    Newbie Question

    not to press my personal opinion as fact (e.g. "yo, get the mpc. fl sucks and I'm out") but i think having a hybrod pf hardware and software gives you the most freedom. this blends the best of both worlds...but i agree with everyone for the most part...it depends on how the creativity flows out...

    ever notice

    this is a funny thing i noticed...whenever i take people in to see my setup and tell them about my music (relatives from out of state, etc) they always either know somebody that i can't pass up on meeting or they have suggestions on what i should do with my music...everybody's a genius

    fantom users

    Does anyone who uses the fantom x know how to set the sampler so that it records to your external card instead of the internal memory? i have about 35% memory left on the internal and i have a 1 gig flash card and every time i try to resample or heavily edit a sample i run out of memory...

    Production RECORDING VOCALS -- Drop ur techniques and tips!

    DONT OVERKILL REVERB! too much reverb automatically screams "cheap shit" some light delay sounds nice depending on the mood of the track and it sometimes helps keep the lyrics moving. an alternative to punching in...if the verse is really complicated and the mc sort of has it but not...

    cutting other acapellas over your own songs

    ideally, i know that if youre going to scratch any acapella over your own song to add accents, you need to clear the sample but my question is do many of the smaller, more obscure indy labels do this? od do they just put it out and see what happens?

    What to Look For When Shopping For Vinyls to Sample

    dont think of the songs on these records as songs- think of each sound as a possible sample. ive fipped shit off a country western 45" right next to a russian folk record. you can make a trippy pad out of a long vocal by sampling it and putting it through a gang of effects etc. i dont really...

    Question about Reason and Samples

    you actually dont have to open up seperate nnxt's. you can load multiple samples into one nnxt and just set the zone to one key. just load a sample and fnd that little bar that stretches across the piano keys on the blue screen. click and drag each side to the one key you want (for example...

    in a slump?

    this is kind of the same thing as listening to different music but in particular, stop listening to your favorite mc's and producers because when you start subconsciously comparing your stuff to theirs, it frustrates you. your favorite artists are probably your favorite because they inspire...

    this is what i wanna get so far....

    and you also should know what you want to sound like---what i mean is you mentioned that you want synths and an mpc. its dope when people combine the two but a lot of producers either go sample free (synths etc) or sample based (mpc, etc) you may already know this but judging on your reverb and...
