    Losing my creativity - and I've only just started?!?

    to get your creativity going; -forget about the limits you normally impose on yourself. like for example, "i have to make a beat at 90-95bpm". -Try using other sounds you normally wouldn't use. Like there maybe a kick or snare sound you never use because you don't like the sound of it. Try...

    how long do yall take to make a beat??

    making the beat itself does not take long. For me, its looking for sounds which can take hours of browsing. I probably need to organize my sounds better. but I believe each beat, usually has 1 defining sound which you can either find in no time if you are lucky, or take hours if you are not.

    Beat Teams: Best Way to Break into Industry?

    I think production teams are best 2s. Anything more, and an autocratic leader, as god mentioned, could be the only thing that manages keeps the team intact.

    NEW TRACK!!! Eminem produced By Dr Dre

    love the track, cant wait for the album. beat was hot, Dre's verse (written by Em) was well delivered. and I enjoyed 50's lazy flow at the end. not groundbreaking stuff, but fun to listen to.

    I need an opinion from those who play guitar.

    i started with a nylon acoustic. very cheap, great sound and easy on the fingers cuz of nylon strings. if you can learn on this first, moving onto electric feels so much easier!

    Who knows about the stock market?

    risky yes but not such a bad idea i think. the prices we are experiencing now are a rarity. Warren Buffet just put up an offer for $5 billion worth of Goldman stock, making a paper profit of $437 million from warrants! Check out the story here.

    Who knows about the stock market?

    Markets always experience these cycles. The last was in the 1920s I think (great depression?). It is difficult to predict when these cycles will change and the market goes bearish but right now I would invest in companies that are going to stick around and have proven longevity. It is a good...

    Cast YOUR vote for the next US President..

    I am so glad to see this. In the Uk, our media and public challenge politicians all the time and no one is immune. Look at what happened to Blair. He was forced out of office for partnering up with Bush on the Iraq war. Anyway an article like this stateside at least shows the media is not...

    Cast YOUR vote for the next US President..

    I will not be surprised if McCain takes it. Just as in the previous elections, somehow, Bush managed to take it for the second time. People these ends prefer Obama and I think he is a better candidate. McCain seems sly, there is something not quite right about him. Does anyone here think he had...

    Getting Tracks to Sit Well in the Mix

    thats how I usually work. I don't like using sounds that need too much treatment. I only mess with the db. Sometimes though you only pick up on the mis-matches later on in the mixing stage. This is when you pull out the engineer to fix things.

    Get your royalties direct with Last.fm no need for a record label

    http://www.last.fm/forum/6666/_/371603 Here we go. I think this is the future, internet radio stations. These guys will pay you royalties directly, leaving the question, how much longer can record labels have the upper hand in getting music out to the masses? Besides marketing/pr and physical...
