yeah, i was actually gonna do my own cover of the madlib album, but i realized that i had a lot more to learn about music structure and theory and i didnt want to do sheit half assed, so i started reading up and learning music theory, gots to get more proficient in playing the keys and guitar...and learning how to play my drum machine as a live instrument (i.e. not preprogramming the keys, but hitting the pads in real time, to give it a human quality without sounding too mechanical). do you spin man? any impressions on cdjs? i'm probably picking up the numark CDx
what a phucking beast of a machine, it feels like vinyl its unreal, its an instrument on its own, but i need two of them so i gotta save up...possibilities are endless, u can mix mp3s but my primary focus is to record my own shit and then sample it. you've heard edan's album right? i love how he sampled 60s psycadelic rock music and made it fit so well. my hip hop idol is prince paul, that's why im onto the music theory tip, cause his music is so much on the happy tip, major chords kind of stuff. did you hear his instrumental album "itstrumental"? dude's a phucking genius. if anyone else besides dob is reading this, pickup "itstrumental" by prince paul, for an example of some modern sheit that only prince paul can sound like.
