I dunno about that. Years ago, yes. Go back ten years and you used to be able to walk into any newsagent and have a choice between 4-5 different music technology mags. The only one that most newsagents stock now is SOS, if you're lucky. The rest, ...

New song up - hands down - please read this
ok, so today ive had the house to myself and its finally quiet for once (a rare occurance at my household) so i took advantage of the quiet and recorded 5 songs that i had already written and produced a beat for, i decided to upload the most "mainstream" sounding one out of the lot of them to give people a bit of a taste of what i do. this track has a bit less of a story or lyrical content then most of my tracks but this is because last year when i did my first live performance i came to realise… Continue

music tech mag
to the australian music tech magazine readers, i was just wondering where exactly do you guys buy the magazine from? i heard about the magazine a while ago and searched high and low in bookstores and newsagents to find it and could never find it anywhere, i even looked in music stores and couldent find the magazine anywhere. then just recently a huge westfield shopping centre opened up at kotara and the third story at the top of the shopping centre is a library/borders book store, i only went up… Continue

- Ok man sorry! You go your way !!! It feels like I inadvertently stepped on your tail by sayin "Timbaland", LOL!
Take a chill dude, I was not asking you to copy him rather I said have a listen and get an idea (could be anything) because that shit is not easy to create. Thats why I listen and respect all kind of well produced music, whether it is classical, folk, orshestral, country, trance, pop/rnb, hiphop, experimental etc.
Cheers,

:::Free vinylizer that sounds great. Go get it!
http://www.gersic.com/plugins/
:::great source of free plugins, and esier to access than KVR, which is of course the main source of free plugs.

KVR has the advantage of having a better search engine, so you could search for vinyl simulators, tape delays, compressors or whatever you need..
Hope that helps.

Just give me some hip..hop..hip..hop.....LOL !
Dude, listened your tracks, some things lacking in all the tracks, they are not in finished form yet. Liked the second track's bollywood sample though. Hey, check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_958K3-gQP0 you would love this and will surely give you some ideas to transform it into a well produced bollywood remix. It is a fun song, well produced and puts a smile on my face every time I listen to it, LOL. Also listen to Bombay by Timbaland from his last album "Shock Value" for production reference.
Cheers,
Kashif

- For sure take the 500 on board if you can - a little beat machine and a pair of cans is all you need to get down ideas when you are inspired.
As for the chorus in "Hands Down", I'm pretty old-school (my hip hop era was Eazy E, Run DMC, Tone Loc, LL Cool J etc. LOL), so I can hear the old-school 'loop' running in my head during the chorus - you know, just a loop from an old funk record or somesuch.
The cool thing these days is you no longer have to actually use an old record to get the effect - just program a funky groove that sounds like it's from an old record and you're away. Use a 'vinylizer' plugin over the loop to create that really raw and dirty record effect.
You could apply a little distortion to the lyrics during the chorus, too - like a guitar amp sim or summat (like Timbaland sometimes does on his productions). That could be getting too cliche though...

- You have an awesome attitude man, especially for a young bloke! You'll fit into the melbs hip hop scene for sure. No pretention goes a long way down here.
Check out SP-Forums.com - even though you're on the MP, I think you'd get along with the dudes on there like a house on fire - they are all about RAW hiphop. A few aussies on there too, and everyone's really freindly/helpful. Quite the opposite of MPC-Forums really. LOL.

Crease said… - Fair play man, I use an MPC2500 but I do like messing with Live Reason and Sonar. I think its good to mix things up like that when ur makin beats..
Listened to "Hands Down", some nice flow on that track bro. Keep them comin.
Peace..

- "Hands Up" - cool track man - perhaps change the beat structure during the chorus? I dunno much about hiphop but it seems like the music in the chorus should change up a little?
"Red-belly Black Snake/ Bass Strait" - very cool aussie rhyme. Keep it up man!

I love my stanton TT, but then I'm more techno orientated
