    the official Illmuzik "Sending Beats To Artists" thread

    Really great info's coming out in this thread. Props to 5th and swivel on that idea...I think it's definitely smart and business savvy. I don't think that it's a "cheap" way to make money at all. A beat and a well mastered/mixed track should be considered separate charges. Even though the...

    Sampling or Composing

    "Anybody have any nice links where I could read up some basics on chopping cuz I have trouble getting the chops to fit in a bar?" Most phrases can be chopped without much noticeable distortion to fit one or two bar phrases. As for general tips: if I have trouble fitting stuff into bars my...

    Your favorite software to make beats?

    ACID all the way...I've been thinking of switching to Cubase though, for the sake of better MIDI handling. The only things holding me back are its instability and its lack of direct-to-audio MIDI bouncing. As things develop I'll probably be on a later version of Cubase or Sonar sometime down...

    Good lookin' out on the details, fam! I understand what you mean about the drums vs the hats now. I'm gonna try and post up a second mix of the track sometime this week if possible after taking a look at the bridge and hats. Something I've been experimenting with lately is the flow of tracks...

    Thanks for the feedback, 5th. The drums do seem rather flimsy now that I listen to em again. Do you think the groove itself was okay, or that I should change that up as well? Other things I've noticed: it seems rather medium/high frequency heavy, do you guys think I should turn the bassline...

    Sampling or Composing

    My perception of hip-hop production in particular is that it's a form of sensual expression. Theory's important, but always comes secondary to how a piece makes you "feel." The purpose of any "flip" is to take a piece of preperformed musical history and squeeze it into something that better...

    Sup ya'll. I'm a little late again this time around, but here it is. Sample was chopped and drums were laid down last night. Today was layering and (attempting to work) the mix. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=425648&songID=3856177 Gotta meet novia in about 10 minutes...

    M-Audio MobilePre USB

    Ah, I understand now. Thanks for the information, fam. FT, you interested in selling off one of those MobilePres?

    M-Audio MobilePre USB

    This was a useful thread for me. Props, I'll be sure to download the new software when I buy my MobilePre. So just to clarify: Based on the comments in this thread I assume I can use the MobilePre to record my turntable, without any extra preamps or mixers. Is that true? The phono-to-line...

    Live from Sacramento, it's more reviews... ohten: the beat is dope, though the movie clip gets tiring after a while. The intro is nice, and the loops are on point. I like how you layer on that second set of strings. Could use a bit more instrumentation in the mid/lower frequencies, maybe...

    Sanova - actually, I liked this flip. The main melody is interesting without being too distracting. Nice work with the keys. Adds another dimension to the vibe of the whole thing. The break is especially tight; it's got a sort of spacial/trippy feel that I like. As a side note (this is...
