    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    I don't know about y'all but no matter what I make, it's "MY SOUND". All music is influenced by someone or something else so stop tooting your horns as if your shit is 100% original and doesn't in some way borrow from something that came before it. If you're sampling, then your using an...

    Production Hip Hop Production or CSI Beats?

    Yeah, I peeped out that synth a while back. I think it's dope for EDM/electronica for sure because it's really got that "on the fly", live performance vibe to it. It seems very fast an intuitive and could be dope for hip-hop too though. It's a bit large though, seems to take up a lot of room...

    When you get into this game called "the music business", it's just that...THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC which implies that for the most part, you're in it to make money. I used to think like you @Spuntastic. I was emotionally attached to my beats and only wanted the perfect artists to appear on them...

    Studio Monitors

    Believe me when I tell you, save up the scratch to get some good quality studio monitors.

Your monitors are...
