    MPC and PC don't get on!

    do you FINISH your beats?

    I don't finish a beat until after someone rhymes over it. Otherwise, you do a ton of work which you might have to re-sequence later. So I do a couple of sequences and put finishing touches on the end.

    Kanye West as MC...... not bad, but.....

    I think Kanye is a dope producer and although he isn't the best lyricist - I like his style and what he says.

    accidental beats

    I might know what I want it to sound like beforehand but what I end up with is completely different. Its like fitting pieces of a puzzle together. Sometimes somthing you thought would work - doesn't - so you have to go with plan B.

    gettin faster

    If I didn't have to work, I'd be able to make a couple of beats a day. The difference is now I use my production time more efficiently.

    drum kit advice from bangingbeats

    I bought a few kits from bangin' beats. Personally I didn't think they were that great. I sample my own or use preset kits from the Triton.

    When buying Records to sample...

    When I do get the chance to preview a record before buying it, I make sure to listen to at least the intro. I find 95% of my samples come from the beginning. When I get home, that's when I listen all the way through.

    whut else besides bangin beats?

    I agree with jnxe. Their sounds have no soul. But they are good to at least build a library with.

    Eminem' Production

    I think EM's beats are wack. The only person I've who's sounded "good" over one of his tracks is Jay Z (and J sounds good over almost anything!).

    I started as a dj but once I knew I wanted to get into production - I made it my business to get a MPC200xl. From there I slowly added components as I needed them.

    how long do you normally spend on a track

    I usually take anywhere from an hour to two or three hours. Anything longer than that and I stop and come back to it because my ears get tired. But its not about how long you take - its about the end result!!

    FL vs MPC vs Reason

    The MPC is my choice. Almost everything I do is done using it. I like the hands-on feel it gives you.
