    DEEP Drums

    If any of y'all have Luda's new CD release therapy track #2 on there w/ Jeezy, "Grew Up A Screw Up" has some monster drums on it. I've been wanting to ask this question for a minute but needed a song to show you guys what I meant, so does anyone know how to get a kick that sounds as deep as the...

    "Long Way 2 Go" Strings?

    If you guys have heard that new Cassie song (http://www.myspace.com/cassiemyspacemusic) the producer Ryan leslie's got some pretty sick sounds on the chorus, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what instrument (or what its equivalent would be in reason) to get those huge chords on the hook. It...

    West Coast Piano

    Quick question...the piano sound Scott storch uses on this new game song, "Let's Ride", is a real similar sound to what Dre's been using for years. Does anyone know what piano that comes from and if there are Reason patches out there that come pretty close to the sound? Or how to tune a rhodes...

    NNXT Rewired w/ FL 6 problem

    I'm posting this here instead of in reason or fl forums because i think what I'm trying to do can be done in both programs... I'm using Reason rewired through FL 6 right now and when I load a patch onto the NNXT (like a string from the sound library for example), i cant figure out how to fade...

    Main Stream Production W/Reason 3.0

    there is a ton of stuff being done w/ reason right now. Timbo most definitely uses it because one of his tracks is from a refill i used to have, Cool & Dre use it (heard them say that in an interview), Wonder, Ryan Leslie sounds like he uses it (dude who produced the new cassie single), so on...

    to my west coast heads?

    i mentioned the heatmakerz because they use 3/4 drums most of the time which have a very different swing than the very simple 4/4 of dre. who said i was complementing the heatmakerz?

    to my west coast heads?

    the worm is a continuous staple of west coast stuff. if you're looking for the dr. dre piano sound go digging for some rhodes piano sounds on the net or in a music store...although needless to say you're not gonna have his exact sounds without some real knowledge. another common dr.dre...

    Who does your basslines?

    Yo Big D could you break down the pocket one more time? Sorry I'm not really experienced with a lot of music terms, so I'm not totally sure I get what you mean. As simple as it might sound Im not totally getting the thing about the pocket just being the groove of the drummer. Anyway you could...

    Did someone buy a YAMAHA Motif CD Sample .wav format off ebay??

    I actually just got one of the Motif DVD's on ebay. I gotta say for 20 dollars you will not make a better investment. What does 20 bucks get you now? A few records? 2 cds? I realize the DVD is nothing close to the real thing but it does have every single sound in perfect quality and every...

    "Chevy Ridin' High"

    thanks man, thats exactly what i was looking for. Cool and Dre use reason, so i'll bet thats how they did it. I hear you on that man, the thing that got me hooked on cool and dre's production is how hard their kicks hit , no idea how they do that isht.

    beatjacking

    My strategy is to use two things, cause this shi* will happen all the time if you're not careful. Number one, use voice tags. Don't use them quietly, they should be layered and panned throughout your mix. The bottom line is people can still hear the beat and if they're interested, they'll get...

    "Chevy Ridin' High"

    Whats up everyone... I'm sure most of you guys have heard the Cool & Dre production "Chevy Ridin' High" by now, and I gotta say, the synth they have on that song has been stuck in my head for a good month now. Does anyone know the basics of how they got that sound? I'm still new at really...

    voice tag anyone?

    Relic THANK YOU!! This forum has helped me a lot but I can't even tell you how much this would help me out. I'm starting to do myspace and shop my beats but I make my shit real simple- FL, reason, no studio, no mic, so I can't record my own tags and the FL vocal machine sounds like that old bs...

    Yall should honestly check this out.

    Can someone who has this guy's myspace inform him that Cool & Dre use reason, and that the guy who made the "What You Know" beat for TI uses Reason almost exclusively for his beats? I don't even know where to start with this guy. Apparently in his "touch the keys" glory someone forgot to...

    Protecting Your Hearing

    What up fam... Question here for audio engineers and anyone else who might know. I'm getting real concerned about my hearing because I bump my mixes so loud and for any of you who are into rock music you know some of the older guys of the 60s and 70s rock generation are losing their hearing...

    I just noticed....

    also, the heatmakerz were some of the first to use "southern" drumkits in northeast style sample production. if you listen to their drum sounds and the rapid snares or kicks they sometimes use at the end of measures they are very southern sounds that hadn't been used in that type of production...

    I just noticed....

    yeah keyz makes another good point, the heatmakerz are almost rediculous with how obvious their samples are. im a big fan of theirs but as a digger, I gotta admit, they don't dig hard. the majority of their songs are very popular O'Jays, Isley brothers (receipt is from one of the isley...
