    Why are we dumbing down HipHop?

    good point.. its kinda like if I was a TV show director and I was analyzing the "reality show" craze... its just dumb television really with no real imagination or creativity put into it... and the shows just come and go and one gets replaced by the next. It almost mimics the state of hip hop...

    Question about my compressor and waveforms...

    ur prolly getting level spikes.. in other words ur recording too loud.... the compressor acts as as a ceiling and will squash anything above a certain volume and also raise the volume of a quiet sound... but if u take it off then there is no protection against overs... i think ur gain is set to...

    Still Lost!

    listen to your favorite cds and just look for the relationship betweeen levels of diffrent insturments and also the spacing of diffrent insturments and vocals within the mix....

    where do you go to sell your beats?

    ^^^ dont put all your eggs there by any means.. the problem with pmp is that they open the dumps at the very end of the projects. By the time the track dumps are open, in most cases the album is basically wrapped up. For example the ll cool j dump. They have been playin LLs single on the radio...
