Home Studio Tips

I found this video which offers a quick overview of the new Magix Music Maker 16. The video covers some of the new features that are included. I am looking forward to giving Magix Music Maker 16 a try, just have to find the time.

I found this tutorial which explains using XLN Audio Addictive Drums in Pro Tools and some of the features Audictive Drums has to offer. Check it out!

In the past I have been using a Boss Dr 770 for all of my drum parts. The kick and the snare are great but everything else sounds pretty bad. So, lately I've been toying with getting one of these sweet drum programs, but I can't decide if I should go with EZdrummer or Addictive Drums. I've tried the demos of both and they both seem like they'd do the trick.

Has anyone tried both of these or use one of them regularly that could give me some input on which direction I should go? I record many genres of music such as acoustic, rock, hard rock, funk, metal and even techno.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Antares Auto Tune tutorial. Jeff Dykhouse shows us how to use MIDI to tell Auto-Tune which notes to tune. In addition, you can use this technique to create harmonies.

This is a quick little video that explains Fxpansion Guru and how everything works.
