God Needs More Help - Cubase and Komplete Don't Work Together
This is why I'm looking at Ableton. Anyone had this problem before? Cubase is the shit, but Komplete seems to hate it. WTF should I do. Fuck, you know times are changing when I go from giving out the advice to asking for it. FUUUUUCK. -
God Needs Help - I Just Got Ableton and I Don't Know How To Use It
I'm fucking around with Ableton Live 8 (or should I get 9?). Basically, I have a shitty Dell PC that I want to turn into a hip hop and EDM production machine. I'm used to using ProTools and Cubase like a champ for 20 years. But Ableton fucks with me. FIRST QUESTION: Why don't any of the... -

Death of the industry. Big money days are gone.
I remember when I started in music it was conceivable you could have one hit album and have a huge financial windfall from that, provided you had the right representation and such. It was completely reasonable that you could be in the gutter in January and driving a Ferrari by December. If you... -
Calling Macklemore out on his "indie" rise bullshit.
When I heard of Macklemore, I was wondering -- how the fuck did this guy get to the top of the charts with "Thrift Shop" and sell so many album downloads "independently." For y'all who don't know me on this forum, I've been calling shit out for a long time. THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY YOU GET... -
What happens when you release an "artistic" album from a great rapper?
You sell 40,000 units. That's it. Sucks because I love it. Great creativity and artistic expression. I guess the kids like the EDM beat instead of real hip-hop. -
Crushed Hopes And Dreams: Why Am I Still Pursuing Fame, Money and Glory?
We get old. We lose our edge. We think like our parents instead of erasing all that old shit and thinking of the new hot music we can capitalize on. We lose our looks. We get fatter. We have kids. We have a wife. We have child support. We have bills. We have car payments. We have...- God

Real Talk From Former Guns N' Roses Manager On The Music Biz
Alan Niven managed Guns N' Roses from their start to their superstardom. He also managed a couple other successful bands. But don't think this thread is just for rock fans. This is the realest talk I've heard on the internet about the BS that goes on behind the scenes that no one really talks... -

Are We Too Old For This Game?
I feel like an old dude trying to anticipate youth culture. Constantly battling myself to push out stuff I used to think was hot for what could be hot in the future. It's kind of tough for an older guy to continually go against his own generation in order to stay relevant. How do you guys...- God

What do you think about this dubstep remix of Drake, Kanye, Eminem, Wayne by Nero?
I see stuff moving this way. They didn't quite hit the nail on the head, but I really feel in 5 years the game is going to sound like this in the US.- God

Marketing 101: How to get publicity for your music
There are different "vanilla" ways of gaining marketing for your music, such as unremarkable Google Ads or the commonplace guerilla marketing tactics of yesteryear, where you and your friends act as a street team and push your music wherever more than three people gather. The key to getting... -
Dubstep production in hip-hop music?
Are any of you familiar with hip-hop acts that effectively combine dubstep with hip-hop -- similar to how Nero "Promises" successfully combined trance/dance music with dubstep to create a new sound. I heard remixes of hip-hop songs in dubstep, but has anyone really latched on to dubstep to... -
Do you "songwrite" when you create a beat, or do you just make the beat?
I want to get the real deal here from you cats on a question I have: How many of you guys do actual "songwriting" rather than just beat production? By songwriting, I mean, you structure the beat, like (verse/pre-chorus/chorus/verse/pre-chorus/chorus/bridge/chorus) and you also write the... -
