    Im pissed the hell off somebody talk to me!!

    wow, see I am afraid of ebay now because people still hack accounts at one time they said they had a handle on it.....but also their fees have gotten way out of hand if you ask me.....by the time you pay a fee it deducts from the actual price your item was worth ...but I feel for you thats not a...

    MPC 1000 vs Triton

    you wrong to an extent it depends on how you make your patterns and the drumming you want to do, I had one and yes it was tight, but in some instances when you tryna get a good pattern so it loops flawless it has this lil problem where sometimes it sound messed up...the mpc for the most part is...

    I dunno about that, I mean, they using strictly 808 & 909 kits and tweaked but I heard a lot of cuts from the 90's that used those type snares, not in heavy usage but the heatmakerz were definitely not the first....at least I dont think so and I been listening to hip hop long b4 2000 LOL...

    The Alchemist Beats?

    key is finding samples with the bassline in it, and at least some part of the song that is at least about 4 bars loopable, it all starts with the record he picks....at least I think so, even though he could probably use the technique with almost any....he just knows the pieces of the puzzle to...

    MPC 4000 or MPC 3000?

    Ok I had a 3000 and 2000, I loved my 3000 but screen started fading and scsi stopped working, I guess I would have kept it .....but to me, and this is just me, there was not a huge difference feeling wise between my 2000 and 3000....anyhow if I could I would cop another.....I never really worked...

    Might be gone for awhile

    you gotcha priorities straight, if you aint 100% say into music and if you were there is balance, I mean I remember being in school from 6-12th grade and music was a class and band practice, festivals and performances etc...but you still had to juggle your studies and graduating from HS on top...

    Fruity Scratcher Video

    even in the older versions I had to sit back and think to myself this sounds pretty convincing to me, I think I actually had a track where i used it a few times LOL at least used in a song, its all about the effects sometimes and not the means...even though I did DJ some I was never nice like that.

    Blowing Up From The Basement

    That is the number one factor in making it too, you could be in the cornfield nowheresville and be tryna sell your music and get a name but if you have no consumers and fans of what you are doing it will be hard and also the team thing is true, I had two so called cliques I have produced for in...

    Blowing Up From The Basement

    again its a good article, we talked about all of these concepts at some point or another on here, but its good to see them all together in a concise article, good job, really though this site is a repository but its so good that someone can write a book and then get rich off the braintrust....LOL

    Selling Beats 2 Artists/Companies, Etc & Sampling

    put it like this, if you are heavily sampling you had better hold your own and be able to do it consistently because from what i understand the fees and licenses will eat heavily into your bottom line.....not as much money is made (coming to you) on a track that has clearances and licensing...

    Do I Need A Manager?

    This is a very good article, Shadeed has done his homework, managers come in all shapes sizes and agendas, now I know a few Producer managers but being in some of the bands I played in a manager is essential, and a good manager that knows their role in your business is too, so this probably...
