RIZ Records · 4th February 2006

Thanks guys for the advice. Actually i really do care about the sequencer as its goign to play a major part in my sound. Also i dont sample. Im not saying there's anything wrong with it but at this point im trying to fully compose my beats and get paid. Does the mpc 60 really give a lo-fi type of "effect" sound on drums? I plan to start with clean clear drum samples in the first place but id like some nice colour to my drums. I kinda like the clean vintage sound. Not too clean but not too dirty. Some attitude. I should also state that im most likely going to be using an Aurora Audio GTQ2mk3 DI Pre/EQ, and stereo distressors. Which box would compliment the outboard gear more? I just dont want the sequencer to sound too stiff. Also like my drums pretty open, not muddy and closed.

Thx!
