Haven't posted here in a minute but shout out to T/S for this thread. I've used Cakewalk, Logic and Audacity in the past, but I've been fuckin with plain ol' Garageband a lot lately...


I chopped up this video for this track I produced for my mixtape I'm trying to finish by the end of the year... Holla at me if you need some video editing done... The audio is only coming out of one channel, but that was because of a glitch the video software and not the track... also....

@therecanonlybeone

@Batman.

mr metoo ... thats all im using garage band and i got a usb maudio keyboard that i rarely use due to space lol ... but i got mad people trying to convince me to move over to logic ... which imo looks almost identical to garage band ... and i might make that move cause i can load all my garage band shit into logic but i cant move all my logic shit into garageband .......................... but havent done it just yet ...... not really too pressed until i get a bigger space to work in lol ....

oh and dope beat .....

Good lookin out and thanks for checking it out. I hook my Yamaha djx to my Mac, but I've been doing Madd sampling lately..

also whoever mentioned Trent reznor is rite... he'd be a dope hip hop producer....

Here's the secret to producing Hip Hop;

Go to thrift shops and used record stores and cop record albums from the 70s for $2-$3. Spend about $100 a month for a year. You'll have crates of records to choose from from groups you've never heard of and groups you would have otherwise never known about.

or just search the net lol

Diggin is a lifestyle. lol

Aint nothing like hittin a record store, throwing the ipod on shuffle and just dig dig dig for records. I can spend hours in a record stores basement.

Are MPCs worth it in 2013 over Maschine, DAWs and MPDs?

Depends on how you work.

An MPC isn't tied to a computer. Sometimes you just might not feel like fucking around with a computer at all when you're making music. I know I sometime wish I had an ASR-X strictly for making hip hop joints and honestly, I just might buy one in a few months if I can find the right one.

but with a computer you can get the usb compatible hardware if you dont like using a pc ... just use my pc to edit i have an m-audio usb keyboard to do my notes ... they even have one that looks just like an mpc .... and shit if you savy enuff you can connect you mpc to the computer software as well ........

That's the problem for some people: That the controller is tied to a PC/Mac at all is something some cats don't always want.

Give you an example: There have been times when I was riding the bus where I just wanted to pull out the Axiom Air 32 and fuck with some beats, but because the controller does nothing without the software, this is not possible. Right now, if you want to make beats on the go without a PC/Mac, your only real option is the MPC500, which is battery powered. The limitation, though, is that it's still a drum/sample/sequencing machine. If you're the type of producer that uses more instrumentation, you're pretty much fucked. You have no choice but to lug around a laptop and controller for on-the-go creation.

lol lugging around a laptop > mpc .... come on son you making it sound like an mpc is the size of an nintendo ds ... there is no comparison when your talking mobile production ... PC is the best route ... lighter and more robust as far as being able to do the complete production from beginning to end ......

I'm guessing you've never seen an MPC500.

The MPC500 next to a Nano Kontrol. The MPC500 is far smaller than a laptop and it's battery powered.

Anyone know where I can get Cool Edit for free?

Better yet, is there a program where you can make beats and use the same program to sample?

 

[nyst8ofmin]

fruity loops? reason? maschine? logic? ableton? pro tools?

Lol, more specifically, I was using Cool Edit to chop up samples but I wanted to know if FL in particular has an upgrade that will allow me to chop samples, import them, and then create the beat.
