After running on a slow 450Mhz P3 with a small 192RAM for 3 years during which lots of frustrating crashes occured, I finally raised enough money to upgrade to a better computer and to make my producing life a lot easier. However, like most of my fellow 18-year-olds, I only have a summer-job and...

i'm saving up money to get more serious in my production, and i'm still trying to decide if i should get more into hardware or software. if i get into software, i'm thinking of getting a new computer (over 2GHZ, if i can) with a crazy sound card, so I can run reason and cubase at the same time...

the city where i live is not producing a lot of hip hop artists, so there are many limits when you're looking for a record deal. this company got really interested in the beats i make. they'd be willing to work with me. i gave them a sample of my work (about 11 beats) and after 2 weeks, they...

i've been asked to produce a few rnb beats recently, which i thought might be a pretty good challenge, since i've never really tried. thing is, compared to rap, i don't know many rnb artists, so i have a very few sources of inspiration. any main artists you think i should check out? old or new...

i've been trying to work on my basses recently, cause i thought it sounded crappy when i played it in cars. i mean, it's ok, but not what i want. thing is, i got those long, hanging bass drums that really sound good usually. but whenever i wanna raise it in my mix, it always starts sounding less...

I went to see Dj Premier friday night, it was really good, but I swear it was too loud. Everyone I spoke to since then keeps hearing little 'eeeeeeee' noises and can't hear certain frequencies. Does this ever happened to any of you? Do you know if it ever gets back to normal?

I've been producing a lot this last year, and I came up with many good beats. I've met a few rappers around here, and about 4 who are really talented. I've been working with them, but they just can't keep up with me... They don't write fast enough, they don't seem to want to work on it as much...

i made a very good beat yesterday, and i thought it sound very trendy, it has a lot of potential you know... But it made me think: any of you ever wrote a very good beat, but trashed it because it was too unoriginal? i mean... the beat in itself is not a copy of anything that's out, but still...

anyone got a good orchestra hits samples? i'm definately lacking one. and a bell tree too if you got a good, long sounding one :) thnx

Where do I look for samples (especially one shot drum samples)? I'm hunting samples at the moment and I was wondering where you guys get them. I make music using only Reason, so I'm getting kind of sick or the sounds that come with it. Btw, I don't mind spending a little money to have better sounds.

i was just wondering what is the average around here. i'm 18

i see everyone posting beats and tracks and uh... i'd like to get some feedback on mine... but is there a safe way to do it? like not get them stolen for example

It might be a type of bells... i wouldn't know, but many people use it, i just took a 2 examples... you can hear it on these songs 00:05 - Can I Get A... Jay-Z 00:12 - Wanksta - 50 cent if anyone know where i could download this sound, would be appreciated :)

anyone know if there are any well known producers that use computer software to produce songs? who and what are they using, if there are any? thnx for answering

can anyone tell me what i should know about panning? are there any basics, like things you must and things you shouldn't do? and when recording vocals, when you double them up, do you have the mc do them twice and superpose them or do you just use the same part and make it sound like it's...

On what levels does a soundcard improve the music you produce? Does it make a big difference? And I'm using reason to produce instrumentals. What do I need to incorportate lyrics, to record a whole song? Cause we got the words and the music, only mixing it all together is left to do. What do...

I've been looking for redrum rap drum kits... anyone has any? Or any good rap patches for any of the other devices? thnx in advance

What is the best program to produce rap beats in your opinion? What are you using? How does it work for you?

Is it possible in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, to make a wav file, if i'm using a SB PCI-128 sound card, Yamaha SXG70 SoftSynth and Windows 98??? --- They say i have to arm one open track with a source of stereo--- i can't figure out what they are talking about. If i arm an open track, do i have to do...

I'm only 17 and began to like rap 2 years ago, and I started making some beats with Cakewalk (Pro Audio 9/Sonar) and many people have listened to them. They all love them, and they're really impressed since I'm 17. I have lots of experience in music since I've played violin for 3 years, piano...
