which beat maker here will make it big???

[afriquedeluxe]

chances of makin biggggggg cash as we all kno are slim in wateva u do. But if any of the beat makers here make it big in dis industry, make sure to big up FADE n Illmuzik, cuz it has helped alot of cats. Man cant believe how big dis site gettin, mo n mo sign ups everday, yo da team keepin dis up deserve praise...

[Fade]

Thanks for the props. It would be interesting to see one of IllMuzik's members hit it big! I don't have any predictions, but there are some cats on here with some heat.

[N.U.G.]

interesting. anyone here has the potential to make it big if they stay committed and continue to grow and learn.
I've really liked that beats that have won the "Beat This" competitions, so maybe they could be first, but who's to know?

peace

[milLion]

whomever aspires to will eventually do so -- *wink* -- the forums definitely are a basis for a lot of building -- really can't forget who helped you progress

[SpLitPerSonaliT]

I think it will be me, if anyone

[EXEL THE BRAIN]

Confidence is a good thing but arrogance is not......Give a reason why you think if anyone makes it ,it will be you!!I also didn't know you were the best producer on Illmuzik

[OneNineBlock]

i feel i got potential, like im fukin wit some weak ass equipment ya kno whut im saying..im saving up my bones and even joinin tha army to cop 6 g'z to start up my lab ya knaw mean...i am producing filthy shit on fruityloops and shit, i donno i feel as if i had better equipment i could just grow so much more as a hip hop producer

[Encore]

I havent put any beats on ill muzik yet, but im planning to.Ive heard some of the beats on this site and they are pretty good.I started on a little boss dr groove and dr sample,i thought the beats i made on that compared to what some people were putting out.Now i use an MPC and a Triton Le, and in my opinions the beats are ranking.I feel ive created some "classics" with these peices of equiptment.So to all of you saving out there make sure you research and test before you buy.Some times youll miss the sounds of your old equiptment.As for people makin "it" off this site its anyones game.Though my shits not on the radio and i have no record deal, i feel i made it every time someone hears a beat i made and compliments it, it makes me feel good inside.

[HaZwaiOh]

encore, i´m feeling you.

[C-4]

I like SpLitPerSonaLiT`s answer. I`ll use the same. Why? Cause I know if I keep at it, I will make it. I`m not putting others down in here, inrctyhoodmusic. I don`t think I`m the BEST. But it doesn`t take the best to make it. Sometimes it takes just plain ol determination. And being the BEST you can be. There`s room for everyone, friend.

Peace

[inrctyhoodmusic]

C-4 you gave a reason but splitpersonalit didn't ...Like I said confidence is good and arogance is not so you're defending someones post that didn't give a reason....why take up for him if he has something to say I'm Sure he will say it !!!

[C-4]

Point well taken, inrctyhoodmusic.

One.

why does everyone think that "Real equipment" will save your day? It's all the same thing, I own a triton and MPC and Ill take what I have on the computer anyday because it gives me more freedom and options! Sure they come off with better sounds on hardware, but an akai cd will fix that! :cool:

[Treynine39]

Equipment isn't everything. I have limited money, so my studio is jaut a Roland MC 505 and a digital 4 track with a mixer. And I've heard that the tracks I make with artists is just as good if not better then some producers with the Triton, MPC, software, adn so on. So, you pretty much just gotta perfect the piece of equipment yo uhave, and most of all.....BE CREATIVE!

[JPeg]

Thats an interesting topic, there r alot of high quality producers on here, time will tell.

As for thinking u need better equipment to be a better producer, NOT true how do u explain 9th wonder?

[HaZwaiOh]

It´s been said so often but I´ll just repeat it once again: YOU are making the beats, NOT your equipment.

[CamCreationz]

ITs definitley the user, not the equipment.
Ive heard some hot ass beats made with almost nothing.
Of course you cant comapre the quality of something recorded at a pro. studio by a talented producer and engineer, to something recorded at a home studio w/ Fruity Loops and Cool Edit...
but thats where ti all starts.
People ask me all the time....
"What do you use to make beats, an MPC?"
I just tell them "PC and a keyboard. Thats it."
Its not what you use, its how you use it.
I hope I make it big someday.

[milLion]

all of you will make it -- if you so desire to do so -- some will be producing for films, some for games, some for commercials, and some for artists -- only those who aspire will do so -- i'll say it again if you need me to!!!!!

[joblack00]

yeah I really like this site the support here is awesome....I am still kinda torn about the making it big stuff I hate all the sideline stuff that goes on in the industry...I like doing it now for my boys as an excape from the capitalistic where each day it gets easier to sell out...And I just like the look of someone nodding their head to something I created.... I am kinda fearful I will get tainted as if I aint alreadyby going to the big leagues... but some days I just be straight up like I am better than this cats in the game so why aint I charging heads ridiculous amounts for production on albums.... who knows... I care and I don't...I am not much of an ass kisser either which is prob big on getting a break...but I like this site now for the support and non hostile learning enviorment which is important right now when learning...


yeah I heard about 9th wonder my boy told me about him...I don't know about equipment but you do got to master what you have before you upgrade...

[MadScientist]

:confused: Its so hard to tell if someone can make it because its not really based on talent anymore. Its Politics!There are alot of producers that suck but make it big because of who they know or who they hang with. Most good music is not appreciated. Bottom Line!:headbang:

[inrctyhoodmusic]

it's not what you know it's who you know.....and it has been like that for a very very long time

[Wattz21XX]

im tryin to make it big right now and i got alot of ppl feelin my music but industry ppl do get at me with the "real equipment" thing. as far as equipment i have none at all, just a pc and software. i personally dont see anything wrong wit using just software even tho it does have alot of ppl thinkin they can automatically become a super producer but there are also ppl wit the skill and the heart for the music but not the budget. i am broke 6 out of 7 days of the week but im still tryin to make music and still tryin to get it heard. i just dropped some promotional stiff to try to get my name out...i produced a cd that my boy Rk dropped in florida and its gettin aroun, and i also did a remix for Daz of dpg which should be gettin on the air waves on the west coast pretty soon. but im still sittin here tryna get money to buy a mpc4000 cause ppl tell me i would be great with it just as much as they say i "need" it. so im still tryin to make big. (but will they even want just a software producer)... :/

It's not what you have but what you can do with it!!!You have people that have all kinds of hardware but can't push nothing hot out , but you also have people that use nothing but software that pushes out nothing but hot joints....It's all on the man behind the buttons

[bigdmakintrax]

Trey you got it man, its all on the creativity you put into it...forget the gear....

but on the other hand if UR doing it for the industry....U must have top of the line equipment...no doubt....I know this for a fact though...but at the lil leagues...not really.....I know someone will comeback an say that ain't so.....but I again attend all kinds of events whenever I can with already established producers and any I have been too always stress the importance of having the best gear....sometime they use relics like the sp1200 and the mpc60...but generally they do switch out to get new hardware...

[TITO]

if you dont belive in your work how do you expect anyone else to.

That's one hell of an attitude...I like that

[Wattz21XX]

its not that i dont believe in my work, its that i got ppl tellin me that i basically "need" equipment to make it...

[Captain_Rid]

Thats right originality and style is the key to any piece of equipment.
I got a keyboard and Acid 4.0 and old records its was you make of it.
Will see what everyone gots in the next compitition.

[Guevara]

MPC=My Personal Computer

[OneNineBlock]

yo when i sed that its becuz u need real equpiment...i donno your a fool if u think working with fruity loops is way better...u can be so much more accurate in everything if u make it on good equipmetn and plus i hate sitting on my computer all day jsut to make beats ide rather juss have the shit so i wouldnt have to be on it all day i notice hella cats on this site are juss computer geeks n shit tryin to make beats i donno no disrespect to tha majority of u hoo aint but i notice a bunch of kids on ehre juss are straight up Herbs....but yah im out peace...cant wait to get my MPC

[Knock Out]

Ok: The person who started this thread should define "making it." To some people, making it is just being heard. To others, making it is being on TV and having your own clothing line. What it all comes down to is time and place. Everybody wants to make it big, but who really wants it, you feel me?? Who's really trying to find themselves the best artists to represent themselves with? I for one can say I am. Who really is putting thier all into every beat they make?? Again, I know I am. I'm not even saying any of that cocky, it's just the truth. If any of that is true for you, than you can say it too. All I know is, I'm co-owner of a label I started with my boys about 2 years when I was 15. I'm the ONLY producer out of about 10 of us, (which I like,) and litterally every artist on my label is fire. FIRE. Kids who seriously toss out flyers and freestyle wherever they can get attention. So in response to the original post topic, I do feel like I have a strong chance of making it. I've just told you why. I'm putting myself out there and proving I'm hungry.

[Beatz 101]

Ima make it

change da game on yall busters that think makin' beats on the cpu is wack. MPC is a computer, eva thought of dat??


i wont mind havin one but da bitch cost $2000+

i'd use both if i could

2000xl is about 1200$ or less now ..that would be witout the 8 output expansion...you can gou on ebay and get it for less....Not too many people hear diss computer beats because a lot of the guys here using software has a lot of hot shit

[Cold Truth]

first of all, to everyoe who keeps mentioning 9th wonder as one who made it with fruity loops, he is sampling exclusively from records at the same time, and so it is his arranging skill that is doing it, not the software. he would do just as well with an mpc or asr.....so he isnt composing his own music on fruity loops. i dont know who here uses exaclt what but judging from the kids i have heard out here with it they are plain, and plain boring to boot.

anyhow, i think that metrosoul could do it...... i think cam creations can and should definitley go to another level entirely..... thats all i can remember off the top- my realplayer is down so i cant hear anything right now. thequestion was who would most likely make it and then everyone started naming themselves and dancing around the question, "define the term 'make it'" or like my own partner- encore- said, "i feel like i make it every time i someone hears my music".... that wasnt the question and we all know it. encore, for one, uses my mpc, and doesnt use his triton le unless he has my mpc, which is disapointing, because with that type of work ethic he aint goin anywhere. metrosoul, cam, you two need to start working extra hard on your skills cause i think you are both right there and can make that leap. i hope yall maximize that potential. inrcity as well cause you can hear the radio potential in his tracks.... im sure some of you got left out but these are who i remember.

[inrctyhoodmusic]

WOW!!!Truth Told I must say thank you...I also agree with you about Metrosoul and cam....There are a few others as well But to the point I have to make!!!It's not what you have it's what you can do with it...Software or hardware it doesn't matter.....A person can have all the latest Hardware and not pound out a decent track one time in his life and the same with software....You have to put time and effort in don't settle for any beat make some shit That will have yourself saying this shit is hot....We are all our worst critics and if we can get ourself to say what the fuck did i do and how the fuck did I do it Then you can start doing things on the next level...And only people who will make it are out there grindin working with artist in the studio laying songs down and trying to hit any record company big and small just overall doing it...I'm not going to say I'm going to make it big but I will say i'm going to try.....I work an overnight job...fuck it I work for Target overnight and september will make two years I've been an overnight team lead we get two trucks a night with 1500-2300 peices of freight on it for 5 days a week I unload these trucks sometimes without help I'm in the truck picking up boxes and throwing them on the roller every night...I have a 18 month old daughter and I'm living with my girl(girls)..Every Sunday me and my artist does a song(for the past 7 weeks)..My only days off are sunday and monday....sunday morning when I leave work I go to my mothers house and sleep for two hours and get up and go to the studio and sometimes I nod off at the board for a few seconds every five to ten minutes because I'm so tierd but I refuse to unload these trucks for the rest of my life I have talent and I don't want to waste it.....I want to make it and I'm going to die trying to make it...Here it is I sleep no more than 4 hours a day because my girl works during the day and I work at night and we don't have a babysitter...I'm not just doing this for me I'm doing it for them as well..My girl don't like it and we argue a lot because we don't spend time together on my days off but she understands...I'm not looking for any sympathy I'm the kind of person that wants to see everyone do good no matter how I might make any of you mad sometimes like Fame keyz Onenineblock and even Truth Told...These are just a few of the names I got into it with in the threads here but I wish them all the best along with anyone else here...I'm just trying to motovate you guys and show yall this shit aint easy.....The easiest part is making the beats ...but along with making the beats you have to be dedicated and willing to sacrafice certain things in order to make it big...It's not easy at all.....If you look at it ,it's just like a job and you have to preform in order to succed.....

Peace

[Cold Truth]

man, as far as "getting into it" -at least with me- there is nothing wrong with having different views and perspectives and standing firmly behind them. i think (well i have) we all learn a lot from each other here because of those differences, you know? any how seriously, i hope the rest of yall "get there" and make it big. if you are good, the boys at illmuzik will congratulate and support you by buying and not DOWNLOADING your music....

if you suck, well, do us a favor and dont mention that you were ever on this site!!!!! hahaha just messin.... peace to all............

[themucka]

THE TRUTH WAS TOLD... WELLL SAID... I'M HEARING ALOT OF PEOPLES MUSIC ON THIS SITE... AND AS I CAN PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY HERE HAS A CHANCE.... IT'S ALL ON THE GRIND... IT'S ALL ON YOU..... THE MORE WORK YOU PUT THE BETTER YOUR PAYOFF WILL BE.....

[BeatOff]

Why do these topics always end with the hardware vs software argument? If you sell a beat to somebody and its already seperated into tracks it doesnt matter what equiptment it was made on. You send it off to who ever bought it and they usually run it through pro tools to master it. Once you sell a beat or beats to somebody thats it. I would like to know why some of you keep saying you need hardware? It makes no sense I used to have hardware and its the same exact process, the only difference is hardware takes almost 10 times longer to finish up everything.

[Cold Truth]

oh man.............. lets end this whole debate. everyone uses what best suites their tastes, and thats all there is to it. the end. we should really get back to the topic guys.

[Fade]

Yes, it's time to get back on topic or this thread will be closed. Sorry!

[Calkutta]

im pretty close to making it, not to gloat or anything, but i hope that i cross that bridge soon.

How are you pretty close to making it???What are you doing to be so close???Don't just tell us you're close explain to us why you're close!Not to sound like I'm coming down on you or anything close is almost you can come close to hitting the lotto but if that one number doesn't come out you were only close to being a millionaire but you're not...You can stay close but never make it....No disrespect intended

[Beatbrigade]

would be happy to see anyone with drive and commitment make it big!

[Copenhagen]

This thread has been around the block a few times now and could just keep on going. I'm closing it.

If anyone makes it big though, I'll personally be back to re-open it so they can post how they did it ;)
