    Keyboard Sound Banks? Do They Exist?

    Those kind of samples are good but for the most part you are better off buying the module....there's like a 1000 different things that the module does as far fx that the flat resampled wave file just shorts you big time on.......the flat wave sound is only 1 snapshot of what the actual rom does...

    GOD 101: Getting Signed to a Major Label

    Imma tell ya'll like this.........I don't argue with GOD....but the bottom line is the odds are stacked against you getting signed to a Major label.....there SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many producers....SOOOOOOOOOOOO many artists the competition pool has never been like this ever.......indie labels...

    keyboard beats easier than sampling

    Formant what you said is right....the whole reason why people sample is not only does it sound good is that..........you are borrowing the musician and his countless hours to perfect the riff ro composition, you are borrowing the writer......you are borrowing all of the multimillion dollar...

    bass!!!

    USe filters and learn how to roll certain parts of the bass off in your mix to avoid the muddiness....unless you making some tracks you want to be gritty and not so pleasing on the ear....

    how many records...

    I think that you can start off sampling....the best thing to do to start is snatch a 4 bar loop from say issaac hayes or some soul shidd....then get the loop going......then you can chop the loop into a REXX or some other slicer...or soundforge....then you can isolate your kicks, snares...

    Ok - Vote of hands...

    50/50.....sometimes I use the Grid or Step method to sequence....but the key to that is going back and adding realistic velocity afterwards......the reason why I prefer to program drums in realtime is that I can kill 2 things once and get the feel that I want the drumtrack to have right off the...

    Production techiques post here

    learning how to Rolloff bass properly and leave enuff air in your mix between 0 and your mix peaks.....especially if you like sub like I do.....the reason why there are formulas for that is because you want to have the track sound exactly the same in a computer speaker system or a 100,000 dollar...

    keyboard beats easier than sampling

    Look I think that to really be creative you can use both a keyboard and samples from vinyl.......or better yet if you have keyboard that resamples......do you know what you can do with that????? you can make you your own riff or melody then take it and chop it or spread it across the keyboard...

    What about Manny Fresh?????

    Oh yeah ok let me simplify, i think Lil John and a lot of the production out the South is hot.....(even though I am not feeling the MC's or rappers that much)........what I am saying is that his patterns are all very well put together and arranged......basically he just transposed realistic drum...

    Drum Tracks

    I use cubase or Fruityloops right now until I get all of my new studio gear in, I have been on the software kick for about the last 8 months and I can't wait...LOL

    sp303

    that's a good choice especially if you got good samples its way faster to load say Fruity loops or another software sampler and there's not a lot really special about the sp-303 sampling engine or anything like say....the mpc or sp12XX vintage samplers, so for that I see software maybe being the...

    Hip Hop BPM: Beats Per Minute for DJ's

    I think that you should definitely be able to tell BPM's by ear....I think this is useful though if you need a scratch pad for MC's I mean I work with a rack of artists that never know what BPM's they really like to feel comfortable with.....it helps when you got a new artist and are feeling out...

    What about Manny Fresh?????

    definitely.....the reason why he really is fugging with Timbo is he uses real drum patterns based on guess what??????...I dunno how many of ya'll actually play the drums or were in say a marching band.....DRUM RUDIMENTS and patterns except adding swing and accents ----you might hear basic...

    i feel like a beat battle...

    Man the Last time U both battled I kind of thought it was a pretty good matchup........now who else in here feels worthy?

    sp303

    I bought the new model...the sp-505...I took it back within a day...it fuggin loads samples very slow....so I dunno how Madlib uses the sp-303 but I know a few people that make some dope beats with it..... This article is an excerpt about Madlib...along with a link to the whole article...

    What about Manny Fresh?????

    Mannie Fresh is tite.......there's a lot of soul sample producers following Kanye and Blaze....but fugg that .....I challenge you to use what the Dirty south producers do with a lot of their tracks....I mean this (production is an art...but who really cares if it don't sound like Primo or...

    ***Vinyl Turntables vs. CD Turntables***

    If your'e spinning mostly new music and not oldies then go with either one....there is not a huge difference between vinyl and cd nowadays..back in the day and old records there was a big difference or even if you put an old record onto your tables and spin, we'll have the ol analog vs digital...

    Fade go ahead and tell us the truth you are typing this from the prison library on your good behavior time right...????

    ok, all you keyboarders.... resources please

    Look the best thing for you to do is to start hanging out with musicians and go to some live music, you know smoke filled clubs with a hot live band and start listen to some funked out shidd or neo soul laced with ol school RNB......and to even help you out a lil more.....take your skills to a...
