    Your Setup (Hardware Headz) 5 points

    We always talk about our setups, for software users it's pretty much laid out in a nice console to do everything in one place, however, if you have at least a sequencer/sampler (mpc, mv8000, spXX or whatever) and at least one keyboard workstation as outboard gear, there are a lot of things to...

    Selling Beats On The Come Up

    Oh BTw these articles are really, really good , props to Fade and the staff, I like them because they are relevant to the game especially producers that actually have artists or contact with the local scene, you gotta think about your own goals and strategies, not what someone else may perceive...

    Yes, go back check the threads, I have dropped this exact science on more than a few ocassions but cats were not hearing me, been selling beats out in my area since around 99 and probably have made more than 10 g's easily off small time mixtapes, good to see an actual articl about it and the...

    Artists who use Live - A list of artists who use Ableton Live

    I have used it , have it and shelved it, I still dont get the hoopla about the DAW, especially if it doesnt really standout too far above the sea of DAW's out there, it's a preference I gues and yeah these artist really don't stick out in my head and if they use it how much of it is used for...

    R.i.p. The Notorious B.i.g.

    Yep! no doubt I stay stuck on that not only for the music but the many, many memories of that time, check out the homie Chucky Thompson in my top friends on myspace he was one of Puffy's hitmen the producers at Bad Boy behind many of those joints.

    R.i.p. The Notorious B.i.g.

    Crazy, I can still remember being up late at night and hearing it on the TV as a sidenote and I was like what did they just say ?and then my phone was ringing off the hook with the sad news! R.I.P. B.I.G.

    MPC vs Roland...my two cents

    word I feel you, I do know what you are talking about, like putting the pattern down even on the 1000 its pretty much going to stick out of the box, and like most of the other ones out of the box its tweaked to like 96% 53%(makes it so you can add a lil bounce to the joint)the default swing and...

    MPC vs Roland...my two cents

    Being the straight hardware fiend I am I, started out on the EMU SP12, then the SP1200, had a MPC 2000(with all of the options close to xl), until i had to sell it, had a 3000 until it started dying LOL then got a 1000 as filler while deciding whether to get a 4000 or the MV, akai is a beast...

    Shock of the new

    Yeah Rigor I sort of thought of that too, I mean I say we sample his shit and send him the links.

    Shock of the new

    Hey I read it and you know what, everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to it...I mean with the musical background he has of hours of study, hours of seriously writing music, it's hard to even begin to think that he can respect the artistry of hip hop, but we've seen it time and time...

    rs7000

    I had one a loooong time back maybe 4 or 6 years and the answer is NO...it samples so why do you need some more sounds ? you can also use the filters to create new sounds like on a synth, resample it etc...

    I think im an undercover R&B producer

    Exactly, you have to remember that the Hitmen were heavy into that album as well as Chucky Thompson who had a hand in some of the hottest Mary J joints, at the time after they did all the Biggie and Bad boy production for Puffy, I think that was a big influence on just straight hip hop really...

    I think im an undercover R&B producer

    Work on aggressive straight drum tracks, with gritty kick and snare or break loops.....then choose samples that are not smooth, look for melodies that might be minor, I dunno but that last joint in the showcase to me was hip hop, main thing is try and not focus on the overall musicality...most...

    Lets talk SOUND: MPC vs Roland

    I know its been said b4, but anyhow I owned the 3000 for a good period of time and I have the mv right now, 2 of the beats in the showcase or on my link I did on the mv, but its how you process....eq and fx etc....with the 3000 you need good outboard setup or do it on a digital mixer or protools...

    Just Blaze in the studio for Fab

    I never said that it was any better, if anything its less perfect than what someone would cut on a vinyl record back then. looks like they did this really quick so its just not that impressive as its been made I grew up around funk bands and musicians don't minimize my opinion because of that I...
