yo Phabeon, dont listen to Mr Brown, i think everyone heres gotten to know how narrow minded he is, respect for goin and doin that, on a level, its not easy to walk into a piano class, its kinda wierd, specially in those circumstances. i got an idea for your sheet music, download a midi version of a hiphop song, i used to do this in the early days, just to see how the midi broke down, then get a program off the net that converts midi to score and score to midi, and just convert, it might not be perfect but you will be able to perfect it and improvise, when youv done your piece, record it man, and let us all here :)

I have been looking for free sheet music for those songs for agggggggggesssss. Any way, i found this site. Your supposed to download the sheet music but you get a preview of the first page, and especially with hip hop one you have the first page down it tends to repeate its self. You have to download a program and then it plays it at what ever tempo you want and theres a few other options to help you learn it, i had hours of fun on this. http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com

You should flip some John Coltrane...Listen to Asheru ft Talib -MOOD SWING(which is done w/Coltrane's-IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD)
or
MY LITTLE BROWN BOOK(Coltrane as well)

Just an idea...might be too slow for what your lookin' for but you could mess around with it and make it yours.

nah man but seriously keep yo head up..tryin to school yo self in every aspect of music
iza must..and hats of fo what you doin with those old cows..just think of everything as a lesson and KEEP askin "dumb" questions..this is what ill do with the sheet thing..
first of all forget about it..just find a dope track that u really really dig..cuz u gonna have to hear it over and over..first find the right keys the piece is in..write it down..find the chords and transitions..practice practice practice..this way you not only can play a dope jam on keys but you also teach yourself how to analyze things and recreate them..and yo from there on you might be able to rock your own dope jams..ait

imho your best bet is Reason. get a reason demo, test it on that...
ive seen reason work on some really old machines, if you limit it to a couple of synths or whatever

if that doesn't work, ditch it


otherwise people might tell you some older software like buzz-something, but i doubt you wanna learn a whole new system...

ahhhh here we go again wit these gangsta'z and their internet beef... west side!

but nah somebody HELP this little girl from tanzania learn to read man.. yo what is he talkin bout? nowhere in my post do i mention ram for the mpc? unless he talking about a post regarding memory upgrades for a laptop cuz i don't see it... that would be nice..

oh yeah mr. brown i HATE my haircut too, so what?? what can you do to me? thats right!! nothing!! (see me i'm samplin YOU off the net now too) it was gangsta, gangsta at the top of the list...

aight on to real business. i have this question regardin sequencing on the mpc... i want to know is this based on my wackness. i.e. i need to improve my skill on the chops... or is it a setting i can tweak/change..

when i do my sequence song mode, i put my sequences together via that screen. When it goes from one seq to the next its a quick little bit of silence, not much or bad but its NOTICABle.. ex. i have my seq #1 an intro sample of 8 bars tempo at 145 then seq #2 is the beat aka my sample wit drum ect. 4 bars tempo at 90... so when it goes from seq #1 to seq #2 its a quick second gap difference.. small/slight but noticable..

it makes for a NON flowin song... so my question is... is that adjustable or if not what am i doing wrong or how can i make it so that doesn't happen?


aight i hope i was able to articulate that well enough to be understood and get some good feedback on that..

thank you all
peace
