    Will the akai series survive?

    Well Akai will not run out of money, they are part of the conglomerate that owns Akai, Nemark, Alesis, Maudio, AIR so they are not going anywhere but I do think the AKAI name has run out of steam a bit. And man NI knows software better than anyone. I still havent found pads better than the...

    Showcase - November 4-10, 2013

    Hey Skid, I totally dig this track. I would maybe pick a different sound for the hat/ride sound. Also it seems like the master bus compressor is working really hard. But that's all I can really hear, this is dope man! Ok here is a track that is not quite done that is going on the next DP...

    How do you feel about sampling MP3?

    No they are not better quality at all. Vinyl is substantially higher quality than MP3 as are CD's Mp3 is basically the lowest quality format available.

    I interviewed RJD2 in the latest Ghettoblaster Magazine

    Thanks man, honestly getting gigs like that doesn't take to much hustle. Sure builds your credibility fast though.

    I interviewed RJD2 in the latest Ghettoblaster Magazine

    Been writing for Ghettoblaster for a while now. They are a quarterly magazine so every few months I get a email with available artists to interview. I almost didn't do it, since i'm so freaking busy but my wife convinced me that I HAD to talk to RJ, so I emailed my editor and told him I would do...

    Becoming a music producer

    Dude it is one of the #1 rules of sales in any market. And kinda a sales 101 thing. I bet now that you know about it you will start to observe it all over the place.

    Becoming a music producer

    Lets talk closing the sale for a sec. There is a thing called a Mexican standoff in negation. It happens to you almost everyday you may not even know. When you are looking to purchase good's or services and the person selling tells you the price. The next person who talk's looses! So if you are...

    Becoming a music producer

    I mean how to close a sale. Most people don't know this. Or the art of negation. But yea let's talk. How do you find your first client that will pay 5k for you to produce their album. I know it took me 3 years and a ton of hustle, so I think this would be a good starting point.

    Becoming a music producer

    Some good advice in here, but these articles at the end of the day never talk about how to actually get clients. How to close deals, how to get the NEXT clients ETC. You can talk rates all day, but with no customers its a waste of time.

    Man it does look like a nice update. I have such a love hate with Sonar, man it could be so good and it's so close!

    MPC Renaissance & Studio price drop!

    I was on my phone so I could not reply in depth, but the only ammo Akai has in this fight is the strength of the MPC name. Now that is a huge asset but no one is in a position to compete against NI from the sound perspective. And that is what they are using in this fight, more synths, more...

    Production Should You Pay For Software Upgrades?

    I agree with 2good dot releases should be free, so 1.5 to 1.8 free but 2.0 should be paid.

    MPC Renaissance & Studio price drop!

    No, not anytime soon. Akai is not built to compete with NI in the sound dept.
