ReplyDeleteFRANKIE THAT'S A LOT FOR BREAKING DOWN THE SAMPLE CLEARANCE ISSUE DEALING WITH AFRICAN SAMPLES AS WELL THE CHOPPING OF ANY TYPE OF SAMPLE IN GENERAL.
ReplyDeleteI'M A BEAT DIGGER, AND I LIKE TO DIG IN THE CREATES ALTHOUGH I DO MOST OF IT ON LINE, BUT I'VE STUDIED CLIPS OF UNDERATED PRODUCERS WHO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND DIG IN RECORD STORES
COMING UP WITH HIP HOP AND LOOKING UP TO CATS LIKE DJ PREMIER, PETE ROCK, LARGE PROFFESSOR, LORD FINESS, SHOWBIZ, BUCKWILD, BEATMINERZ MADLIB, JAY DILLA, 9TH WONDER, AND KEV BROWN, INSPRIRED ME TO DO WHAT I DO.
OUT OF ALL THE PRODUCER'S I'VE MENTION, I'D SAY PETE ROCK, AND PREMIER MADE WANT TO ASK THE KINDS OF QUESTIONS I ASK ON YOUR SITE.
THESE CATS HAVE CAME IN TO THE GAME SAMPLING AND THE FLIP IT UP SO WELL IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE NOTHING HEARD OF.
BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU EVER MET THESE PEOPLE IN YOUR YEARS OF BEING IN THE INDUSTRY!!
ALTHOUGH YOU PLAY LIVE INSTRUMENTS, ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH ANY OF THE SAMPLE MACHINES SUCH AS THE AKA MPC 2000XL AND THE OTHERS, THE MOTIF, AND THE SP1200, WHICH IS OLD SCHOOL EQUIPMENT??
ReplyDeleteALSO,DO YOU GET IDEAS FROM VINYL RECORDS WHEN YOUR PLAYING NOTES!!!
