Doing a video interview,,,need illfam....
That's a good idea - I got a bunch of on-camera stuff to record over the next few weeks, when the cameras rolling, I'll see if we can schedule a quick segment for you. To save time though, I may just shoot you the raw .avi file so you can edit it in, if you wait for me to edit, it will...- shadeed

Fuck Vh! I Hope They Die Slowly In Front Of There Families While Being Burned!!!
I don't co-sign 'who's the best lists' in most cases because it depends largely on where you're from. If I'm from the South, then Ball and G and UGK, ARE my RunDMC and EPMD. All that aside, Public Enemy had an impact beyond words and measure. There's no other group I could compare them to...- shadeed

what projects is everyone working on right now?
Current Projects: It's a whole lot of projects on the table - what people DON'T tell you when you work in and around this industry is how many offers and propositions you'll receive to do deals or partner up with "the next big thing". Learning how to say 'No' to many projects turns out to be...- shadeed

QUIZ: What type of Rapper should you be Producing for?
i should be producing for a "Classic Ripper" My feedback/opinion is that the quiz could actually be a good learning tool about scenarios especially for new producers -if- each question tied into what decisions a "newbie producer", "experienced producer" (for example) would make... -
Selling/Leasing Beats
Another option is using E-Junkie as a payment processor. You can upload the actual beat to their server so that upon payment , the customer is presented with a download link and you can set the time limit that the link is available to them.- shadeed

Smash Brothers Indie Planet Tv Interview
Thanks for the feedback. I knew Ash and Classic's music was good but in this business it takes more than good music to standout. The interview, especially the way the questions are asked, were delivered in a way to provoke thoughtful answers, which in turn, gives the viewer an insight into how...- shadeed

Jake the Snake Roberts ....NOW!!!
Jake was clearly under the influence during this clip - a regular fan came in the ring and attacked Jake around 3 minutes into the clip lol. 94 to 98 the height of wrestling??!! Cool. That's your opinion, but Shawn Michaels was still a member of the Rockers during the greatest era of...- shadeed

Since I have been in Audio school
**Free tip. If you're going to go to school for any type of production - go to school and learn VIDEO PRODUCTION AND EDITING . This is also not intended to discourage anybody from going to school to learn audio production/engineering at all but the entire method dictating how websites are... -
Since I have been in Audio school
This is the great riddle of life my friend. And how you solve it determines how far you go. The only way to gain experience is to experience. -
The God inks new deal!!!
I love Rakim as an artist, icon yada yada - but he's not doing anything to keep his diehard fanbase even remotely interested in his moves. He must be excellent with stocks and bonds or real estate because he is like the hip-hop Halley's Comet. Nas used to be like that too (disappear for 3... -
New Reason help from you guys...
I salute your ambition, writing a book is -not- an easy thing to do, but once its complete you're immortal, meaning you'll always be known as an author. With that being said, I think a solid FAQ questions section of the book in terms of basic setup. REWIRE is a big issue as well, maybe... -

360 degree contracts
It may be a "dumb" idea, but its the model that labels are shifting to. The label has the leverage, and if you haven't put in your groundwork as an indie, then you'll take the deal that's offered. MANY artists just like to focus on certain aspects of music (recording and/or performances) and... -
360 degree contracts
Sad thing is many artists who are currently on a label but aren't under 360 deals are not and will not be getting release dates anytime soon. So the next time an artist drops a new single that sells 3 million ringtones or claims to be making "$30 grand a show" please know that everything is... -
DNC in my city any ideas for marketing and promo
Make a song about Obama. It's worked exposure wise for 95% of the artists that have done it thus far. -
FREE beats at illmuzik? Your thoughts here
My comments are in blue font. Hopefully discussions like this lead to that improvement -
FREE beats at illmuzik? Your thoughts here
Monthly mixtape releases would be rushed - it would also dilute the quality of each release. Once a quarter (every 3 months) would give enough room to build membership (new producers wanting to be part of it) around each release, collab with emcees, and select the best songs to be included. -
FREE beats at illmuzik? Your thoughts here
Although the threadstarter and Avid have made EXCELLENT points, many of which I agree with, I'm more in alignment with consistently producing projects similar to the tape DJ Nice put together for Illmuzik. Maybe a mixtape series and change up the styles of music with each release. As... -
Who do you Producer for- as an overall goal?
======================================================== Primarily - I produce for my own love of music, competing against sound and my own perceived limitations to create "magic" in the studio. I like to drive around listening to my own music in my car too, for what its worth lol. I also... -
What gear changed your production style or sound?
Soundforge and Vegas- I use these two applications for almost everything I'm into including my earlier days of Podcasting, to do lists (lol), you name it... -Although Cool Edit allows you to multi-track (in comparison to Soundforge), I'm so used to Soundforge and its ease of use that I just edit...
