Production Tools

[Ominous]

This kick stepped on the court yesterday with some T-mac Adidas on and a T-Mac Jersey. Thought his gear made him T-Mac. Got in the game and got ate up like a big mac. Highest scoring player was rockin' some old as Barkely's.

The most important production tool is your creativity and how well you rock the equipment you got.

Some of the bangas on this board are working with thousands in gear...but then guys like Chang are right up there with them with the little he's got.

Skills....most important production tool.

^^^...but of course, the right equipment does help you improve your damn skills.

i cant just buy a keyboard and press a button two times and have a bassline it requires some kinda skill or luck. Im as real as it gets.

and whens the last time you seen a wooden keyboard anyway. i guess id be samplin too if the newest keyboard i got was made out of wood. id suggest musiciansfriend.com they got some great specials!!

I think that If you strip a good producer down to the bare bones and no gear and you say here is a sequencer do ya thing, lemme see if you know how to produce to get this million dollar deal I bet you it doesn't matter if you give em fruity loops, an mpc, a triton, a turntable or any 1 of them.....if they know how to sequence and make a pattern correctly to fit the track he is to produce he can do it.......if you haven't mastered the backbone of any production setup......"The sequencer" then to me you gotta do your homework.....I am not a fruity loops fan, although I have made tracks with it and cubase.....I use a motif, a triton, an mpc a turntable and lots of vinyl and an s950.......it doesn't matter i have seen them all the core is the sequencer....now you're not going to make all of your tracks in realtime, if so then UR good or a drummer and understand triplets and 16ths and ish...., if you cry about not being able to make a track then you can't produce period.....if you always have to have the best gear....work with what you have and master it....but the main thing is if you learn how to sequence you can make a hot track on anything........

^^^^^Amen....The funny thing is I started out with a sequencer nothing but drums hats cymbals rides cowbells....It was a casio rz-1 I think but it had nothing but the basics in it no samples no synth sounds it was nothing but a drum set in a in a box
