Re: advantages of the 808

I want to upgrade from my 303. Really debating getting one of these or not. Too bad you can only record up to three or so tracks.

Re: Working with samples is a pain in the fucking ass on this!!!

Here's a q.

When sampling into this thing, do you guys sample at the tempo of the song you are working in?

I'll have to say playing seriously with the 303 is humbling. Really have to unlearn what I know about making beats on the PC and really go back and relearn all over again.

Frustrating and ...

Working with samples is a pain in the fucking ass on this!!!

Yeah I'll admit it. I've been sleeping on the 303 ever since I got it. Well decided to get back into it, and one thing that I'm remembering that put me off of it in the first place, is working with chops. Not drum breaks, but say, take a smooth jazz lick, you chop it up and getting the samples to ...

Re: sampling to tape ?

what up from the stix of weston, ct--
i would bounce your finished song to cassette, pushed slightly to the red, so you get that nice subtle distortion. also it will make the tape hiss consistent throughout the mix instead of cutting in and out


Instead of bouncing the whole song, bounce your ...

Re: Working on an SP beat (Video)

Probably wasn't your intention, but cheers for the inspiration bro.

I've been struggling with the 303 but I see I just haven't been "putting in the time" with it, like I did on the digital side.

Groove you got sound good, and it's about time I locked myself away for a bit to just really get into ...

Re: onra sound

as the others said that sound is all about compression..sidechaining ducking blah blah blah

the really crisp banging sound def comes from the mastering. people underestimate the power of real actual mastering - and NO cranking up a limiter in your DAW or on your mixer is not professional ...

Re: do you always stay in the classic beatmaking genre?

With respect to everyones comments-asking why hip hop producers should still stick to boom bap is like asking rock musicians why they still make songs with just acoustic guitar. It's just tradition,and the sound of a culture. I'm all for expanding the boundries in any genre of music or art- I wanna ...

Re: do you always stay in the classic beatmaking genre?

Make music man. You are only doing yourself a disservice by just making 90 bpm music. These days, an artists can't be pigeonholed into just one thing.
