Pro Tools HELP!!
Do you want to cut it up whilst mastering in ProTools, or do you have Spark? -
What don't you like about major labels today?
Dear All: I'm just wondering what you all don't like about major labels today. Is it because major labels haven't given people a fair shake at CD prices... or online music? Post your gripes here! Sincerely, God -
roland fantom x video
I'm not too big of a Roland fan, but I think Korg will milk the Triton as long as possible to capitalise on the gargantuan profit they made on it (not to mention paying for the expensive R and D on it.) -
mastering: vintage warmer vs. waves masters software
Honestly, I think people put TOO much on the type of (in this case) warmer that is used to "warm" the track up so it doesn't sound "cold." That is the same with software for anything. I've argued again and again, that it is in fact up to the listener's ear, many people, after they purchase... -
why is it so hard to make it in the music industry?
Bigd: There's always been politics... the not what you know who you know credo goes in any business. The fact is that it is a business, you deal with a corporation, and that's what I'm trying to tell people, that you have to deal with that aspect for success with a major. For an indie... -
why is it so hard to make it in the music industry?
I don't know any of you have looked at previous threads I've posted regarding this topic, I suggest you have a look at them and ask me some questions thereafter if they don't answer anything for you. If you checked them out already, post again saying you saw it, and then I can enlighten you a... -
You can Chat w/ Young Guru Jan.30
I don't much care for these, as this seems like a blatant press release or promo for Roc-A-Fella Records and Damon Dash's attempt to revive the brand after Jay-Z's last album (I have a few opinions about Dash). But maybe you all might be interested in attempting to chat with Young Guru, a...- God

Behringer Condesner Mic B1 - Opinions Please? (description inside)
I don't like Behringer's quality control. I would recommend an AKG for that stature of mic. -
Roland Fantom-S 61-Key Sampling Music Workstation
You should try one out somewhere. The pads aren't as big as the MPC, people complained about that. -
mastering: vintage warmer vs. waves masters software
I don't think it's necessarily right to compare the two. The whole "warm" and "colder" feeling seems moot to me. It is a perception thing. When you come down to it, most people are not going to know or "feel" the difference because they usually are playing most music through very weak car... -
As producers, how do you guys feel about........
Dear o.Prime and bigdmakintrax: I think you are right in having a mentality that is concurrent to a rock producer's skill and vision of a product, or of an older Dr. Dre, RZA vantage point where the entire album is textured with their capabilities. I think in hip-hop music it is money that... -
hot Singles Sell Albums!!??
hot singles sell artists. it depends on the type of album and if it has a consistent number of singles on it that will sell the album v. a free (and illegal) mp3 download. I think you should definitely focus on crafting your song as a marketable single. If you have more, you can then use... -
how to record tracks/vocals?
Do it in mono, since it is one microphone picking up the voice. then, obvoiusly you overdub or add harmonies that are placed in different spots within the sonic spectrum. Also, you raise an interesting point regarding mono v. stereo recording. Usually stereo recording encapsulates the... -
Yo is this for real, Or am i getting played?
This sounds like they want your production/beats for free. I would usually say that they should pay you per beat up front. Do you know that they really are going to press 2,000 copies? Do you know that they're not another producer wanting to rip you off by getting the actual .wav file... -
Rap Image
J-Malice: The problem I see with starting an independent label is that EVERYBODY (it seems like it) has their own record label in the US and Europe. Competition is great now, with many people now believing they can get a piece of the pie. The advent of digital recording has made it easy... -
Rap Image
Dear J-Malice: Your statement: "cuz man im plannin on gettin big wit dis shit but im tryna do my own thing. im not tryna have ppl tellin me what to do." does not make sense from a label's perspective. If I am a label, and I think you are a promising artist, however, you do not... -
Hip Hop Glamour Mentality VS. Major Label Reality By Money Bailey
Good point Copenhagen, Hip-hop is perhaps the most profitable genre of music that a label can invest in due to low overhead, hence lower advances with a potentially greater return. The reference in the article is to charts in '96, there is a huge difference in mentality and sales now... -
fav soft synth?
I would recommend Native Instruments' REAKTOR. The ultimate solution, I believe, for the creation of any synth. Sincerely, God -
Propellerhead - Automatic beat copyright?
LavRock: You bring about an interesting circumstance, however, most individuals, even after they have secured a copyright with the Library of Congress, can not protect themselves. Litigation may be an expensive option. Furthermore, a well protected defendant in a copyright infringement... -
How To Get A Record Deal By Wendy Day
The $25,000-$75,000 she secures is hardly for a "street team." That's extra in-pocket money for the artist (sometimes), or the manager. The manager can then claim that a "street team" was paid and pocket it themselves. "Receipts" are made as proof. Usually the manager owns a "marketing...
