    Houston, We have a problem...IMO

    Tempo changes in the middle of a sample

    Sampling is something I rarely do but every now and then I run into a portion of a song that I just can't let go. Sometimes I wonder how these cats pulled off live shows back in the day. I was working on the ojays song "brandy" and at the beginning I sampled what turned out to be a 10 sec sample...

    On a more serious note...

    I gotta share this with you guys and gals, recently I had a long chat with a very established producer (IMO). I'm not calling his name out of respect because I didn't clear it with him but we all know him. Anyway, we talked for hours and within that talk we got on the subject of making music...

    What kind of producer are you?

    Ive noticed that many producers have different styles of producing hiphop beats... If I had to classify them, it would go something like this... 1. "Old school style hiphop" - Producers that use the new sounds combined with old school flavor and techniques. A modern day song with an old...

    Something to ponder...1 more Kanye -vs- 50 thread

    The more I learn about this whole 50 -vs- Kanye deal, the more things appear to me as being shaky. Let's look at some facts... 1. Kayne said on 106 & Park that his album was supposed to be released first but because of the artwork on the cover, it was pushed back until 9/11. 2. Kanyes...

    Can You Feel This ?!?!?!?!

    This isn't something that I'm going through but it's been on my mind for a minute now. When any top artist releases a new CD, there will be songs that you like, songs that you don't like, songs that grow on you, and songs that just kinda hit it off because everybody else is bump'n it. My point...

    PRODUCERS...Do you exaggerate your instrumentals?

    What I mean is...when making an instrumental for a competition or for shopping on the web. where you only give a sample (per say of 1 min.), or just showcasing a beat, do you stick with the normal formats (i.e. intro, 16 bars, break, 16 bars, chorus, blah, blah, blah...) or do you jazz it up a...
