    What in the cinnamon toast fuck is a mastering processor???

    If you cant hear the difference in your home setup then you definitely should not be mastering at home. Mastering is SOOO much more then compression. In fact Jack white is famous for not using any compression in the mastering stage. I dont think people can point it out and tell the different but...

    How many tracks?

    I have changed my workflow a bit in the last year. I am still a huge Reason user but I wanted to change my thinking so now I use Reason, Live, Maschine as my creative playgorund and then I mix everything in Logic. I checked a few mixes from the next Drunk Pedestrians record and with vocals and...

    How many tracks?

    Oh totally , that’s a different discussion all together. Is modern pop music fatiguing to listen to? Most of it sure is.

    How many tracks?

    yea I am writing orchestral music. Not recording it. therefore 100+ tracks I think the big guys like hans zimmer use 3-400+ tracks.

    How many tracks?

    Yes, if I am using 100+ tracks its full orchestration. For the average hip-hop song including vocals I am usually 20-30 tracks personally and that's considered pretty minimal.

    How many tracks?

    The amount of tracks in a song and the amount of instruments can vary greatly. Are we talking about the same thing here? For example a kick drum could take up 5 or more tracks but still be one instrument.

    How many tracks?

    I took his master class never saw him using three tracks ever. I’m all for minimalism for sure, but commercial hip hop requires quite a bit. That being said I have done whole records with four. Hell sargent pepper is one of the greatest records ever made and it was four tracks.

    How many tracks?

    Yea but I promise when Timbaland tracks out his stuff for mixing ( Timbaland doesnt mix his own stuff mind you) that he is in the 50-80 track territory.
  14. thedreampolice

    How many tracks?

    If I’m doing orchestration I can easily get up to 200 tracks. For hip hop I have done plenty with 4 tracks. I probably average around 20-30 for a hip hop song.

    Who/How/What To Study Regarding Music Production

    I would learn music theory as much as possible, but honestly make a few beats everyday for like a year and you will learn a ton!

    Who do YOU think are the best Hip Hop producers of all-time?

    Kanye pushed hip hop forward in the 2000's Dre did it in the 90's I think the impact of those two on hip hop was the greatest. Of course, I love Pete Rock and Alchemist but their music did drive the whole decade. Like Kanye's and Dre's did.

    Good free software for beginners ?

    Yea I’m calling spam here. On top of that MuseScore is amazing but it’s notation software, not really for making beats at all.

    Tell Me - Is Sonar capable of competing with ProTools?

    Talk about bringing back an old thread, but we know who won this battle. Sonar is a dead product even with band labs involvement and pro tools still rules the world.

    When the A Cappella Group Already Has One Black Guy (feat. Bo Burnham) - Key & Peele

    For me its this one. I have felt this way about continental breakfasts since I was a kid and this nails it.
