    How long does it take for Production on a Track

    I was referring to adding changeups and progression which is part of basic music theory. I'm not saying you can't loop at all, I'm saying taking 1 bar and looping it is a lame beat. If you want to prove me wrong make a video of you making a hot beat start to finish in 30 minutes or less.

    double tracked vocals ..thoughts!!

    Are you saying no adlibs at all? I personally like ad libs with some people and its almost necessary in some music such as crunk. Young Jeezy and Pastor Troy both come to mind when I think of great ad libs, they have so much energy in their verses because of them. I think Jay-Z has a pretty...

    Make the audio track mono because microphones record in mono.

    Compression before or after EQ?

    Good advice I was wondering this myself but it makes perfect sense now that I think about it.

    General 808 tips

    I use 808 booms for kicks by cutting the release off short and it adds some nice thump to another kick sound you want to fatten up. Its hard to go deep into it with a few sentences, working with 808s requires fairly good mixing/mastering knowledge. Basically you want your kicks with a high...

    Young Buck. On Dr.Dre's Level? /Producer/

    Honestly though, Dre is not some untouchable man especially if you are in G-Unit and have access to the same things he does. That amazing sound comes from the industries top engineers and other people he pays I wouldn't call him a musical genius, just a business genius. I think half the people...

    Speeding up to 160-180 BPM

    I do this for all my upbeat tracks, my keyboard can't even register hi-hats as fast as I want it to so I will up the bpm and use a drum machine to make the hats, then insert or take a few to change it up and then do the rest of the percussion on the keys along with the rest of the track. Laid...

    Production on Birdman/Lil Wayne's "Stuntin Like My Daddy"

    Yea its dope as fuck. Like I said I'm pretty good with reason I use combinators and stack devices so I can achieve a fuller sound but I guess I still need some practice especially on the mastering side of things. I can't seem to get a clean bass sound to carry the brass it always sounds dry...

    Production on Birdman/Lil Wayne's "Stuntin Like My Daddy"

    I realize its layered horns and I'm quite good at making reason sound above average but I still can't get that sound. I'm not knowledgeable about hardware at all but maybe they are using the MV-8000 or a Fantom? If anyone knows please help me out.

    Sine Wave Whistle sound in Reason

    Set polyphony to one, turn legato on. Set portamento at about 28 and put RV7000 reverb on the malstrom but don't overdo the wetness. I've achieved the exact synth and whistle sounds that lil jon uses by tweaking the malstrom, you just have to learn your way around the synthesizer and you can...

    Production on Birdman/Lil Wayne's "Stuntin Like My Daddy"

    I can't stop listening to this song, the beat is just fucking insane and I especially love it because its in the same style that I've been trying to achieve but I can't get it just right. The brass and bass are amazing I don't know how they did that and I was hoping someone might know what...

    Nah, I can pretty much guarantee you can't, it can easily take more than 10 minutes just finding the right sounds.

    Apples, And oranges.. But why Reason over FL?

    LOL thats funny that you think that but I'm sure Propellorhead doesn't care if weak producers like their product or not. Sequencing in FL Studio is for little kids and can't touch the flexibility and quick workflow in Reason's setup. In fact the only advantage FL has over reason is vst support...

    take ya time

    I think the point of this thread was that tons of people claim they make beats in 10 minutes. That just doesn't happen unless the beat sucks. I don't care who you are I know Dre couldnt make a good beat start to finish in 10 minutes. I think its funny when people say this, lets me know they...

    Durty Souf Productions

    Man you are way off three 6 is in no way electro music and yes they do use samples, in fact I think samples are used in at least 3/4ths of their songs. Three 6 is best classified as southern gangster rap, there is no such thing as electro rap. Anyways back on topic for southern beats just...

    Your Own Orchestra

    I record friends who play instruments and save the chops but if you are going for an epic and/or live sounding piece chopping just won't cut it, you need that perfect blend that only comes with actual playing. I've been thinking about learning the violin to step my game up considerably.
