For better or worse: I have 5 drum racks in my current production template. Each drum rack has 10+ samples for each type of drum (kick, snares, claps, hats OP, hats CL, rides, crash) I usually just write out my midi drum patterns using single hits, then start layering up drums by copying the midi hi...

Make sure to match "gain" when you do mix your tracks in, id bet youll need to boost the signals atleast a bit to get the mix leveled out. Don't be discouraged if your tunes fall apart the first few times you play on them out. My first few tracks where disgusting on a real PA, now they are...

If your looking for depth lay off the compression, lean into dynamics and soak shit in reverbs. That's what I would do if I was aiming for "depth".

I totally forgot about Gtune lol duh!!!

Hes sick of spending millions to clear other ppls samples lol decides to just make source materials so he can get that royalties on sampling instead.

Give a man a Middle C, he will make a bass for a day. Teach a man to find Middle C , he will make bass everyday. Not sure what sampler/daw you are using currently, but you just need to play a clean sine wavs on any other synth while this sample loops, until you find what note this sample is actually...

+1 to this statement.

I second always check mixs on a second and third system (even if its car/boombox). I also have that same set of headphones and have been using them exclusively for the last six months to do production on, mix and master on. The only feedback i got from another producer while doing a remix, was to ad...

I have started to use these exclusively for my mixing, had to sell the big monitors i had when i moved. I dont boost/cut anything directly on my master (didnt before i switched to the cans either). Before i start mixing down on them, i spent a long time listening to music on them getting my ears use...

My first set at on a real PA was similar, i had not mointors and teh headphones were not cancelling any noise on stage... so i kind of just sucked it up and learned my lesson, thankfully a few decent song selections can make up for the train wreck of a set it was :). Now when i go perform i use head...

A mic and a looper pedal/sampler.

Thats all Heatbox needs oh and some rythym helps along with beatbox skills.

+1 on taking a break. I didnt produce for a good 6 months, did some Djing but i just lived life and spent time with my wifey. Then a month ago, got inspired to work on a remix for another local artist. It reignited my flame and i have started 5 new song/bootleg/remix ideas that sound better then any...

Yes, go write music.... stop thinking about it. Just do it!

SupaTrigga is the one i hear being abused left/right lolz.
