Music production

Hey any music producing people in here?
just have some questions let he know if its ok to ask. Thanks!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

There's quite a few. Ask away.

Ok first question its this package good?
http://m.guitarcenter.com/Item/Default.aspx?itemno=1394721&urx=1
I play instruments but never produced music. So if you were starting would this be good to start with? Thanks I need some guidance

The reviews seem okay, but not overwhelming. If you already play then I'd suggest just getting hold of some software and a decent sound card to do some home recording. That way you can at least see if you want to take it further before shelling out on something expensive.

I reckon you can spec a decent setup for cheaper than that. Even after buying that package you need multitrack software which isn't cheap.
Personally I'd recommend protools but that's just me. If you haven't used one before then none of them are that user friendly to begin with.
Sonar or Cubase may be easier to start off with.
Think about what you really need to start with and not what the package suggests you need.

Yes sorry.

Pc specs are fine.
If you have that package en route then all you really need is some kind of multitrack software as I mentioned.
I'd be very surprised if your audio interface doesn't come with either a demo of something or a very basic stripped down recording suite.
If you plan on recording more than one thing at once then you may want to throw a mixer into the equation...

^^^ This.
As Conan said earlier, Cubase is a good one. Acid is also good. It's loop-based but you don't have to use it that way and it's simple to pick up - probably more-so than most.
Incidentally, your PC specs make mine look ancient, and I've had around 30 sample channels running on Acid without any stutter, so you've got nothing to worry about there.

I used to run pro tools and reason on an eight year old Toshiba Lappy with a ****ty celeron CPU and 700 Megs of ram....
It wasn't pretty but it worked.
Just goes to show you.....

Thread hijacking here, but at least on topic somewhat.
Did you try Caustic, from the Market? I remember telling you about it but don't remember if you did or not.

I did try it briefly. It was pretty good. Its on my list of apps to get once I have a Tablet.

So what program should I use something thats easy but yet good?

Also any one know how I can add drum sounds and sounds into the programs. Thanks again
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

i'm-you can call me-a room music producer
i record my own music just using common things:
- a Laptop
- Reason software : for drum & bass
- Guitar + Amp
- Guitar effect (zoom)
- GuitarPro (for uhhh.. patterning my music )
- headphone + common mic
so far so good

Like I said before, I find Sony Acid very good for recording and mixing, and it's probably the easiest studio style app I've ever used. For drums I'll always suggest Fruity Loops, and it's very versatile too, being able to add VST plugins so being anything you need it to be, not just a drum machine.

Thanks guys anything else you suggest I should know. Any Miami people??

If you're more of a "real" musician and not so much a keyboard bashing sequencer freak then I'd recommend getting yourself an actual hardware groovebox/drum machine.

Nexus 7 - Package contents, pictures and first impressions

Hey guys,
As the title says, this topic is just for all of you out there who already received our beloved tablet.
Please post pictures of your Nexus 7 in action, the package contents and a mini review and/or first impressions of it.
Cheers!

Mine arrived, order Thursday at 15:30 arrived Friday 09:30 from eBuyer.
I sold a Nook Tablet to purchase this, so I allready like the 7" factor, but Chrome is amazing on this, really great browsing experience.
Google Now does not seem to work very well in the UK yet or show anything useful without voice.
Got my £15 free Play credit instantly, but no sign of the Transformers Movie on my 16GB version.

i like that.. but applied ur screen protector yet? or any case to go along?

Forgot to mention the Serial number peels of the back stupidly easily, I thought it was a sticky plastic cover, but no the whole serial number peels off, So I stuck it to the plastic film and put it back in the box.

So, can anyone confirm the audio quality via 3.5mm jack? Is it as bad as what some are saying?

I'm not a great judge, using some cheap Sennheiser headphones, and its not amazing.
I need to have it on the maximum volume to hear it, its very quiet and the quality is not great.
Not amazing.

Shame. I was all set to buy one, but since I'll primarily be using it for watching films and listening to music using headphones, that's a bit of a deal breaker.

Yeah, that's pretty disappointing. I wasn't too bothered about the external speakers but I was expecting half decent headphone audio quality. Ah well, guess I'm not gonna buy one now.

Wait for the custom ROM's. I am sure they will improve that sound volume.

I have mine... a little smaller than I expected, but still a great size for typing etc
Some apps have problems with the tablet mode though. I can see why they went for the phone layout, the tablet mode when vertical is too small to use. As for smoothness, the launcher and system ui in general is much improved, but there is no difference in third party apps. Touch sensitivity and response is incredible, however. They may have to be updated, Im not too sure. The screen is also a little washed out.
However, I still love it and can't wait to spend the rest of the day on it xD yay!

Its the quality I'm more concerned about I'm afraid and no amount of custom ROMs or DSP enhancement will overcome poor signal to noise unfortunately.
Meh, I might still give one a demo in store, I've got a selection of headphones - maybe it will sound ok on some of them.

Didn't hear anything about audio problems before, hope it won't be that bad though, did you try any other headphones?

Same here!
The audio review on "The Verge" site is actually pretty decent (8 out of 10).

[Q] Picture of included headphones

Does any one know what they will look like? do they include beats headphones? or are they even included with htc one

I don't think there's any pics up yet. You might want to search you tube for an unboxing. I see a few where they show the head phones.
They are regular HTC. But newer style. They're bullet style now with red ear plugs.

I guess you're the one that doesn't understand.
I was talking about the controls, they won't work (beside volume), that's why I referred to Bluetooth devices. When you have a Bluetooth device all the controls will work as supposed.
Ask yourself why they wouldn't work on the Sony? Never heard of a pair of headphones not working on a specific device, they would only cut their own fingers....
Guess you don't really need help.

Klipsch announced new "Image S4-II" update version of previous S4.
S4-II present flat cabling for added strength and tangle
resistance, a more streamlined shape and overall improvements in product durability. S4-II model produces the same award-winning sound signature through an 8.5 mm dual-magnet
micro-speaker. This technology covers a wide frequency range and delivers dynamic detail for the
most strikingly realistic sound reproductions of music libraries​
More info:
My feedback:
If you have any good experience with the sound and your want quality for a good amount (120$), I would definitely recommend it THIS
Regards.

Rock it sounds R50 are the best bang for buck you are going to get at that price point, they are a little bit higher (120$) but well worth the price.http://rockitsounds.com/shop/product/?prod_id=16

I am not concerned about controls. Only want to know would they be compatible.
I tried my old Xperia Arc Headphones with Z and error was showing not compatible. I recall reading somewhere that this is due to polarity/charge.

op..also check out the soundMAGIC E10m.. About half the price of the s4aii but from reviews sounds alot better
It has also won awards from what!hifi

Each TV brand has different frequency. That's why you have to select the correct one. The ones in the bar I was at were all Panasonic, and Panasonic hasn't changed much, so the first one Quick Remote tried, worked. Some like RCA have made so many TVs that they have a lot of sets. So if the first set doesn't work, you have click "No" and it will go on to the next. The 3rd set finally worked for RCA.
I have to say, Quick Remote is waaaaay better than WatchOn. Many more options, and much quicker response. Feels like an actual remote instead of a phony. Only downside is you don't get a TV listing. Oh well.
Edit: The RF is on the back of the device, so make sure you have the back of the device pointed towards the TV. This is unlike most remotes (and the S4) where its on the top.

is there an app that gives you the tv listings and will act as a remote?
thanks
