    challenge 4 all da mpc cats out there

    I used to mess around with cadences when I first got my Roland Sound Canvas that had a marching band kit :) My suggestion would be to find a good sounding drum kit for that style of playing and go at it. Sounds like fun. Left face!

    Matching accapellas to beats

    Don't know if this will help you at all, but usually when I'm laying down vocals on my tracks, I break them up into separate sections and trigger each section at a time so I know I'll always be right on at the beginning of a phrase. For example, I'll split the vocals into verse 1, verse 2...

    Whats ur Favorite Piece of Equipment? and why?

    My favorite piece of equipment is my Yamaha RM1x sequencer/remixer. It's the heart of my home studio and it's where I compose all of my songs. If I was stuck on a desert island with a power generator and studio speakers, I'd take my RM1x :)

    Lessons For Up & Coming Producers

    Once your creative juices start flowing, equipment shouldn't become a factor. I spent several years composing only on an MC-303. The only restriction I could think of back then was maxing out the memory :) You have to use what you have and take it to the limit. I remember hearing songs a few...
