Hip Hop shit.
Fam, you gotta chop that up. You're about to expose the gold mine cuzzo. Chill out. I know exactly where it came from, and you didn't do anything to it but play the loop over. Make that shit yours. Utilize the melody, add your own piano run to it, add your own baseline, play it over, etc. I'm not knockin the hustle fam trust me, just make that shit yours.
yea, i mess samples up (in a good way) so much I ain't even worried...u will NEVER be able to figure out which sample i use

That sample in the beginning is dope and that's D'Angelo when the beat drops right? I know some of yall top secret with the samples tho lol. Also only thing I'd say that was awkward to me was how the vocal chops were used.

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.
kill 2 birds with 1 stone and hook the mpc up to the pc thru midi ... so you wont have to depend on saving your tracks to the mpc ... makes beats using the mpc while using your computer for hardrive space for saving and loading sounds .....

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 ......

bdbdbd;5972627 said:Kellmill;5972385 said:Always wanted to dip into producing but don't really know how to get started. How did yall start?
moms bought me a cheap casio keyboard for my birthday for some reason (never once said i wanted that shit), it had 5 recordable tracks on it. No loop function, no quantize, nothing....if i wanted to record a 64 bar drum pattern, i had to literally play the whole 64 bars....and cus there was only 5 tracks, i couldnt track out a snare on one track a kick on another and a hihat on the third, cus id only have two tracks left to record on for that song .....
i had to learn how to play that shit all at once on one track.
thats why i think i have a good understanding of rhythm, cus i not to sound cliche but i learned how to do that shit from the basics...or atleast the basics of my generation.
anyone looking to get into production now has it easy cus you dont need to learn about rhythm, on the spot arrangement, live effects and and shit, you can just use your mouse to plot in drum patterns, melody lines, bass lines, etc, you got that automation to do everything..... and i say that but even I after all my learning have become lazy cus ableton allows me to do all that shit without actually doing it.
and im also not knocking producers of this generation (up and coming or certified) cus there is some banging production happening right now.
my main advice is to learn the core basics of the genre you want to be a part of and then work from there...wether that means getting a casio keyboard with only 5 tracks, or using a maschine but learning that shit inside out....step by step, lil by lil.
also there is nothing wrong with recreating your favourite tracks...cus thats how you get an understanding for how the greats do it and then incorporating that method into your own workflow.
just my opinion
imo with out those basics you couldnt even work the software that does most of it for you ... you still have to build a level understanding before you make beats that you are comfortable enuff to let people hear or better yet sell to someone ... you just cant jump on any of these programs from day 1 and sound like dr dre by the end of the night ....
its easy but it aint that easy ........... if it is either your some kind of musical freak of nature or your coming into this with some kind of background experience ....

not too shabby mane ... beat build takes a lil too long but i think thats what you were going for ..... def like the mood of this joint i could drop a few 16s on here
G.Avant;5973827 said:Alright I done decided to try to take off with this shit and I have alot of questions about the business side of things.
If I sell a beat exclusively can I still collect royalties and if so how do you even begin to go about it? You know like if I sale a beat exclusively and they blow up with it.
You're definitely due royalties on a lease right?
I know on an exclusive the responsibility to clear samples is on the purchaser, but on a lease it's on me right?
Do I need to copyright all my music through the gov to make sure it's legit or just save the original file to the music?
consult a lawyer lol your gonna need contracts
