    rookie on reason

    i know right? i'm so use to hardware. i've had reason for like six months, but i haven't used it consistantly. now i have no choice because i'm not at the crib. i won't be there till the end of this month. i guess that's a good thing because now i'm forcing myself to use it. it's not bad at all...

    rookie on reason

    okay, it may be easy to you, but some of us never done it before. spare me the smart comments fam... naw fam, i don't have any of those. i guess i should invest in one at least one. i kind of figured that i had to convert audio to wav, just couldn't figure out with what. i appreciate the...

    Your favorite software to make beats?

    reason and recycle but it's only use as a sound module. everything is use around my "mpc 4000". i'm a hardware user, but i've messed with fruityloops in the past. wasn't really feeling it. no, i'm not saying it's wack, i just wasn't feeling it.

    Mpc 2500 Vs. Mpc 3000

    oh, i'm not dogging the 3000, that's still a dope machine... oh, i'm not dogging the 3000, that's still a dope machine...my thing is if he's going to pay $1400 for it, he might as well get the mpc 2500 for like $500 more brand new, warranty, and more features. (feel me?) just my opinion...

    rookie on reason

    what's good? i have a question about "reason" and "recycle". is it possible to sample off of a audio cd using the computer alone? then taking it and loading the sample on "recycle"? the way i put a sample on "recycle" is sampling from my turntable or cd player to the mpc 4000, then take it from...

    my apologies, guess i should have done this before

    what's good "ill". i've been here for like a few months now. i never really introduced myself. (my apologies) i'm a producer living in "norfolk, virginia". (home of "nottz raw") anyway, i compose, sample, etc., etc. i'm here to give what i know to new producers. also willing to take advice and...

    MPC2000XL or New P4 3GHZ PC? HELP PLEASE!

    in my opinion, notice i said "my opinion", i think you should go for the "mp" . you can make beats right out the box. (depending on if you got the memory) i've had the 2xl then i went on to cop the 4000 and neither has given me any problems. i use software (reason) too, but only as a...

    mpc 4000 users

    good looking fam. will this also work once the sample is sliced up? would i have to set each pad like that? you might have answered that, if so, my apologies. thanks for being helpful. by the way, i think "poly" is the correct term. the guy at the guitar center used the same term, so i assume...

    mpc 4000 users

    what's good? i've had the mpc 4000 for a while now. pretty much learned everything on it. but i'm still trying to figure out how to do set the pads to a "one shot" like the 2xl. i know that's not the technical term for it, but hey it works for me. anyway, for anyone that has the 4000 knows that...

    What can I get

    i would have said the 4000 but i was trying to help him get as much gear as he could. but yeah, the 4000 is a beast. i own that and the 2xl. i gave the xl to my younger brother because it was just sitting there. but yeah, if you'd like, cop the 4000. it has some decent effects, you can keygroup...

    What can I get

    if you're going hardware, cop you a "mpc". i hear the "2500" is pretty dope. haven't gotten a chance to mess with it. that will be your centerpiece. a dope keyboard (motif, fantom, etc.) and a lot of vinyl. that's the basics. i mean, it's all on what you're going to feel comfortable with. it...

    Yall should honestly check this out.

    word, i agree. he won't make it far. his track wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. it's not good, but it's not horrible. but, the same way that he bashes reason and other software users, i've seen cats on here bash the mpc. everyone is entitled to their opinions. just do you, get yours...

    What would you do if someone jacked your beat?

    beat jacking happens to the best of them. i would just take it as a lesson and be more of a prick when it comes to who i give tracks to. i don't let every "tom, dick, and harry" listen to my tracks if it's not going to get me anywhere. whenever you have a listening session, it should be to get a...

    Shopping Your Beats

    that's word, our forefathers done it by foot and so can we. posting tracks on the net is a convient way to get things heard but you got to get out there and grind fam. build relationships. network with other producers, artist, etc. find out who their inside connects are. if you're not the social...

    Music and Production

    i guess i do it to put my brand of hip hop out to the masses. the way premo, pete rock, nottz, and a whole lot of dudes that did it. it's something i love. money is not my motivation. although, i wouldn't mind getting paid for it...

    How do you know your beat is hot?

    basically you just need to believe in your sound and stick with it. but at the same time you got to be willing to experiment. you only want to cater to people to a certain extent. you got to understand, nowadays, when cats listen to your tracks, they want to hear something that's already out...
