  1. 5th Sequence

    Music industry for the rest of your life?

    Well said Fade. Bigmakintrax, we're on the same wavelength lol. Theres this one MC in my area that I personally think is dope and I would love to work with him. But he is the most unreliable person i've EVER met in my life. I actually had a basement party and we setup a stage for him to...

    Music industry for the rest of your life?

    Jesus you said it exactly how it is. My friends an I talk about this all of the time. So many people that actually do have talent just don't have the dedication when it comes to being professional. I honestly can't stand that shit. I get offers every week for beats and people that are...

    I Got Me A Belt!!!

    Congratulations. That battle looks dope, wish there was somethin like that in my area. That shit is ill though, congrats again.

    Getting that crowd sound on the hook...

    lol i've done this before too. Definitely layer a grip and make subtle changes. Reverb is a must but it's got to fit the vocals right or can sound weird.

    best beat making video ever

    holy fuck. This dude is so sick. What the hell is that lil instrument he plays with his thumbs around the end? That lil thing is way nice lol. True musicianship on this guys part, props.

    Vocal Processor

    a Hardware vocal processor would enable you to hear the effects in real time (as you rap/sing). A software one would probably have some latency issues.

    How to go about selling your beats?

    bigmakin trax your referin to iron might huh lol. I just heard about that shit in the ughh forums. But yeah, there are so many inconsistant people who are in this for all of the wrong reasons. Some of them even develop a passion for it but are still mixed up. Your musical ability in beat...

    How to go about selling your beats?

    thats fucking dope classic. I read about something similar using business cards and what not and wanted to try it out. But to hear about someone actually doing it thats inspiration. I'm gettin business cards next week. That iPod thing is a great idea too, damn. Ah inspiration overload.

    Question about hardware.

    co-sign to what bastard said. If your computer isn't at least at decent quality (512MB of DDR RAM, at least a 40GB 7200rpm harddrive and decent motherboard) than it might not be a great idea for you to record to your computer. You still can, easily actually, but if you get into using effects...

    How to get Really Smooth Keys

    yeah I realize that i'm listening to these jazz songs that have been recorded in professional studio's by pro engineers and then mastered really well. Trying to recreate the sound will take a lot of work but i still feel theres something I could do. Ah well thanks for the input everyone.
  14. 5th Sequence

    I don't know about yall, but I'm a Donell Jones fan....

    Donnells got the smoothshit goin on. I got his Where I Wanna Be cd in right now. I wasn't aware of his new cd droppin, good looking out.

    How to get Really Smooth Keys

    spanish thanks for the help but that's not quite what I was gettin at. I can get that type smoothness real easy. I guess more of a fullness of smoothness. lol i dont make any sense but I know it when I hear it. If anyone ever comes across any jazz music from Paul Hardcastle, you'll know...

    sampling multiple songs

    Don't duck lol. Take it! ha, na not at all. You have real valid points though. My thing is I agree with both of you. I try to avoid buying or even listening to records I think would be popular or possibly hard to clear. I'm talking real popular ones mainly. It's not worth listening and...

    How to get Really Smooth Keys

    word, much appreciated class and silentnoiz. I've looked into loungelizard before but i've heard the same thing that it's too clean. I think the phase and panning is what i'm after with that almost slight tremelo effect. I can get something somewhat similar in FL when I use the FL keys and...

    How to get Really Smooth Keys

    that'll make the sound sustain longer yeah. But i'm thinkin more along the lines of actual smoothness. I'm not worried about the sustain unless that's what's making everything hella smooth.

    Order of Effects when Mixing

    For kicks... I use a lowpass filter to take out some of the crispness, then compress it and EQ afterwards. For Hihats.. usually use some sort of filter or EQ to take out the brightness. Sometimes i'll use a chorus effect on it to get a wider spread. Compress if needed. Snares.. Compression...

    What makes a street record??

    I think a hood beat cant have weak/club sounding sounds in it. You gotta have some drums that are phat and crisp that wanna slap you out of your seat when you hear it. Damn I don't know what else to say I thought i'd be more helpful than that lol. I'd say just listen to all of the "hood"...
