    What does this thing with the black and white keys do? And who made this fucking banger?

    Cleverwon had a whole crew with Benny Buku, Stresswon and others. Smash Brothers did their thing. Lots of collabs going on back in the days, there was an element of teamwork making the dream work. I know its a fucking cliche and I hate that saying but it does ring true. Building relationships...

    A dedicated scratch instrument? Wow Machine prototype

    Just had a look at prices for full mix controllers, they are a lot cheaper than one of those things and would be much more worthwhile buying.

    I know, if people went through them they would find everything they needed to know, I made this more as a way to get us all talking to each other, its the only way we really get to know each other and build some community spirit. I really miss the old days and want them back. Hip hop wasnt built...

    The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul

    You cant really beat the by ear method for keeping your ears tuned up and not getting lazy or complacent, but hey, its the future bro, shit is so fucking easy nowadays lol

    Here's a quick hot tip.. When using reverb, especially on drums, but really in all cases IMO, cut the low frequencies off of it. It really stops for example a snare sounding boxy and muddy. Low frequencies don't sound very good with reverb so just cut them off, I usually chop off below around...

    The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul

    One of my most used plugins is Waves Pitchshifter, also Arcade is really great because as long as you can work out the key of the sample you can set the key for it and all the samples will be the right key, whether they fit or not is another matter but it really helps make the workflow fast. I...

    I'm President Calvin Coolidge.

    Welcome to Ill, never in all my years here have we had a legit US President around here, had a God here at one time but no US Presidents.

    ReCycle - Now Free!

    Cubase is my DAW of choice these days. Was using FL Studio for a while but when it comes to recording at the studio I don't like the way it does things, so I decided to go all in with Cubase as I already know it so well. That said, I just found out today that you can rip stems from within the...

    If they took 100 off the price I may be tempted as shipping is included in the price. But 239 euro's would still hurt, but its a pain I could probably bear.

    Fucking 'ell, that's a bit too steep for me, considering the only thing you can do with it is scratches. I'll wait for the sales lol

    Too many are chasing trends instead of setting them. Following paths already laid out instead of making new paths to be followed by the sheep. Boom bap is having a little bit of a resurgence, an old path itself that I myself follow, but I do try to be unique within that path and do things my...

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    There is a beat in warzone that I assumed was yours, the bass was way too loud and a bit distorted. I may be mistaken and its not your beat at all, it wont be the first time. I did vote for it a couple times despite the bass as it was a good beat despite that, but I suspect that is why it...

    @Iron Keys There are ways each of us can all step up our games, the pursuit of making the perfect beat is never ending. The learning never stops, the more you learn the more you find there is to learn, I've been doing this for 3 decades and I'm still learning, still getting into ruts and...

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    Mixing a beat is slightly different to mixing a song with lyrics, as with a beat you need to leave some space in the vocal frequency range to allow the vocal to sit. Unless the beat is never intended to be rapped on and is intended to just be an instrumental. The biggest thing is there are no...

    My first tip is to study other people's music. Listen very closely to how your favourite producers put their beats together. From the types of sounds they use, the swing, the way they keep their tracks interesting, from subtle to more complex variations. Don't be afraid to copy little things...

    This is an appeal to some of the veterans here to share one or two tips or techniques that you have learned over the years that some of the new guys can use to add to their arsenal. Maybe we can get a little discussion going on, because there isn't much of that around here any more. I would...
