OFFICIAL BEATMAKING / PRODUCTION THREAD Vol. New NT

[CUNNiNGH4M]

Not really I've been trying to though people just haven't discovered none of my work yet so I thought I might give niketalk a try a friend who use niketalk on a daily basis told me about coming onto niketalk and network so this is my attempt to do so.

i think we could do some damage together...

check out some of my work and let me know if you feel the same way...

Someone posted this up and I thought I'd share

It's a free PDF on helping you finish a track and get that creativity moving. Good for writer's block or just when your in a slump!

I posted this is another thread, but I figured it was also relevant to show to my producers here as well. I just released my first self-produced EP via www.djbooth.net this past Wednesday, and I'd love to have you guys check it out, perhaps to give me your feedback from a production standpoint.

It's available for stream/download here:

I don't think you can, yet - I read somewhere in the help section of NT that SoundCloud embeds aren't a feature this version of the board currently allows.

damn it doesn't sound like your new to producing. you got some bangers on there man. very high quality. your beats sounds way better than mine and I only been doing it for about 8 months now.

From what I understand (and having tried a demo of it), Ableton Live is a loop-based production tool, similar to Acid Pro, and has a lot of features that make beat-matching and sampling simple.
Everyone who talks to me about Logic always says that it has a very steep learning curve, but is ridiculously-full featured. I'd say in terms of simplicity, Ableton is moreso, but Logic will allow you room for growth as you develop your skills and knowledge of production. Plus, Logic Pro is a good second step after GarageBand, given that they're both compatible as Apple-developed programs.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of the above, since I don't use either - this is just what I've heard from people who actually use these programs.
Edit: As a new producer, since we're talking software, I say start with something free, i.e. Garageband if you're already using a Mac, or Reaper if you're on Windows. Save your money until you know what it is that you're looking for and what you want it to do - a lot of us started out on demo versions and things like that before we built out our setups.

Just hopped in this thread for the first time as an aspiring producer/DJ. I appreciate this advice.

Had a chance to finally listen to this. And man, your beats were ill.

 I wanna say 90's influenced with some east coast flavor. Overall great EP

Haven't had the chance to play this on some real speakers yet, just on the laptop, but I don't hear anything too different on the beat that would throw it off. Keep it up fam. 

edit: Did you sample the same beat for "The old you" and "entroduction"

I would say check your local music stores and ask them, that'd be your best bet, I'm not sure what major stores have those for sale.

 

[ilikeshoes210]

[ilikeshoes210]

Frank, thanks so much for the spin, I really appreciate it....

And yes, it's the same Black Eyed Peas sample for both songs, just pitched different...you're the ONLY person that has caught that so far.
