    Protools Regions

    im not sure if you're familiar with this feature, but if you have pro tools in SPOT mode (instead of slip, grid, shuffle), you can just Command (could be option, control, can't remember) and drag the region, and a dialog window will appear, and ask you if you want your region to go to its...

    does anyone ever feel like giving up?

    As someonw who currently works in the music business, all I can really say is stay dedicated, stay focused, and keep the passion alive. Some people get lucky and have family who work in the business, but for most, including myself, the thought of getting into this business is nearly impossible...

    CD Replication and Sample Clearance, anyone had this issue?

    i've never heard of cd manufacturers not printing your cd's because of sample clearance.... i put out a mixtape and it was all mainstream music....no problems....just dont go to the big companies like discmakers. Find a local company that prints and they'll do it. Shit they probably wont even...

    goin to nyc for a weekend

    Don't forget times square. Sometimes (not lately), I'll just walk up there late at night and chill. It's sort of inspiring in a weird way? Just sort of shows you the size, and power that NYC holds did you want to do a lot of shopping? There's tons of places for everything you want...

    Can my illfam do me a favor??

    I appreciate the love Chrono! Right now hes in the top 25% so he'll make it to the next round. The next rounds get tougher. After this, they cut it down to 50, then 25, then 10, then 2. So he's gotta get consistent votes for the next few weeks haha

    wtf? dude makin a snare sound like a fuckin guitar on a MPC!!! VIDEO

    I put that up. I have a bunch of videos of this guy. He came and visited our class, and basically performed, did some tutorials (actually he did the exact same guitar tutorial, and if I remember correctly, using a snare also made a dope synth sound), and answered a ton of questions. Very...

    the official Illmuzik "Sending Beats To Artists" thread

    The term "producer" absolutely, positively, does NOT encompass the beat and the mix. Here is what a REAL producer is (Hip hop is a little different). A producer is someone who works with the artist to get the best possible product out of them. The producer oversees the making of a song. The...

    the official Illmuzik "Sending Beats To Artists" thread

    The industry standard, is really give em an mp3, and let them record it to the 2-Track (mp3). If they decide they like the track and want to use it for their album or whatever, once the budget has been opened for their album, then you make payment arrangements through the label. And once that...

    Mixxing Vocals,,,Stereo or Mono

    worst advice...One of the main things that bring life to vocals is reverbs, and having a mono reverb just makes no sense at all. EVERYTHING you mix should be in stereo. Obviously you record it in mono (who the hell records vocals with a stereo mic?? unles you're going for an effect, nobody)...
