    Just cut a deal with a fairly major Emcee, need your advice.

    I would definitely start out with something like..."I've got unsigned street cats that are spitting more fire, are you sure you want to go in as an unfeatured track?" But yeah, it's confirmed...dude disappointed.

    Hip Hop Confessions

    I like some of Jay Z's stuff but I will be one of the first to say he has more that I don't like. IMO, in the past, these cats purposely put their all into a few tracks and the rest was done to meet the obligation of completing the album. I feel like that mentality has changed. I feel like...

    I know it's kinda hard to take a sample like this and make it feel 'hard' without getting away from actually calling it a 'flip', but I really like the route that SMM took...soooo, if time allows, I'm gonna try to do another beat using samples from this sample but making it a bit 'harder'...

    Steinberg CMC series

    Super clean looking! Steinberg is really starting to impress me, I was checking out their interfaces, they've got some awesome plugs, and now this control surface/pad controller...sweet!

    @finn - no doubt this is the calm after a highly dramatic scene or the first track as the credits start to role. Great work finn! Thanks everyone else...I really liked all these, hopefully we'll see a few more before times up but good work everyone.

    chopping up samples

    I'm an Edison fan, I like SliceX as well but Edison does the job for me...I just highlight the section, set my Autochop to medium and tweak my chops from there - no hotkeys required =). SliceX is a beast though, the 'Dump Score' feature is as close to using a hotkey as it gets...check this...

    Mar 22nd - Mar 29th

    Here's what I came up with Just Like A Star I was trying to leave the scratches out of this one but I couldn't resist. @SMM - I can't really call this a "flip of Major Harris" but the beat is SICK. I really like the guitar and the drums, the changeups are great, and it's structure is on...

    Rick Ross needs to A&R Nas' next album

    I stand corrected...they did get sued but it was by 2 of Chic's members and NOT the holder of the Mastering copyrights...Here's the article from Wikipedia... They eventually got sued again by Grandmaster Caz but I don't remember how that turned out.

    Rick Ross needs to A&R Nas' next album

    Yeah, I saw Premo and messing with something, I think it was ableton or reason and I've seen 9th on FL Studio...I've never seen PR on anything.

    Getting an entire album to sound the same?

    recording rap vocals...?

    I think ideally it's the best but realistically it's not. If a rapper isn't OK with how he sounds, it will translate in the recording. Different mics have different characteristics so...I would be looking at whatever makes the rapper feel more comfortable/confident in what he's spitting on. jmo.

    Hip Hop Confessions

    ahhahahaha! Well, I may be guilty as well...I liked some of Wu's albums but I liked them all better as individual acts than as a collective. I went to a Wu concert and it was just madness...too many cats screaming on the mics at the same time kinda took away from their message imo. My favs...

    Rick Ross needs to A&R Nas' next album

    Guru was doing it in the mid 80's, Premo joined GangStarr in 89 (I think) and they did their first album in 90. PR and CL's debut was in 91. So I gotta give that to Premo just because he was first BUT PR had better scratching/mixing skills imo. Premo wins in the longevity department by far, he's...

    Getting an entire album to sound the same?

    Yeah it's a memory hog but considering that you're opening a group of processors all at once, it not so bad...I'm even willing to bet that the same stuff in Waves may require more RAM. Analyzer Parametric EQ Reverb Harmonic Exciter Compressor Stereo Imager Post EQ Maximizer Peak & RMS Meters...
