    Schedule/ routine

    Something I once read, which I find inspiring if I'm too tired to beat make - it's better to do a little each day that spend all day on a beat. Even if you work just 30 mins a day on a beat and push that beat forward by 1%, then you are making progress!

    Emotive Beats

    I was thinking today, what is the most emotive beat I have ever heard, so I thought I would open this question to the forum. I'll start - for me it's got to be 'Don't Cry' by Dilla. Gets me everytime!

    Music Theory Videos

    thanks for this link, i'll check it out later. Music theory is definitely good to know. At the moment I like to make beats with a sample, and then add synths etc., so basic theory is definitely good to know (such as scales, chord progressions and the like). I found the following quite helpful -...

    Schedule/ routine

    Native Instruments Maschine Jam!

    Looks really interesting. All the videos I can find so far though are of electronic music....will be good to see how hip hop producers utilise this hardware.

    Mpc 500

    Hi So I'm thinking of getting an mpc 500 or Korg electribe. Basically I don't have many hours a week to produce so I'm wanting something fairly simple. I am confused as to what an mpc is. Does this not come with any sounds at all. Do all sounds need to be imported or sampled in? Any...

    @d.fusion thanks for your feedback. That's exactly what i did, got a nice sample going on then added drums, bass, etc. I'm fairly new to beatmaking, so how would you suggest i improve this beat? What would you say are my main issues?

    @Chad and @Krass1 many thanks for the feedback, its much appreciated. Love your piano and synths chad. You both mention my sample being out of tune, how would i find the key of a sample snippet like i used (the piano line)? For the bass and other sounds i did ensure that they were in the same...

    As promised... @Krass1 man, your beats are dope! That first brooding bassline and vocals are great! On your second track I love the piano sample and drums..but when the second piano melody comes in...it makes the track fly! Good work...you have gained a follower on soundcloud
