I did a track for this up and coming artist from brooklyn ny (Dirty DaMa) entirely on the sp-555 through the included sonar le. From beat creation (sounds came from an very old psr keyboard i had since a teenager) effects and of course vocals. The artist was shocked to see such a minimal setup.He thought I was using an mpc and protools!!?? After the session the data was tracked out to individual stems and sent to get mixed by Cooper Anderson (Kanye West, John Legend ) and mastered by Jim Cheadle (Dj Jazzy Jeff, Don Cornel). You can hear the track here:

do u use sonar just to track through or do u also use it to make beats from time to time?

honestly!
the rapping and the hook are very good BUT i felt you needed a break. i.e. it was a little monotonous for me. maybe a little a buildup and then some close of sorts.

check this at about 2 mins theres a break that keeps it a little interesting

don't get wrong the beat is raw, i like it a lot. just felt i was waitin! maybe to much influence on my mind. keep it money.

you don't get a lot of comments cause' that site you used doesn't work on a lot of operating systems, for example mac.

Just use zshare to upload stuff.

I have yet to make a complete beat using Sonar, but my goal is to fully understand this program ( once i get it to run properly on my computer... i'm having some stutter in my audio playback since upgrading).

inhouseprducer,
after you record from the sp onto sonar, how do you convert to format. when I go to export, my options are greyed out.

any help is appreciated.

The monotonousness sound isn't that much of a bad thing with this song. The rap was good and it did fit good all in all. Still, yeah, perhaps a break would have been nicer.

I did miss some more filler drum rolls or extra noises / effects / sounds things like that, but the main switch the song got from the refrain was good enough for me.

That track is perfect for the club!!
I actually it's ok the way it is and I'm speaking from a fan's perspective and great to hear a dope track made with the 555:)
