    Rakim, Dr. Dre dispute....the real facts.

    Oh yeah Dre's got all the cards, but he missed his chance to make history, 50 Cent is Hot right now, but again we are dealing with "right now", Rakim is a legend and he did what was best for him as an artist he's been around this game for years, I'm quite sure he can smell a rat! Rakim has...

    Rakim, Dr. Dre dispute....the real facts.

    I can understand that shit happens in the business, but Dre should have done everything in his power to not let shit like that happen, especially his right hand man, you mean to tell me you couldn't square things away between your right hand and a Hip-Hop Legend, you got to be kidding me. Make...

    Check out Aftermath Drama in Source Article

    Thats bad, I mean you got one of the greatest rhyme sayers of all time a legend signed to your label along with some of the dopest producers, and you didn't get the album done, somebody needs to get their head chopped of at Aftermath, ignoring all the gossip and talk about what Dre did or so and...

    OT: A+ certification

    The A+ is good for entry level, I've been going to school for computers for awhile and studying for the Win2k MCSE recently, but to be honest none of this replaces a college degree in computer information/science or whatever field of study your interested in. If you have the degree and...

    Music Creators

    I'm using a Yamaha EX5 Synthesizer for sequencing/Sampling, I got a Roland MK-II Drum Machine, and another Yamaha PSR510 keyboard. I use Acid Pro 4.0, FruityLoops, Cakewalk Sonar 2.2, and Cubase SX. I also got mad dx and vst plugins. I'm really waiting to get another computer P4 Dual CPU's so I...

    Happy Hurricane!

    WOO!! No work today, you know what that means, in the lab like crazy today, as long as I have power (hopefully)! I'm in DC so everything around here is pretty much shutdown. Anybody else effected by Isabella.

    Best Mobb DEep beat??

    The thing I like about Havoc is that he can take bits and pieces of sounds and turn them into hits, I mean there is usually 4 or 5 tracks on a typical mobb deep beats but it rocks like hell.

    Check out Aftermath Drama in Source Article

    I just picked up the latest Source, I rarely buy it I always read it and leave it on the newstand but I was very interested in what they had to say about Aftermath, basically a group of Dre's closest associates went and started their own company due to the alleged "BS" at Aftermath. It also said...

    Wavelab

    I use Sound Forge myself but Wavelab is just as good, it has some advantages and disadvantages over SF. What I like about SF is you can edit your sounds up to 64bits 192hz, I think Wavelab only goes up to 32bits which is still good. Wavelab seems a little more technical minded you have graphs to...

    trying to jump into mid on reason

    What up Inspectah Wu! You should probably go over some guides on the power of Midi recording to really get a good understanding, but check the link out below for some helpful instructions on using Midi with Reason. Here is my take on Midi. Musical Instrument Device Interface (MIDI) Basically...

    How do you do your drums?

    FruityLoops is good very good for making drum sounds and it's very flexible and as far as making real sounding drums you CAN do it, there are many ways just be creative. You could pay a live drummer to allow you to record him or her playing for about an hour and then you got mad sounds in which...

    What is a "professional beat"???

    Going to mastering a "good" recorded and mixed project will only make it "great", but the mastering engineers can't make "crap" sound like a million bucks. Most of the time when the mastering engineers start working on a major label project, the album already has the professional sonic...

    Neptunes Biting Kid From Canada!!!!

    I agree with fade about samples and beat jacking but they are both a bit different in a certain context. Beat jacking especially from the major producers is not exceptable because of all the equipment and budgets they have to create there own music it just makes no since for them to rip someone...

    Beat LP's question..??

    Mastering your music is definetly well worth it, but not everyone is good at it. Go to a good mastering engineer, like someone at Sterling Sound or The Hit Factory. The way most Pop and Hip-Hop CD's are coming out today, your inhouse mastered CD will have a hard time holding up to the volume...

    What Type Of Instrumentals Do You Make?

    The emcees I work with usually pick out which tracks they would like to flow too the most. I always work on making the best music possible and everytime I sit down to produce I want to outdue the last track I've done. So I'm steadily improving and even working on my weak spots (not many) from...

    names sell!!!?

    As far as some of the mainstream producers who often don't amaze me, one of my teachers told me something at school in a marketing course, "sell the sizzle not the bacon" this is the golden rule in the Music Industry. Hype up your product as much as possible, get 10 other big name artists to...
