    A question for all the producers...

    Techno is a term like "Rap Music" its too broad. It usually turns people off. But mention house, techno bass, drum and bass, progressive disco and people are more likely to get excited. Daft Punk is awesome, cirrus, and down low records are tight.

    Sampling and Post modernism

    Think of this though, I grew up learning the tight oldies through hip hop. I didn't know the meters, the freddie hubbards, or idris muhammads until I studied the liner notes of hip hop albums to see where the samples came from. In the same regard, I bought many hip hop records based solely on...

    Sampling and Post modernism

    My thought was, why is intellectual property so much more over valued in music, than in the other arts. Why are musicians so much more inclined to sue or charge for quotations of there previous work. If anything, a new song that samples an older song, just makes the older one more relevant to...

    do u have this problem in ideas for a song??

    Titles For me the chorus comes quickly, its just a vocal extension of the groove. But I hace trouble writing enough tight verses. Im usually good for one maybe two, but I always feel one is stronger than the other, and I wish I had a trusted mc to take the track or supplement. Also I have a...

    Sampling and Post modernism

    Why is it that post modernism is so appreciated in the other arts (theatre, painting, sculpting, etc.) but in music its looked down upon and artists charge for samples. Artists like Roy Ayers embrace sampling of their works because they feel it makes them new again and therefore in the public's...

    Sampled Songs...

    Looping The sample loops can be sooo tight if the sample is obscure, bumpin, and fits with the context of the song(i.e. subject matter of the rhyme, or mood of the music) For me the key questions I think about before sampling loops are: has it been done before? How can I vary the groove? Will...

    Wholly Molly!!!

    Word I have trolled(visited) numerous hip hop, production, turntablism, and similar websites, and this is by far the best. IllMuzik is the first and only community site that I have registered with because it is the only one in which I have recognized a true commitment to audio production...

    recording vocals in your room

    Home recording for vocals The key is just to get a clean vocal. Boxy is better than noisy. Closet, bathroom, hallway, or wherever you can run the mic cord the farthest away from the noise. Buy some foam windscreens to put over the mic to decrease excess noise. Then with your clean vocal play...

    Rza Production

    I heard otherwise I have always heard that 36 chambers was done on 2 ensoniq eps 16+ sampling keyboards. On cribs i think he did have an sp 1200 but I don'd think he began using it until after this seminal album. By the way, the sp1200 is dope if you use it as a sound module in conjuction...

    what did u start producing with?

    FT Dub beginnings I began with 2 belt drive turntables from the pawn shop, a mtx mixer, a 12 second roland phrase sampler, and a tape deck. I worked with that for about 4 months before i found an sp1200 at a pawn shop for $650. I never looked back. Some of my most creative tracks came from...

    Ol Skool Heads

    Production revolutionaries Whether or not you like their voices, you've got to appreciate their innovations in recording. Their use of alternative mic techniques and mad effects on everything gives them an edge. The mics they use are from toys R Us, but they get phat sound out of em. And...
