    Whats the word on sample cd's and disks?

    Are these sample library disks any good? I just work with the factory sounds on my triton and groove box. What makes them worth buying? Is it that the sounds are already mixed and mastered by professional engineers? And if so, isn't it possible to engineer raw sounds of your own by way of...

    90 s HIP HOP WAS THE ISH...............

    Yeah that era was simply sick! There is still good stuff being dropped all the time these days, but there is just something about the "golden age" that has kids looking back. I know for me part of it was just the fact that I was in highschool growing with that music. What ever happened to...

    Sample? Or not to Sample?

    Is producing a male thing ?

    How many tracks?

    I would like to know how many tracks in song are too many and too less. I've noticed that in most music, popular or underground, there is usually 4-8 tracks that make up an entire song. Now what I mean is; bassline(1st track), kick, snare and hat (2nd track), I count the kick, snare, and hats...
