    The Officical Illmuzik Producers' 2008 Resolution Thread (Post Yours)

    I feel you on the home studio Relic, I finally got my equipment back downstairs, and spent a while hooking all my equipment back up. Just to have music playing from my turntable was good feeling for me. The biggest pain is that I had all my cables labeled/color coded but when I hooked...

    Benefits of being in a crew?

    What we've recently started doing is taking time before we start working on new material is show up to the spot with new music or rough ideas and brainstorm on how to make each beat/song that is played - improve in a constructive way. I think that making beats that you know everybody is...

    Benefits of being in a crew?

    The main benefit for a producer especially is it shortens the learning curve. You can learn more than one way to approach making tracks, sampling, recording etc. Also, with more people within a collective, you have fresh new ideas and constant inspiration. I started out working with somebody...

    The Officical Illmuzik Producers' 2008 Resolution Thread (Post Yours)

    Music conferences- your experiences and suggestions.

    I'm actually working on putting my own together in the near future so this topic is near and dear to my heart and current interests. To answer your question, I have NEVER went to any industry conference and not benefitted. I always go prepared with promo materials, biz cards, and most...

    New Photoshoot Pics ... Me & My Artist Cambatta

    Thaaaank you - just because it's a photo shoot for a hip hop artist don't mean they gotta be in the crackspot w/ broken bottles, mean mugs, and pistols blazing. Nowadays, making albums and touring is just one piece of the pie, he just might be able to earn a modeling check if he play his...

    New Photoshoot Pics ... Me & My Artist Cambatta

    Pic 1, Pic3, and 4 (with the fence backdrop) are the best ones - If I were you, those would be the ones (out of what you presented) that I would use in your Press Kit. You're using a quality camera, which is good. Stay away from shots like the one with the two dudes (one with the Yankees...

    What's you favorite era and genre in non-hiphop related music

    My favorite: 90's Dancehall Music - "Shabba!" lol The best in my opinion is 60s-70s classic rock. Soooooooooooooo many great albums came out during that era. I go digging for those records, not to sample, but just to listen all the way thru and check out the cover art etc.

    Feeling Shook

    Good point. Most people don't understand how much time that most of the top producers put into becoming who they are. It's like when a guy says "I wanna sound like the Neptunes" I really don't think people realize that these dudes been in the game for a minute. I mean, Pharell produced the...

    Feeling Shook

    First off - comparison is the starting point for all unhappiness. What other producers may be/do/or have is really smalltime thinking in comparison to what you can do and become IF you take the time to honestly assess where you're at and FOCUS on improving. Secondly - A large % of your...

    So I kicked this b**** out of my studio midsession last night..

    Good story. Your first mistake was allowing the $$$$ to interfere with your better judgement - Your gut will take you a lot further than your wallet. She wouldn't have made it 10 minutes with me: For some reason - I really don't tolerate the "Hollywood attitude" from any industry...

    Producer's bio...

    =================== Your advice is the main reason why anybody who is serious about their career should just seek out a good bio writer. The key here is that a good writer can take the accomplishments of a producer and embellish - it is very difficult for somebody to write well about...

    UGK's Pimp C found dead in hotel room

    I'm kinda down about this bad news - Since this is a hip hop production site, it's my duty to make sure y'all know that Pimp Chad was one of the most under-rated producers the hip hop game has ever seen. He wasn't just the lesser half of UGK. He arranged all the music, handled all...

    UGK's Pimp C found dead in hotel room

    It's because there is no code to the streets these days. Back in the 80's - early 90's, everything was separate and none of those clicks mixed. If you was an athlete or musician, you would stay in your lane - the most important thing is when an athlete or musician tried to kick it with street...

    Every life has it's soundtrack

    Good topic - It is said that music is the soundtrack to life with that being said I would have to think hard about that one - a movie that sums up my youth would be the indie flick KIDS. Here's a few songs I would choose though: Peter Tosh Bob Marley 90% of their respective catalogs...

    What are the 10 Ten Producer Tips ever

    You gotta swim with the sharks and know when they are coming and its all good. I haven't went to an industry conference that hasn't benefitted me - A lotta artists/producers don't know how to present themselves or network or follow up when they do get a contact. The beauty of a conference...

    Producer's bio...

    Producer Press Kits/Bios are a lil' bit different from your standard artist press kit due to the fact that they are marketed differently. The fundamental difference is Artists are marketed by what's "now" or what they are doing currently and producers are marketed by their entire body of...

    Know of any good video editing software?

    Vegas has a simple learning curve but gets the job done. Pinnacle is also fairly simple as well.
