    Hi-Tek's "best friend"- production question

    Let it be a lesson. stay humble. The only ones in this industry who can brag are RZA, Dre, Neptunes, etc...producers who have become legends in the game. Peace.

    Sampling - Where to draw the line.

    I clarified my original post later on. We aren't in disagreement.

    Thanks to all who did help.

    Sampling - Where to draw the line.

    Exactly my thoughts. As an A&R scout I get sent a lot of beat CD's and a lot of the kids before they send them can't stop telling me how 'hot' their beats are and how sick of a producer they are. Then I get a CD with basically 8 jacked samples and simple drums put on each. Those beat CDs get...

    Yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssaaaaaaaaaahhh

    static coming from FL can be for a number of reasons... first thing to try is, like he said, render it in higher quality, but i would strongly suggest you go way higher than 128 if you have the memory. preserving sound quality is the most important thing you do once you have a finished beat...

    Hi-Tek's "best friend"- production question

    Wow...thanks to all of u for giving me the heads up. That high pass filter makes sense, I mean now that I think about it, that is what it sounds like in the intro. Also thanks for helping me find the sample!! Peace

    Hi-Tek's "best friend"- production question

    Theres a new 50 cent song called "Best friend" (off of the GRODT soundtrack) produced by my favorite producer, Hi Tek. At the beginning of the track, Tek plays the song where the original sample came from, and then segues into this absolutely fire beat. My question is...can any of you guess or...

    copying a sequence on fl5

    I think maybe I misunderstood your question originally.. what you describe here sounds like a lag between your midi device and sound card/computer, which I had a problem with for a while. If you've gone into record mode and played a bunch of notes out, but they come out incomplete and all...

    Sampling - Where to draw the line.

    I mean a guy like RZA has demonstrated what his talents are...if he happens to find an amazing sample, ok. But I know up and coming producers who just make a habit of putting drums on every jacked sample they can find, and its not art to me.

    Question..

    try to ask something more specific bro...its real hard for people to help you when you're asking them to explain how to make beats to you...i mean that could take some of us 100 pages. in the beginning its all about experimentation! you gotta figure out your own style of making what you want...

    Reason 3.0 is the SH!!!!!!!!!!!!!T

    is pro tools or cool edit better? i think you know the answer to that one. you ever hear jay z say "cool edit is a hell of a drug?" nah. cool edit as you used it doesn't really exist anymore...the company that made it was bought by Adobe and it's now Adobe Audition 1.5. I mean audition is...

    Sampling - Where to draw the line.

    I definitely follow the same rules as you, no other rap producers, and I try to stay away from well-known stuff. I also, personally, have little respect for people who sample whole melodies and stuff like that. I mean, there are a lot of cats out there who just take an old song, slap some...

    copying a sequence on fl5

    there's another easy way. when you're using FL or any other program, you always have to follow one rule: KEEP YOUR SOUNDS SEPARATED. This was a tip I heard Just blaze give and it is so true. You never ever want to have your drums and bassline or your drums and melody (it can be any combo of...

    to get mehself started...

    This is gonna come off as rude but...whatever, it isn't intended that way. I haven't been on these forums for long but I asked similar questions when I started and got the same response I'm about to give you...this isn't what (most) people are here to do. We are most definitely here to help...

    best way of importing and working with samples in FL Studio??

    For this example we'll suppose we're using, say, 4 different samples (I don't know exactly how high you can go but I would guess its as many keys as you have on your keyboard). Aside from the channels for whatever sounds you have, open a new one that is a "Layer" channel (go to menu, new...

    best way of importing and working with samples in FL Studio??

    i use sound forge to get my samples...but it sounds like you already got that part figured out. everyone uses FL differently. i personally prefer to import each chop/sample as a different channel, and then select all the ones i want and import them into a new layer channel. using the set...

    so what's a good college 2 go 2 that teaches music production

    school can't teach talent. its either god given or developed with a crazy amount of practice and effort. save your money.
