Pitch Black - It's All Real (Produced by DJ Premier)
Premo is the man. Fade, I personally don't think his style is predictable, (don't think I'm being an ass lol, I'm just not sure what you meant by that,) but his style is making each beat have like, a classic melody. His melodies always remind me of something I've heard before, (eventhough most...- Knock Out

FRUITY LOOPS: Cool Effects ?
How do you use the beat slicer, and what's good with the granulizer?? I don't know about you guys, but I also f*ck with the major fx also. I tend to use Fruity Chorus a lot, I like the outcome of the way it makes the beat sound. Ya'll should try this. *As for wanting this topic to be seen... -
FRUITY LOOPS: Cool Effects ?
OK: Use a simple instrument like Soft Piano and go to where the poly thing is again.... now turn the knob about half way up, and click the box above "mono" (make sure you dont have mono clicked, just the one above it, I forget what it's called.) ALSO, make the sure that you made a nice little... -
FRUITY LOOPS: Cool Effects ?
Bro, that's exactly what I do too... I double the tempo to fit more notes in one measure. BUT, like I said in the tip in my first post: you can have more notes in a measure if you change the metronome from tick to none, or 1/4. That's a really useful tip. NOW, to anyone thinking this topic... -
FRUITY LOOPS: Cool Effects ?
I usually make the whole beat in Fruity Loops, eventhough I know that bringing it into Acid Pro would result in better quality. C'MON FELLAZ I know there's more Fruity Loops users in this forum than one producer... like I said. I'll keep posting just tips and shit if you guys will also... -
FRUITY LOOPS: Cool Effects ?
Ok, I know I'm not the only serious Fruity Loops user in here, so my question is: What kind of cool effects and stuff have any of you figured out?? I'm not talking about the TS404 effects and shit, I mean stuff you've personally figured out. If you guys will share a couple of your findings with... -

da band..to hot for tv album
LoL Alls that I can keep thinking is, what was P.Diddy doing??? With names like Biggie, Mase, and Shyne under his belt, he goes and pulls a publicity stunt like this? I can't believe he put this garbage out, AND wasted some ill beats in the process. Fuck Bad Boy. Signed: ME, just another person...- Knock Out

New Outkast..... What the hell?
I was feeling Bombs Over Baghdad, but never really OUTKAST as a group at all. Big Boi is nothing special, and Andre's just a fuckin wierdo. Both of em dress like freaks, and if they think they're "changing hip hop" by doing that, let em make fools of themself.- Knock Out

Fed up of sampling
I've always made everything from scratch, because for some reason I looked at sampling as not really making your beats. *BUT* my first couple sampled beats have been FIRE, so I plan on doing it a bit more. I don't like to use loops though, I still like making all my own melodies. I just... -

Best RECORDING/MIXING SOFTWARE?
Hmm, am I the only person that uses Acid Pro?? I've had just about everything, and Acid has been the only dependable thing for me. I had Cool Edit, but for some reason after I'd use it a few times, it would no longer work. I like Acid Pro because it automatically saves each take you record, so... -
What Tempo
Tempo is DEFINENTLY based on what you use... I use fruity loops, and just about all of my beats are in the 90-95 range. Other programs and machines are different from one another. -
full, orchestral string sound....
*My set up is Fruity Loops lol. I don't care what anyone says about it, I know the program like the back of my hand. I'm switching to an MPC eventually, but for now I like FL. As for sounds, I need wav or .xi samples. -
full, orchestral string sound....
AHHHH!!! Me, I'm just going fuckin crazy because I'm getting NASTY at making beats, but getting sample cds with worse and worse sounds. I seriously feel like I'm beyond the average beat, because I'm taking sounds that are completely retarted and turning them into shit you can bop your head to... -

So You Wanna Make Beats?
Let's put it like this: I'm self-taught, and a good friend of mine went to production school. He can make beats in about 10 minutes flat, but they're extremely generic sounding and lack creativity. (Which I would expect from someone who had no previous music talent and was taught a certain way.)... -

The 5 most influential producers in Rap ???
For me personally: + DJ Premier + Alchemist (I think he kicked the sampling level up a notch) + Dr Dre + Just Blaze (The little voices in the songs, he kind of trademarked that as his shit. A whole new style of rap beat... began with Oh Boy) + RZA- Knock Out
