    Hip Hop, Dying or Dead?

    i cant be arsed about whats well known, ill take mf doom over kanye, em or whatever anytime. I think kids these days are lazy, you dont know real hiphop if noone is putting down effort to find out whats out there. Aside from that, im 31 years old, i was talking crap about generation x in...

    Dunno if this happens to anyone else, but you ever noticed when working with MC's....

    lol sucio. Anyway, a good mc compliments your beats when there is room for it. I had some dope bangers but often it would take an opera singer to get up to par with the arrangment/instruments, just to overwhelming and leaves nothing for the voice. I even believe its not that hard to make a track...

    I Remember When...

    Like steezo, taping Yo. Most def ill communication, i wasnt so hooked on nwa or pe aside from a few tracks, most things broadcasted on Yo! werent available here so the next thing i bought was 3feet high n rising on tape (with proof of purchase on the back). Sometime later i got setup with...

    What do you focus on when making drums?

    ^^^ depends on ofc, not compressing drums is suiting when you use sample drums/chops. I often use clean drums, dry of anything. Chopped drumbreaks are already mastered, best way to go around to make those sound good is just leveling, your own mastering chain always fixes the rest.

    What do you focus on when making drums?

    1. select drums, setup envelopes if needed, hp filter for hat section, bp for perc. 2. assign drums to channels (duh) 3. route drumchannels to drumbus 4. setup eq - compression on drum channels and drum bus 5. work out a beat (incl. groove/swing...duh) After the rest of channels are...

    I have a theory that Kayne may try and off himself in 5 years or less.

    educate!

    What do you use for mastering your tracks?

    Well i think 98% of hiphopcats misinterpret what mastering implies and what's BENEFICIAL to be able to really master anything. ergo, wishful thinking lol. "owning" mastering plugins is probably the least demand for being able to do a mastering. Im not saying you need hardware to be able to...

    Black Lion Upgrade Worth it?

    lol, it was a joke haha damn so serious. On the real though, comp gate would only amplify the hissing more. The proper technique ( even though not flawless but proper enough )is to sample/analyse the noise in a daw/wave editor. You select a part of the sample where there is no music which...

    Black Lion Upgrade Worth it?

    EDIT: Another thing to consider (which is a problem that I have) is most of my music is sample based, the music that I heard on it was 100% composed, so if you do mostly sampled based music you're basically at the mercy of the quality of your samples. I'm having a real hard time cleaning up my...

    Black Lion Upgrade Worth it?

    You're talking about replacing parts like opamps, converters, something which is always useful (look at modified emu 1212M cards aswell for cheaper examples). You should understand that the value of such a modification is as good compared to the new converters out there, which ofc, always...
