    i can't help but bring up the mentioning of Carlos Mencia in this whole mess because in the world of respected stand up comics he is known as Carlos Men-steal-a. i'll leave it to the rest of you to make the connection between this and storch and timbo

    to my songwriters...

    here is an interesting story that has to do with this topic sorta.... Rivers Cuomo(the evil genius from the band Weezer) once spent a long period of time trying to crack a formula or equation that would lead him to an endless supply of pop songs. He tried to do this by studying Nirvana and...

    making remixes (using accapellas)

    my choices of acapellas haven't been the easiest to do this with since some weren't even done using a beat in the first place..... this is so tedius because i end up timestretching and shifting both the vocals and the beat over and over again until it ends up in a way i like besides...

    i'm not digging the drums sounds that much but you did an awesome job with that sample. i attempted something similar but it ended up sounding to creepy. this is more chill which is cool. when are you going to post a new sample for us to flip?

    how many hours in the lab?

    if i had a decent computer and software i'd be getting so much more done is much less time. i'd probably still spend as many hours or more since it wouldn't be so frustrating. if i didn't live in such a noisy house i'd probably spend twice as much time working on stuff. kinda sucks when you...

    who uses samples from magazines?

    i bought a music tech mag which came with a dvd. i use it to compose everything. it came with sounds from different roland keyboards that have a 70s sound. it also came with drum sounds that were recorded using a mic technique that a lot of british rock bands used in the 60s and 70s. i beef them...

    Beat From Scratch or not

    i find that i can't try and make something happen. there is no way i can sit down and tell myself i'm going to make a beat. i do sometimes but i end up hating it the next day. now i just go about my day smoking, listening to music, and watching movies. if i get inspired or an idea arises in...

    justin roelofs is the only one pushing the envelope at the moment

    justin roelofs is the only one pushing the envelope at the moment

    "To manipulate sound vibrations in specific ways, especially with the voice, can cause a torrent of positive energy to be released to the world. It brings peace and harmony, and a connection to now and everything. The inherent obligation of the artist, I believe, is the transmission of pure...

    Which type of music do you sample the most?

    i've also sampled from 2001. there is so much worth using from that movie that i feel like i could lay down an entire album or two using it

    Beat From Scratch or not

    i always program my drums before moving on to anything else. then i add keyboards or a sample and then then the bass and ambient stuff

    songs with harmonica loops?

    i finally did my first harmonica loop on a beat. i was feeling spotaneous so i took a stab at at and did just one take. i could probably do better but i don't like to think about it too much. http://www.myspace.com/mourningthislastknight

    this is also my first attempt at flipping a chosen sample. this was fun. i started out programming a pattern and then i chopped up the sample and put a RZA verose over the loop http://www.myspace.com/mourningthislastknight

    making beats to score a film

    rza's work on Ghost Dog: way of the samurai is incredible. i read an interview that rza met the director from a mutual weed smoking friend and after they met they he told rza his idea and that he wanted him to make the music. he said he'd go write the script while forest whitaker trained

    making beats to score a film

    i realize i'm going beyond talking producing now but trying to make your own trailer using a movie on your computer would be great practice. i took a video arts class in high school and editing was my favorite part. doing that would allow you even more freedom when making the music. it would be...

    doing a trailer would be awesome as well since all of the best and most powerful scenes fly by all at once

    Can u play a real instrument?

    i was the best trumpet player in school back in the day before i ever gave a thought to creating my own music. i'd really like to get back into it now because i think my beats would improve 10000%. i just can't afford one at the moment.
