Looking to buy new monitors
General Producer Chat
Hi all
I'm in the market for some new monitors as mine sadly died!
I used to have ADAM F7s, which were brilliant - but they don't make them any more. They've been replaced by T7V's, but i've read they're not as good. So I was wondering what people have in the 4-500 price range? I really don't like Yamaha HS series or the Rokit KRK's (have had both in the past, one too tinny and one too bassy) so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Reverb and Delay
Member Content Requests
Hi
I was wondering if you had any plans for doing a course/content for showing how delay and reverbs work. I feel there's a lot of waffle on online forums, so it would great to have your focused approach to learning to it.

Good breakbeats are always so helpful to have. Most of the time it's the same breaks you hear over and over. Would be good to get something new.
Also good percussion loops and hits. I'm talking bongos. congas, djembes etc. I find a lot of these sounds are often not as good as other samples, and the loops are boring/generic rhythms. Some stuff with real feel and groove would be great.
And vocals! everyone loves good vocal samples to pepper into your track to take it to the next level.
Thanks
Bass Problems
Let us hear you!
Hi Tone
Nice track - good structure, very clear verse/chorus transitions which is good.
I agree with Rob, you have cleaned up the bottom end a fair bit. I would still say the kick is very low in the mix/difficult to hear or feel - essentially it feels lost amongst a sea of reverb. As Rob said, it is very muffled anyway. I suspect you could swap it out for a better sample. The phrase 'you can't polish a turd' comes to mind, in reference to the kick sample

Hi Simon
The bass is actually sounding a lot better and thicker. It also sits a bit better in relation to the element of the track. I would actually say that the horns are not a bit too dominant, they could probably be turned town a tad and sit back in the mix a little more.
It also sounds like you have a sort off slap-bass-guitar bassline one track, and the sub on another, but it seems to be that there's a degree of seperation between the two - a gap in frequencies almost. I think the track would sound more cohesive if you got the balance between your mid-bass and your sub-bass a little better. I'm not sure if what I've said entirely makes sense, so maybe Rob can let us know his thoughts.
Really good effort and an improvement, which is all that matters!

Chilled Breaks track
Let us hear you!
Hey Simon
I agree with Rob, there isn't anything majorly wrong with the track, it just needs some refining.
It sounds to me like some of the high end hi hats loops/ samples used were low quality (although that could be the actual quality that you uploaded) or lacking in sufficient sheen - this does lend the track an oldskool 90's feel, which is great if that's what you're aiming for, but that's what stood out to me.
Love the fat breaks though, very heavy and big sounding, could fill up a stadium with this sort of track.
Omnisphere loading times
DAW or Software Questions
Hi all
I'm sure one or two of you must have Omnisphere - i bought it around 6 months ago.
When i first installed it, it opened very quickly and ran smoothly. Out of the blue the loading times have massively slowed down - talking 10 seconds just to load the plugin itself, and 5-10 seconds for each preset.
Can anyone help me with a fix for this? Nothing else with my computer has changed!
Thanks!

[/quote] Nice one Paddy - this is a stomper! Real good progression across the song as well, builds very nicely. I also appreciate your low-passing of the horn samples - gives it a sleek quality
