new info for hip hop producers

Ok i have a project i have been working on for a while now and it will simply be called a guide to hip hop the baiscs of production. First off i have made a brand new eq chart covering todays hip hop sound sets like 808s and warmer more vintage sounds to work from instead of the eq chart made for most live instruments. I have also rewrote a entire glossary of terms found in hip hop production explained in depth and easy to follow even for people who have never touched a mixer or sequencer before. There are a dozen chapters covering everything from sampling to mixing to how to acheive that overall sound that todays cds carry. It is still a few months from being finished but i need to know if anyone would be interested and if so i will have it published as a ebook and will sell for 5 dollars through paypal. As well as typical questions i will cover entry level equipment in this book for those of you who are just getting started. ( Adevanced techniques and equipment will be covered in a later book ) Thats it for now i just want to see if there is any intrest in this. If so post here with questions , comments or email me directly at [email protected] thanks for the time guys.

sounds cool to me bro... good for you for puttin that together

well i just saw a add for the hip hop producers bible ? I guess its going to be basically the same idea but dudes already got his in print. I dont think it will have the excess work mine has because i have note books full of info i have been collecting over the last year and a half but good looks. If anyone has the hiphop bible let me know.

Not to diminish your work, but Im pretty skeptical of things like this. Hip hop is already formalized enough and what we dont need is more new jacks doing $hit by the numbers. Instead of locking it down and placing hip hop underneath several inches of glass to be studied with a microscope, why not let it breath?

my opinion towards analyzing production and everything that goes along with it is that the more education i get from any facet the more i'm able to to think outside the box, breath, whatever you wanna call it. i'm amazed at how much i still don't know even about the basics...... so EYEO, if you had an ebook that had a lot of content and ideas....even if i knew 95% of it, i'd still be down to drop 5 bones on that 5% of unknown information just cuz it fascinates me...so, keep goin man, i got 5 on it. peace!

How can you possibly say that? He could have binders full and tons of info on his computer and pulled knowledge from years of research and/or experience. You don't know, so you can't say that. I'm not knocking you, I'm just saying don't knock him. Here's my advice, if you really want to make a go at it:

Interview a few producers and engineers, too. They don't have to be big names. Underground cats with recognizable names and some local engineers is fine. Ask a few stock questions: tips for drums, tips for bass, tips for vocals, overall gear tips. And if you really want to appeal to the newbies, spend some time on various forums and take note of some of the basic questions that are asked (cables, specs, etc). Spend some space on addressing those. You'll ensure that nobody gets lost along the way...if that's your intention.

My final bit of advice is to go buy dude's book. Read it from front to back and see what makes his work...and what makes it not work. Your advantage is that you're selling it for $5. Your disadvantage is that you're selling it for $5. Think of the old adage about CD pricing. In the eyes of the consumer: "If it's cheaper than the next man's CD, it must not be as good." That doesn't mean it's always true, but that's how consumers in general think, because sometimes it IS true. Bottom line is, if it's well written, and cats feel like they're getting something out of it, then you should make a few bucks.

I wish you luck, man. I'll probably buy just on the strength of support. Keep us posted.
Peace

i will buy them both. The more info i can learn the better i will become.

Not to knock you but doesn`t Tutor already sell this in the MPC 2000XL beatmaking guide?????

But go ahead and show a example of your book.
