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....

another beat tape I put together

wouldnt have dropped a beat tape with a single fully on it....makes listening a little mundane if you ask m....tight concept tho and the shit rides...

Preciate that, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "beat tape w/ single fully on it" lol

Are you talkin bout having the whole beat instead of a snippet or somethin?

yea, because niggas can jack your shit still, if your intent was to keep them safe.

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

Haha yeah man I done did a lot of research since then and have a good understanding of most of these concepts now. Still need to see a lawyer of course though to make sure everything is solid.

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.

word man, yea thats "Untitled (How Does It Feel)", I been wantin to mess with that for a while so I just did it. the joint at the beginning....I'll give the name of the song: "Heaven Is"...dont wanna give the artist, unless somebody knows it....

although I would like to hear how you'd flip it...if you want I can up it and you flip it to see what you mean

Yeah man I'd def like to check that sample out.

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.

aah shit

 

[omikron]

I produce and have some beats on my page at omikronbeats.com

I'm influenced by Timbo, Dre, and believe it or not, Trent Reznor. Trent did a remix of "Victory" back when the single dropped and it was siiiick. Always thought that he could be a dope hip-hop producer if he wanted to be.

Really wish Premo was still elite and HITBoy kinda slid a lil bit IMO. He could prove me wrong real soon tho lol

Yeah but the thing about thrift shops and used record stores is that they'll have an entire album for $2. You can flip through the album and it'll be an artist that you would have never thought to look for. The only reason you copped it in the first place is because the cover looks cool and its from 1975. In other words, a used record store has stuff that you wouldn't even know to search for on google or you tube.
