    Good Bassline....

    this is something i was doing a long time before i started producing music. it has helped me enormously. Frankie, your question has obviously been interpreted in two very different ways. you really need to be more specific with the wording of your question. everyone 'hears' music, but very...

    why i like sampling(a composer's view)

    a lot of older vst's suck ass too. i used to use them in Qbase 5 before I went semi-hardware. point taken, it would be very hard to emulate the record sound, particularly sampled instruments...doesnt mean it cant be done tho... but as if anyone could be stuffed! most people would try to find a...

    why i like sampling(a composer's view)

    well, obviously, FL Studio isnt gonna create 'real' sounds anyway, especially if your using nasty FL string presets in the piano roll! secondly, a very close to real sound is possible to create by composing, with the right equipment (strings in particular). one could even put it together in FL...

    why i like sampling(a composer's view)

    yeah but the whole of 'hip-hop' doesnt just consist of just Gangstarr and Rza. your pigeon-holing a specific style. and nearly ALL music loops, at some stage; that much is obvious. creating variations in a composition gives it the notion that it is changing. its something i will admit i have...

    mixing and mastering

    first of all, they're both two different things. however, they're both as important as each other if you want a song to be finished correctly. mixing mainly involves the volume adjustment of each individual track within a song: bass, kick, snare, vocals etc. mastering mainly consists of the...

    What is an .NRG file?

    If anyone is familiar with the sample cds distributed by companies such as Pro Samples or Best Service or Time & Space, you might be able to help me out... I'm thinking of buying a Pro-Samples cd. I found out that some of their cds are in a format which has the extension .nrg at the end of...

    MC's

    Hobgoblin - LOL, yes lets all diss Will Smith, he's a happy-go-lucky-movie-rapper :) he was alright when I was 12 years old!... just kidding! Couldn't agree more tho with your comments. And its where your located for sure. Hip hop began in America, of course it easier to find a decent MC, any...

    quick poll for the Illmuzik massive

    I like discussions on politics and religion. Its good they are discussed on illmuzik, it gives everyone a chance to voice an opinion, we learn a lot about one another. No discussion on politics gets as uncontrollable as religion tho. People may think they can control themselves but things...

    Gone 48bit / 96Khz

    I heard Dr. Dre records at 96Khz and mixes final tracks down to a lower res. Don't know how true my sources are but it would seem pointless to reduce the bitrate from something super hi fi to something more than half the quality. Maybe he doesn't actually reduce the bitrate, maybe thats why his...

    three 6 mafia style hihats in fl studio....

    It doesn't matter what tempo the track is, all they do is put a hihat every 16th instead of every 8th of a bar, as far as sequencing software goes, its called "quantizing". There will be an option in FL Studio to customize this feature, just look at the top of your drum map or drum sequencer for...

    For Those of You who play Instruments...

    Nicely put, Bloody, that's a very good point. I would agree that most ppl who are good at music, regardless of their methods, will try to emulate the majority genre that they listen to. I would say this is true for many amateur producers, but of course we can't forget the ppl who can bust out...

    For Those of You who play Instruments...

    Training in music can also restrict you in terms of trying new things. As has been said earlier, some people who are trained can play music from sheets great but when it comes to original stuff they kinda get stuck, because they are familiar with certain standards and conventions which some...
