    Best Digger

    I had a discussion with my cuz from NY. He was saying that P. Diddy (or whoeverr does his beats) was the greatest at taking original samples and flipping them properly... I was saying DJ Premier was no 1, but I wonder what y'all think...

    Ill Glossary...

    I just read a thread on a plugin I didn't know about... and that happened a lot since I'm here. I think a lot of cats here know a whole lot about effects and generators... If someone could find a website where most of those are explained, that would be nice... Lets start with the basics...

    the 4 elements

    I was at a B-Boy competition last night, it was my 1st time. I didn't know there were some in Montreal, but that made me wonder about those 4 sacred elements: DJing MCing Breaking Grafiti And I think, later on, Beatboxing entered in there making it the 5th element... My questions...

    Progression and chords

    I just started to try to learn about chords, progressions, and all of that... by myself... there are a lot of web sites about the subject. I already took classes, so I know the basics( really ONLY the basics), but I'm wondering if there is a better way (except getting a teacher and all) to...

    Turntable advices

    I know that this happens to others... I was walking to my friends house when I saw a crate full of vinyls in a garage sale... There was some great vinyls there... and they where real cheap (like a quarter each). So I bought them... but I dont have a turntable. Yeah, this is kind of...

    Automato and RJD2 are coming to Mtl

    I heard (read) a couple of times y'all talking about RJD2, but, to be frank, I dont know what he does, how he makes beats for, or anything. Also, I dont know who Automato is... Actually, both of them are coming to Montreal for the International Jazz Fest of Montreal. Jokes aside, if you wanna...

    Robotic sounding/fake programmed sounding drums

    I was just wondering about this. A lot of cats here say that they don't like Robotic sounding/fake programmed sounding drums... I can understand, to some extent that a drum can sound TOO squared and have no feel at all, but it's not always a bad thing. I was listening to Mobb Deep (the latest)...

    IllMuzik Radio (what do you prefer?)

    I was just wondering, cuz... well it's a radio show, so I would think people would prefer complete beats with lyrics, but then again, this is a producer forum, so maybe people would prefer to listen to the beat by themselves...

    What's your contribution...

    I know a lot of members here are making moves. But I'm just wondering. What are you great accomplishments in the hiphop scene, where you're at? Did you already do collabs with known artists? Did you do a CD that is sold in record stores? Maybe we have a big producer in our ranks that is hiding...

    Your favorite vsti(s)

    I just got my hands on two very nice VST instruments... made a couple of beats with them... And they sound so nice! I dont know if it's the same for others, but when I do a beat, sometimes, I have the idea in my head even before I start working, but then sometimes, the sound of the instruments...

    This feels so good!!!

    A tight beat!!!! This feels so good!!! I pretty sure this happens to most of y'all. I just made a tight beat (just finished it... it's 00h40...), and, to me, it's the best I ever done. It's the kind of beat that I would listen to in my car... windows down... in winter... in Canada...lol. This...

    about the showcase

    I was just wondering... that do you use the showcase for? I'm not saying it's useless (au contraire!) I'm just wondering. Do you use it: -So people can listen to what you do? -To see if people like your tracks? -To have comments on your tracks (so you can make improvements) -To be known...

    Smack DVD...

    Has anyone been listening/buying that Smack DVD? I was with my boys, and one of them popped one in the DVD. There was that kid in a car with his friend, rhyming on a Cam'ron beat (at least, I think it was a Cam beat...). The kid killed the beat... he was on fire! Well, I'm just wondering...

    Kill BloodClott Bill, vol 1!!!!

    I got my hand on some hot ishhh.... KArdinal Offishal Mixtape "Kill BloodClott Bill". This LP is HOT! He's spitting on the "Lean Back" beat and his remix is WAY BETTER than the original in my book. He also has that Bang Bang song (from Kill Bill) and the Guerilla Black's Compton beat...

    The next step after fruity...

    I want to have a more professional sound to my beats. I do use Fruity (and probably always will) but I cant seem to be satisfied with the sound it gives off. What would (should/could) be the next thing I'm aiming at? By the way, don't take the beats I have in SoundClick as reference. I dont...
