    Sennheiser HD280 Pro or BeyerDynamic DT 990 Pro

    I tend to lean Sennheiser but either one would do great for you.

    What If Hip Hop Began Without Sampling, But With Live Instrumentation?

    The roots is a good example of not sampling much at all. My music is also mostly live instruments. Its a great skill to have for sure.

    What Happened To Being A Specialist?

    I strongly think that Artists should not do everything themselves. I mean if you have no budget, then do everything yourself and get your music out. But to actually do this for real you need a team of people that I better then you at certain things. For example I will ALWAYS use a top end...

    Always, I mean ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL. Backup your work.

    yea man, I would at least get a free dropbox account and put your files in there. Thats at least 2gb backed up.

    oh shit, thats crazy. How much is it worth it if you lose everything though? How much data total do you have? Maybe the free version of dropbox would be enough?

    Dude if you cant afford a hard drive get backblaze like today. Its $5 a month and will backup everything. Well worth it! At some point your hard drive will fail. Maybe not this computer or the next but it happens to everyone. Get a good backup going.

    Man 1tb ssd’s are only $100 these days. I like crucial but they are all pretty similar. I can actually clone the Mac drive to a new drive and not have to reinstall anything.

    @Drago Zetić thats kinda changed, ssd’s are pretty cheap these days and very stable. I would say that’s changed in the last 12 months. 2good, I don’t really about data breaches as far as online but I wouldn’t mind if someone stole my music and made it big. Nice payday for me!

    Always, I mean ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL. Backup your work.

    Agreed, you can get backblaze for $5 a month and backup everything! I also spend $100 a year on dropbox and put everything on that. I can literally lose a whole computer and have everything back up and resyned in about a day. Thats not bad. I am going to have about 15k in to my next record so...

    Which Music Service Do You Recommend That Has Better Audio Quality Than SoundCloud??

    Yea its $10 a month for higher quality, but you can upload a high quality .wav file on the free tier and it will sound just find.

    Which Music Service Do You Recommend That Has Better Audio Quality Than SoundCloud??

    Soundcloud can handle uncompressed waves, and it does NOT max at 128kbs if you have Soundcloud GO for $10 a month https://help.soundcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010227514-High-Quality-Streaming Check out this article https://www.justmastering.com/article-mixingformp3.php

    sounding good on all platforms

    Mixing is an art in itself, it will take a while to learn how to do a decent mix. Read the book Zen and the Art of Mixing and then check out Joes "Home Studio Corner" after years I feel I can do a decent mix, but I will pay lots of money to a good Mastering Engineer to finalize the whole thing...

    Creative Block

    I wrote this a while ago but I think it applies #1 Take a break from the typical genres you enjoy. If you only listen to hip-hop check out metal, if you only like fiction get some non-fiction, if you look at surrealistic paintings….well you get the idea. Spend some time with these new genres...

    I needed a mental health beat-break

    "Andrew O'Neill once told me something about our mutual hero Henry Rollins. Henry, he said, takes an inhale year (reading, learning, traveling, absorbing) and then an exhale year (touring, working, speaking, art-assaulting). " This quote helps me a lot in the downtime.

    Ideas for improving ILLMUZIK

    Yea lets keep the topic on topic haha. I personally still love forums over social media. I would also say that hip hop has just changed so much since ill started, has it dropped off a lot? I see a lot of new people on here and that is awesome!
