    sampling tips

    I been doing it cuz I like doing it for about 10 years. I have nothing to prove to my wife or kids they see my success when I make that mortgage payment and fill that big ass refrigerator full of food. The music is my thing. I zone out for hours making beats. I made some money here and there. I...

    sample king?

    I chopped up a sample frorm a Sesame street song. Burt (you know Ernie's homie) had a joint called "Doin the pigeon/the pigeon dance". Tight muted trumpet and bass line.

    I use Compression (complete Mix) on my Master Channel in Fruity...Problem?

    I have been in some really nice studios and seen some top notch engineers putting compression on the complete mix.

    is there a difference?

    Im still not understanding the "fl studio drums sound stiff stuff". You can place a kick or snare anywhere you want to in the piano roll. I do it all the time to make my claps a little off from the snare. I make hip hop tracks so Im not that concerned with trying to sound like an actual drummer...

    drums or melodys first?

    If Im making like a dance oriented track, the beat comes first. If Im chopping up a sample, I fit the beat around the sample. My best songs are when I work the beat in after the sample or melody.

    Does making beats lessen your pure enjoyment...

    My sentiments exactly once that beat start cranking the holy ghost is in the house. I do notice when MC's punch in or when ad libs are sloppy. I can tell also when vocal were recorded at different studios the sound just doesnt match.

    Dilemna - What Would You Do ? (Reason 3 Users Needed As Well)

    ^ lol. Yeah, one time he sold his MPC 2000(not xl) for $300. I had to ask him if was doing crack or something. Seriously. He assured me he wasnt. Just was hard up for some dough.

    Dilemna - What Would You Do ? (Reason 3 Users Needed As Well)

    Dont sell your equipment. I know a dude who does that. Then 6 mos later rebuys, next hardship sales it again. A real vicious cycle.

    Producing Advice

    I think your just scratching the surface of the program. FL imports wav format so the sky is the limit to what your beats will sound like. You can also use soundfonts as well. If you copped an Mpc and worked with what comes out of the box you would be just as frustrated. It takes time to build...

    ASR-X Pro Video Tutorial

    The asr-x isnt bad. It has some polyphony issues that may cause the sequencer to trip. All you have to do is resample the track that you played notes on and replay it as a sample. Awesome effects on it . But in my opinion it cant touch software. I had one for about 3 years.

    What are the best Hip Hop Drum Kits?

    I use to feel bad about sampling kits from other producers. I got over it though. I also have resampled my drum tracks after an engineer has tweeked them when I was in the studio. You got all the correct compression, eq and everything, perfect drum kit.

    recommended methods to sort samples???

    I usually cop a gang of records at a time. Like maybe 50+. I spend like 2 to 3 days going through em. I will record anything I can use, Breakdowns, horns, strings, vocals etc. I have folders set up in fl for the different samples that I can view from the browser. This has to be one of the...

    What's your process

    Word thats how I do it. I play the first part and look for breaks and change ups according to the patterns of the grooves.

    Sampling via downloading old tracks.

    Aww man come on dont be telling everybody about that. I thought this was my secret cause the majority of people avoid anything dealing with reading or books like vampires avoid sunlight.
