Talk and share knowledge on rare records, sources of new samples, vinyl, diggin, etc

yes your exactly right but dre has money and he has over 40,000 records to go through and he was probably a collecotr before he was a producer.I dont have any so i'm trying to get some help then when i start making money and i have time i can dig myself.Also nobody answered my question about dope record shops in Toronto because there are none.Where do i dig from.There are mad record shops in the U.S. but there are none in my area.

i live in kitchener, i have 2 records shops within 30 minutes of me, and i still manage to pull samples/make beats. you live in toronto, which it 100 time bigger and more compact. go look in the phone book. go look in the classified, may i recommend the classfieds.

you actually gunna pay 1$ a pop? man you could be paying that for a record if you looked hard enough.

not only that,. but lets say you make it in the industry, you want it to leak that you pay some dudes to fiind the samples and you construct the beats with them? even if you didn't pay them, its still wack to ask someone else to do all the labour. roll your sleves up and find an alternate

i dont mean to sound like a prick or anything, but yo, i dont care who you are or what you produce, but if your asking someome to guide you through the process, your not a respectable beatmaker/producer

you say you have no knowledge, well neither did anyone of us on starting day. for once in my life, i can tell someone else not to rush things. if you dont knwo what your lookin for then why you trying to produce. get the knowledge first and then get down to work. you only learn by trial and error, and your not goign to gain a hella lot of knowledge from someone else doign the work for you.

plus 1$ a pop is ridicoulous, you better be making bangers at 1$ a sound otherwise your gunna start loosin money.

most of us here had to learn, and you will to someday, so might as well start now.

if you wanna get things kickin try some sampels CD's. thats a wise investment , but once you start making serious beats, you gotta pull the samples your self.

beatmaking is an artform so be creative.

peace man, and good luck.

Yes you still manage to make beats and get samples but how good are they?I'm syre i'm not going to find better samples in Toronto than in the U.S.

Binger those record shops dont have the old 70's stuff.Only like the new stuff they have.

They ain't in a twist.....its just bullschit asking someone else to do the hardest part for you.....

By beatridah Sun Nov 21, 2004 5:49 am
I dont understand how i'm asking somebody else to do the hardest part for me when i'm offering $1 per sound.Just for now because i want to get some work done quickly.

By MATT_MEDEIROS Sun Nov 21, 2004 6:05 am
quickly? quickly? hold up, did he say quickly?

dude your not gunna climb te chain any faster if someones helping you, you'll still have to over come certain obstacles and challenges that people cant hold your hand through.

and in response to your question, i am very pleased with the beats i make, and at this pace in a year from now i'll have very good material. but untill then i gotta keep working. i've only been doing this for a short time, and in a short time when my beats are solid it will be thanks to hard work and inspiration.

the alchemist himself said its not what samples you take, but what you do with them. the samples doesn't make the ebat, you make the beat. go get creative.

oh and you need to stop being a linear thinker/ i can guarantee you'll find dope samples in other genres than "that old 70's stuff" go experiment.

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

are you going to buy your skills too?????

By beatridah Sun Nov 21, 2004 8:13 am
nah, i got more skills than you'll ever have.Having skills and being musically inclined to produce a track have nothing to do with having knowledge of records and having a collection or not.So what Dr.Dre doesn't have skills because he has a keyboardist play his keys,a bass player for his bass,and i guitar player?

btw, Dre had skills before he aquired those players.....

By elmacaco Sun Nov 21, 2004 8:56 am
Correction, dre got those players because of his skill.

I'm sure he don't pay a dollar a sample.

Sad, now people want sampler presets.
