Calling all the veterans
Yeah that's it. It was cool that I got to meet a few of these guys. Clev, Excellence, Holmz, and a couple of others I did/almost met up with. Today everyone would run and hide instead of meeting someone in person. -
Calling all the veterans
I agree. This is why over the years I've left it to everyone else to reply to certain topics because I felt like it was just me doing the work. I know nowadays not many people post (not just here, it's EVERYWHERE), but it's a shame since they don't know what they're missing. There's been plenty... -
The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul
Yeah it's like when I first used Traktor. Once I learned how I could have everything play at the same BPM it's like whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. It's cheating but so convenient. -
The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul
That sounds interesting. I've always just done it by ear. -
Calling all the veterans
Good thread. You all know I've written countless articles over the years with plenty of tips lol. But off the top of my head right now.... If you're in a beatmaking rut then just do something. Anything. Even just for 5 minutes. Even if you just turn on your machine or open your DAW and then... -
A dedicated scratch instrument? Wow Machine prototype
This is really good for guys that just want some quick scratches over their beat. The first thing I thought of is it reminded me of the QFO from back in the day. And I agree that the price is a bit too much. -
The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul
Yeah it's hard to find samples that can sound good with one another. Bomb Squad were crazy with the samples and would come up with something new entirely. One thing I tend to do is just find something from the same artist. So for example, if I'm sampling from Herbie Hancock, I'll find samples... -
FLIP IT! The Fog OST - "Tommy Tells of Ghost Ships"
I like the newer more. Maybe it's because it's a brighter mix, and just smoother overall. But both are dope.- Fade

The Importance of Drums
That's the thing - I know that today the drums are done differently but by studying how it was done years ago it can make a big difference. Maybe today they drag & drop a drum loop, or maybe they program their own drums, but at least do something to it. Not just that, but make the drums stand... -
The Importance of Drums
Yeah I don't use loops too much but for those struggling it's a great way to get something going. It can even just be used as a reference track where they can try to emulate it. Drums are always interesting because I think we all get lazy with them but they're so important, like you mentioned... -

Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
I'm not a fan of that guy but that was pretty good. -
The Importance of Drums
Good post. I've mentioned many times over the years about how important the drums are because they're the backbone. I've actually just been making drum loops recently for fun, but also trying to come up with some sort of variation and get out of my comfort zone. My advice is to look back at... -
