    welllllllllllll. .... .. . . ... . heres what The Truth has to say....... first of all, do not hesitate to experiment with your sounds. speed up snares and thin them out with eq to make new hi hats.... layering s always a good thing, but they will still sound plain if all you are doing is...

    The 5 most influential producers in Rap ???

    no, its not sarcasm. i'm talkng about the fact that EVERYONE i meet says that they rap, and a lot of them have the same skill and vocal abilities........ in other words, not much of either one. everyone swears that they are "hot" i cant count how many guys i have TRIED to work with that werent...

    American History X

    all mexicans mow lawns, all minorities are on welfare, every hispanic MUST speak spanish, all asians own convenience stores.... stereotypes are always hilarious to people until its their group in the joke... but this movie was more about the poisining of a mans mind and what it took to renew...

    full, orchestral string sound....

    i want that full, rich string sound for certain things. does anyone have an idea of how to get it? i saw oceans eleven today, and there is a scene towards the end after they rob the casino and they are standing at this fountain, and the strings from the score are crazy here. there are multiple...

    The taboo topic!!

    hey theres also Bush... their first major album (to my knowledge), "sixteen stone", was one of the 5 best rock albums of the 90's...... (in my opinion) sarah mclaughlin (DONT laugh!!!!!) is nice too... there are so many artists outside of hip hop!!

    The taboo topic!!

    i dont think there is a "similarity".... he sounds like he's delibrately trying to sound like curtis.... i liked the music that he sang to better then his actual songs.

    The taboo topic!!

    well lets see.... i like this topic. i have to confess that i like that "doo wop" sound of the earls and drifters, and i think van morrison is one of the nicest cats from the 60's...creedance clearwater revival could show marvin gaye a thing or two about soul..... any of you ever heard a...

    Where do we go from here?

    most of us in the states havent heard those songs, so we couldnt agree with you. i would certainly take your word for it, because hip hop has always borrowed from other elements.

    Where do we go from here?

    yeah, they are proving that "they can rhyme better than the mainstream" but thats just the thing- thats the whole focus. they might not be out to make any real point, but they are still just as mindless as say, little john. you can sit in your room for hours and come up with some ill wordplay...

    Where do we go from here?

    well, nas took it there for a minute conceptually.... second childhood was an ill idea, but he flipped it in such a generic way lyrically,.. like when he sais "she's in her second childhood" i'm like, ok, whatever happened to subtlety? concepts like that are better alluded to, and when you come...

    So You Wanna Make Beats?

    i am self taught as well.... but reading things like remix magazine and electronic musician gave me a better understanding of midi, and there are resources that will help me still once i make the switch to software, and these resources will serve to expand my overall knowledge of producing. your...

    Where do we go from here?

    i personally think that the supposedly deep underground battle rhymes are just as shallow and played as the materialistic, thugged out and mysogonistic mainstream is...... with all the wordplay in the underground, people really arent saying much. which isnt to say that there is no talent there...

    So You Wanna Make Beats?

    why? that makes absolutely zero sense. why should you have to learn entirely on your own? if thats the case, then why bother joining a site like this one? look, for all of you who think you should learn on your own without any other outside influences....... dont ask any questions in the forums...

    Neptunes Biting Kid From Canada!!!!

    well, sampling and outright jacking are two different things. when we sample a record, we use it to make a completely new and different piece of work, unless you are kanye west and you just speed it up and put drums over it, and if you make any REAL money off of it, then you either pay royalties...

    Pentium 4 vs. Celeron

    well, i have been thinking about an Aardvark card.... one of the cheaper ones, like $350.... its an ASIO driver, which is what cubase sx recommends.

    Pentium 4 vs. Celeron

    hey.... the brand itself doesnt really matter, does it? i found a loded hp pavillion with a 2.6 ghz P4, 512 ram, 120 gig HD, windows xp, burner software, etc., for $550..... i know that the digi 001 with pro tools wont work for this particular brand, but it should work with cakewalk and cubase...
