    Clarity in Vocals?

    Lol. You can bet Jay-Z is using the best gear money can buy. I'm sure he's using some type of ridiculously expensive Neumann mics, or something similar. With that being said, you should be able to get a decent vocal take with any microphone available to you. Always try to get the best take...

    Mixcraft vs. Pro Tools

    Ya I agree, not just engineering chops, but producing chops. FL ships with some songs produced by 'name' producers, and I must admit, some of that shit sounds good, even though they're more techno-type tracks. Once you get some vocals and effects on it's really hard to tell where it was made. H

    so, you think the Beat Thang's a toy?

    It def looks cool....I just don't know why they didn't show more of its beat-making abilities in the video. That was 10 minutes of showing off the lights and features without actually playing anything! (I think they played a short sample for a couple secs..)

    How much are these supposed to sell for? H

    Mixcraft vs. Pro Tools

    Get an SM 57 or 58. They're the studio standard and you can pretty much record anything with them. It all depends on what you're going to be recording though. H

    Mixcraft vs. Pro Tools

    There's honestly no single program that's 100% perfect.

    Bass Changes Kicks

    Ya I agree with what has been said. I think you turn down the bass a bit and the kick up a bit, and also make sure the kick is in key with the bass and overall chord structure of the song. Also, it may just be my ears, but I feel like the bass is a bit out of tune with the piano. I know...

    Does wealth make you special?

    Well I think it's obvious that you shouldn't be treated differently due to your income. However I think we all know that people ARE treated differently because of their income, and that will never change. At the very core of it however, it's just business. For example, rockstars don't pay for...

    The Whole Process

    Well, if you wanted them to hear the file, you could send them an mp3, that way they get the idea of the song, even though the quality won't be the greatest. They wouldn't record over that beat though because serious rappers would want to record over the raw wave files, not an mp3. With all...

    real hip hop today

    Sampling will never truly DIE, it's just so hard to sample these days and get away with it. Now obviously if you're not making money, no one is going to give a shit, but I think everyone here that's serious about the art wants to someday make some money from doing it, and when that point comes...

    real hip hop today

    I think sampling is dead. Unless you're Rihanna and can afford to buy any sample you want... I think producers are just going to use what they have. I think there's going to be a movement back to acoustic music.

    The Whole Process

    I'll try and answer whatever I can. First off, feel free to send your beats to anyone to listen. If anyone is going to do anything with them, they'll likely need all your files and separate tracks, so don't get paranoid about having someone steal your shit. Contracts are generally signed when...

    Muting sections of patterns

    Thanks man. I figured the easiest way would be to just create a new pattern, but I wanted something quicker and more intuitive. H

    Muting sections of patterns

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows a good way to mute a small section of a pattern, and then have it come back in. For example, if I have my snare loop, let's say it's a 4 bar loop, is there anyway to just mute one beat of that loop without creating a whole new pattern? H
