    Westcoast

    Man you might be right but I got tons of tracks on spindles and archived and I think most producers on here might also......but the thing is there's probably producers that won't ever sell a track too but doing it for the luv....but UR right I have at least 6 artists and they have bought beats...

    backup vocals and dub trax

    I take the approach of not putting any effect on the vocal unless the MC requests it or only if I feel it would not harm the natural sound......but hip hop artists that I know and work with generally use ad libs or they go back and double up and emphasize words and hooks(not the whole...

    *Question about my mixer...

    They sound like 1/4 inch inputs, never seen them not labeled on a mixer to be honest...you can hook....up a cd or other audio device to the rca inputs with cd1 and phono your choice....the lil record jack is likely a cueing line or sync input...not too sure about that just guessing

    Taking from one song to make your own

    K.O. let me school you, what you just described is called an interpolation and if you try it and press it up and sell it get ready for a lawsuit...just that simple....in production playing something over based on an original work is equivalent to using a sample...

    Dancehall is more uptempo and uses samples and ish.... some artists you can search for...Madd Cobra, Junior Cat, Bounty Killer, Sanchez...there are some newer ones than that though but just like hiphop dancehall was real hot back in the early to mid 90's...same time as house music....music...

    Harmonizing Samples?

    oh yeah the thing in using bass or guitar samples is they are real..to they produce odd and even harmonics...so if you have too much decay on the sample in a transition you get that funky harmonics that might not be satisfying to the ear...LOL

    Anyone Feeling Dancehall Artists Collabos

    Dancehall didn't fade too far if you know where the african and Jamaican clubs are but what it is a resurgance just like hiphop now so it would be wise to try and work with some artists too...it might be a perfect time to make a hit...also I had a request from two labels for some reason for a...

    Harmonizing Samples?

    Hoppa I hear ya, I got ripped by a panel on harmony....and that was doing some remixes, Bosco and few others were there and that was the number one thing that surprised me....most of the producers (already established) were focused in on things being in tune and the right keys....so now you see...
