Alright...I apologize to you and him...but people have different ways of working...and saying that to a newbie only intimidates them and makes them think making music is only for a special type of person who is a recluse...it just isn't true always. It may take one guy 10 minutes to make a usable beat and another one a week...and their audience might like them the beats the same. I will agree that you need to put in the time, energy, and learn everything you can...but I don't buy that you have to end your social life in order to be sucessful. Music can be a very social thing. Part of making music is listening to music. Listening to music can be done anywhere at any time. Being holed up in a studio 24 hours a day for years on end won't do anything but make you insane...though some good msuic may come out of it. I, by the way, do make music every day and only hang out with my girl on saturdays...after making beats.

then i think we are agreed on many aspects of this discussion :shock:

i think my comments are derived from what i see most people my age doing socially as opposed to what i see myself doing. granted, i have intense social anxiety disorder, but nevertheless - they go to parties, i sit in my room and make beats. every now and then i'll have a party - in my room while i'm making beats. sometimes i'll have sex....

in my room while making beats.

point taken...but i am poor..so i have to have a certain level of dedication because i spend all my money on this hip hop shit....i do have a girl and i do got a crew, but the most legendary musicians had an EXTREME level of dedication...

not if the two of you are two mature responsible people. not everyone goes out cheating on other people just because you are not in their presence 24/7.

i think everybody got different way of getting to the same place.

i like doing things "properly" (or i like to think so ;) ). the last 5 years i was making music i was acting similar to Nym and Solah. (staying home making music most of the time)
Quite recently i realized how important it is for my brain to actualy have a break and take it easy (meeting friends, watching movies, reading books). i just end up with more ideas, better beats.
i guess i need balance.
this apply to ME ONLY for creative stuff, for others i do not know, and for very technical stuff such as scratching (which i don't do), i agree that serious locks up in the studio are needed.

about what to get for someone who starts, i think (as sparq said) decent siz monitors (not the tiny one!) are what makes the most sens. at the end of the day if one cannot hear properly what their tracks sounds, it seems a bit difficult to end up with something which sounds good on different speakers. just talking about my own mistakes really, for years i though "bwwwah, i need no expensive speakers." And when i got some asnd got to know them, everything went much easier.

[OT]actually Nym, do you have decent monitors ? i was listening a track you posted the other day (staplemouth). I think your programming skills are real nice, just the mix of the low end sounded a bit messy on some places. it seems to me that the BD and the bass sounds where just on the same frequency, therefore eating each other. but i am just an amateur so i might be wrong :) [/OT]

this is premixed, i haven't tracked it out. this is a recording hot off the sampler/reason. there are probably some overlapping frequencies but i will take care of it when i master in acid

ofcourse i go out and do all those things, but it doesnt take all my money effort and time like it did before, i dont paint or bomb or spend time with my girl by taking her out anymore ya know what im saying? i read books watch moives do other things..but music is on my mind i relate or connect music to things i do everyday in some way...

but speaking about monitors i had a pair of some decent ones but hte reason i sold em (one reason being for the money) was that when i make music i wanted to hear everything that went on in the song very clearly but it came to my attention that i wanted music to sound dirty and sublime at the same time so i said to myself if i got good speakers and who ever hears my music doesnt whats the point?( i know theirs reasons but..) it wasnt my style...my music has alot of imperfections just like many other gritty raw sounding prodcuers out there and i believe its these imperfections in my music that come through make me unique (at least in my eyes).....i forgot my point but anyways i love this northern lights bomb bud im smoking right now its cheap right now here in sandiego so im enjoying it..ohh yea im writing this over a period of like 10 mins one becasue im i-rey and another is my **** is here and she wont shut the **** up...(Unless i slap her wit 7 inches of limp dick) but............................................I love raw hip hop because we make ghetto music for our struggles that we go thorugh from not paying rent on time to spending our money the first day we get paid we all make mistakes and thats what good music reflects not precisness but imperfections that are beautiful too..shit i lost my thought.....we anyways imma keep listenin to this VSOP herbie handcock record i bought in japan when i was over their while you guys read my thoughts going on and on........**** i love reggae...Im not listening to reggae a hugh mundell reaconrd called jah fire the re-issue with the augustas pablo dubs...i better get like 3 post for this one long post..piece.

nym -> your stuff is nice anyway. i just thought you would want some technical feedback...

solah -> funny post man!!
btw i did not mean to tell you to do same as i did. you have your way, I have mine and that's cool.
and yes, hugh mundell is a great artist :)
