    rma your shit is pretty darn chilllll
    and god damn ges, that beat is absolutly nasty fuckin killer

    anyways this topic is something ive needed for a while, i had mixcraft (before the comp crashed last night) im getting a yamaha keyboard soon...right now making music is the number one thing i want to do in my life, something im very willing to contribute 10 hours a day to..the only shit i can do right now is on the video game frequency, which sucks, theres very limited instruments, and all sorts of other shit that frusterates me..i had fruity loops too , but just the demo, shit i didnt even have it long enough to make a song..

    Battle pack sucks.. seriously sucks

    u need to buy 2 real ones.. or get 2 differents and a nice mixer cuz that battle pack is just no good..

    no sense in spending money on something inferior. buy the real shit now and learn with that, [/b][/quote]
    For $200 on eBay tho can u really beat it?

    What would u suggest I got instead of the battlepack? I'd rather not blow a load of money on audio equipment right away b/c my needs will prolly end up changing when I get more into it anyways

    exactly man, you can always upgrade later. i fuckin learned on an oldschool numark belt drive and an old pioneer from the 80s. dont drop a G on shit that you might not even end up using for very long. make sure your hearts in it first then continue on from there.

    there is a inferior version with less options that is really cheap in places like ebay... with that u dont need to upgrade u can stay along time with those.

    yeah but id go for midrange gear like the new stantons
    learning on a set of belts is annoying
    i love my new decks and they were only 500 for the pair

    but now i need a new drum machine, any suggestions?
    im thinkin of saving for a MPC 1000, but i already got a good sampler (a 404)
    maybe the midrange poland, i dont remeber the name

    ahhh hell yeah i got hooked up with one for a 120 cause one of my teachers gets mad discounts on all m-audio products so he hooked it up for me. just slowly building up the arsenal lil by lil.

    and hell yeah man i gotta go dig to see if i still have that track we were workin on , my comp got fried and i lost about 75% of everything on here so hopefully i still got it. and i am downloadin the EP as we speak B) "we black actors, we gotta stick together!"

    sorry i blacked out from lack of sleep hmm ok (track 1)

    first off your levels are off drums i feel are too loud you background should be the same level as your drums in my oppinion, you drums lack headnod ablitytry adding high hats to get more a freestyle fellowship or "crunk" "durty souf" style drums to get it to fit a lil bit better

    your drums lack be cas there simple no break maybe try adding more to the drums or speeding up the drums a bit but i feel theres too much unused space specially for the back ground

    the strings an chorus are nice the keys are ok but fuck around the the generator more and youll get it maybe try adding effects like reverb on you your intro ments....

    i listened to the beat 4 time before i wrote that

    (Track 2)
    the bass is nice on it, back ground is nice and happy mellody.. your drums aree a lil bit more on point but still lack they have more of a break but still not complete with the beat homie plus your using them shitty sounding sounds... if u REALLY want ill upload a sound kit for you of more "realistic" sounding sounds but only for you... if anyone else wants them Via email ill send them but theres gonna be a price, i bought these kits from sony a while for drum machines and still rock them today but i have litterly thousands


    if anypart of that sounds insult full at least you know im being 110% honest and listenign to each beat atleast 4 times before i started typing about it then listening to while i was typing, you know i love you mse

    :wub: thanks man, i was just making shit i thought sounded good. As for the breaks, your gonna have to explain that to me. Im not reading any tutorials im learning through use
    As for the instruments im using fruity right now, i have 1/2 of acid installed but i need some updates or something which i cant download right now. But if you paid id feel guilty taking it from you ( i already took bleubird :) dope album by the way ).

    Sleep mayne, but if you wanna stay awake eat something and go ride your bike around a bit. I havent slept since sunday, and i just went riding im wide awake now :)

    But you could upload the instruments for me when i get better :)

    thanks again homie :wub:

    MSE HERES A EXAMPLE OF BREAKS

    EDIT FOR THE MOMENT



    i made this beat FOR YOU

    so u beeter listen i think ima redue it properly thought cas it has potentional just somthing slopy i cooked up


    but list to drunms see how no space is really left and how if u sped it up it would almost be somthing to break dance too thats what i mean by a break
