    Simple/Dre Style drums

    also, quantize your kicks and snares to straight 16th's and then quantize your hi hats to shuffle or vice versa...

    double tracked vocals ..thoughts!!

    i personally double the rhyming word in my lines and deviate from that. i agree that when they double their whole verse it sounds messy or as if they are scared to let their voice be heard. a good example of raw sounding vocals is anyone who works with 9th wonder...like murs on the murrays...

    'Ol Forgotten Dayz: Allen Highwaters Presents "IllMuzik Diss"

    yea i vaguely remember this guy too...i like how you can hear the computer mic being hit by his face when he gets too into the diss track. my personal favorite though: "First of all, 50 cal. youre moms calling, its time to eat ure happy meal at your your fukin grandmas house! second...

    to my west coast heads?

    yea, the daygo sound is un hyphy for sure. stuff down here from what i've heard is really grimey and swinging. female vocals seem to be popular too.

    to my west coast heads?

    a lot of the mid 90's westcoast stuff had a really live feel to it...so if they weren't using an 808, they were using live sounding drums and often they had actual drummers/bassists/keys players in the studio with them (like dre still does). if you sample, look into groups like parliament...

    Ethics

    the way i see it, is if people can tell you put your spin on it or reinterpreted it, and it does its job, i think its cool. and as far as sample obscurity, i try to use super obscure samples and mangle them to make a whole new thing simply to be safe but in reality we're not that big as of now...

    New Sounds

    yo...sample. i'm serious, you can make 4-5 songs from one vinyl lp if you are a good enough sculptor and composer. doesn't even have to be a solo instrument...just mess around with it if you have the resources. think about it...vst's (good ones at least) are usually $40 and up whereas you can...

    compression masters outthere?

    don't forget eq...a boost in the 100 hz area for your kick drums makes you "feel" them more whereas anything below adds rumble (not always good) and anything above makes you "hear" them more. I usually try to use compression and eq together. What i mean is if i'm compressing 4 things, i'm...

    There arent 9 planets anymore, only 8.

    haha i was going for the "animal farm"/communist propaganda/coverup reference...i'm gonna say it wasn't as effective as i'd hoped... i heard about them adding like 3 planets...i don't get what makes a planet a planet though ...it was like pluto did something wrong so they excluded it and to...

    There arent 9 planets anymore, only 8.

    Comrades, Pluto never happened. It never existed, it was simply conspiracy by the rebels to undermine our great solar system. FORGET ABOUT PLUTO.

    Dirty Drums...

    madlib uses an sp-303 and that's it. mad cheap but as 9th wonder put it, "his ear is stupid". Dilla used an sp1200 i think...not sure though.

    Dirty Drums...

    there's an fx loop on the mixer with room for 4 fx. you can turn up their intensity and apply them to diff channels.

    Dirty Drums...

    plus keep in mind that cats like that, especially madlib record their samples suuper loud. they can because it's analog stuff the are messing with. that's what formant is talking about. as far as reason goes, mess with compression a lot so you can give them that pushed sound without having...

    theres bandspace.com...i totally forgot i had a bandspace until now...but yea they are alright.

    fl seems kinda limited to me...

    this is going to turn into a debate that we've already had/unneeded arguing. static, it's perfectly valid that you have questions...you just have to be more specific and people will be glad to help you out...people are reacting the way they are because of how vague you are being...some people...
