Jay Dee, what a guy. Unfortunately it took his absence to get people on his jock like they are now... I only have one disagreement: "A lot of the time during the 70s they really didn't care about their levels" I actually think the 70s are the best decade for recording quality: Analog stud...

yea, but i think his studio in LA really brought a stronger producer out of him, because he had so many constraints that his beats just became more well thought out rather than a simple boom bap. did you know that he wrote 30 out of 31 tracks in donuts with a turntable and an sp303? yes, he pulled t...

when in doubt listen to some tunes and go for a jog...things will clear up after that.

u really can't say the man had a routine because his music was very different at different times. early off when he was by himself/slum and doing work for tribe he was almost exclusivly samples. When he did the royce the 5'9 track and some later slum he was all synth/ drum machine. When he was prod...

layer the sounds..........one bass sample on the other. keep close monitoring of the bass with your monitors so it doesn't distrort.

basslines come from quite few things....one is the microkorg.....minimoog voyager.......and of course records..........if you want the dilla sound............sample records and mess with your chops. and when you sample....sample the records that mean something to you. all those drums and sounds that...

try doing the break/drum pattern without quantise...........and try following a drum and bass song like photek or dilinja and seehow close you can replicate the timing.....not having quantise will make you a tighter prograsmmer plus it will help you understand how much swing you want in it.

johnisfaster lord toranaga I use it alot. I have buit hundreds of custom kits. real simple, D&D, great interface Totally, and you've hit on my second question: When making your custom kits, do you find/create the samples yourself? I've been looking for a decent drum sample library to build some...

yea, i rock the impulse. i just chop p my samples in audition and drop them in imuplse and voila........my mpc 1000 replacement.......now all i really need is some nice pads like the mpd24. but if you like impulse the sd2100 also has 8 sample slots and some nice parameters to tweak. irs' not sp1200 ...
