That shit could come from anything, but it sounds alot like the one from a Proteus 2000 I used to have, or a Nord - I know that's Rick's secret weapon.

I know his bass sounds come from this old sound module. It looks like it came out when MIDI first hit the scene. Thats old. I know he has a mo phatt (or planet phatt I cant remember) and I did see a proteus in his rack. He has an mpc and karma (when I was at the compound he played from the karma) so it could be from that. Do you have a specific song in mind?


He can make slaps but he has the WEIRDEST stuio set up I've come across. You'd have to see it to know what I'm talking about.

Yes I can describe it because I've been to the spot. Why would you ask a question like that?

1. I've ***NEVER*** saw someone monitor from PA SPEAKERS yes they are mackie speakers but pa?!?!? Not only that but the speakers weren't even placed in the proper position.


2. He has a pro tools rig (digi 001) and still uses ADATS (had to of them hooked up with the remote control thing a ma jig) :confused:


3.WHERE the gear is positioned. He has the console and to the right of that is rack gear. Basically it's not a symetrical set up.


4. They use the closet for Vox but he should gut the closet and bring it out more. He could do that with sheet rock, thermafiber and the proper screws. It's impossible to get inside the closet and close the doors.

He has a nice size room but you would think it would be more to it considering WHO he is and WHO he has done music for. At least thats what I thought.

btw Mark where you at the record release parties?

^^^^ I agree but when I saw the setup the mackie speakers were the ones that killed it for me.


He also has a drum set that he's using but I didnt see any mics for it. If I were him I would keep the soundcraft console, ditch the 001 and go 002 or hd.

If I were him I wouldn't do shit, he's obviously doing something right. Don't matter if he was using computer speakers, and a casio.

He's getting super bread.

^^^ NO SHELVES AND HE *WILL* BE UPGRADING SOON.



HE ISNT A GEAR SLUT/JUNKIE AND DOESNT KNOW MUCH ABOUT EQUIPMENT. IF HE PLANS ON USING THAT DRUM SET HE *MUST* CHANGE HIS SET UP. IT'S A REQUIREMENT. MORE MICS, A ROOM FOR THE DRUMS YADA YADA YADA. IF HE PLANS ON OPENING TO THE PUBLIC (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) HE WOULD HAVE TO REVAMP HIS SET UP. SO WITH HIM MIXING AT INFINITE (WITH MIKE DENTON AS ENGINEER) WHY WOULD HE NEED ANOTHER PAIR OF MONITORS? HE WOULDN'T, BUT HE WOULD SAVE "SUPER BREAD" BY GETTING HIS SET UP RIGHT AND BYPASSING INFINITE.

^^^^ shut the hell up.


1. I'm speaking from experience. That experience being a studio owner, composer, engineer, I've been paid $$$$$ to mix at TWO of the bay areas LARGEST studios. Both with ssl and neve consoles. PRARIE SUN and SOUNDWORKS.


2. I know the man and when he tells ME "I don't know about that shit, YOU know more than I do" I have a right to speak on it.


3. I have a a BLOOD RELATIVE in the Federation. You call him GOLDIE GOLD I call him ANTHONY.


4. I have been to his spot and that is NOT the ideal set up if you would want to charge by the HOUR.


5. I have done TROUBLE SHOOTING for his system when it kept crashing. Gave him the panther OS *AND* the 32 track version of PRO TOOLS




please refrain from dumb shit you idiot....

Oh yeah I was the one who sold them MY hard disk recorder so they could do the KINSMOKE mix tape. Not to mention I was the one who loaned them SEVERAL mics.


PLEASE...ONCE AGAIN....SHUT THE FUCK UP.


YOU TALK ABOUT "WHATS BEST" BUT IF HE DOESNT HAVE DRUM MICS HOW WILL HE BE ABLE TO USE HIS DRUMS? PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT ONE EINSTEIN AND AFTER YOU DO, EXPLAIN HOW TO MIC A DRUM KIT AND WHERE TO SPREAD THE TOMS. I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR ADVICE.....



:HGK:

PS MY STUDIO CONSISTS OF 4 KEYBOARD WORKSTATIONS, 8 MODULES, 3 PAIRS OF MONITORS, 2 GUITARS, A BASS AND SONE OTHER SHIT I DON'T FEEL LIKE LISTING. I JUST GOT A CALL TO SCORE A DOCUMENTARY ON SOME ***NBA*** SHIT. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE AND WHAT DO YOU OWN? NADA...NADA...NADA....

You know, thats a good list you made there, and Im glad you felt like you had to prove something to me by bragging on some shit i could give a fuck about, because guess what, you still aint Rick Roc and you aint making hits like him. Sounds like you gettin angry because I dont know who you are, or how you know Ric. So you felt you had to compile a resume of things in TWO seperate posts to show me, the insignifigant little nothing who has done nothing in the game, right? Its a little pathetic homie. Just cling to them nutts and keep servicing his equipment, ok little buddy.

I didn't make the list to brag or prove anything to you. It was to shut your ass which you obviously didn't. By the way you missed a couple of questions....so next time you say what is or isn't comedy make sure you know what the fuck your talking about.


1. I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT BEING RICK ROCK *OR* RICK ROCK. THIS IS BETWEEN *YOU* AND ME. YOU MADE A THREAD I RESPONDED AND EVEN ASKED YOU TO NAME AN EXAMPLE SO I COULD ASK HIM FOR YOU. WHAT DO YOU DO? MAKE AN IDIOTIC POST AND MENTION "COMEDY"

2. I DON'T *NEED* TO MAKE HITS LIKE HIM. I'LL MAKE HITS ON MY OWN WITH MY OWN STYLE. BTW WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN ON WITHIN THE LAST YEAR? I CAN FIRE OFF AT LEAST 3 PROJECTS (2 MAJOR, 1 INDIE MAJOR) I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH AND RECEIVED PAYMENT FOR. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? NADA...


3.I GAVE TWO SEPERATE POSTS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO EDIT THE FIRST ONE AGAIN.


4. YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING.


5. HOW AM I CLINGING TO NUTTS WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW WHAT ORGAN RICK ROCK USES....LOL!!!!!!! DO A SEARCH ON "FEDERATION" AND SEE WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE ALBUM. AFTER THAT CHECK YOURSELF.


6. I'LL SERVICE *ANYONES* EQUIPMENT IF THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CASH. I'LL SERVICE THE EQUIPMENT OF A PLATINUM PRODUCER *ANYTIME*. WHY? BECAUSE I HAVE THE SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE TO DO SO. DO YOU? OF COURSE NOT.


YOU DON'T KNOW ****BASIC**** MIDI, CONFUSE IT WITH LATENCY AND CAN'T EVEN HOOK A MICROKORG UP......LMAO!!!!


http://www.siccness.net/vb/showthread.php?t=119413 <--COMEDY


7. A LOT OF PEOPLE *DON'T* KNOW ME. A LOT OF PEOPLE *DO* KNOW ME AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ***PAY*** ME. WHO PAYS YOU?

WITH THAT BEING SAID WHO IS IN A BETTER POSITION TO "ACT LIKE THEY KNOW WHATS BEST FOR RICK ROCK"? YOU A PERSON WHO CAN'T EVEN FIDDLE WITH A MICRO KORG? OR ME A PERSON WHO ACTUALLY DOES THIS SHIT, HAS MORE TECH KNOWLEDGE THAN THE PERSON IN QUESTION AND STUDIO OWNER?




:HGK:


PS THIS IS NOT ABOUT RICK ROCK. IT'S ABOUT HOW YOU CAME SIDEWAYS.

Here you go with the lists again. Its obvious I touched a nerve with you, gettin all sensitive and shit, because, yes, even still, it is comedy that you still think you know whats best for Ric Rock no matter how much you know or what you know of him and his music. And whats even funnier is that youre still trying to retaliate by telling me what you know about the music and what I dont know about it. Thats fine and dandy, I know I dont know shit about production so why you trying to point it out? If you was real about yours you wouldnt feel the need to defend your self from some who has "done nothing." And you want to talk about nutt clinging, you the one all up on my microkorg post, hotlinking that shit in your own.

But for real though, this is some stupid bullshit. I dont come to this forum to argue, I come to get laced on some music shit and ask questions, no matter how simple minded they may seem to you. Look dude, if I came at you sideways, you came back at me sideways. Lets just stop bullshittin and be productive.

I'm not defending myself against you because like I said YOU don't know what you're talking about and when the man DOES decide to upgrade guess who he'll most likely speak to? Me not you.


How can you logically say who knows XYZ? Common sense would tell you that if the man has DRUMS (which REQUIRE at LEAST 5 mics) he MUST upgrade. WHY? he doesnt have drum mics, in fact he doesnt even have 5 mics. Common sense would tell you if he wants to use his drum set he should change the equipment placement in his room. Why? Drums should be in a TUNED room (if possible) and isolated from everything else to prevent BLEED and LEAKAGE. Common sense would tell you ADATS are basically phased out (meanign they are no longer supported) and a waste of time when compared to a proper working DAW.


I'm pointing out your LACK of knowledge because you are questioning ME. Who are YOU to say whats comedy or not when YOU don't know anything AND the man in question (rick rock) has come to ME for advice?


Yes I hot linked it to prove a point. You accuse someone of nutt riding, yet you make threads asking about the mans music. Do you think I give a damn about what organ he uses? Hell I have access to over 300 organs in my xp-60 alone.


Last but not least I know EXACTLY how much Denton charges at Infinite studios and it aint cheap. With the money spent on mix downs Rick could EASILY revamp his studio, get an in house engineer (sort of like how E-40 does at orange room), and NEVER have to go outside of his lab to mix.

Thats saving TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. If not he can keep going to Denton and paying TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to mix EACH album....are you getting the picture here? If not let me put it to you in simplist terms.

UPGRADE=cutting everyone else out of your pocket.

NO UPGRADE=outside studios taking money from you, when you can easily buy the equipment and run it yourself.

With that being said he would no longer need a recording budget from Virgin/montbello as everything is IN HOUSE.


Are you starting to understand now?
