    best engineered hiphop albums

    Could someone list the differences between "engineered" and "produced"? I'm sure alot of people are slightly confused about either.

    I think im an undercover R&B producer

    Love the melodies on your songs dude. If you've listened to J Dillas solo material, he does a lot of soul/R n B sampling and one of the way he beefs them up is by fattening up the bass up a bit. Whatever floats your boat though, your stuff is gold in its own right.

    leaving mistakes in

    A part of this new direction of crisp and perfected production is just the state of Hip Hop right now. Alot of the (more popular) music is very safe, and because there's more money coming from rap and all things hip hop, more money can be invested into production. I think the same can be said...

    Timbaland's Gear

    What Goes Around Comes Around is incredible. The amount of layering and the transition to the ending is incredible.

    intro

    how's it going everyone? I'm fairly new in production but it's really interesting considering how much I love music and how much music background I've had, and it never struck me to arrange songs together. I've played at the SF Conservatory of Music for piano for 7 years which built up alot...

    MPC Necessary?

    My original plan was purchasing an MPC with FL Studio, but I got Reason which is a stand alone program itself. Is an MPC necessary or would and MPD TECHNICALLY do the same job? I'm trying to see the advantage/disadvantage of purchasing one, considering I'm more short on money now. Thanks.

    9th Wonder rollin' soooooolo

    But then again, every producer has a distinct and sometimes signature sound. Dre has very minimalist drums, DJ Quik with the funkiness, Dilla with the live percussions, etc. People are complaining about 9th Wonder's snares but it's more than that. It's a complaint about his distinct style. (i...

    Portamento on the Keys

    Was wondering how portamento's are mimicked on keyboards? I've tried using the pitch wheel on different keys but that seems extremely hard. I'm trying to get that early 90s west coast sound, but I can't get the technique. Thanks in advance! Those wondering, portamento is just a long slide of...

    FL replacing Hardware

    How's it going guys, I'm hella new to production, it's hardly been a week. Played nearly every instrument minus wind instruments, and this seems like something I should have been doing since I was a child. Enough about me... I've been talking to a few people and reading on alot of forums, but...
