    I started making beats with FL, then Reason and now Im using Cubase sx3... I was fed up of the quality of Reason's sound engine and of Rewiring stuff to Cubase...So I decided to do everything In Cubase and never looked back.. Mixing in Reason and FL was giving me headaches, but now with...

    hard hitting snares

    So true, layering will introduce some weird phasing issues if not done correctly.. And since most of us work 9 to 5 jobs, time dedicated for production is more vital than spending hours layering bad sounds together....

    How to sample

    I like Recycle for its straight forward convenience...Open up wav, use pencil to chop, export to recycle file and open it up in Guru or whatever program your using... The only thing I don't like about recycle is its Zoom resolution....You cant get the precision of, for example "WaveLab" in...

    Motif Rack or Motif keyboard?

    A friend of mine as the keyboard version.... Im not a big fan of its sequencing and multiple menus on a 2 inch screen... I prefer to do everything ITB, using your DAW as the master would be the way to go... I would go for the rack version for its great sound library and small footprint in...

    What is the lowest price you sold a beat for?

    Free would be the cheapest obvioulsy.... But 20$ if its for a mixtape or its an old beat collecting dust.. For an exclusive beat I would not go lower than 60$. But I dont intend to keep selling so low...My prices will go up with my experience level and my reputation...that might take a while :(

    Whats the Best VST to manipulate Samples ???

    Like I said it in another thread.... Guru is based on the principle of a MPC....Sequencer+16 pads+internal filters+ease of use.. Maybe you already know about Guru, but I urge you to check it out...It changed my workflow for the best.. Peace
