    Ok, so i'm finally making money at this. the latest moves from Cold.

    I've noticed that these days many emcees are looking for many different sounds, not just one that defines them. Shady(strings), G-Unit(piano), Lil John(that synth he always uses), all have signature sound because of the sounds they repeatively use. How are you going to manage this Cold, cuz what...

    Will Karl Malone resume his career ?

    I hope he does come back. Malone is a class act. At 41 he can still paly better than 80% of starting forward in the league. If he plays for San Antonio, then they have a good chance to get to the finals again.

    beat sales

    From what I can see, the majority of people involved (or want to be) in the rap game are busters who knew somebody. Thats how the world works... I know. These busters want something for nothing. Like I said in another post, rappers/emcees come a dime a dozen. I'm in the same boat w/ ya'll. I...

    MIxtapes?

    Yo Deca, I've been wondering the same thing about the mixtape business. I read an article w/ Dj Whoo Kid, and that cat states that he ain't even really a Dj. He just pushes buttons. So the fact that someone puts for promotional use only on the tape, is what makes it legal for you to push a...

    Artist got signed from demo i produced

    Yeah man, you should definately stay up w/ that cat and find out how much influence your tracks had on the label's decision to sign him. I think that rappers come a dime a dozen and its startin to be like that w/ producers. Hip-hop/rap would be nothing without grimmee ass beats. You said that...

    Racks or Keyboards!?

    It really doen't matter what equipment you work with. Its all about what you can do with it. The mind is actually the key. I have a nice set up, and as of now I cant produce anything close to what the top notchers on this site are doing, such as Afrique, who works with minimal resources. I can...

    what is layering?

    Layering is just that, laying shit on top of shit(sounds). Lets not forget to pan sounds slighty differently so that you don't have instruments drowning eachother out. Such as layering a string and bass. Both are are or can be deep, so you want to pan accordingly.

    Southside, Midwest, East, or West coast??

    East coast packs the most. Every side has they're shining stars, but east coast flava is just raw. East coast niggas think. South niggas? I mean how hard is it to know that everyone would like an SUV on 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s? Thats a gimme. Nigga, say some shit that sparks a neuron. Just cause you...

    neptunes or timbaland

    Well then hows he do it? Is he just one hell of a programmer? I mean I don't play instruments either but I still do the majority of my beats live. I wonder if Timbo brings in musicians to play the parts he's hearing in his head, like Dr. Dre does? Timbo probably comes up with some dope ideas on...

    neptunes or timbaland

    Hey did ya'll know the Neptunens and Timbo are from the same area in VA? Did you know that Timbo used to be in a group with Pharell and Chad when they were younger? So its no wonder that they both make slammin beats along with the fact that some their beats can be mistaken for eachothers. No one...

    Creating Samples To Use In Reason

    Reason? So Dr. Rex isn't a toned down version of Recycle? What does Dr. Rex do then? Just play .rex files? And can you sample into reason or do have to sample in another program and then save as a wave file to transport to reason?

    Waste of time?

    I think about whether or not I'll make it all the time. Desire, knowledge, heart, and persistence are all key to the struggle. Although it does help to know someone in the business as with every business. Sadly it comes down to who you know if you want to make it "BIG". I'm not too concerned...

    Do You Suffer For This?

    I'm a college student who comes from a single parent family. Every semester I use my student loans to beef up my studio. I figure fuck it, I'm gonna owe $40,000g's when I'm done with school, but I'll have $20,000g's worth of equipment, a new car, eat good, sleep good, take a few trips for spring...

    What program should I buy?

    I have a mac g4. I'm leaning towards digital performer, pro tools, or cubase producer pack. I was getting hype on the pro tools mbox, but I read something about latency and I don't even know what that exactly means. I think it has something to do with recording late. I guess I would have some...
