    Do you guys...

    This might be kinda off topic but,I notice alot of cats always talk that less gear is better stuff,but this is where having like 3 different samplers/drum machines comes in handy.Sometimes I make whole kits, sometimes I use the mismatch method but one sure way to make your drums sound different...

    Lazy Producer???

    But listen to Raekwon's "Rainy Days" from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. I know Timberland is Timberland and everything ,but the rule is -if you put out a joint with the same sample/interpolation especially for a rapper,that shit has to bang harder.

    Mpc2500

    Sit down and just look at your mpc....no really I mean just stare at it ,read it like it's a book.Alot of the basic functions are right on the top,just remember you'll have to hold down that shift button alot unless I'm wrong (I have the 2kxl).Record & play to sequence.Once you learn how to do a...

    Phono Pre-Amps

    Looks like thats the way I'm gonna have to go. I got a 1402 and a dj mixer.So do these things have a "sound" of their own like that ,to where you can tell the difference in your samples from a dj mixer compared to the pre-amp? I might have to start all over again if that's the case.

    Phono Pre-Amps

    I've been thinking about copping one of these.How is the overall sound difference when using one.Maybe that's what people use with their portable turntables that I'm seeing alot of nowadays.I could never just sample straight from my handytrax and get a good sound,the needle just doesn't cut it...

    Better than the ASR-10

    I was looking for a keyboard that sampled, but didn't really need the whole Fantom,Motif or Triton thing.I was in a local music store and I saw an ASR-10 for $500.00.I checked it out and said I would think about it since the board was in a case it's not like everyone would be looking at it! So I...

    Yeah see i've been choping,digging and making beats since like late 95,so at this point ,my drums are pretty solid.The thing is like I said i'm new to the whole recording/tracking proccess, mater of fact I dont even have a computer/multitrack to record on,but of course I got people with the pro...

    Is compression mandatory?

    I am very new to this area and I was just wondering.If my sounds/samples are sampled at good levels in the first place, especially drums in the SP1200, then do I still NEED to compress them or is it a thing where I just need to get everything around the same levels(mpc samples,synths etc.) I...

    Low/Hi Pass Filter on the MasterBus?

    Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear, I'm talking about hardware.

    Low/Hi Pass Filter on the MasterBus?

    Is there a budget multiband compressor that works good, like a gemini mixer.Everybody knows gemini mixers are not the best, but they can get the job done.

    how many hours in the lab?

    This is some grown man real talk now. I have to divide my time with my pregnant girlfriend/4 year old daughter/other family(mother,grandparents,sister) plus I'm a cab/shuttle driver so I got to put in ATLEAST 12 a day on my job. If your'e in this situation I think one solution is getting a job...

    sample question

    I probabally did overlook something on that. I'm down for trades though.You got any good canadian joints?

    Ya Boy Scizzorhandz On A Digg!!!!!!!!!!

    Damn !, I would be overwhelmed.How long have you been going there? Are the records in anytype of orginization or are they mixed.That could be a double edge sord if you got to flip through that many classical and country records.

    sample question

    What's good man? It's always cool to see somebody else that's in to records as heavy as myself.I sold that Skip Mahoney & The Casuals a few years ago, it's a really rare one, even here in D.C., but samplewise it's nothin special.Keep in mind though that Primo, D.I.T.C. Pete Rock ,Dilla and alot...

    I just noticed....

    They basically are East Coast producers with that southern aproach.Think about it, have you ever heard them do a track at like 93.0 or 94.bpm. ? "Dipset Anthem" & the C.L. Smooth joint "American Me" are some bangers though.

    What's the hands down #1 sampler?

    Yeah. I agree the MPC is fast & friendly ,that's why I've been using it since 98 and I'm keeping mine.The MPC is a top of the line SEQUENCER ,everybody knows that ,but it has never been the best SAMPLER .There are tons of other samplers out there that can top the MPC's out the box sound,I...

    turntable problems

    Yeah, look at the very tip of the needle, if it looks like the headshell is almost scraping the vinyl,you have to much weight on it.other than that, turntables are very simple . A needle is like putting a mic to an instrument, if the needle (mic) is good and it's placed(right weight on tonearm)...

    Your Setup (Hardware Headz) 5 points

    3. I'm very interested in this.I have heard about having a clean power supply and how it affects the sound and all that ,but what exactly can I do about this? It's something that I think about.but it just escapes my mind and I sleep on this particular issue.I guess I need to buy one of those...
