16 Bit And 24 Bit Samples
You have to convert the sample into the bit rate that you're recording in. If you have a 16 bit sample, and you're recording in 24, then you have to have it resampled for the issues listed by LDB. -
Quality Quality Quality!!!
This might help you out. LAYERING KICK DRUMS Consider layering your kick drum. For example. Take a soft 808 kick, which has more "wash" to it, and then add a little "click" with another sample (like a Power kit kick.) Mix these two together. Add more kick drums to that mix that add... -
Favorite strip club you've visited.
LDB -- that's genius. Is there really good money in that? Also, LDB (or anyone else) do you think it's possible to break acts in the stripper circuit? Like, Lil' Jon introducing his techno/Nord-lead style of crunk in strip clubs before everywhere else (since he was a DJ at a strip joint)...- God

Janelle Monae: It's that 60's sound and it's back...
No, I haven't checked out that book -- but I will now. Good looks on that. Thanks, dude. -
Favorite strip club you've visited.
^^^^ Agreed. In L.A., Bodyshop on Sunset @Ominous: Dude, doesn't Jenna Jameson live in Phoenix?- God

Judging from your statements, I can only surmise the following: 1. You need to assess whether you can cut costs or reduce losses on investments that you have made that may be consequential in NOT adding to your bottom line. For example, are there any portions of your business affairs where... -

Spearmint Rhino - Las Vegas. Assorted others in European countries were a lot better, but I forgot the names.- God

Janelle Monae: It's that 60's sound and it's back...
I'm just fuckin' around, dude. Ha! It's almost lunchtime -- I need to hit the strip club. -

lmao @ an education. WTF? -
Janelle Monae: It's that 60's sound and it's back...
LDB, In my post I never made the claim that she was the instigator/inventor of this resurgence in the 60's sound. Thus, I don't know why you brought up the Outkast situation. I think, perhaps, I should have better articulated my point so that people reading my post can better understand my... -
Check this dudes flow..who is this cat?
Class, His multis and wordplay are impressive. I'm assuming he is probably a good battle-rapper, despite his age. The meter to the flow is great as well. The kid's manager should consider using a better song to showcase him. Sincerely, God- God

Get that "real drum" feel popin'
^^^^^^^^^^^^ Agreed. - Also important: keeping the velocity of all percussive elements in a state of constant flux. A person can achieve this through a randomization feature on your DAW. - Don't repeat fills. Add an extra snare pop to a bar in order to differentiate from the other. -... -
Janelle Monae: It's that 60's sound and it's back...
I believe Puffy may be distributing her music with a two-in deal. He is allegedly behind the scenes. She is working with a manager/cat to distribute music in a quarterly fashion, rather than in an "album" fashion. The reason I post this: 1. It reaffirms the beliefs of people on this... -
Get that "real drum" feel popin'
You control bleeding into other mics by having a gate on the specific mic. You generally have a gate on the snare, toms, and a low gate on the hi-hate. You use the overhead mics in with the other pieces of the drum kits for a "live feel." But, it also depends on the type of music you're... -
MySpace has new music service.
2good, I think if the cable companies own the fibre optic networks and switchboards that we use for free, or for a menial ISP charge, they have to cash in somehow on people jacking their bandwidth. It's business-- I don't think it's really that sinister (I might not like having to pay fees)... -
I'm having surgery done ON MY ANKLE
Good luck Fade. Make sure to cue Dark Side of the Moon with the "Wizard of Oz" after surgery when you kick back and numb your ankle pain with legally prescribed Percosets. Press play after the THIRD roar of the MGM lion. In all seriousness, hope it goes smoothly.- God

Hey man, I'm going to post some truth -- if I'm wrong correct me -- because I don't know you. If you're trying to be a "record company" in this climate, think again. It's hard as hell. I bet there are thousands of "rappers" in Charlotte that have "record labels" and "albums" with beats... -
MySpace has new music service.
Well, 2good, coordinated efforts on the part of business are called PR campaigns. Just browse through the history of a firm like http://www.edelman.com and see about it. You have a strategy or message you want out in public, thus, you hire a PR firm to create a strategy that disseminates said... -
Polow Da Don using stock GarageBand loops?
Terius used Vintage Funk Kit 03 in Garageband for Rihanna's "Umbrella." Slow it down and have a listen. Terius probably uses a Swiss banker to manage the money he made from Rihanna's "Umbrella." -

Relic, I'm with the other cats here. You gotta stand up. 1. The business that the government and other companies (even OfficeMax) make off people starting a "small business" is actually big business. Kind of like the people that sold shovels during the gold rush. They made more money than...
