Yeah, kcearl is right too much sibilance, beat is too low, compress... It also sounds like you might have used some kind of noise removal? There is some kinda artifacts on the vox. And take a little more time on the next one. Do as many takes as you need to get it right. Don't be lazy; it sounds...

not really, maybe just some higher frequencies will be affected. Look into some OC703 and rockwool

i'm sure these have all been mentioned, but 1. compress the hell out of it 2. distortion plugin 3. amp simulator

Come up to Richmond and I'll record you for $20 an hour WITH FREE MIXING! IT's THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY!

Yeah, despite the internet revolution, I think playing shows is the best thing you can do. YouTube should just be for stuff you can show people if they ask

Why don't you try and get up with the guy that does the hip-hop show saturday nights on 97.3? He plays my shit sometimes and as a rapper he might want you to come into the studio and talk about what you're doing sometime and that would be free promotion, even if it's just on an indie radio station.

Agreed. If someone gives you a drum loop, a bass loop, and a synth loop, and you put them all together, that doesn't make you a musician. But there are a million ways to go about making a song. You can make a hip-hop beat that is as musical as you want it to be. Do you think you or some...

I know you're just going by what you know, but what I'm saying is that you don't know. Of course you can't think of a rap song that uses anything other than ebonics because that's all that the mass media has shown you. I'm not offended, I just think it's a shame. I'm trying to tell you guys that...

Thats a shame, you're missing out. Nat, girl, age 16, from the UK, thinks you should read it.

Unfortunately you're right about that. And I don't expect the average hip-hop guy to climb to the top of the charts, I'm just saying there is a little corner of rap that is worth something and is interested in progression. And the whole genre is not based on Ebonics.

Again, I care about music, I still purchase cd's of rappers (or any other MUSICIANS for that matter) that I find thought provoking. Sage Francis is not the 'latest and greatest' in the music biz, but he is an example of what I am talking about. He has made success out of making rap something...

Absouljaboylutely. Well said. I believe there are 2 kinds of 'rap'. There is rap, which sucks and has no purpose, and there is hip-hop, which presents an idea which is of value in some way to humanity. The first rarely employs poetic devices, the latter does so frequently.

Have you ever had that feeling that you're not quite sure where you fit in? You're not exactly a child any more, so you don't do kids' things. You're not really an adult, although you wouldn't mind having a go at some grown-up things. And everyone else in your class, and especially your older...

Yeah money sucks. I've got no money to put towards something like that right now. But as you know, I probably live right down the street from you so as far as gigs go, we could get up on that. You let me know, I'll let you know.

Yes I suppose it is, maybe I should have been more clear; by DJ I didn't mean the guy who presses play at the radio station, because no, that DJ is not necessarily a musician. By DJ I was referring to the production side of hip-hop. Think DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, 10,000 Hobos, that type of DJ, or...

To say that rap music cannot be improved or innovated is to say that all music has reached it's pinnacle and is now in a downward decline. (which may actually be true given all the crap that is out there these days) I could say that by the time the 80's rolled around, all rock music was shit...

I'm not really workin on my presence, but I hang around at, soundclick myspace reverbnation gearsluts futureproducers twitter facebook youtube and probably a few others

Honestly, I'm not feelin any of these. But if I had to pick, it'd probably be the first one. We're both in Richmond though, and as I just said this in another post, I graduated from VCU with a photo degree, so if you're willing to pay a little, I'd be willing to do a photoshoot for you and make...

I tried to check this out the other day, but it didn't work and it's still not loading now. Any idea why? Might be my computer. :confused:
