more with software. If your the type of person that don't plan on understanding sounds and wants something good from the getgo then hardware is for you. If you are that type of person that always looking to tweak your stuff and likes to explore new areas with sounds then vst is who you'll be. :)
I'm gonna grab a nice midi controller something like the novation 61 key, set everything up in Sonar, get a template going with a nice vst racks of the sounds I need and I'll be good to go. Before I thought that by working with software it would interrupt my workflow, but now I realize It has open my mind to more possibilities and creativity. Its insane what I can come up now then 2 years ago.
The beats, tracks, all the producing, my lyrics has improved tremendously over the past two years because I was open to trying vst's almost %100. :)
I could use my roland fantom X as a midi controller, but it would be sad to do so when I know there are other producers out there that will use it to its full advantage.

15/08: R.I.P Downstairz DAW Station :(
I came back to my studio today to find out that my hard drive went out on me :( All my main beat creation files mostly Reason & Sonar where on that drive. I got all my backup of my drums, samples on a seperate drive. So at least I still have those. But all my beats, tracks, ideas from 2 years ago are gone :( I was so excited to come home today and finish up this beat I made last week.
Anyways enough feeling sorry for myself. I'm going to start fresh. Get a new pc parts and build something quad woot! Setup my workflow right from the start like its suppose to be. :) Maybe this old PC I'll leave it as a backup unit, get bigger hard drives and turn it into a multimedia center or something :) i'm not gonna let something like this get in my way. The time has come and is time for me to move forward.

12/08: Wow some crazy ish
Blows my mind what people are able to come up with!
Check out the project they are doing. Check out what they are trying to remove vocals from the instruments and how they are doing it. Far better processing and method then what most of us are trying. it's deep but damn its worth the read. Talk about trying to create a image from a sound. That's some gansta stuff right there.
Imagine if we had to create a beat from a piece of paper and a #2 pencil, that be insane! draw couple of curves here, extend the line here and there and we got ourself a 4 bar loop woot! Then after we're done with it upload it and we got our music. wow I would never thought for a sec you can do that until Page showed me that link.

I haven't really made beats all that much this month. I've got some serious heat with this new beat :P. Jk its a sample beat. Hopefully when dvs1 and I have a moment we can lay down our vocals and bring some fresh track to you guys soon.

18/07: Arrested for sagging pants
LMFAO! Shouldn't we worry about tracking down crack heads & tweakers? The law has definately dumb it down this time. Its like me saying that it's a nuissance to see people wear red tie. Get the point? Governing what is right with clothing is ridiculous. I've seen worse clothing wear and it doesn't offend me or make me one wanna go stab myself in the eyeballs LOL. I guess it's the law enforcement way to make up for the money they aren't getting I guess. An excuse for covering up their hate is what it is. :) Why don't we have it mandatory that all of us wear size 32 waist pants then? LOL, and people are to believe that this is really important when we can be tracking done rapist and child molestors instead. Whatever.

12/04: Such a Beautiful Day today in Utah!
I decided to go out, wash, and clean my Titan and my SC400. Something to do to get away from the studio. I had to go to 3 different car wash to get my rides completed. It was jam packed! I dont blame the people though. It would be a waste not to go out and ejoy the weather. Overall I didnt do much except enjoy the weather haha have a good day
