    MPC vs Roland...my two cents

    word. good looks on the review. In a couple weeks i'll be able to weigh in as well. I recently recovered from a financial crisis and got some dough to throw on a payment plan on americanmusical.com...i ordered the mv. I've had the 1000 for a minute and i felt limited by it (probably...

    Lets talk SOUND: MPC vs Roland

    im gonna drop in my 2 cents (more like food for thought) i'm in sort of the same situation as you (except i have an mpc 1000). I'm eventually going to upgrade to either an mpc 2500 or an mv8000. i'm leaning more and more towards the mv now that i've done my research. of course the mpc is the...

    Any dj's in the house?

    thanks everyone, i appreciate the advice. i definitely will be providing equipment all the time and sound 90% of the time. San Diego State is a pretty big part school so it might be possible to do a few.

    Any dj's in the house?

    specifically party rocking dj's...how much do you guys charge to do your shit? I've done a couple parties as a present to whoever's birthday it was etc but i never thought about charging because i never dj'ed that consistently. after seeing the good reaction, i'm thinking of throwing myself...

    Help, lookin for a Stomp sound.

    this might not help too much but it'll tide you over till you find one. look up hi-tek's joint with busta: march. there is most definitely an isolated stomp sound in the beat since he uses it as the kick drum. from there you can eq/filter/etc the shit out of it and make it yours.

    Why I love my MPC ...

    this post has been around for a while... but i'll weigh in. for the past year or so i've been almost strictly on reason. i can now rip reason to shreds and make a solid beat in a few minutes. that being said, i've also sampled a lot throughout my production carreer (been beat making for...

    Reason - How the hell do you do it??

    the whole thing with reason (especially if you are completely new to production like i was) is that in the beginning there is an absolute wall. my first track was just a digeridoo sound for 3 minutes straight. (on that ambient tip). after i figured out the basics through a little research and...

    Apple iPhone!!!

    yea i got the morotolla q...it's pretty sick except i have the same freezing/restarting problem. a word of caution though...apple markets their shit with a philosophy called planned obsolescence which means they release something ill as shit...then 2 months later they release the same thing 7...

    anone recommend a gritty, warm, condenser mic?

    i think that's the "won it at the county fair by hitting stuffed clown heads with softballs" model. otherwise known as "W.I.A.T.C.F.B.H.S.C.H.W.Sb.78". those are dynamic mics though...they sound like ass too.

    anone recommend a gritty, warm, condenser mic?

    check out (if you can find it) an oktava ml-19. they're vintage russian microphones...this one in particular is a ribbon mic...really warm but loses some on the high end. i got one off e-bay for 200. very unique sound but it takes getting used to.

    Who controls the session?

    What do you guys think? during a recording session, who makes the final decision as to what goes and what stays? As an MC, i can appreciate the mc wanting to call the shots as far as how his track sounds but then again i produce so i know the gear and what decisions to make, whereas a lot of...

    anyone do podcasts?

    cosign...also, this helps if you eventually want to upgrade to a legit site. You also usually have more bandwith to mess around with on the cheap hosting as opposed to the free sites. One site that Sanova put me up on was mediatemple.com. you should check it out. it might have more than you...

    Snoop goes to jail,Cops think he MAY be a crip..ya think?

    Lupe Fiasco

    plus pharell is tyring to be on that skating tip with this skate team but i feel what youre saying. i think lupe is the mainstreams last hope...and he's not even really that mainstream. hes got some true talk on that album for sure...one of my favorites right now.

    The Dark side has claimed another

    i highly recommend getting really familiar with recycle. it makes playing chopped loops so much easier... as far as beats and bars...i agree, if you want the sample to actually loop, you need to know how many bars (it figures out the tempo by itself). just count how many times you go back to a...

    thats a shame if dre feels he needs to duck 50 though...unless he's just looking out for game.

    Listened to Games Doctors Advocate

    i don't usually even listen to game but my room mate is into it so i was able to get a few listens...i like the fact that its westcoast as shit but i cant get over how much the producers are trying to get a dre sound...there are some ill tracks though...the xzibit and snoop track is hard as hell.
