    Just can't give up MPC because of Maschine

    When you live on a peace of gear hours a day, for years and create a bunch of stuff on it. You become a bit attached. Its kinda cool. Maschine is faster and easier to use, but there totally is something special about those old mpc's!

    Reason Default Sounds

    Yes, I stand by that. Dont get me wrong I am not saying you need to create ever snare from scratch or anything. But the overall end goal should be to create your unique sonic signature as a producer. Sorry, I thought this discussion was all in good fun, truly not trying to agitate. Its all good man!

    I am simply saying a producer should try and create a new sound. Always strive for originality. If you are using stock sounds that is harder to do. Create your own libraries, build your own tools. And yes, every legendary producer from Kanye, to Dre does this. This doesnt seem all that crazy of...

    No, I disagree. What is the point of a producer that produces nothing new? That is not art it is factory work.

    Dude, Pete rock ABSOLUTELY created his own sound and was outspoken against stock libraries. He sampled vinyl like crazy to find the right kick, then layered that with another kick sound to create just what is in his head. I am not saying reinvented the wheel per se. Also an ENGINEER is a...

    Reason Default Sounds

    A beat doesn't sound near as good with weak drum sounds for example. Beethoven playing a good piano will sound better than on a crappy piano. But sampling/producing cant be compared to a composing anyway. Your analogy is a false one. A PRODUCERS job is to create new sounds, a COMPOSERS job is to...

    A producer is only as good as the new sounds they create. Sorry it takes only a few minutes to create everything new. If you are slow at it, practice.

    Kanye West's 10 best lines from his new album

    One of my friend thinks he is just trolling with this album. I have literally liked everything he has ever done in fact "My dark twisted fantasy" is proof that hip-hop can be art. But this thing is.....ugh

    Fl can't open reason libraries. So this is not possible. On top of that why would anyone use stock sounds?
  17. thedreampolice

    ?

    #1 YES, an producer is only as good as the sounds they CREATE or Sample. I try and NEVER use stock stuff EVER. Thats one of the reasons, Reason is such an good environment for me personally. #2 No, no one can. Its been proven over and over and over. Even the "golden ears" cant tell. Its all...
