    What would ya'll do?

    Yeah, I hope this isnt considered thread jacking but I have a similar opportunity. Do I want to do something I think theyll like based on what I know they liked before? (who wants to go back in time? Been there, done that.... Right?) Or do I just give them what I like a cross my fingers? Cuz if...

    Production What about beatmakers that dont know basic music theory

    Funny analogies for sampling... Sampling is fucked up because the wrong people arengetting paid and the wrong people have the power. If I grab a three seconds of muted trumpet, chop it into .5 second bites, stomp em till the depth is similar to Atari 2600 strength, and team the chops up with an...

    Producers Block

    Awesome answers, I like this sentiment right here. Beatmaking is kinda like any other form of construction, measure cut fasten. Undo makes it harmless Personality makes it art If its work, thats why its not working, relax, focus on something else. Your skill is not an issue, and the art will...

    Singers that don't know basic music theory?!

    I have to constantly tell people, bars is bars... There is no different way to count them I may have made three beats that are not 4/4, and those were special projects for myself. So its basically just counting to four, I ridicule them. I shame them into understanding if they refuse to follow...

    How Does The Mixing Process Effect The Outcome Of A Beat?

    I cant believe this topic is over. I would love to know, from the selling beatmakers, to what extent should I beat myself up on the mix? Its a pain to me, tho I do find it rewarding, Id prefer to start the next beat. Help?
