    Spraycan Sample

    anyone have or know where i could find a sample or more likely a wav of the sound of a spraypaint can being shaken and sprayed? kind of random i know but i think it would make a sick sound effect on some tracks.

    Gradually changing the pitch of a sample

    Anyone know how to progressively lower the pitch of a wav sample in FL 6 or Sound Forge? What i'm talking about is like if you've got a record spinning on a turntable and you slowly slow it down, so it gradually decreases in pitch, that kind of thing...real popular right now with vocal samples...

    Why I am i always using the minor keys?

    I've noticed something odd about damn near every beat I make...i find myself using the black keys on my piano to compose instead of the major chords on pretty much everything. I mean nobody has complained about how my stuff sounds it just strikes me as odd that I always think the minor sound...

    Panning instrument to both sides

    I got a piano i want to put around 25% L and R in my mix, and I'm wondering if there's any way to tell reason to do this without duplicating the NNXT and using the mixer to pan each to one side at 25%. anyone know?

    Simple/Dre Style drums

    i've noticed dr.dre, scott storch, rotem, a lot of the west coast guys will often use very simple drum patterns on their beats. especially dre, sometimes its just K-S-K-S, etc I'd like to do this with some of my beats, i think keeping the drums this simple is nice for some compositions...

    Waves VST plugins in FL

    Does anyone else have trouble with the Waves SSL plugins opening in FL? I'll admit im using bootlegged software (i know this is the price i pay for doing that...), but whats strange is I've found maybe 5 different packages of waves stuff, from the L3 plugin alone to the entire diamond bundle...

    Resampling in Reason

    To Sanova or anyone else who does this...how do u resample in reason? i saw you post in the thread about dirtying up digital sounds in the lab section about resampling where you'll create a sound and then re-sample it. do i just knock out a sound in the nnxt or whatever and then re-import it...

    Why no Live 6 Forum?

    Do any of you guys use the new version of live for beats? I've heard this thing is a beast but I don't see it mentioned all that much around here or on hip-hop forums in general, so is it not good for rap production in particular?

    GURU VST (Step sequencer plugin)

    Has anyone here who uses Logic, Live, or Cubase tried the Guru vst? I am waiting to make the switch to a more powerful program at some point early next year but i have to say some things about fl are awesome for hip hop...primarily the step sequencer and the sample list you can scroll thru on...

    Getting instruments to hit faster

    Is there any way besides messing with the attack time to get an NNXT instrument to reach a high volume faster? I notice with some of the strings and things like that they take a while to hit, or whatever you want to call it, and if I'm trying to compose a fast melody it can become a problem...

    Place to Research best software

    Right now I'm using FL 6 and Reason and since I've been getting serious about my production recently, I'm starting to think about making a switch down the road to a more hardcore DAW (and that isnt anything against FL, I know its a solid program. but it ain't logic..) I'm not gonna ask the...

    Toning down combinator

    This weekend I made a pretty sick beat using about 5 NNXT patches together in the combinator, and now I need to put the finishing touches on this track and I've realized I just can't get any solid drums on it because the low end of my mix is extremely muddled from all of these instruments...

    General 808 tips

    So I know a lot of this comes down to experimenting on my own, which I'm doing, but at the same time, just thinking about how much the 808 has been used over the past decade I'm assuming there are some pretty agreed upon techniques by now for getting the sounds a little nicer and not as standard...

    Compression before or after EQ?

    If i'm compressing an instrument like a synth from reason, should I be Eq'ing before or after? Or both? On the same note, if I'm boosting an 808 kick around the 100hz range but I also want to add some punch, should I compress before or after eq?

    Compensating w/o Near Field Monitors

    Right now I don't have the money for a set of good NFM's although I should in a few months, so I'm working off of some JBL Monster computer speakers (the 3 piece set w/ subwoofer). The sound is pretty solid but I know these speakers colorize my sound and one of the things I'm wondering about is...

    Suffle/Flam Hi Hats in Step sequencer/PR

    So I just got done watching Sanova's what you know remake video, and one of the things he did in reason got me thinking about FL. he was showing how in the redrum program in reason, which is kind of similar to the step sequencer, there's function hwere you can tell the program to flam or...

    Fl/ReWire Maxing out horribly

    I have no idea what is going on because I have a ASIO sound card and keep my levels low, even when I rewire, but when I started working on this beat last night, once I combinated 3 or 4 synths in Reason, every 2 or 3 measures when FL repeats the basic pattern I'm working on, it makes this...

    Vst Effects & Rewire/Reason

    I'm having some trouble understanding how I can use Vst effects either in Reason itself or in FL (I use Rewire and sequence in Fl, not reason) on reason instruments. I searched the reason manual for vst and nothing came up, and what I can't figure out is that unlike other channel types in FL...
