I grew up in a house that had all types of music and I expose myself to everything I can. Growing up my dad listened to The Beatles, a lot of blues stuff, 70's rock, old country. My mom listened to all that easy listening stuff from the 80's and early 90's as well as bands like Bread, and...

I would rather listen to any rapper ever instead of listening to Nickleback. I mean, I don't even care, MC Hammer, Snow, MC 900 Ft. Jesus. Give it to me, anything's better than Nickleback. Now that's not music! haha

I use both Logic and Pro Tools and I like them both. I have to say, analog is great when done properly, it sounds good, and if you tell someone you did your album or whatever on 2" tape they're impressed, but if you get good at it, Pro Tools can sound damn close to analog. Logic I only use...

I'm running OSX...not sure which version. Not Tiger, I know that. I tried that link, and that file that they tell me to trash isn't in there. I tried to reinstall it, but that didn't work either. Oh, and it's an Mbox 1, not the Mbox 2.

I just got an mbox and I installed pro tools on my powerbook G4. Now everytime I try to open up pro tools the screen goes dark and it tells me I need to restart my computer in about 5 different languages. I restart my computer and try to open pro tools again and same thing. Can someone...

Anyone else got any interesting links along the lines of a "how-to" on sampling?

Well, I don't really know what I'm looking for. I'm really looking for another mixer...analog. Ummmm....bass guitars, cool drum machines, mics, I don't know exactly. I can get some pictures to you. They might not be great pictures as I don't actually have a digital camera, they would be...

Thanks man.

Alright, I've been doing stuff with hip hop beats for little while. Nothing that in my opinion is really postable, mostly because I don't like the way things sound yet, but that's neither here nor there. My question is about sampling. How does it work really? You just find a record (or cd...

Sorry that was so long.

I want to say this first and foremost, I respect your opinion, and your right to have that opinion. However, there are some things wrong with your arguments here. "All heavy metal groups have satanic names and have bloody pictures on there albums and all that crazy stuff." This isn't true...

Got any pictures? I might be interested in this. I don't know yet. I gotta do a little research since I've never heard of this board before.

I'd also be willing to trade for the right thing.

I'm just trying to get a feel for how much I could get for my Yamaha O1V digital mixer. It's a good board and I've used it on a few projects, I just want an analog board. All this digital stuff scares me. haha If anyone is interested send me a PM with a reasonable offer and we'll see if we...

I'm surprised that no one mentioned DJ Shadow. His cd's (Endtroducing, and The Private Press) are filled with hip hop instrumentals. He does have a bunch of songs with vocals, but a lot of times they're samples and not dudes rhyming over his beats. He's good.

Does it strike anyone else that (as Jon Stewert pointed out) one of the greatest directors in history, Martin Scorsese, doesn't have an Oscar, but this mediocre rap group does? Don't get me wrong, this song was better than the Dolly Parton song, and the song from Crash, but that is some fucked...

I have a couple drum machines and if one doesn't have the sound I want, I can usually find it in the other one. I have a Zoom Rhythmtrak 123 which is probably about $150 new, and I have an Alesis SR-16 which is also probably about $150 new. They are great. I find I use the Zoom for more rock...

You don't listen to other rappers, but you name yourself after a sitcom character from a sitcom that wasn't that good. I mean, come on man, are you from Mepos? What up? HA! Sorry man, no disrespect, I just thought it was funny that your name was Balki.

FEIVA SAID: "Also good point about the equipment. I've saved a LOT of money doing that. For instance, I wanted to get an MPC 1K. I debated on it for months...then I decided, why should I do that when I have Reason, Cubase SX, and a laptop? Kind of defeated the purpose for me. The beats and...

I didn't get a PM. Can you resend it? I'll PM you too in case you don't check this thread again.
