    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    I don't know about y'all but no matter what I make, it's "MY SOUND". All music is influenced by someone or something else so stop tooting your horns as if your shit is 100% original and doesn't in some way borrow from something that came before it. If you're sampling, then your using an...

    Production Hip Hop Production or CSI Beats?

    Yeah, I peeped out that synth a while back. I think it's dope for EDM/electronica for sure because it's really got that "on the fly", live performance vibe to it. It seems very fast an intuitive and could be dope for hip-hop too though. It's a bit large though, seems to take up a lot of room...

    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    @Hadoq, I make music for the people not just for myself. If I wanted to just make music for myself then I would make it, never release it, and play it for my own personal listening pleasure. It's not about any trade-offs, popularity contests or any of that. I don't want this or that, I want...

    How do I sell my beats without a website?

    You could sign up to myflashstore.net, create a free account and sell up to 10 beats for free. From your soundcloud page, you can go into the properties section and you'll find a "buy" field. Copy the URL where you're beats are being hosted on mfs into that field and when a person clicks on...

    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    When you get into this game called "the music business", it's just that...THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC which implies that for the most part, you're in it to make money. I used to think like you @Spuntastic. I was emotionally attached to my beats and only wanted the perfect artists to appear on them...

    Studio Monitors

    Believe me when I tell you, save up the scratch to get some good quality studio monitors. You want a monitor that will give you a true, uncolored, flat response so that when you're mixing, your mixes will translate well on just about any speaker or headphone you play them on. Your monitors are...

    LOUDNESS

    You are correct about the drums sounds we use, they usually are already compressed and have processing but you have to understand what you're doing when you are compressing. The whole idea is to get a particular sound to sit better in the overall mix. While the compression applied to an...

    LOUDNESS

    @hardboiled - Basically, the loudness war comes down to 2 key factors, both of which are in opposition of each other. Loud, in your face, less linear mixes, or dynamic, more transient, lower volume mixes. If I had my choice, I'd opt for 60% loud and 40% dynamic. However, the music industry...
