yeah I believe in the craft enuff to share with other producers when I can, I think that the main thing is just listening to enuff of it and then go to the drawing board....(The sequencer and go to work)............... but when you have step by step guides to make beats and hip hop it takes away from using your own ear and musical abilities to figure things out on your own that's all..but if you know absolutely nothing and just bought a piece of gear and you wanna make some hip hop music then I guess I can understand that......

Yeah that is kinda sad that it has to be broken down into "instructions" for making music D. I think it's mostly for younger people and neither of us is a spring chicken!

its gotta be natural... ok let me rephrase that... if u need instructions on how to produce a track... i suggest u quit because if u really have the passion for the craft u would have already figured it out... more then anything one must have an ear for music... that means one must have been bought up on the type of musc one is trying to create in order for it to even begin to resemble something great... i didnt even read the article it probably would have insulted my intelligence... for me that like looking at instructions on how to screw in a lite bulb... hip hop was always a learn as you go genre thats why it has grown so much over so little...

I disagree wholeheartedly... beat production is hard. I can garauntee that nobody has it completely on lock down on this site (loop production, sound shaping, waveform synthesis, filtering, mastering, layering, effects, acoustic engineering). I myself am extremely good at creating loops, filtering and dynamics... in fact, I'll say that I am better than most, but sometimes complete song construction evades me. Should I quit trying to produce because I only know 80% of my craft. Not going to happen, it is like everything else... I will learn it eventually.

I myself think that I may be too far along to benefit from the article, but a new producer could probably benefit greatly form having that as a springboard.
