    Engineers Who Also Produce Enter!!

    Totally not true. Before I knew a lick of music theory I was making songs just by pressing various keys that sounded right when played after one another. This tends to get time consuming so thats when I feel theory comes in. My opinion of theory is just knowing why things sound good; you dont...

    Understanding Chords and Composing!!!!

    Examples I Would Like Analyzed Ok time to nip this problem in the bud... Ive a file that contains 3 rap song examples. These three songs contain chords, I just would like someone to analyze the theory in the songs. I have the songs fading from one to the next so be sure to listen to all 3...

    Understanding Chords and Composing!!!!

    Ohhh ok, Im getting it now. What I did was this, correct me if Im wrong. I played CEG for 4 beats, then I played FAC for 4 Beats, then I played GBD for 4 beats, lastly I played CEG again for 4 beats. If Im right, tell me how Im supposed to loop this; do I start at CEG again (the I chord) or do...

    Understanding Chords and Composing!!!!

    Now we are getting somewhere!! So you mean to tell me that the I-IV-V isnt meant to be the same notes I am supposed to play? So does that mean that I can play a progression like I-I-V-I-IV-I and it will still be considered I-IV-V format?? Instead of telling me to learn an instrument, just try...

    Understanding Chords and Composing!!!!

    Thanks for the post, but Im still confused. I listen to the Batman song but I remember about it is what you posted. I cant figure out how long to play chords progressions and how to loop them. I keep getting mixed signals. My book states the I-IV-V, and you state the IV-V-I. Which is it, WOULD...

    Thanks for the drops, well Illacov I understand your point about Reason and Cubase. But!!!! If you really get info FL like I have, you'll see that you can do almost everything you'll ever need to do with your production in the program alone. MIDI, Sampling, Chopping, its all there and faster...

    Understanding Chords and Composing!!!!

    I read an idiots guide to music theory and it helped me understand scales and chords more. Still there are things I still can't understand. I make nice hip hop beats, and I see all this talk about chords. I know lots of R&B have chords but I dont understand what all this shit means. I understand...

    Engineers Who Also Produce Enter!!

    We all understand that mixing is a big task alone, so I want to know how engineers who also produce use shortcut formulas to make hot music, but not taking away from your creative process. Heres an example of how I approach my music. I honestly use FL Studio to do my drums. I then use it to...

    I'm back with another new banga!

    I like the lyrics more than the production. Production is cool too, just not innovative, pretty repeatative. You are a deep brutha keepin doin ya thang yo. Where you record this? What type of gear, ya kno? I feel Dj on da Hi-Tek resemblence.

    best hiphop producer?

    I'd have to say Davonte Swing because without him, there would be no Timbaland or Missy. He showed Missy production from point A to point B; then Missy put Tim on the production tip. Davonte also holds credits for most of Tupac's commercially released hits such as "I Get Around", "I Came To...

    Whats The Point Of Mixing Anyway!!

    I see a lot of post on here, some of them are mine about effective mixing. One thing people fail to include most of the time is what you hope to achieve when mixing a track. For example, when you mix a hip-hop track, are you trying to get all of the drums and instruments pretty much even on...
