Yeah, I did all the beats they're rapping to. They recorded the entire album at my house and I have already been compensated for recording but I mixed the songs for free. Also, the publishing issue. What's the difference between the contracts here and the paperwork I'll need to do for publishing?

I am producing an album for a rap group from Tanzania. Their songs are being mastered now. They recorded the entire album using my beats. I want to make sure I can recieve some royalties for my work. The album will be complete in less than 3 weeks and we haven't signed a contract yet. I do...

Sounds like pure crap. The rappers I work with, have a habit of using 3 or 4 layers of the same damn verse. I guess it's kinda like Tupac or maybe Eminem. The difference is, When Eminem does it, you can barely hear it. You have no problem hearing the lead vocal. When the rappers I...

sent a PM. Please check it

I record everything in Nuendo in 16 bit 44.1 khz. I usually convert to mp3 using Cool Edit Pro (since I don't know how to successfully convert to mp3 using Nuendo) then email a copy to the artists. If they feel good about the mix, I then send it to the mastering engineer (my older cousin). If I...

somewhere in the area or $30-$40 per song. But there are 3 albums. 1 has 14 songs and the other 2 will be between 10-14 each. If I can get a master for around $35, that would be great. That's what the other guy is charging. The price wouldn't be so bad if we were all satisfied with the finished...

I can dig it. Thanks. I think the problem is that i've been discouraged. For the past 3 years, I've been practicing, reading, and asking many questions about mixing. Then I started production work for a rap group. We're all on a budget so I decided to try to mix their songs myself. I figured it...

What are you guys charging? for mixing/ mastering?

Anyone here willing to master my songs for dirt cheap and still do a good job? The guy who's mastering my songs now is a former member of an 80's R&B band. He's making the music sound like that type of stuff. This would be no problem if it weren't for the fact that I do HIP-HOP music. My mixes...

Why just Detroit hip hop? Why not HIP-HOP in general? If the crabs in a barrell theory is correct, Why cater to those damn crabs?

When did it become a rule that you had to "rep" your city? I'm from Detroit and I can take it or leave it. Honestly, I feel like none of us had a choice in where we grew up. It's gotten to the point where when an little-known rapper is mentioned, the first thing people ask is "where they from"...

yeah, it's official. I'm a big dope. I never even noticed that clinic. Any idea where I can slap a quick site together for uploading?

OH!! so that's why I too have been having problems. I am recording a Tanzanian rap duo. The first problem is that I don't speak swaheli, so I can't tell if the words are coming out clearly. The BIG problem is that these guys insist on using 3 or 4 layers of each verse. Recently, one of the...

*foot in mouth*. oops. I just noticed the "DIY mastering clinic" thread. Very good idea. You're way ahead of me. But, I still would like to know how to do a good mix before I dare take on the frightening task of mastering

I have seen some threads where people are asking members to critique a mix, scattered here and there throughout the mixing/ mastering forum. However, I was looking for a thread (or even an entire site) dedicated to that subject. I'm interested in learning how to upload my mixes so you guys can...

thanks a million. I sorta thought it was probably something simple like that

I am using a digi 001 with the ASIO driver which allows me to use it as an interface for Nuendo. I was getting used to opening rewire while Nuendo is open and then opening reason as a slave. This allowed me to mix the vocals in Nuendo with an instrumental in Reason, thus avoiding exporting all...

All this time, I felt I was doing something wrong by saving all my audio data to an external firewire drive. I had a computer crash on me in the past. I had to format and reinstall the O.S. I Lost a lot of data and quickly opted for the external LaCie drive. I was under the impression that...

I am using the digi 001 as my sound interface thanks to the ASIO driver made available with my upgrade to Protools 6.1.1. For all that are unaware, the driver allows you to use the digi as your sound interface with other non-digi programs such as Nuendo, Cubase and even Windows Media Player...
