    music theory/composition scale,keys,chords?

    Man , the first lame response i wasnt even gonna answer, but do yall last two dummys know how to read?!? What did both me and classic say, like numerous times and shit? Learn how to read, stop being so ignorant. No one here said that you need theory or that you will never get nowhere with out...

    Fight the power (The link between hip hop and politics)

    class is straight up right again, i mean comeon, which lyrics strike more of a chord with you: rass kass - nature of the threat or any tune by paris, or some lame ass cash money lyrics. We all sit here and whine about how misrepresented hiphop is nowadays with these wack ass cats on the...

    music theory/composition scale,keys,chords?

    Yeah class is right man. I myself too was making and playing music for the longest time, with nothing but my ears and my feeling, I have that natural ability and a good ear too (this is not arrogance, its honesty, i aint sayin im beethoven either). I started learning theory not very long...

    Very understandable my friend :D, he is one of the gods ;) Was he at that same festival type thing you went to, or did you miss him to go to that festival, cause if so, that probably pisses you off even more hehehe lol ;P peace

    music theory/composition scale,keys,chords?

    word thnx class ;) I play numerous instruments, my main instrument up until recently was guitar. I even played bass guitar in some lame ass grunge band for a while (did two live performances with that.) I can jam the drums too, and my current main favorite instrument as you can guess is...

    music theory/composition scale,keys,chords?

    this is a very broad topic. You cant just come on here and say ' teach me music theory', because first of all, noone even has any idea what you already do know? There is waaaay more to music theory than just some scales, chords and keys. And jazz/blues is like a sub-section of the theory...

    Some beat making videos.

    to each his own man. Dont stereotype, dub j has his own good techniques that work for him. Other people start with keyboard/piano and play the bass with their left hand and melody with their right, and then base their drums around that later on (this is thinkin more like a band). Just do what...

    Help with syncing keyboard with Reason

    dude, midi is midi, if it works in one program it'll work in the other, and if it dont work in FL, it aint gonna work in reason either. luckily midi keyboard never need much config. Do you have a keybaord with sounds in it and shit, or do you just have a keyboard/controller like me? the latter...

    I just ogt an Akai Multitrack for $15.

    Dude, that is slammin! Nice find! And you peeps who said tape is shit etc., well, that has certain advantages too :)! just like how some cats be looking for sp1200 to get gritty low quality sample sounds, tapes are very useful for a certain sound quality too. When you record something on to tape...

    Fundamentals!

    you man i been googlin' myself, and have read that hanon execrises are pretty much wack. especially for beginners, you can fuck up your fingers and tendons for real if you do it wrong/too much. besides, finger strength exercises are good, but how are you ever gonna learn to play pinao by doing...

    set ups

    equipment dont mean shit wether you are rich or poor. its all about your own feeling, talent and ears. there are people who can rok a comb with a piece of paper folded over it and make you nod your head, and there are peeps who have expensive this and hardware that and latest akai this who know...

    Fundamentals!

    you wanna learn how to play guitar, may i then suggest that you start off with a (not so expensive) nylon acoustic (spanish). The strings are light, very helpful in the beginning. you dont have to press down all the strings as hard to play to be able to play a chord without loud buzzes and...

    Fundamentals!

    classic, we are so on the same wavelength with this shit. The only thing i didnt completely agree with was having to have formal training to learn piano. Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Tori Amos to name just a few played godlike even before/if they ever got formal training, know what im saying. That...

    Chopping Breakbeats

    heh this topic is so for me. i chop breaks and shit all the time. one thing that i think usually sounds good straight out of the box without too much hassle is just using only those chopped up samples for your whole beat. Takes some listening to to figure out what sounds best where (eq...

    Question about Soundcards

    If you shell out several hundred for a proper soundcard you will have all the advantages my man above mentioned, plus good hardware ASIO support (meaning you can use your pc as a realtime effect box for your mic/guitar/bass for example), and the card will also usually have a number of dsp chips...

    Question for anybody who samples

    Question for anybody who samples

    Well, i for one thing put eq on just about everything, lots of parametric eqing. This question really really depends on the type of sample and what you want to do with it. Just like anything else in your music you are mxing, you are mixing it to fit in, be absent, or stand out in certain parts...

    The importance of DC correction

    Well, Im not sure about all of that, I just know that in my case it's due to several buggy coded buzz machines which produce output with dc offset. There are also numerous VST plugins and Im sure other types of homebrewed programs/plugins also suffer from output with dc offset. It may be...
