Eminem' Production
My goodness. 1. Scott Storch did not make the beat for "In Da Club." Mike Elizondo did it. However, he shares credit with Dr. Dre for the production. That way Dre maintains his status as a hitmaker, and Elizondo moves up in rank, owing Dre his career. 2. Bigdmakintrax is quite right... -
Whats ur Favorite Piece of Equipment? and why?
The computer. Many older people on this site will remember the vagaries of linear recording and the time wasted with "punching in" and "punching out" sessions. How we used to pray for something easier to work with. Be thankful for your non-linear recording capabilities. People have to... -

Cold Truth: I sent you a PM. Look for my Indie Article as soon as Fade puts it up on the Illmuzik main page. Freakwncy wrote If they have beats, they can network and try to get their production skills noticed through the said channels. They can give out burned CDs to people of...- God

Can Someone analyze this Contract for me?
Also, forgive me Fade, for the second post... 1. The guy sounds like an amateur. 2. He probably doesn't have any pertinent contacts. 3. If he says he does, have him tell you who they are, and validate them. 4. Ask him about what other people he represented. 5. Do not sign anything...- God

Can Someone analyze this Contract for me?
Here's the leverage that the manager use: "Hey, J-Malice, look man, if you don't like the contract the way it is. Find another manager. I'm not trying to screw anybody over. We're not major labels here, I'm just trying to help you out... and you come at me with this? I think you have...- God

What Percentage do Managers get??
People that manage producers find work for the producer. That is reflective of your skills. If you can mix, he can find you a mixing job, if you can master, he will find you a mastering project. If he can broker your beats for you, you... and he... will get paid. The whole purpose is for... -
Can Someone analyze this Contract for me?
I would be concerned with the fact that the contract does not even end properly. Are you sure there was no failure in the transmission of the contract? Assess what this guy can really do for you, or is he just a blowhard that talks a lot of shite with no ability to back things up. There are...- God

Goldy_C asked: You want to be comfortable in performing your tracks. That is, if you can't rap a certain way, don't. You probably won't sound good (if you can't rap as fast as Twista, then don't force yourself.) Try to incorporate commercial tracks (meaning songs that can be played as a...- God

Freakwncy asked the following Intro Red Ant. They folded a while back when they were a sub of Poly. Look, you only knew him for 5 days? I understand that you worked with him on those things, but if it was back in 96, I think the chances of him giving you a "shot" will not work anymore...- God

Nuendo Is Better Than Protools
ProTools is not the best out there. People can use a version of Cakewalk 2.0 and a crap version of Sound Forge and do wonders. These days, parity is almost evident with most DAWs. The only function I'd argue is if a native based DAW is competing against a ProTools HD xxxkHz and you have... -

Kanye And Acapellas
They are blatant samples. If you want to get around the situation and just get the vocals, you can hire singers. That brings down the price of the sample to an interpolation, since the source track is not being used. That happens A LOT. Since he raises the pitch of the singing, then the... -
taxi.com ????
Their biggest success is landing the deal for "Crossfade." They are a rock band that sings the song "Cold." Knowing how cynical I am, I bet the owner held that band from being a normal A&R to using Crossfade (Sugardaddy Superstar) as a selling point for the business. It doesn't hurt, you... -
Who wrote Joe Budden - Pump It Up
Going on what inrctyhoodmusic said: 1. Isn't it crazy that Def Jam is officially calling the poor results of the album a problem with the changing of Joe Buddens' name to "Joe Budden" for the debut, rather than "Joe Buddens," which is the way he was always known? I think that's ludicrous...- God
