wordup y'all. its ya boi BoyGenius. U know how i do, if u dont, best u find out, & best believe.
Yeah wats kickin... thot id shed lite on my setup & how i cook em beats.
At the core of my studio is an Intel P4 Motherboard with an intel processor running at 2.8GHz, overclocked gets to 3000MHz. Memory specs a bit low, too embarrased to say(512MB). Runnin XP Pro SP2.
To get the sound we use Rode NT-1 (i agree wit D-Planet, best mic at that range), onborad preAmp on the Behringer mixer, then runnin into an M-Audio Audiophile 2496, which kicks it straight into ProTools MP7.
But hey, wat is vocals without the beat. Reason 3 and Cubase SX 2 (with Hypersonic) got us on lock there. The occasional Fruityloops6 helps wont hurt. Plugs is the Waves Platinum(no i didnt buy it), and for loudness we kick it with Ozone.
Mixing is either on the cans, where we burn our ears with em Fostex T50RPs. Monitors we do on KRK RP5(too much ba** though, aint feelin em).
All thats left now is marketing and distribution, u will know when thats done when the CD's are in stores and the music on radio and vidz on TV.
Much Luv. Lets elevate this game. We need quality from the indepedents.
