    Rakim, Dr. Dre dispute....the real facts.

    When they say "not meshing" trust me it's a lot more than that. Rakim probably wanted more money up front, and Dre told him to take a walk. In those situations, Dre has all the leverage, not the artist, I don't care who it is. If Rakim was smart, he would have stayed by Dre's side. Dre has a...

    What do you think of LINKIN PARK: REANIMATION's production?

    To whom it may concern: I think that LINKIN PARK: REANIMATION has some great production on the remixes off HYBRID THEORY. I'm not just talking about its "hip-hop" aspect, but a lot of the more involved electronic production in the songs. I really would like to see a rock band that would...

    Mixer in my set up!!!

    Mixers help you properly separate and then, obviously, mix sounds from different sources. The 1402 is not a DJ mixer, obviously. If you have different sound sources, coming from different modules or microphones, that outnumber the channels on your mixer, and you wish to have more control...

    ???another Pro Tools Question???

    Are you talking about an FX echo, and why you can't manipulate the FX properly. Or are you saying that there is an echo to any sound you use when you are using ProTools. You have to be more descriptive in what exactly is happening. Digidesign FX are relatively easy to manipulate...

    vocal recordings

    The microphone is the most important component. It is the first phase of changing a soundwave into electrical impulses which will afterwards be processed. Sound capture is the most underrated yet the most important part of recording vocals. Sincerely, God

    drum filters.....

    The quickest thing is to have a large dynamic EQ (30 band) at your disposal (I think cool edit has this) and bring down the low end to some degree to ease off the heaviness of the kick. Remember, an EQ is a filter. Find the frequency range that you're most comfortable with by band passing...

    Wasted talents, any of you out there?

    To whom it may concern: A lot of people I've seen try desperately and fail. But the buggers are quite talented. I think if they would have stuck to what they were doing, they would make an existence in the music biz? Any of you have seen this, or know friends like this? Sincerely, God

    who smokes, and does it make a difference

    Word of advice: Don't mix drunk or stoned. For the creative process, though, well, it's up to you. :)

    Mixing Sounds

    Copenhagen: I believe you are mentioning the effect the attack of a sound has on a listener. Such as a psychological state of being attuned to the minimalistic beat you mentioned, and then that stasis is broken by new sounds introduced at intermittent times. This has a psychological effect...

    Bass in yo face

    1. Record the bassline either direct inlined or miked from an amp. Thus, you preamp the bass and then record it. Then, spend hours, EQ'ing the recorded bassline afterwards on the channel EQ you use for that recorded bass track. 2. Hard compression is technically any compression ratio of...

    Bass in yo face

    1. Guitars are themselves priced due to several things involved. Most importantly, it is the quality of craftsmanship in the instrument. It depends what kind of wood is used, as well as the wood used on the fretboard. Furthermore, is the guitar crafted properly to maintain intonation even...

    How To Sell A Beat

    I think goldeneyeoutlaw offers some well placed advice. Keep in mind that production competition is fierce today more than it ever was before. The utilisation of social networks is a quick way to attempt to sell beats for money. However, are you spending your time attempting to achieve the...

    What condenser mics do you prefer recording with?

    The microphones I use would make a long list. There are specific microphones that work best for a pattern of circumstances. Thus, there are microphones that work best for drums, vocals, choral, stringed instruments, electric gtr, piano, and so forth. Since this is a hip-hop forum, I believe...

    If you are comfortable with the outcome, and it fits within your desires as a producer, then go with what works. However, if you feel limited, consider expanding your options to cater to your needs. Sincerely, God
