    Showcase - January 12-14, 2012

    I agree with both assessments here... @JR - I think the volume of the snare is OK, I just think some EQ'ing on the high end would give them more presence and a touch more snap. Just a touch, not very much. @IK - I'm one of the few here that do like claps but I think I would have switched up...

    Leaked photos of the MPC that will be announced tonight. NEW!

    good point... LMAO @ "If i can choose between an SSL or Akai interface...hmmm..." My only concern with the Studio is it just appears way too thin to handle the constant abuse of getting banged on AND AKAI is known for having to pound the shit out of their pads compared to anything else.

    Leaked photos of the MPC that will be announced tonight. NEW!

    In all honesty, I just cant imagine anyone settling for the smaller AKAI's with the Renaissance being the flagship. I question the durability of the AKAI Studio, it just seems too thin to take the normal pounding that a sampler takes and the AKAI Fly looks more like a toy than a serious...

    A creative thinker is almost like a expensive hobbie.

    Yeah great vid! I kinda stand neutral on the issue as a whole...Some would say that the music industry is in bad shape because of the over saturation of noobs using the same high end tools as the pros do. Then you have those who truly have accomplished greatness using those same tools, but...

    A creative thinker is almost like a expensive hobbie.

    I don't think the "promotional use" tag will last forever. I also feel like a person should do whats right. The only compromise that I see is - use what you have access to and 'give back' accordingly. If you're making good money using "promotional use" products then put good money back into it...

    Mastering Tips For Do-It-Yourselfers

    OK Formant, help me out on this... 1. I keep running into different Mastering Techniques that say it's OK to use Stereo Widening (if needed) in your Mastering process. Ofc, we're talking about minute adjustments and not 'repairing' a bad mix but just adding a touch of seasoning so to speak...

    Jay-Z - 'Glory' Feat. B.I.C. (Dedication to Blue Ivy Carter)

    I can see how that would to relate to Aaliyah but NO, I'm not getting that at all from the song. I'm taking it as shes going to be a very blessed child. Plus, I can't see J bringing that up while talking about how happy he is to have her. That wouldn't even be in context with the rest of the song.

    Sample Clearance

    There is no set price, there's no guessing either. It will be totally up to the copyright owner/s. They usually want to hear your material first, then they look at things like...how much you used, the way you used it, how often it's used in your beat, how recognizable it is and so on... and...
