    Do you believe in mentors?

    I def agree with you, coming from working in a big studio environment. You don't need to record in a big studio for it to sound good. What I do suggest if having a professional engineer mix your records, and that will make all the difference. Record the shit at home, MBox, decent mic. If you...

    Disco D Story in Village Voice

    Dahkter hit me on myspace about this and wanted my opinions on it. I knew Disco. I don't know if I would have considered him a friend, because we mostly just spoke to each other on a business level. I gave him a bunch of my beats, and he gave me a bunch of his, and we were both shopping each...

    Why WE need Kanye West

    objektivone, you don't know what a producer really is. Kanye definitely oversee's his whole project and produces it. I've worked with him on several occasions and yes he's got help, but it's his vision, and he oversees every minor detail. I've heard about half of the new album just from...

    First mix on a major album

    The producer wasn't there when I mixed the record. Reefa produced it (One Blood by Game). I know him fairly well, so there was a certain amuont of trust. Also, Duro exec produced the album, and hes one of the top mix engineers in the game. So at the end of the day, Reefa knew it would have...

    It depends on your role. I'm his engineer so I get my engineering rate. Everyone else has different roles so it varies.

    When Recording Vocals

    It's good to compress vocal on the way in, as well as on your mix via plugins. On the way in you wanna get about 3-4db of compression. This will level out most of your vocals. Then another 3-4 db in your mix. Obviousl EQ to taste etc, but compressors are great to level out vocals. Shit...

    Full-Time or Part-Time?

    I was not in the greatest position financially, but I found a way to make it work. I was livin on the bare minimum. If you want it bad enough, you'll always find a way to make it work As for Jason's question. I went to school for engineering. And of course I do my production thing as...

    Full-Time or Part-Time?

    Wattup. Well, working in the studio, to start out, 1. Be willing to work for free 2. Keep your mouth shut (the dont speak unless spoken to rule can really go a long way here) 3. Work as many hours as possible to prove how hungry you are. I was doing 120 hour weeks unpaid when I started I...

    Full-Time or Part-Time?

    Anybody here can do it, if they have the right hustle. This business is not meant for everyone. The majority of people can't handle it, and the industry spits them out very quickly. I see it all the time.
