    Production What about beatmakers that dont know basic music theory

    This is the thing though... How many of you(or people in general) have been in studios with top engineers? I mean, people who have worked with really well known and successful commercial artists/labels/tracks. With the amount of people who can just 'make music from their bedroom', there's...

    Production What about beatmakers that dont know basic music theory

    The funny thing is... the amount of 'guitarists' and such who have no idea about music theory. This is the problem, people just download sheet music, learn to copy, and think that makes them a musician. Some people are just posers.

    Production What about beatmakers that dont know basic music theory

    This is also why I tend to avoid saying 'I make beats', or 'listen to my beats', it sounds like every other wannabe with a crack version of FruityLoops. Take yourself more seriously, if you want to be taken more seriously.

    Production What about beatmakers that dont know basic music theory

    No disrespect to anyone, but it is kinda parallel to this... It's like when someone buys a half-decent camera and calls themselves a photographer. Owning a good camera doesn't make you a photographer. The image quality may be good, and you may get lucky and take a few good shots 'cause you...

    Production What about beatmakers that dont know basic music theory

    Thing is... with samples... they often have several things going on in them at once... so harmonics from several instruments, they may be playing a certain chord, etc... if you've got chords, harmonies etc going on, it can be mad. I've tried sampling before, n found at times that 'no' bass note...

    Production What about beatmakers that dont know basic music theory

    Some things though... I've learnt, from jazz/blues influence, which hip-hop has a lot of... use chords that change keys. So sometimes things may be played in a 'chromatic' scale... which kinda involves(as far as I got told), when you land on a chord that is in a different key as well as the one...

    Singers that don't know basic music theory?!

    ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH How do you guys deal with these sort of folk? Great voice, bad at communicating what they want. My music theory is basic, but all I'm looking to hear is the track format in terms of bars. #long

    Question for those of you who have managers or who may be a manager

    If you're not smart about contracts - and even if you are - DEFO have a lawyer (is possible) look over the contracts. Contracts can fuck you RIGHT over. Be careful, very careful signing anything granting 'exclusive' rights. Be sure of what the definitions of certain words are. How long each...

    Back-up software...?!

    Got it downloaded, just plugged in my second external/backup. I've already got folders I copy pasted to those drives... I'm hopefully going to be able to point the relevant folders to eachother n watch it work its magic. Will let know how it all goes.

    Do you know which one I'm supposed to download if I'm using 32-bit system?

    Back-up software...?!

    Can you set how often it syncs? Does it require running constantly? Can you set it so that if you delete a file from your computer, it doesn't delete from the sync/backup?

    Back-up software...?!

    Oooh, you gangsta. This is looking like exactly what I was looking for! Or at least close enough. Is it an official windows/microsoft application too?

    Back-up software...?!

    Because it doesn't allow me to back up from/to specific drive locations. I want all my beat/project files stored in their relevant locations, I don't want the project file being stored along with miscelaneous crap, while the relevant audio for that project is stored along with random mp3s...
