All Producers Enter
 

yeah, so what kind of equipment do all you producers use? can you really survive with just Frooty Loops? I know 9th Wonder still uses it, ive seen him use it, but can you really make quality beats and do everything you need to do as a producer using Frooty Loops? and, how do you get the voice-only tracks to make ur own mixes n shit? i think i wanna get into producing....

Thanks

this should be in a different section, but I'll throw some answers out. Voice only mixes come from combining a 'accapella' form one song with a beat from another. I just hit limwire and download 'accapella's'. I've said it a million times- it don't matter what equipment you have/use, its how you use it. 9th wonder is my fav example. My newest beat is made 100% on Fruity Loops, and it came out ok. (peep sig) But in the studio I use a Triton LE, a Roland Fantom Synth (my fav of a few of them), Cubase to make the beats in, Acid Pro to change tempo, & Soundforge to cut up samples. word.

i only use frutty loops

^^ Pretty much what he said. Its not the equipment, it's how you use it. Fruity Loops works perfectly fine for me.

worrd, i mean i'd love to produce in the studio, but right now i dont have the funds or access to that kind of equipment, so i was just making sure it was possible and i wouldnt be wasting my time with Frooty Loops trying to be a serious producer...

and yeah, 9th Wonder is awesome... Little Brother (his group for you non-knowers of the TRUTH) is from Durham, NC right around the corner from me :) like seriously, 5 minutes down the road from me... and 9th will be at random shows around dj'ing and shit... its dope

yeah its not only how u use it..its what kinda sounds ur using....but i wanna get this drum machine i saw at guitar center..i was makin some hot drum patterns..i coulda burned it but i didnt bring a blank cd soo that sucked balls

Little Brother is possibly one of my favourite groups. word.

worrd. :)

^Yeah Little Brother Is Dope as Hell.....But yeah when i produce n shit...i just use Fruity Loops n all this other shit..

all this time i thought little brother was a person

go figure

lol..

cuz i dont listen to garbage

9th wonder = poo poo

^^^ The #1 reason why its publically known that you're a flaming homosexual. You LOOK like poo poo, and ain't know SHIT about music. Go suck Kanyes dick, ya porkchop.

yea fruity loops is aight......... hey, but how do u get more drums to put in there????? anyone know how to dl some free ones or anythin like that?

Just thought i'd edit this with this:

<< wishes he had dizzle's gear

whoa @ keeping my picture on your hard drive for OVER a year

everyone does

:)

i may look like i have down syndrome, but the money and clothes keep the bitches close

*doubts it*

hahahaha.... owned..... AGAIN.

I"m getting a MPC 9000 drum machine it gotta burner on it so i can make a beat and burn it its dope as hell i make some sick drums on it i tried it out at the store

so can u add synth and other shit to it on the comp after u make it?

not sure..but i tested it out at the store and u can make some dope patterns on it and what not......i made a hot beat there...but i didn't have a blank cd or i would have burned it :(

there is no MPC 9000. They got a 60, a 1000, a 2000, , a 2000XL, a new 2500, a 3000, and a 4000. word.

Then I think its gotta be 4000....or which ever one comes with a burner all i rmemeber is 3 zeros after it

there is a Yamaha something 8000 (motif?) i think, that is LIKE a mpc, and has a burner....

it looks like that tho..i know that much....it has some really nice ass sounds and its easy too operate

thats the MPC 4000....

1000


2000XL (2000 looks the same)


new 2500


4000


MD16 (not 60 as i previously said - they dis-continued the 60) this is basically a contoller for midi sounds...


word.... the new 2500 is sexy as hell tho.

yeah i'd have too agree with you and the 4000 is runnin on 2500 alone....what should i do get the Nueaman Mic or that??? what would u do

buy a used 2000XL on ebay with some zip discs of drum samples... you can get lil jon drums (808's) Scott Storch, Kanye, Premier, whatever drums you feelin..

Are you considered a producer if you work in the produce department at a grocery store?

...which I dont, just wondering.

^ You can also produce beats if you work in the produce depatment at a grocery store.
