    Is The Game the next big thing in Hip Hop??

    I don't know about THE next big thing, I heard a bunch of the tracks off his CD on Shade 45, Eminems satellite radio station, and he’s ok, not great. BUT, he has Dre backing him, and that is a huge but. Dre produces sick beats, and can make anyone sound good. Plus being associated with him...

    absynth

    I don't know what this has to do with anything but.... I had it in the Cheq Republic. It taste like black licorice. You can't get it in the states, you can barely get the real thing anywhere in Europe, only in the eastern block countries. This stuff came out that is all over called...

    Need Harp refill (reason users)

    If you found something could you post what it is called and where you got it. The problem with a harp sound is that the dynamics of a harp are difficult to recreate with a keyboard. The way that shit is plucked is a huge part of the sound, but let me know how you do.

    Reason, Redrum, & Pattern Changing

    I'm not sure what your talking about. What do you mean by "cut itself". Also, You gotta specify if your talking about the RedDrum or the Reason Sequencer. If you are saying that when you import the beat into the sequencer your getting a double trigger on the kick drum, then it could be two...

    Reason Matrix

    Has anyone figured out how to control the Matrix in Reason with Midi. I haven't found a use for it yet, but if I could quickly play something and have it loop it back on the fly, I could see it being a little more powerful. Any ideas?

    Reason, Redrum, & Pattern Changing

    If you are talking about switching between patterns in general, the number pad to the left of the RedDrum sequencer is where the patterns are stored. Each number is capable of holding a pattern. Click on the number 1, create a pattern. Then click on number 2 create another pattern. Click...

    Tempo Genres

    168 sounds real fast to me. Are you talking beats per minute? I'm thinking it ranges between 85-110. Anything above that would be crazy. House and Trance is around 150-160, more comerical dance is around 140, Jungle is around the upper 160's, and hardcore can get up to 180. Thats a very...

    How can i get rid of air gasps in vocal takes?

    I was thinking having my artist rap until he would normaly be out of breath and stop. Have him go back one line, and then continue on untill he runs out of breath, and repeat. That way it would sound like he never took a breath. I would have him go back a line so that when I actauly edit it...

    Lloyd Banks - The end of On Fire

    I'm not so great at arranging by ear. Really I wanted to break it down so I could mess with, and switch it up. I think I got it figured out though. And Ominous, you are definitely on.

    Who u think Is The Greatest Hip Hop Producer

    Dre Has to be Dre. If were doing of all time, then he's been doing it for the longest time. Actualy he has been doing it from the beginning, AND has been responsible for major trend shifts in hip-hop production. Hands down

    Lloyd Banks - The end of On Fire

    The end of this song with that piano lick is hot. I don't know why they didn't use that throughout the beat. I have been searching for a midi of the entire song so I can build a new track off that end part. I will probably end up just figuring out the lick myself, but if anyone knows where to...

    Reason 3 Is *almost* Here!

    I hated on the Reason upgrade before, but I got to defend the program. Yeah there are better softwear synths out there. The real analogs are even better. But are people really using Reason for the softsynts? I may be wrong so feel free to correct me, but Reason is all about the samplers...

    Eminem - Encore, biggest dissapointment of the year

    I just read this article about Em trying to take himself out of superstardom, hence Encore. This might just be the answer to the nagging feeling I have about the album. Or it could be a crock of shit from some guy who doesn't know what hes talking about...

    Reason 3 Is *almost* Here!

    Huge Disapointment I really don't see this as being much of an upgrade. Combinator- is basically the ability to group a rack setup under a single heading so it can be minimized. Wow. Mclass- The mastering suit isn't much better. It lacks the features that better software mastering...

    Loop Editing

    REcycle I would get a copy of recycle. Its used to break beats up into their seperate insturemnets so they can be re-arraged. You will probably have more success making a 4 bar beat with this then trying to do it in a wav editor. If you want to stick with a 3 bar, I would suggest putting...

    Eminem - Encore, biggest dissapointment of the year

    Encore-A Month After I know this album has already been discussed, but I have been giving it some serious listening time. There was a lot of discussion about the CD growing on you, so I thought I would bring it up again. If this cd is still in rotation in your car, let me know how you feel...

    What Song Made You Want To Create Beats

    The Show Emiem Show- I know that was kinda recent, but I was into House production before I heard that. That changed my mind.

    makin bangers

    Buy some House records and sample that. The drum kits used in House will bang a lot more then most used in Hip-hop.
