To be honest man, I'd suggest to get rid of them rappers with that bout it bout it sh*t, and just stick to production, some of the little snippets were bangin' and they sounded high quality. If that's your studio in the pic than damn, your set man! Just keep knockin' some hard beats out and give them to some dope rappers. Big up's on the beat production, mix, and mic level's.

The only question's I have are what mic and preamp were you using?

I'm gonna test my gear knowlegde off the top of my head on this post so here goes, correct me if I'm wrong.

Mackie HR-824's
Mackie Digital 8buss mixer
Asr10X
Mpc2000xl
EMU-proteus 2000
Mopads under monitors
Roland Variphrase on the left?
I'm stuck with the rest? What interface are you recording to, it sounds mixed down from 24bit?

OK, I'm jealous now, drooling and junk. You got a nice setup, and, I'm still jealous by the way.. I used to have an ASR-X Pro and sometimes I wish I had NEVER sold it. Just beautiful REDness..

As far as sound quality, I do agree you can get better, with time, patience, and practice you'll get there. Your gear supports you! So far I like the concept of your beats as of now, and that will get better too in the future.

Can you list all that you have? I'm just droolin' lookin at the pics.

doc loopologist wrote:man, with all of that money invested...

your beats should not sound like that.


Better gear means better gear, period. How his beats sound is totally up to him no matter what gear he has. Of course the gear helps to expand on ideas all-the-while giving a tremendous amount of canvas to paint with but it has nothing to do with the amount of gear or money. You can make hits on damm near anything and be broke as me. MABZ just happens to have NICE toys to play with, and by the way MABZ, I'm still jealous, hehe..
