my tips are :
for crazy stuff, dig reaktor you can get very original sounds.
if you have the money get a virus ti, its just good for any kind of elec. music..
if you have the time, get a nord g2.
for all macbook users. if your main daw is on a pc, get a cheap usb\fire wire soundcard with midi, and connect it to your pc with midi and audio, just like a synth, and you can enjoy logic's 8 amazing synths and tools.
side chain pads with you kick, its rally "pumping" the track.
use spectrum analyzer on the master, and than just solo the channel you want to see..
check the built in midi channel's effect (sx3) they do nice job.
even if you have the cpu power to give each channel its own fx, there are times that groups sounds much better, for example, a reverb for you percussion .
compress your percusion together to "stick" them in the mix.
if you are reading this thread, write your own tips and tricks, its a good refresh, and help you remeber some stuff you forgot

My tip of the day is : percussion layering
try to add a samba bass drum (with tambourine of course) to your traditionnal sine kick, or mixing old disco snares with claps, white noise or whatever. Every percussive sound works.
don't forget to compress, it sticks your layered sounds together
other tip : Try to put big room reverbs with a lot of predelay on your snares, then compress and reverb normally. great moving effect
last tip : create breaks with completely FX-fucked up kick and bass, like with distorsion, phaser,etc

My tip of the day : avoid excessive use of the "loop" function of the sequencer.
I think it gives me better ideas when I build the track straight in arrange mode with automation instead of working in loop mode.
Thanks to Bill "Cosmosis" for this tip that helps me cure my awfull loopitis disease... |

Automate, Automate, Automate.
I use db Pro Delay and db Pro Delay Lite and have found if you Automate the Delay or Measure, you can get great glitch like effects on the tails of the delay. The Automation can also get you a gated delay like effect at times too.
If ur not sure what I mean I can post a sample....
Hope this helps someone,
Vic |

Tip of the day:
Make a default project template to avoid routine when starting a new track. Don't forget to name your tracks relevantly (and adjust colors of the tracks, if your daw supports that, makes navigation very easy and intuitive)
For example, my default template looks like that (group tracks are UPPERCASE):
KICK+BASS
kick (NI Battery)
bass (with sidechain compressor, triggered by the kick track)
DRUMS
hihatscymbals
snaresclaps
percussion_1
percussion_2
(all tracks in drum group are plugged with NI Battery)
LEADS
lead_1
lead_2
lead_3
PADS
pad_1
pad_2
pad_3
FX
fx_1
fx_2
fx_3
DRUM REVERB (DRUMS track is routed here)
LONG REVERB
SHORT REVERB

Maybe the following info will be useful for someone.
I experienced a weird problem:
When one of my HDD's is accessed (read or write) the whole system is getting extremely slow. I thought it were bad blocks or something, but the solution was quite simple and unexpectable: after changing the SATA cable everything is working fine

In Cubase, when you rename a track and hit Enter while holding Shift all the parts and events on the track will rename also! hehe

hihi thanks!
just discovered strg+d instead of strg+c & strg+v for copy paste^^

To achieve the same result of CTRL+D you can use the pen tool while pushing the ALT key in the lower corner of the midi clip. (CUBASE)
