    im really curious

    i had to examine this question for myself and this is the answer i came up with for me. i had to basically look at why i was making music. if you're making music as a business to earn money, then you have to conduct yourself in that way. you make beats that people will want to pay money for...

    this flip's not that great: http://www.zshare.net/audio/14590603ee0abc93/ to me...this sample isn't worth flipping. all i really want to do is loop 16 bars of it and rhyme on it. (which i'm doing) but i did this just to be a good sport. ---------------- Now playing: jbeezy...

    need help making a show cd?

    yeah. i think what you need will be dictated by how you perform. if you're gonna have an army of dudes on stage with you doing background vocals then you probably need just an instrumental and maybe some elements of the hook if necessary. if you're by yourself then having backing vocals and the...

    logic 8 vs live ?

    tell'em LDB. i've been hooked on that ableton WARP for years. best tool in music producing today. I swear by Live. the only software that made me sell my ASR. if it could handle recording vox better i wouldn't need anything else.

    i'm a big ty fan as well. didn't know he was bobby mcferrins son though. i think thats a collab that needs to happen. i like jehst and older klashnekoff stuff. roots manuva i dig, but not so much dizzee rascal. i think the uk scene is the same as most hip hop scenes around the world. the...

    hard hitting snares

    layering: add a clap, snap, open hi hat or high pitched snare over your regular snare. compression: go about 7 to 1 ratio and push the threshhold up close to 0. you'll probably have to back off the volume a bit sound choice: choose a good strong snare to begin with. compostion: position your...

    So.. Im doing a beat Battle-(sponserd by illmind)

    damn. they working the hell out of y'all. the competition seems a little long. i would think the crowd would start to fade by round 68 where you have to remix a philadelphia based club banger from the third quarter of 1998.
