Aight to who ever is reading this, help me out!!!

About a few months ago i got the idea of starting my own rap group. So i got some homeboys with me in this project, so im going to be raping but i alo want to be the producer and i want to buy everything that i need myself without the help of my homies cause i want to make the decisions myself. now im not saying im going to do what i want i will listen to them just that in the end ill be the one making shit happend, and if there is any problems in the end and we breake up they wont want they shit back and im stuck for a while not able to do a thing until i get some cash and buy the equipment again. well i just want to know what do i need to get my group started. All i have is a program called audio studio generation 6 and it has an unlimited number of tracks to record on. Also do i use that or do i still buy a multi track recorder wich one is better. and could you please specify what i need and what exactly it dose and what is it used for.

Thank alot, J.X
 
The multi track software you use is almost a secondary concideration. They all sound relatively good. As long as it's user friendly and supports one of the plug in formats (directX, VST, etc) and you're not concerned with transportability (taking your project to another studio for some reason that's using something like ProTools). Personally I use Cakewalk9 and Vegas for multitrack editing and SoundForge5 for two track.
The things you should be thinking about are quality microphones, quality mic preamplifiers and a quality way into the computer (the soundcard/interface to the computer, stable clocks, good A/D converters).
The rest is lots of practice and developing your recrding chops and your ears.
Welcome to Gear Acquistion Syndrome. Hope your cards aren't maxed. Yet.:D
 
You need to share some more info with us here at HR.COM...
What is your budget?

What is your technical level?

Have you produced music before?

You might need to do some more reading around these forums.

:)

You are talking like the little teenage kids calling my studio saying...hey, we saved for two years and got $100. Can we record a 12 track demo in 2 hours?

No offence, but if I read your post I get the feeling you have absolutely no idea what your talking about. Try to read some of the posts on this forum for lets say a couple of months. Than reconsider your thoughts.
 
so im going to be raping but i alo want to be the producer

Lay Off

I think it's pretty obvious that the kid is a newbie...and wait what's this? Oh yes, this thread is in the newbie section. That's what I thought. Don't make fun of someone who doesn't know as much as you...that's the whole point of this bbs...for people to learn. Maybe you're not into rap, and neither am I, but I can respect the talent and what they're trying to do.
 
So you never were a freshman at college? You have two post on you when I type this. Who are you to decide wether we are treating this dude ok or not.

Don't get me wrong. We really appreciate the fact he is asking stuff. And yes, we can be cruel. But we don't mean it personall, it's like kidding with your friends. Same goes for you. Don't take any offence about the first alinea of this reply. Hey m,an, we're all glad you are joining this BBS. Once you'll get some more timesharing with us, you'll find out we don't mean any harm. Personally I think the dude starting this thread has little experience, and doesn't exactly know what he's talking about. Ok, I kind of overreacted, but with five beers in me, the phrase raping was kind of funny to me.

Please stay a while at this bbs, and you'll find out we're actually pretty nice dudes.
I'll bet you.
 
Electrokat- It's common practice to anal rape all newbie here. It's our way of saying welcome to the club.

so bendover, yo. I gottsa get my groove on.
 
I just noticed that J.X. still has only two posts on his account. Mayby we really scared him off?

Ok J.X., on a personall note. We are the people with good intentions. We were the people acting like jerkes. You didn't offend anybody. we are to blame. Shame on us. please come back and........

stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust)

When you said goodbye
I was trying to hide what I felt inside until it passed me by
You said you'd return
You said that you'd be mine till the end of time
Well don't wait any longer, why don't you come back

(Why don't you come back, please hurry)
(Why don't you come back, please hurry)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust)

Oh, since you've been gone
Opened my eyes and I realized what we had together
Will you ever return or have you changed my mind
If you wanna stay mine just love me forever, love me forever

(Why don't you come back, please hurry) please, why
(Why don't you come back, please hurry)
(Why don't you come back, please hurry)
(Why don't you come back, please hurry)

Just come back and stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust) don't ever leave

(Did you write the book of love)
Mmm mmm mmm (ego, envy, lust)
Ooh ooh ooh (did you write the book of love)
Well it... at... everything we had together
(Ego, envy, lust) I don't wanna lose it
Don't wanna lose it, all the time we had
(Did you write the book of love)
The times that we had (ego, envy, lust)
 
This makes 3

Yes, this is only my third post, but i've been reading posts on this bbs for longer than that.

Don't worry...I've already discovered that people here are nice and very helpful as well.
