The response to my post about handling a white MC's voice in post-production highlighted a problem on this board.

I feel like when a question is asked on here I often see it dismissed with general answers and a know-it-all attitude. People know their shit, but they are not above asking the board to share their knowledge so we can all learn. If your going to respond, think about doing so with that same humility.

In my opinion illmuzik is probably one of the few places on the internet (especially for music production) where you can get some useful information. It has personally helped me out a great deal, without a lot of the nonsense and general immaturity that plague other forums and sites.

In the post "handling vocals w/ white MC's" there was a legitamite question in your post, but maybe you could have phrased it a lil' better -or- posted again stating "this is what I meant" stating your position a lil' better.
Despite some backlash at your post, people STILL gave you the benefit of the doubt and
posted some useful info that I hope you benefitted from.

If you think illmuzik is bad or has dissapointed you, I can give you some links to some sites where they do nothing but clown all day and nobody is really serious about their music. Take your post as maybe people misunderstood where you were coming from and keep it moving.

ya people are really touchy with stuff like that here maybe its how you worded it. If you maybe said How do you Deal with Mc's with that Eminem Type of Tone people would of answered your question. I Dont think you did it on Purpose or were tryna be Malicious I just think you said it out of ignorance cuz you didint expect people wud get all emotional over it

Exactly, I think it just was how you phrased it. It seemed at first like a joke then slightly racist. In these days everybody feels there is racism and putting out statements in such an upfront matter kind of attacks people at such an emotional spot will get various reactions - most of which negative.

it's also a good idea to write diplomatically with potientially sensitive topics. If you do that you can leave less room for criticisim and speculation.

I don't think that this forum is like that, that's what we've working hard to avoid all these years! I think it's just your thread and the way you worded things that made everyone react the way they did. But that's also why I step in once in a while and tell everyone to get back on track, otherwise this forum WILL turn into all the other sites, which is a terrible thing. :(

I haven't read your previous post, but IT WAS a fucked up question!. LIke someone said you should've asked how to deal with someone with the type of tone of voice like Eminem
on the SSLP.

i didnt know he was serious either, Eminem's nasal voice is crazy because its supposed to be annoying as hell but he makes it work somehow I doubt thats mastering on his voice though its probably something that he does to keep the harmony. I think alot of people associate a deeper bass filled with voice with black folks and a higher nasal pitch with white folks but thats just stereo types people build around the biggest names in hip hop. Remember protools isnt magic it all starts with the preformance all you can do is polish not create
