    I had just started making beats and I didn't yet take the time to back my shit up. I had an apppointment to drop off my first beat CD to a indy label, the night before fucking thunderstorm fried my PC, no surge protrctor no back ups...I almost gave up right there. But in the end taught me a...

    Logic Pro 7

    Yo I run Logic Pro 7 on My Powerbook G4, gig of ram runs almost as well as on my G5 at home. As long as you got the OS X update and enough RAM you can run it on a G4.

    is there a way?

    All the mixing advice above is great, what you should also do is tune your drums for every track. Even the drum sounds carry a musical pitch.

    Anyone here actively/effectively uses Recycle ?

    Recycle is really great for chopping up samples and then inporting the file or slice into the sampler. The real need for the REX format is a matter of opinion.

    drums or melodys first?

    For me it works both ways. Sometimes I start with the drums and if the beat is tight I build around it. But If I find a sample or wite a melody that I like I lay the drums down to that. Really just depends. Sometimes I just find a kick/bass sound I like lay a skeleton bass line write/find the...

    Fruity Loops vs Reason 3.0 - Which is better? Here it is!

    Firts off, you can use either to make dope beats. You just spend the time and learn the ins and out of either program. For me I like the set up and flexability of Reason. For me it's just a much better program. But you know Four Tet made his first album with freeware, so in the end it's just a...

    Sample the New Common Album!

    This album is great, just straight hip hop beats classic raps. It's guys like Common and Mos def that made me wanna do this. It's a great album. I'm not sure we need another common album full of Kanye's beats, but this one is great,

    I hate to say it, but why do people want it so easy!?

    It's hard to draw the line and decide what is ok and isn't ok to sample. The real fear is that the true nature of Hip Hop sampling has been lost. People need to look back to the roots of Hip Hop sampling. The beauty came from the fact that the sounds came from all over music. I just don't want...

    FL and Pro Tools

    Yeah but if you buy pro tools it will come with it's own audio interface, unless you buy MPowered, and then you will need to get one of the MAudio interfaces.

    any tips for laying down drums....

    Sometimes I Copy the loop lay it onta second track ( sometimes just kick and hi hat ) and add a slight delay, or tape delay, gives the loop a bit more swing. You can also off set a second loop of the kick drum it provides a sence of depth. With both of these though the mix is everything dont let...

    Beats from the Heart

    I think my mood affects the process but in the end my production has a sound, and if you look back at the work there really are some chracteristic traits. So I guess in the end they reflect me as an artist.

    Guess who walks into where i work...

    Wow that's crazy, things happen for a reason, make the most of it, and if it takes you someplace remember how you got there and be there for someone else one day. Hip Hop is a community, and it's what we make it. Go crazy yo!

    awful tunrtable buzz/hum

    If it's grounded and the conections are clean it's probably one of two things: The output wire itself is bad and is picking up noise in the signal: or the motors on some old turntables just hum after a while due to age. Usally you can get a way with listening but sampling is really a problem...
