Question by almostblacksky: Anyone know a Pittsburgh area home music studio tutor/helper?
I’m a serious lifelong musician that just bought a very good offline computer for Cubase/Fruityloops/Reason digital recording, and I have a keyboard, guitars, microphones etc…I have all the gear I need to get started, except my weakness is i am NOT AT ALL educated on the technical recording stuff, as in I don’t know how to set up all my gear, and after it’s set up correctly, I could use some pointers on what some of the features are on my Cubase software. I’m a smart guy so I’d be a fast learner if someone could explain some of this information to me in everyday language, but the manuals for my equipment are so jargon-filled that I get frustrated and lose focus.
I’d be willing to pay a Pittsburgh-area person with top-notch expertise on home recording, if he/she would be willing to help set my studio up correctly, and then educate me on how to use my gear. But I can’t find a soul around here. Anyone know anybody? I got the music skills, just not the technical savvy. please help!
Best answer:
Answer by Lauretta R I know this does not answer your question directly but hopefully it helps. I would suggest calling Pittsburgh Film Makers. I know that you are not doing film but they might be able to direct you in the right direction. You might also want to contact CMU. Here is a link to a student’s (I think) web-site that uses Cubase.
Before the TWT PGH/BLAKKOUT party jumped off, fellow Producer and creator/host of the online music series "Sunday Night Showcase" at reppghhiphop.com, Beat Supreme, caught footage of me working on a track that I plan on being the next big Pittsburgh collabo track. The track is far from finished, but, this is footage of me laying out the blueprint to it.
Its the 400 Subscription beat. Yall know how it go… I make a free download track for every 100 youtube subscriptions I get. This one is a lil’ late but hopefully worth the wait. I appreciate the love and comments on my vids! This time I craft an original track around the acappella hook of Rihanna’s new joint. Check it out! Wont be long before the 500 subs beat! THANX AGAIN FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!
After the 1st session was over, someone suggested we create a new song… Everybody was in… the only missing ingredient now is a beat… WELL… I happen to be a producer… So… LETS GET IT!!!
Once again its on! Summer 2009 and I got another heater. This time around its Ladies Choice. I got a good friend of mine in the studio who tells me what she likes in a beat and I create it according to what she tells me to use. Sounds interesting huh? Well, check it out!
