    Need help with mics, monitors, and sound card.

    Damn, it was that simple. The homie at guitar center told me to stay away from USB mixers, especially the Alesis. He said it was one of their most returned items. He actually advised me to buy the a cheaper product (the PreSonus TubePreamp), and the shit worked like magic. Used the leftover cash...

    Need help with mics, monitors, and sound card.

    First off, apologies to Fade for posting this 2 forums. My bad! Attempting to setup a basic home "studio" (overstated). Bought an E-MU 0404 PCI Card (http://www.zzounds.com/item--EMU8803), without knowing what I was doing. Further complicated things by purchasing an AKG Perception 100 Mic...

    Is Hiphop REALLY Dead?

    When did hip hop die??????? Nas says it's dead! Judging by that last album, it must have been a double homicide. This cat done come a long way (down) from Illmatic, so he can't even say shit. But the truth is that hip hop is always evolving. It just so happens that now is the South's turn to...

    Sample in Hov new song

    Yeah, the new Hov track is a sample from the 2006 album called "Press Play" (track 2) by Sean Combs. LMAO. The sampler got sampled.

    Just Blaze or D-Dot - whose jacking who?

    That's the same beat. It's structured almost identically. It's way more than just a sample. But like Swivel said, Puff dropped his first, so he gets the nod. I hope Jay-Z didn't have us waiting 2 years just to come out with somebody else's beats.

    That Timberland effect.

    Good lookin' on the tips. As far as "copying" Timberland, this whole home studio/production realm is all new to me. Never be trained in music, so some of the terms y'all use are all new to me. Not that I'm trying to copy dude, but to create my own, I figured I at least needed a blueprint or a...

    That Timberland effect.

    Timberland got a track with Justin Timberlake and TI called My Love. He has this crazy echoing synth effect he uses. Anybody know how to create that effect (preferably in Reason 3.0)?

    Quick ways to chop a sample?

    What's the quickest way to chop a sample? My process seems to take about 4 or 5 steps and takes too long. Here's how I do it: 1. Open mp3 or wma file using Sound Forge 2. Cut and paste only the portion of the file I want into a new file 3. Save partial file as a WAV file 4. Open newly saved...

    Beats sounding the same

    I've seemed to hit a brick wall and noticed that my beats are sounding the same. Some beats don't sound exactly alike, but you can tell they were done by the same producer. The main problem is that they sound to musical. Or better yet, they sound to melodic. When I try to make simple hard...

    Learning to use certain instruments

    I used to have the same prob. What I noticed is that I was over using the instruments. Instead of the tracks sounding more like boom/bap, they were sounding too melodic b/c in between the drums and scratches, I had it chocked full with instrument melody. But that's a good start. Take that...

    One Brutal Fight!!

    LOL, you right. The only thing missing is Smokey runnin' up on ole dude, leaning over him, and saying "You got knocked the fuuuurrrrck out". Ezell could run by and steal his shades. LOL. If you like fights, check out Kimbo Slice. Paid street fighter in the 305 (Dade County). Seen him knock a...

    Southern Music (Don't hate, just statin an opinon)

    Yup, just good music and bad music. And what is good vs bad is all based on opinions. I'm just happy niggas is eatin'. Even if it's off a track like "Lean Wit It". Like BIG said: And soon motherfuckers start screamin your name out Like they screamin all these other, so-called hot niggaz...

    Another official Kanye West thread

    Kanye is just the dude that everyone loves to hate now b/c he is POPular. I seen it happen with BIG. I seen it happen with Jay. And on down the line. To say Late Reg is a bad product shows a true lack of good music sense. I know I'll hear the whole "it's just my opinion" speech, and I do respect...
