    working in 2 different keys at the same exact time

    i've recently realized that almost everything i've been creating lately has been in two different keys at the same time this hasn't been intentional...i've been creating guitar parts in the piano roll in FL and never noticed that it tells you what key you are working in when you hold the...

    i learned to chop something up other than music

    check out my interview with george w. bush...this was meant to be funny but i kind of rushed it (i chopped up a rush limbaugh interview...his responses to the real questions are scary because it was done before he was president...he did a complete 360 as soon as he was elected) this was...

    the most interesting recording process i've heard of

    omar rodriguez is the guitarist and producer for the mars volta. he conjures everything up in his head and teaches the other members of the band their parts only minutes before recording them. none of the parts of each song are recorded in linear order(sort of like films today are done) so he...

    the most underrated producer

    gotta be El-P for sure has produced for all of the big names in underground hip hop such as Cage, Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, Murs, etc he pretty much has a patent on the sci-fi/apocalyptic sound as a rapper he doesn't have the best flow in the world but his lyrics are pretty damn...

    drum free music

    i hope i didn't confuse anyone by the title of this thread. what i am looking for are genres of music that don't always have a lot of drums behind them. i don't like sampling stuff that has drums in it because i don't like layering drums over drums. that is probably something i should experiment...

    bass and kick don’t need to hit together in terms of key and timing according to RZA

    check out this video of some production tips from the almighty http://remixmag.com/video/artists/wu_tang_clan/ "i realized that music wasn't just a note and a melody or a harmony. it is also a pulse"

    so i found out i used the same sample as...

    a producer i can't stand. i listened to the song on youtube and i realize the sound quality isn't great there but i could tell the beat isn't nearly as creative or energetic as mine. i didn't just put a beat on a sample. i layered mine and chopped it up and rearranged it. i made it into...

    providing a Hook along with a beat for an artist

    what producers out there are doing this and are they in higher demand? is it safe to say that you should be able to sell a beat for more if you provide a hook. of course it would be a bit harder to find a buyer since particular subject matter could weed out certain artists. it probably is a lot...

    justin roelofs is the only one pushing the envelope at the moment

    "To manipulate sound vibrations in specific ways, especially with the voice, can cause a torrent of positive energy to be released to the world. It brings peace and harmony, and a connection to now and everything. The inherent obligation of the artist, I believe, is the transmission of pure...

    making beats to score a film

    i know that rza has talked about spending more time doing this because his beats are so cinematic. has anyone ever tried this? i believe that this would allow me more freedom when creating music. normally we always are constricted because we are trying to write a Song and that keeps us in a...

    songs with harmonica loops?

    i just bought a harmonica today. i figured i'd leave it on record and try to jam around over the beats i've been working on. i'll probably loop any worthwhile melodies that arise out of that. if this has successfully been done i'd like to know of some songs to listen to so i have some sort...
