    What's your biggest issue in the studio?

    1. Persons who think that reverb or delay should be added to the mastering of any track. 2. Collaborations over the Internet. People expect me to have the same plugins as they have so they can avoid sending WAV files since they're "too large". 3. People who think that a song is completed just...

    aight peepz I got something hot for y'all. But first I'm gonna get at y'all beats peepz, so sit tight! @iLL ThoughT: Ooh my GOSH! That beat is so dope. It really begs for a dope bassline to go along with it. Keep up the great work! @frinko: Your beat has some interesting sounds. I would...

    Tutorials 5 Ways You Can Improve Your Drums Right Now

    I agree with most of what has been said, I hardly ever use breaks directly as samples for my beats, instead I lay out the drums to match the break beat as closely as possible. Influenced by the classics, with my own twist. :)

    Odd request

    It's this simple: If you put in sh*t, then you get sh*t out. Good gear is always a must have. I'm trying to avoid old broken gizmo's even though they may provide a favorable sound. Make sure that your gear is grounded properly. This will get rid of most background noises. My Ex gf had an old...

    OK @JustRipe I'm gonna be quite critical and hit down hard on you here. Nothing personally intended, just giving you some insight and my 20 years experience giving you some constructive criticism. Here we go: @iLL ThoughT: That beat is just dope! I cannot complain about a thing here. It's just...

    IIRC I stretched a cowbell or some shit like that. The horns comes from cars and trains.

    Roger debunks the swing myth

    *sighs* As long as it works then I couldn't care less about a feather or a fig regarding the equations behind it. If the equations work, then that's good enough for me. :)

    When does it become copying?

    Let's face it. We have 12 semitones per scale, and that system has been overused the last milenia or so, which means that pretty much all melodies has been used, reused, overused at least 10000 times. So pretty much everything is copying. FFS even hearing a tune could be classed as copying since...

    We all make music, but...

    I produce a lot of styles, a lot of times, so I think that categorizing my music is pretty much irrelevant.

    @Kohie: Really fresh beat, I would lower the electric hum from Izotope Vinyl just a tad bit more. Very nice choppage here. I really love this track. Keep it up! @iLL ThoughT: Fantastic beat here. This sample is just perfectly applied. The bass and drums sits just perfectly together, you maybe...

    HE MAKES A GOOD ARGUMENT

    I fully agree with this dude. We're chasing upgrades instead of making beats nowadays. Although limitation is good, sometimes you need a specific sound from the DAW, and I must say that the analog warmth that the DAWs can produce, is pretty good as it is. Kinda generic, but what can you do when...

    Industry Why Is Sampling Allowed For Some Samples And Not Others?

    It seams that sampling has lost it's charm due to all these greedy bastards, who A has enough money to spare, and B can't get enough of that drug. That's why I prefer to buy a 3rd party sample library that has all the rights cleared so I can use them with a clean conscious mind.

    How Far Do you Push Your Loudness?

    I've started to use Audiocation's R-128 VST; a level meter that is compatible with EBU's new dynamic levels. Now I'm not at all skilled in explaining exactly how it works, but it measures levels within a very very small time interval, it shows the highest value constant, and the current value...

    Well then a big thanks is in order to both of you. Now, @Gene Flo here comes my review of your track. Very tight sounding mix, very nice and laid back style on the beat. The harp has a few notes off from time to time, I would skip the flanger / phaser on the piano since it really destroys the...

    Production RECORDING VOCALS -- Drop ur techniques and tips!

    From my experience it is always a good idea to record your vocals semi good first, then you lay them on the music, rerecord the vocals as good as you can in 4 bar chunks. This means that you have don't need to look at a paper, or screen when you have the text comin' at ya in the headphones...
