MPC 2000 Triton My imagination

I get by selling tracks, DJ ing, and engineering sessions. Since my recording set up isn't all that great, I only charge $25 an hour. But if I need big money. I'll take a software implementaion consulting contract. They usually pay $1600 a week, but I'm on the road Monday through Friday. The...

I would suggest clearing the samples yourself rather than having the label do it. My experience has been that first, the publishers offer me a better deal, seeing as how I'm a small producer, as opposed to a big label with money, and second, when the label clear it for you the first thing they...

Anybody hear from Miami????? What's up with them pirate radio stations down there. Now they play whatever the hell they want. That's what I'm talking about.

I totally agree with not needing a gang of equipment to make hot joints. It comes down to your creative techniques on what you have. I can't tell you how many times I've been to someone's spot, and they have this room full of gear, and their tracks arn't hittin. It all comes down to what you...

Man, that is great. Tell'em I wish him the best. I love to hear success stories like his. I also work with some teenagers on music. It's a group I signed to my production company, and from some of the things they tell me they used to do, I found them just in time to make a positive difference...

It's just the cycle of things. It's been going on for a long time now. Once markets get over saturated, and the product too commercialized, new forms of whatever product it is(music included) will appear. These new forms will be raw, edgy, and unconcerned with commercial appeal. This is how rap...

Congrats on your first comp P, go in there and win the whole damn thing next time. ......For my people in and around Tha A, the monthly Beat Battle is going down next Thursday at the Apache. See ya there.

I apologize for this one. Young Joc has been bangin' down here since late last year. I should've put y'all up on this. One of my homeboys, Nitty did the track. He's also produced for Jeezy, he did "Dem Boyz" for Boyz n tha Hood, and did a couple cuts for 8Ball and MJG. The song may not seem...

I'm feeling that one. Simple but effective. I would try some crash cymbals in there to make it real big. With this one, and that other one you did that I was feeling, it sounds like your coming up with your style. Keep bang'em out.

That's when you're doing it for the love of it.

The late, great J Dilla (it kills me just to say that), Handsome Boy Modeling School, Danger Mouse. Just to name a few who do it.

Somehow I knew you were gonna come in and say something like that.

I was feeling 47. I like the dynamics in it. You had some nice layering of music too. 48 didn't really move me. I was't feeling the drums, prolly cuz they're Triton drums, and I've been working with those for years myself, so disregard that cuz that's my personal bias. The flute felt too soft...

Good Point Fieva

Don't know if y'all heard or not, but Professor X of the X Clan passed due to spinal minigitis. If you don't know who the XClan is, find out and get familiar with it. "To the East Blackwards" was a hot album, back when it was cool to rock African medallions. I could play it all the way through...

I see you've been playin around in someboy's dusty old blues records. Seem like a time it gets a little cluttered, but overall I like it, I could see some organ on it, just to really make it soulful.

I'd say hi end sine leads, and guitars.

If you said disregard the freestyle what were we supposed to listen for? The recording quality? That was good if that's what you were talking about.

The first track could use a little work, I would suggest layering it some more, and adding transition sounds when moving from hook to verse. Now that second one, like Fieva said not really for D4L, but that track has a lot of energy to it. I'm feelin that one. That one hit me as soon as that...
