    Creating your own 'unique' sound

    This basically covers what I was about to write. Everybody has their own approach to making music, their own interpretation of what "good" music is, their own set of inspirations and influences...this list goes on and on. Everyone has their "own" sound. The question, I think, is merely...

    Reviews Part II 5th: Aw damn! Sorry about missing you last time, man...I was quickly skimming to find links and didn't spot yours. With that being said, I like what you've got going on with the drums, very upbeat, trippy vibe. I like the distorted stabs you have going down starting at about...

    Really liked this sample. I wanted to come up with something soulful, but it actually sounds kind of tropical. I'm going to give it another go I think, stretch the tempo a bit more, make something a bit smoother. "Soul For Thought"...

    All I've gotta say is...lawyers are probably smart enough to sift through hip-hop forums ;). I'll start on this tomorrow, reviews after that.

    MPC2000XL or New P4 3GHZ PC? HELP PLEASE!

    Word, I agree with you there. In that sense the MPC is a better buy because it's proven its quality and desirability with age. A computer could potentially , I think, provide something similar in that if a person is completely satisfied with the current setup & features on their computer...

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it. I was worried the direction I took the beat in would end up sounding a bit too corny. Can't wait to hear some more flips. Hmm, I guess the crash might sound a little out of place in terms of tone. I recall being worried about...

    Erica Johnson: Real dope, I like the vibe you have going here. I like the keys you added, they definitely add to the mood. That bassline is on point. I like the snare better than the handclap. You most definitely have talent if this is one of your first...keep it up. diskrete: I really like...

    MPC2000XL or New P4 3GHZ PC? HELP PLEASE!

    Relative to other, newer computers out in 2 years, sure...but if you think about it, if that computer's well maintained and taken care of, it will--like the MPC--at the very least provide the same level of performance you initially paid for. There really isn't a need to jump onto the next most...

    Thanks for the reviews, fam. Bigrob: I like the chops, it sounds like it could be from an old movie (hence the Jackie Chan tribute I guess), which is a cool Wu-Tang esque sound. I'd fatten the bass up a little bit, in my opinion it sounds a bit distorted & synthy. The bassline itself is dope...

    http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=425648&songID=3939936 Tried to go for something uplifting and atmospheric sounding, since I usually make darker sounding stuff. Reviews: 2Good: I like most of the instrumentation you added (except for that lower synth-end sound)...it sounds...

    Music and Production

    I primarily make beats to express myself. I love music, I especially love soulful and emotional music, and absolutely love hip-hop. Whenever I make a beat I try to bring those three things together...sometimes I just want to have a beat I can bounce my head to, other times I want something I...

    Artistix: The chops don't seem to match the groove of the drums. KnoxRaw: Nice chops, I like the portion you picked. The bassline sounds a bit out of tune with the sample, I don't know if that's just me or not. Grafik: ILLLL! I like that middle note you have going throughout the loop, it...

    None from me this week. I started the chops, but I don't have access to my keyboard 'cause shit's being done with the house. I didn't want to be dragging stuff out on the piano roll like last week, lol. Reviews sometime tonight or tomorrow.

    does anyone ever feel like giving up?

    ^ On point. Learn to love it as a hobby before you pursue it as a career. If you can't, then it's time to throw in the towel.

    i'm having trouble making basslines

    Word, can someone explain how one uses low end theory or what it is? Google gave me the ATOQ album.

    Turntable To Computer

    It's on the illmuzik site, I think. Here's what I wrote on another message board...hopefully it's accurate, the others can correct me otherwise. The more knowledge the better. "There are two turntables out now (one of which is a Numark) that let you record the audio of your vinyl directly...

    does anyone ever feel like giving up?

    Yeh, I feel this way sometimes but it's generally fleeting...although as of late I've felt too uninspired and apathetic to really care about actually making anything 'cause of my current home/family situation. But once I'm out of the house I'll probably feel a lot better about it again. Aside...
