Jesse, you have been producing for a long time and I guess, working with many labels. I'd like to have some information about how things proceed with labels; I mean the contacts, contracts, payments, promotions etc. Also, for example, when a label asks me if I like to remix their tracks etc; how do such things proceed? What are the main things we should know before working with labels?

Hello,

Ive just recently started using Logic 7 on a mac, Ive been able to finish two tracks without the use of its Environment, however I understand that the environment is very useful and amongst other things it opens up more options for the user, but I cant seem to figure it out.

I was wondering if there might be a training video of sorts that touchs up on the logic environment, or one that even delves deep into advance uses of the environment. Any help would be greatly apprecated.

so, here is my first big problem with my small synth. I've been using Alesis Photon X25 for about 8 months, there was no problem. But 2 days ago, all of a sudden, I began not to hear the MIDI signals while playing.. There is no problem with the audio, I can use the loops. Also I can hear the midi while playing from the VSTi's interface; but not while playing the keyboard??
Also, there emerged another problem. I have been also using a mic for a long time with the keyboard, and there began a very disturbing harsh sound when I connect it to the keyboard!
And so,
-First I thought there was a problem with VSTis. I checked all of them, there is sound while checking on their interface; but not with the keyboard anymore! Also there is the midi signal, but no sound. The channel routing etc. stuff are all ok as I say I've been using for a long time.
-Then I thought it must be about the driver since I haven't upgraded it before. So I loaded the alesis asio driver back, 2 times, but there is no change!
The problem seems to be about the soundcard, but what; I can't understand. By the way, it is a 24bit on-keyboard card.

Any ideas about what the problem can be and the solution will be appreciated
Oh my God, I need help

If one were to submit files for either mixing or mastering services, what compression, if any, can be used on the source material? What if it's a live instrument and needs levelling? What's the best way to prep files and retain good dynamic range?

Thanks.

Just dropping by to say hello/thank you for the fantastic mastering job you did on my recent track and for the efficient service you provided .Id have no qualms in recommending the service to fellow producers in the future ..
Thanks again

I'm always open to different perspectives, and have a much better ear for other peoples tunes than my own =) so post em up!

Generally it's a lot easier to figure out an issue with a track someone is working on if we can hear it. So post either a link to a file you are hosting or upload an .mp3 (2 megabyte max) using the forums server space so we can take a listen.

Regards,

Jesse

Hey Jesse what's your take on the Novation Remote SL. I'm looking for a new controller to control Live 6 in my dj sets. If you suggest any others out there let me know.

Thanks Man.
