I was once working on a website to host MP3s like the ones here in this forum. I was only gonna host Hip Hop and R & B. I was also gonna give a mini webpage type of thing for each artists. I had also got in contact with some A&R's from a few Major labels that I know who would pop in and review song submissions at least once a week and leave feedback.

I guess it would be a mini bootleg version of MP3.c@m or the page that most around here post their tracks in. The only difference would be that it's only hip hop with a selected few people granted access. I guess like you guys in here.

I could start back with it and get a couple of guys from here to help who may have a little IT or graphix talent.

We could do a trial run with a few well known artists from here.

whatcha think ?

If you got connects like that to get a&r to offer up their 2cents, why don't you holla at spinsterwun or dragon to invite them cats to do so here? The hip-hop forum is barely alive (imo), and taking cats away from here to get peoples from this BBS to peep & critique shit kinda works against making this place phat.

Sure, there are heaps of strictly hip-hop BBSs, but since I frequent this one, i'd prefer for the action to stay here...

But again, this is coming from a dude who never posts shit for people to hear. Still, I dig the fact that others do.......

I feel ya,
But the people who I contacted before was for a totally different project that I was personally working on. As well as they were going to do me a personal favor. ( totally different concept),, I just was mentioning what the orignal project scope had plans for. I posted my response because I still have most of the orginal project done. Meaning I could alter the site as well as store MP3s for people in this forum using my IT resources.

I have no intentions of using it as a commercial site.

The original post was about somewhere to store newbie MP3s for people in this forum. Thats about it. In other words,, if I want someone to check out a track that I may have, I just post it and give them a link to it for streaming. I like it that way cause I can control it. There are other places to post MP3s though.

Basically, you read the posts in here as usual, but the MP3 links points to a place where the track could be played without having to leave this site

I want to put my two cents in here. I listen to the beats made on these boards and although i haven't had the opportunity to frequent the mp3 mixing clinic, the beats made in the hip hop/beats lounge are made by aspiring electronic musicians. We attempt to create art with our electronics. Many of us don't use the same techniques that conventional recording artists use. Overall, electronica should be considered separate from mainstream recording. I want to help homerecording.com, and I think by dividing the two (beats and hiphop/electronica producing topics), you're going to have less traffic to the hip hop portion of your site. Keep innovation alive and understand the necessity of marrying the two. I am a contributor to this and other boards on the net, and from a business perspective I believe you are doing your customers a disservice, by clumping the electro artists in with the ballad singers. If the back end of your server is an issue, perhaps its time for a systems upgrade. We as artists support your site, and we want respect as electronic musicians, instead of simply recording engineers, or singers with a cd.

I have some ideas for the site if you're interested.

thanks for your time

this is home recording dot com, so it seems pretty reasonable that all audio submissions to home recording dot com sit in the same forum.

I didn't realize this thread was about anyone's recording technique, but simply about submitting your material to the proper place on this BBS.

NOBODY posts on the dj/hip-hop/rap/beats any sort of "electronica," which, as I understand it, isn't hip-hop. Yeah, sure, we all use samplers & shit to make tracks, but when I produce a reggae track or blues thingy, it's no more "electronica" than Linton Kwesi Johnson or Muddy Waters, save some of the actual tools I used to make the music. As long as I've been a member here, I've never seen anyone (certainly not in this forum) asking about the things I think you make passive reference to in your post re: machine-based music. How many cats with MPCs or RSs know their machine well enough to use it's limitations to their advantage? How about knowing the cool features of each machine from programming perspectives? Strengths, weaknesses? Next to zero, i'd bet. Nobody asks how to create a sound from a sine wave or white noise, or even know what other types of waves there are (sawtooth, etc) and what any of that shit truly means. Instead, we all wanna know just where to find a goddamn sample of something most of us have the gear/software to make in a matter of minutes (or less). Nobody cares about programming shit (beyond what they can do already - boom-bip, da-boom-bip), and i'll bet most these midi-heads don't even know (for example) what the fuck a CC# is, what they're for, how to change them, and when & why. How many cats you see on here asking questions or offering commentary about any sort of synthesis to make cool new sounds? How many even know off tops what ADSR means? Gotta have a clue if you're off to do some intersting "electronica," if you ask me. So, many of us use computers as tools/instruments to make music, big deal. Nobody hates on that. Recording is recording is recording, give or take having to mic something live and routing it to one's mixer/recorder, or simply assigning a softsynth to a channel within or outside of your software. Why is it that people think recording beats is any different than recording anything else? Driving is the same, give or take a nuance or two, no matter what kind of vehicle it is you're driving. Sure, some vehicles require additional or modified skill sets, but still, the clutch, gas, and brake pedal flow left to right, regardless...

Besides, if there were an actual electronica forum, I don't think many heads'd be posting there unless they actually produce that kind of stuff - though it'd certainly be cool to see more folks on here who fuck with more club/dance-based electronic music. Oh well, I got a different dealer for that drug, anyways.

Maybe I just didn't understand your point...
