    Hip Hop software

    FL Studio (producer Edition) I'd go with that if you want everything in one package and are hellbent or moneystrapped and don't want to fugg with hardware.....but the key to your beats are the sequencing, samples and imagination....NOT Software or Hardware you are using even though the use of...

    Eminem' Production

    See that was a whole notha can of worms Jermaine...back in the Ol school daze of quincey you can still think of Quincy as a real producer......but think of all of his live musicians and orchestras as what the producer today has in his bank of samples, he could find the right sounds and band or...

    Eminem' Production

    I will pretty much agree with Truth, that was actually my other point , I am a real musician too (Keys, Sax and Drums) played in Neo Soul and Go-Go bands in DC, Maryland and VA along with production and working with MC's, and the two other cats I used to gig with would make pretty good money on...

    Eminem' Production

    Wings you make good points and write a lot on here that makes sense the last 3 months and thatz all good to anyone that might not know any better, I am not sure whether you write from experience or just an internet producer that doesn't get out much, I hate to dissapoint you but you don't really...

    I think there may be some threads if you search I have seen this topic at least a few times.....but bottom line....your keys to getting that sounding good is.....a good Mic.....an isolated area...booth or closet with soundproofing or absorbers.....next thing is a good peak sound check and if the...

    Who's your favorite company!!!!

    Ok, now BiGD speaks on software, I have Protools 5.3.1 and use it for all of my booth recording and artist demos...I find it easy to use especially since you can bounce adding different effects without having to alter the original recording and then come back and make corrections, you must...

    Eminem' Production

    Well I dunno whether anybody has really been near a production setup, or been around producers that make a lot of the stuff that makes the cut on a lot albums I know one of the engineers from Murda Inc he also did some production too and saw the gear he used and heard a lot of the original...

    Are producers only as good as his records/sound sources: trials of a crate digger

    Well look at it like this......you can still make hot shidd with wack vinyl....you just might not be able to use the sample in a way like Blaze or Kanye where you have to play more than about 2 or 3 seconds or the sample....and know how to edit the sample enuff....one thing to use are rhodes...

    Help a brotha out!!!!!!

    I think that people shouldn't really be that amazed by Fruityloops, like Eka said its a sequencer, based on all of the OL hardware and how you could sequence on them.....the drumulator SP12 and SP1200 laid the groundwork behind all of the concepts in the entire akai family & Software, they just...

    Which MPC is the best in the series?

    I had the mpc 2k and used it for awhile I don't know whether features or sound quality are the most important....I was focused on the sounds because that's biggest debate between the 3000, the 4000 and mpc2k and XL.....I read an article I think either on havoc or some producer and his take was...

    Sampling MP3's

    Exactly I mean you can sample from anything....I mean vinyl is the best but if somebody recorded the song correctly from vinyl then you will not tell the difference.......I bought a cd from someone on EBAY and I had much doubt that I threw away my 25 dollars....but when I got it I found that...

    midi cables...need help

    Midi is needed if you want to do any kind of production in the digital world.....it is nothing but 0's and 1's.....think of it a way to trigger a sound and along with that the information about how hard you hit the trigger or how long you press it (you might use a controller to trigger or a drum...

    midi cables...need help

    You need the cable with the Y adapter that connects to the joystick port if you use the pc as a controller or to connect the keyboard......if you connect the Y cable the single end connects to the joystick port and the other two ends of the Y are midi in and midi out......the midi out of the...

    Chat room

    I think chat rooms are ok and yeah people can be agressive but that's um naturally a human trait, also on the point of less posts just think how many posts are not even relevant......LOL I think it's more direct than posting back and forth if you have the option those that use it will use it and...

    This is a recording studio mastering house that does stuff for artists all over about 5 minutes from my house, I have been in there like 2 or three times they use nuendo a lot and just look at their list of mastered albums....they also use their own in house mastering editor something called...

    keyboard beats easier than sampling

    GOD 101: Getting Signed to a Major Label

    Exactly, I think I talked about this last year or some time anyhow, A&R's always tell you we are looking for the sound of tomorrow....LOL....or they need a new sound for one of their up and coming Artists......back awhile ago I did some Toni Braxton submissions to get on her project....now see...

    keyboard beats easier than sampling

    Truth you are right basically both skills merge at some point...I mean if you know how to use a sample then you probably know how to resample your own riffs....but either way you got like I said earlier arrangement is the common denominator.....I think that there is an argument though not even...

    Built-In Sounds?

    Afrique I didn't know that they actually speak ebonics (not using ebonic in a derogatory but that's the only way I can describe it, somebody got offended when I asked them about that and used the word...well I'm black I don't take it personally)..... in Europe like over here in my hood where...

    keyboard beats easier than sampling

    The classic example of a formula is Timbo......I mean he either changes the bpm....or changes the accent.....or substitutes claps or other percussion and might move the downbeat.....but basically most of his patterns are based upon a simple....1 2 &3, 1 2&3....you know the kick, kick &...
