Can anyone point me in...

    Time Streching

    I'm confused on how to use it cuz I was practicing my sampling today, made all the chops and then went into getting the beat done, but I noticed that the chops didn't end at the end of the bar so I went back into Cool Edit and tried some time streching but I'm not sure how to use it. It's got a...

    Remixes

    Workin on a remix right now to help make my beats more "emcee attractive" cuz lately people have been saying that there's no way anyone could rhyme over my beats and I don't want that. But what I wanted to know if you're allowed to put them up for download on a soundclick site?

    Bass Question

    I was just wondering if you guys just use the same bass patch over and over for all your beats unless your doing something out of the ordinary or do you pick a certain bass for each beat you create? Cuz I was listening to LB's "The Minstrel Show" and wow, 9th is dope on the album and it seems...

    The Power Of Samples

    Wow, I'm an idiot man. When I first started making beats, I thought using samples were whack because it isn't your own piece of work, but now I'm looking beyond that. My friend gave me a CD with a whole bunch of samples like a month ago but never popped it into my computer until now. Been...

    Fight Klub 2

    Anyone see the battles on BET on Friday or Saturday, one of those days? They just showed the battle scenes and told you who won. I was kinda dissapointed by who won cuz it was Jin vs. Joe Serious(or something like that) and I mean, Jin was actually flowing and freestyling and the other dude came...

    Ahhhhhhhhh!

    Man, EQing these things are getting me pissed and I know I already made a thread about it, but I can't seem to get my mixes sounding like everyone elses with the drums kicking through nicely. Also, do you guys just lay one compression on a kick for example or multiple compressors? ANYTHING will...

    The Original Sound of Hip-Hop

    Just curious to know what it is since Hip-Hop is sample based and whenever I ask on other boards, no one seems to know the answer. A link to a song would be good.

    Exporting MIDI and Audio

    Whenever I export MIDI and then import it into Sonar, it splits the channels for me automatically and puts them into their own seperate track. But when I export Audio in FL and then import it back into to Sonar to be mixed, it doesn't come out as seperate channels, but instead comes out with all...

    Good Deal?

    Software or Hardware?

    When I say this, I'm talkin about sounds like horns, strings, etc. cuz lately when I get feed, people have been saying that my sounds sound "cheap". I don't know if it's because of my Motif Rack or what. And could someone list the pros and cons of software and hardware. Thanks.
