The overall sound of your beats
You may want to try adding a touch of reverb the the final mix in the Master mixing board. You can just insert the Fruity Reeverb and adjust the level to the sound you're looking for. Also, you can look for other reverb plugins that have presets (e.g., Drum Room, Stage, etc.) -
Snare Compression/ALC Snares?
What do you mean by layering? Do you layer the snares? If so, are you using a plugin? -
Musical Inspirations & Influences
Prince was the first artist to get me really playing the keyboards. I used to lip sing "Darlin' Nikki' while playing (badly) my casio keyboard. My Mother used to play and sing Minnie Riperton and Nancy Wilson day in and day out. I used to get sick of hearing it but now I think of how good... -
Rewire Latency
I use FL 5 as a Rewire client in Sonar 4. I usually don't have an issue with latency but sometimes I have to restart the application when it happens. I agree that it may be CPU issues. The other way could get around this is to bounce your Tilogy bass (i'm not too familiar with that) to a wav... -
should u alwayz u the swing function?
It's definitely not necessary to use the swing function on all beats. I think it depends on your style and the type of hip hop or other music you're producing. Swing beats (moved to the right) remind me of premier and pete rock - that ole' boom bap. Move it to the left and you got more Mobb... -
which fl version you prefer?
I messed with FL 6, but went back to FL 5. I don't do much mixing down in Fruity. I use FL as a rewire client in Sonar for mixing and arranging so don't miss the new mixer much. -
fruity loops 5 help!!!
Yeah, actually if it says cell it will hop cell to cell. You can actually pick a step or beat fraction (e.g., 1/4) depending on how much you want the box to move. I usually use none for audio samples and cell to snap beats into place for a song... -
Shopping Your Beats
I ran into 9th Wonder a couple of months back in NC at the CIAA tournament and I asked him this exact question. He gave me two jewels: 1) you got to do a whole album. Folks don't look at the album jackets anymore like back in the day, so you have to brand yourself with the group (e.g., Little... -
Your favorite software to make beats?
FL Studio 5. I started using FL Studio 6 but didn't find the interface and plugins any better for me to be creative. -

Wizdom Is In the Building!! (spoken humbly of course)
What's up my fellow producers!? I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. I produce hip hop beats in the Washington, DC area. I must say that sometimes I feel like a crack addict for creating a dope beat - there's nothing like it. I'm still learning the ropes, but I look forward...- Wizdom
