    Sick of the music industry. Jaded? I sure as hell am.

    I feel what you are saying, thing is, you gotta make money somehow and everyone and everything has a price, and if you are into the music business with morals, ethics and hi standards you gonna fuck yourself out of a lot of dollars and eventually be that guy down in the park or in the subway or...

    Pro Tools: 1 bar countoff before recording?

    Kev Brown said," Eff this!"

    Yeah exactly I think it's been that way for awhile, i mean there are tons of artists that will not even think of using anything other than that style of beat though and vice versa, i think themes and content driving production in a lot of ways not saying that's the sole factor, but supply and...

    Whats the use ?

    If you have a purpose, goals and focus then you make music that is acceptable by the masses, the masses won't need someone really that is going to grow on them over time, you need to make music with impact off the break especially if you are shopping music to someone that has orders to make some...

    Comfort Zone

    I wanted to know what is the most comfortable height if you are sitting at your station producing, I noticed that anything too high is a pain but an adjustable chair helps, some desks I have seen are too high, does this effect your ability to produce comfortably or have you had to deal with this...
