    Phat basslines

    Your best bet might be to get a soft sampler/editor like soundforge or cooledit....that way you can get the loop or sample correct and there are filters in that software that will help you out........then just load the sample to the gear (ASR X or whatever) and then compose....

    Phat basslines

    IF you go back to just about any of the 90's hip hop hits done without the advantage of a custom played bassline....this technique and filtering of basslines was about the only way to compose a nice "REALISTIC" bassline.....Pete Rock was great at Filtering Basslines and using some of the early...

    master copyright recording advice please :)

    A producer should always retain all rights to his masters.....unless there has been an agreement or clause releasing them as part or full of an outstanding agreement between you and the artist.... all of this or how you want to control your work should be made perfectly clear in your recording...

    Sampling Drums

    How much time do you spend sampling your own drumz and how much pre-layering and equing do you put into it......I am finding that I like to use dry samples sometimes and add fx and equing mostly during mixing on each individual snare or bass sample....but I also find that maximizing my samples...

    Put Urself In My Shoes, What Would U Do?

    Man look Imma tell you from my vantage point, if you really understand the industry it is really about, influence, contacts, politics and relationships, who cares about the perception someone will have of your position relative to your contact, I am sure that if it is your longtime contact then...

    You usually won't see me begging

    I am looking for that perfect snare sample.....some of you know what I am talking about....it is almost the same pitch as a rimshot........but its more like a real average everyday snare that has had its pitch adjusted high and it has relatively no decay or fx....you hear this sample on a lot of...

    who are your faveorite artists to sample

    I sample anything I hear that might go good in a beat if I am focused on sampled based beats at the time......I love to snatch drums though....especially shidd left out in the open........

    Madlib - SP-303

    Ok I used the 303.....owned a 505.... the Fantom S and the SP 808...all which use about the same type of pads & spring configuration....None of these pads have the same responsiveness or real drum feel as the MPC....sorry about that.....now I think that madlib might take his pre chopped samples...

    NAS & ILL WILL RECORDS TO SIGN CANIBUS!!!

    No not becuz he's lazy but from what I hear he is an A-hole...Evil D said he pretty much threw his money back at Cannibus and got the F outta there....and others on the panel I went to were reluctant but soon agreed when the question was asked, who is the most difficult MC they ever worked...

    NAS & ILL WILL RECORDS TO SIGN CANIBUS!!!

    Uh oh...the thing is how long will they be able to stand working with his personality....I have heard from, Evil D, Memphis and two other industry producers that he is one of the hardest individuals to work on a project with....this has a lot to do with why deals go sour and projects don't turn...

    Akai S-Series

    the sampler has no internal sequencer, if you are talking S900-S950....you need a soft or hard sequencer to assign your midi channels and samples.....basically I worked with a s950 for awhile with a similiar setup, its definitely a nice machine, I used mine with the mpc2k or I would use the...

    It's hot but umm they definitely changed their style from "they don't dance no more".....LOL.....its close to and reminds me very much of G-Funk and early Dre, DJ Quik or Face, only thing different is the Krunk lyrics......Oh and as far as complicated its a hot track for how they used it, it is...

    Yeh they're dope for what they do.....I have to make these kind of Beats also...Imma well rounded cat myself....but I wanna see what they do......there is one reason I don't feel as constrained when making West Coast beats or South beats I can let the Synths loose too.....I run into MC's from...

    I know this is cheesy but...

    Class you have a Motif and can't get a good clap????.....you have to edit those sounds and the other thing is mix a wood block or layer a snare that has been edited....record a clap layer and flange or reverb then mix, compress tha shidd out of it.....just some ideas if you don't want the ones...

    Kanye West On His Trademark Production

    Oh yeah I mean no doubt Class, there's new technology etc....but keeping with certain elements and structure you can go anywhere you want, I mean Rock has evolved and entertwined into what most consider Mainstream Hip Hop....groups like Linkin Park and others are redefining hip hop to certain...
