    Would I get shit for doing this?

    http://soundcloud.com/illivillain/good-day-to-you-sir/s-dUTjD Sometimes I get a bad creative flow so I'll just take something out there and personalize it I guess. I took It was a Good Day by Ice Cube and messed with it, I'm not done yet. I've got a ton of beats so I was thinking about...

    Line in / Microphone in too loud when recording vinyl

    Would getting a mixer help reduce loudness? I have a Lenovo T60p. I have a Pioneer Vinyl player that goes to an pre-amp that then connects to my laptop and it's too loud. I tried reducing volume on my laptop recording but it's a no go... any ideas if getting a small mixer would help...

    fast hihat cymbal sound in Reason

    Thanks guys. I will try that. he isn't ripping off Aesop. ASAP stands for Always Strive and Prosper and then Rocky is his mc name. There's a bunch of ASAPs. I guess it's kind of like Wu-Tang.

    fast hihat cymbal sound in Reason

    How is this done, for example in ASAP Rocky's song Palace. @ 1:00 It doesn't seem to be done via just selecting all the cymbal hits in a row... is there some kind of plugin to do it?

    Is it ever ok to just loop a sample?

    I think this beat is so dope, it's basically the same sample throughout the song. Premier is great at this shit.

    Q for 'diggers'. or w/e you're called

    I go by the art cover. If it looks interesting maybe I can find one or two things on it. Works out well and isn't too bad since it's usually 1 dollar per record.

    How do you make a beat w/o words being spit on it yet

    I'm trying to produce some beats that will eventually have words on it. The issue I have is I usually end up just doing a intro/verse/chorus/verse/outro but when you listen to good hip-hop they always add some variation. This is hard for me because I don't have a rapper on the track. What do you...

    Is technology making us anti-social?

    Yes I think so. I'm affected by it. I sit on the computer for hours and hours. Sometimes I would like to talk to a girl that I don't know but they're on their cellphone or have their iPod on playing music. That's life I suppose.

    Similar stuff to Rich Boy - Throw Some D's

    Similar stuff to Rich Boy - Throw Some D's

    Is there any artists that have a similar sound to this? I don't like new hip-hop too much but this beat is the shit. I don't think it samples anything which makes it a bit amazing to me for some reason.

    Sampling - Am I doing it wrong?

    Is Ableton Lite decent? I like sampling but I'm having a hard time doing it with Reason. I use Recycle to chop a sample, import it into Apple Loops Utility to make a AIFF, then I import it into Garageband and set the tempo I want, then I export it out there and then I'm able to use it in Reason 4.0
