    Is it worth it? ($)

    I'd say it depends on what your skill level is currently with any DAW and with software in general. For instance I have about a decade of experience with Logic, but very little experience with Pro-tools. I'm now working with a studio that uses both Logic and Pro-tools. To me it would probably be...

    how do you fatten up your sounds??

    I will layer sounds when it's called for, but I make sure to EQ those sounds, so if I find a snare with a good mid punch I'll lowpass the high end and high pass the low end. Take a crispy snare for the top and highpass out all the frequencies I don't need from that one, and maybe I get a nice...

    Iphone Beatmaker

    I don't have that app but I do have izotopes idrum for the iphone. It's pretty fun to program. You can do velocity rolls and stuff, program patterns, and then program in a song mode: http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/idrum/iphone/

    It's so cold in the D!

    This is awesome. I remember months ago this song was being passed about on some local Detroit forums (I used to live in Detroit, now live an hour outside the city). I had no idea it had turned into an internet sensation lol. Freakin hilarious!!!

    Kanye wants to intern for Louis Vuitton - NYTimes article

    Regardless he's been a top earner for a minute now that he's out in front, and something they definitely needed; a new superstar, not just another talented underground artist type. But now people are going to play to his eccentricities while he starts making more clothing, perfume, cologne, and...

    Taggin your beats

    Thanks! I still have to clean that one up a bit, and I think the keys are on a rotating leslie type simulation which I need to sync up a little better. Coming from the background I come from I've always been more composer then sampler, but I really enjoy chopping and working with samples...

    Cool, thanks. I'm on a lot of different forums, only a couple of them are hip hop production related (here, and cratekings) as they're some of the few I've found helpful. I post a lot more random stuff on my local nightlife forums so it's harder to get to know people here because I don't post...

    I went to edit my profile -> edit my details, and -> edit my options, and I can't find out where you can create/enable a signature. Any help would be much appreciated! d

    Composition within a sampled beat?

    Acoustic is definitely harder to get to sound authentic. I find that the better electric guitar emulations with amp simulators give you enough dirty harmonic activity to add to the realism.

    Relic, you mean just tag em once, at the start of the track?

    Taggin your beats

    Technically you don't have to do anything to copyright your stuff besides finish it (yes, you can certified mail it too yourself to be safe, etc). I always keep the multitrack masters of my tracks, and always keep the song file too, so I can go back and solo each individual noise and demonstrate...

    Taggin your beats

    How often do you drop your tag over your beats? I've heard it done differently, sometimes where there's just a tag here and there to prevent lazy people from trying to lift the whole beat, and other times where theres a tag like every few bars to prevent people from even lifting a loop...

    One sheets (if you don't know wtf these are, read this)

    God, out of curiosity, how custom do you think the graphics can/should be on a one sheet without looking out of place? I've heard a lot of advice on keeping the one sheet graphics rather simple, even if you have a compelling design that doesn't take away from the info. Your thoughts? Also...

    Services for sharing your beats

    Thanks for checking that out for me. I think the problem is that the server is ran by a friend and he's always experimenting on it so it has slow nights when he's testing something.
