    Who Here actually owns/works/profits from a Recording Studio?

    it is feasable depending on your area. If you are in a smaller town/market you can be the "IT" man. Recording, supplying beats and pressing up the mixtapes. Just outsource the things you cant do to someone else and up charge the service to make a couple of dollars. We offer mastering but we...

    Hardware Vs. Software Sequencing

    I love my motif and hardware samplers drum machines ect.. I work faster with hardware but i hate when its time to track the beat out to mix. Mixing and editing is way faster on the computer and you have more options with the vast array of plugins. Im a fan of a hardware/software setup.

    Publishing

    The short answer you need to have a musical work available to the masses in some fashion ie a cd for sale, a single, a jingle something on radio whatever. Then you register your publishing co with ascap or bmi or one of those performing rights companies ect. The why you need it is more...

    What can I get

    i cosign da futures setup advice and add some nice outboard compressors/eqs to phatten up the sound and u will be set. But really you should go check out some gear at guitar center or something to see what suits you beat making style

    Where my DJ's at?!?!? I need turntable help!

    save up and get something good if you really want to do this. Technics cost so much because they are rugged. If you are djing a crowded spot and the dancefloor is shaking other turntables will skip or bounce. I have owned the cheaper ones lol and you do get what you pay for. If you are willing...

    How do you know your beat is hot?

    When i can already hear a hook or someone on it i know its good. When my 3 yr old starts hummin to it and making up words its good. Its true what you said about the simple drum beats people seem to go crazy over the most simplistic beats. Most likely because they leave more room for the artist...

    Where my DJ's at?!?!? I need turntable help!

    The best thing to do is to try them out. I have used the numark direct drive turntables and they will do you can scratch fine on them but they dont obviously have the feel of technics which i use. You notice the difference more so in the durability but for mixtapes and general parties they are...

    Music and Production

    I think it was a natural progression for me to start making beats having been a dj for so many years and always around music from birth. I always loved singing and rapping and would always make songs to other peoples beats but i hated to perform in front of people as i got older. So I just...

    Drums first?

    no set method but for some reason i always start with some sort of drums to get the vibe. A lot of times i go back and change or add to the drums after i have a good melody going. sometimes i play something first though or come across a good sample i want to build around but thats rare since i...

    How to get Really Smooth Keys

    I wouldnt begin to know how to replicate that sound on the computer. I have a couple of pianos the classic ones and my 3 yr old can make that sound good! The only workstation that comes close to that sound is the motif. The pianos on that keyboard are unbelievably realistic. I have see alicia...

    Recommended Mic under 200$ ?

    something in the rode family is good but for me the M-Audio luna does the job. I record most people but not all with that mic. It has great pickup and clarity and cuts through the mix really well. It doesnt require much compression or equing. After mixing vocals all i need is to have the level...
