SP-FORUMS

I love STLNDRMS, I watch his videos non stop. I know he does everything in his mpc and uses the 404's for their FX. But every single track uses side chain compression. Or, a trick of some sort to get that same ducking with the kick drum. I've used compression on the 404sx. I honestly hate the way it ...

Cant use all the effects
can't reverse
1 voice polyphony

So its worth purchasing a 2mb card for 60 bucks?

I'm finding myself using the 202 alittle more than i was before. I filled two pads up with a 4 bar loop each. I tried recording another 4 bar loop on pad 3, and it cut the recording off in the middle of it. Assuming I ran out of space. I've found a sd card on ebay, but they go for like 50 - 60 bucks ...

I've got both of these, and a 202. Trying to figure out how to use two 404's together. Are you sequencing on one and recording full tracks into the other? or resampling each machine?

the sx doesnt have any internal memory as far as i know, so its all on the sd card it came with. the samples that you put on there will be there unless you delete them manually on the sp. OR you can put the sd card in a computer and transfer whatever samples/drums/beats.. but serious warning ...

Back in the day when I first started producing, there was a peer2peer program called Soulseek. I would put all of my music in a "craveone" folder for anyone to download. I would also tag my myspace page in the mp3's, along with an email address for contacts. Not sure if your giving away your music ...

The way I've done it is to save my back up twice on 2 different pads (a1 and a2 for example) then load the second one and clear it. I always did it this way because idk if it's possible to load a new blank set of banks. There could be a simpler way but this is just how I always did it, hope that ...

I've been messing with this sample for a few hours. And, its actually my first attempt at using a 404sx. I cannot get my samples to sound as clean and crisp as you all have em.. Some nice tracks so far for this one....

sorry to bring up an old topic. I have been trying to figure this out as well. Everytime I power on the sp404sx everything I have been working on loads. I'm almost out of pads.. I've read the manual numerous times, and I think I understand now.. Let me know if I'm wrong. I can use all 12 pads, in ...

I just found in the manual that you can delete all samples. I'm curious if this deletes all samples from a sample bank saved to a sd card, or just within the sp404sx memory. I have samples saved to a bank on the sd card. And when I power on the unit, all the samples and sequences I was working on in ...

So I have my sp404sx that came with the software disc. I run windows 10. And this software does not work with windows 10. Is there a work around?


nevermind, just found it*****

LOL... I think your right about this one...

I really don't like /r/lofihiphop, its all self promo with no discussion. Whats up with all the anime too?

some subreddits that I do like are

Lots of useful tips and questions about the craft of beat making and sound design/tech

I ended up unsubscribing from lofihiphop cause it was mostly people just sharing their beats and asking for feedback. (and no one really giving feedback)
I prefer ...
