MPC X Special Edition
Cats in this group I'm in been saying this shit is a cash grab by Akai. Personally, I liken all of these newer joints to having FL in a box, and if I wanted that, I'd just stick to using FL on a PC. -
is this a common issue? (mixing complaint)
Those Radio Shack speakers sounded surprisingly good. They have a 1" soft dome tweeter, the enclosure is solid metal so there's very little, if any flex from low notes and it's ported. I've wanted a pair since I first saw them in the 80's but never got around to buying 'em (they were sold... -
is this a common issue? (mixing complaint)
Yes and no. The mixing standard back in the day was the Yamaha NS10. Every single studio you went into had a pair as the primary monitors even if they had high dollar mega monitors in there as well. The rationale was that the NS10's sounded so bad that if you could gt a mix to sound good on... -
Sticky Show Your Setup!
So we moved across country last month. My recording space has been in disarray most of the time but I finally decided to start putting it together. The one thing I added was a Numark TT1610 turntable because I ended up leaving my Pyle deck in our old apartment (along with a lot of other shit... -

Multi-Platinum Producers Play Their WORST Beats!!!
I uploaded these to Soundclick when I first made 'em (remember that???), but now when I listen to them they're pretty bad compared to the stuff that came later. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=5434922 https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=4824401... -

Re how much your beats should cost
Yup, same for making beats: You had to have a sampler of some sort. Ideally an MPC 60/mkII/3000, SP12/1200, or s950, but if you had SOMETHING and could freak it, then it would work out as well. You had to invest in your craft and take is seriously. Dudes used to get a hold of a piece of...- konceptG

Re how much your beats should cost
@Iron Keys @Fade @Memento Beats All of y'all are on point. And as someone that shut down a small graphic design studio for that EXACT reason, I really feel what you said @Iron Keys. Back around 96-97, I had a cat that was trying to manage me as a producer but I didn't have my own equipment at...- konceptG

HEY COME AND BE PHILOSOPHICAL N STUFF
Hell, I remember Talib Kweli getting absolutely eviscerated online because his wedding was sponsored by Hennessy and he gave a shout to them in the middle of the reception.- konceptG

HEY COME AND BE PHILOSOPHICAL N STUFF
At the end of one of Lil Jon's songs he actually says "Shout out to Seagram's Gin, 'cause I drink it and they payin' me for it" The 2000's was a boon time for product placement in hip hop. Lotta cats were cashing checks for mentioning stuff in their songs so it's definitely been a thing. Maybe...- konceptG

What gear is everybody rocking?
lol, that's a wheelchair, it's pointed slightly away from where I was sitting when I took that pic. The cats are Maneki Neko aka the "Fortune Cat". Got 'em over in Chinatown not too far from here. -

Got a couch potato setup with the QY100 and my OG Axiom 25 :LOL: :ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO: -
What gear is everybody rocking?
My first keyboard controller was a Novation MM10x, copped back in '94 or '95. The unique thing about them for that era was that it had a slot on it so you can sit a QY10 in it. Needed an adapter plate for the QY20 or my MU5 I had back then but those worked as well. I guess you could call it a... -
What gear is everybody rocking?
This thing is just over half the size of my MPC500. I really don't remember it like this, but then too I could be thinking of the QY70, which is definitely smaller.
