    Nevermind going evil, save that ish for halloween. Just something to get your kill on to. Something that give you the energy to chop a head or Steph Curry a bullet from long range. Doesn't necessarily have to be even hype or evil. Actually gave myself a killer(get it?) idea. Maybe would have...

    Who/How/What To Study Regarding Music Production

    Groove makes you move; melody gets stuck in your head. You need that combo.

    Who/How/What To Study Regarding Music Production

    DRUMS vs MELODY on this topic, i alwaaays used to start with drums first. I used to see it as building a foundation. Building a groove for the rest to sit on. I've now tried changing that and starting with melody first. Both ways are workable. Timbaland... probably best known for his drums...

    Who/How/What To Study Regarding Music Production

    None of the people succeeding I'vehad advice from including artists, songwriters, A&Rs etc have ever really mentioned about "quality" of tracks, it's always the quality of the song they've emphasised. That's why I now try focus on that, and why any of you with the same agenda should too. If...

    Who/How/What To Study Regarding Music Production

    Music theory will help you greatly. Initially it will also hinder you. I can't remember/not sure if i ever really understood what your goals are. But the important part of making music is making something people "feel". Your main focus as a creator-producer should be making something people...

    Who do YOU think are the best Hip Hop producers of all-time?

    Dr Dre Scott Storch Timbaland RZA Pharrell Premier Kanye Just Blaze Kool Herc Grandmaster Flash I put the ones that inspired my style most at the top. But I've also only selected and included names who I believe had the biggest impact in pioneering and advancing the genre. There are tonnes...

    Ah shit, I feel bad, I actually meant @Focuskind 's beat was the one that stuck in my head. :blackeye: :oops: But, don't sweat it @SwayeeBoogie my bad, your track is actually hot - I actually played it a few times for non-voting purposes, just to let it bump through :facts::bomb: (only track i...

    Good source for percussion samples???

    Yeah good free stuff. Even paid stuff... I haven't paid for a sample pack yet, but that's because hardly any company's free packs have given me confidence in their main products. Cymatics have impressed me a little. And back in the day Sounds in HD did too.

    yo... what kinda music are we making here?

    @2GooD Productions yeah i don't think i was clear enough, part that reasoning for Producer over "i make beats" was because i saw myself more as someone with a vision, direction. With an idea. Not just someone programming beats. I wanted to make records. But as for the rest yeah.

    Good source for percussion samples???

    Anyone know a really good source, or brand whatever for percussion samples??? Single shots. Like all the weird interesting sounds that aren't kicks/snares. Things like claves, sticks, metal things, wooden things whatever. definitely stuff that would sit well in "modern" sounding records...

    yo... what kinda music are we making here?

    For me I had a weird one ages back, I stopped liking the word "beats" it felt a bit cheap. I started preferring to refer to myself as a Producer as opposed to someone who "makes beats". For me the words beat/instrumental/backing track are pretty synonymous; I feel they're just different...

    Quite probably bro - I notice your stuff is quite different in style pretty much everyone here. That can be good tho, you've got your own thing going on. It's more a question of yourself, if you feel ILL is the place for you, then stay and keep bringing your unique flavour. I thought your beat...

    You know what's strange, I've been keen on @YannFer beats before, and we both had similar principles we mentioned in tracks this thread... but what's interesting, we both opted to have social commentary in our tracks. Current climate references. wild.
