    MIDI Keyboards

    Those small, patchless MIDI keyboards are MIDI controllers. Very useful for the studio setup with a good amount of MIDI gear (synths, modules, samplers) because if everything is connected in a practical manner you can trigger any device from just that one keyboard. You cannot load samples...

    How much do you charge?

    Money - the golden pot at the end of the production rainbow. I usually go with $200-500 a track, depending on what I hear about that person as an artist and if they have a lot of money to work with or not. Glad to see the site back up!

    What's up? I don't think there's any super super software that is going to give you the 400 Degreez sound easily. That's definately a Southern Rap classic - concerning the production of that album Mannie Fresh generally uses: MPC 2000 Various Yamaha Sounds Various Roland...

    Im new

    Once again, I agree with Fade, I started out by learning tracking/sequencing/sampling on the computer with Impulse Tracker (DOS) and ModPlug Tracker (For Win). Then I moved up to the MC-505. which allowed me to have good sounds and the ability to sequence them and make several sequences into a...

    I agree with Fade, I started out with a Roland MC-307 Groovebox, after I learned tracking/sequencer on the computer with Impulse Tracker (DOS) and ModPlug Tracker (For Win). The MC-505 allowed me to have good sounds and the ability to sequence them and make several sequences into a song. This...

    What's Your Studio Like?

    Right now I'm using the compression and phantom power/mic pre that's built-in the Roland 2480, but I want to get a Focusrite Red Dog tube pre-amp, and a Behringer tube compressor. Want that powerful in-your-face warm vocal. But I'm getting happier with my current recording/mix quality...

    What's Your Studio Like?

    Near Nashville :o) Umm yeah, I'm happy with my studio as it sits - fits all of my production needs, I just wanna start focusing on hi-fi outboard gear e.g. good good compressor (I just have good now), good good mic pre, vocal FX outboard, just a lot of nice rack gear, few more MIDI mods. I...

    reverb

    Reverb Issues Hmmm Production rule #1 - what's the mood/feel of the song like? Since most hip-hop/rap is straight ahead spittin' - less reverb is better. But you're also right - you know it's in there. The trick is to use a room or hall reverb - not too big of a space, 3.5 secs or...

    Kanye West

    A little funny side note: Manny Fresh, Swizz and Dre all were charging/charge over the $100K mark. Dr. Dre though apparently isn't all about the money - if he thinks what you did with the song is garbage - he'll give you your $100K back and take his track back. Hmmm - would I do this...?

    Kanye West

    Kanye is ill, the whole Bassline Studio production team especially Just Blaze and Kanye have the "up and coming" stranglehold on tracks. Guys - how much money can we make at this?!?!!?!?!? A LOT! I charge $300 per track for all of the local artists in Nashville $500 if I know you got...
