Hey all.. what a busy week I’m having which is a wonderful thing. Last night I did an interview with Frannie Kelley producer from NPR Music. The photographer hired for the segment is Johnathan Hanson, who’s done work for The New York Times, USA Today and other major publications.
Talk about excited! This is national .. woo hoo. They are doing a piece about Females of Baltimore HipHop. I’ll keep you posted and let you know when it airs….
For all those who are waiting for comment replies, I’ll get to some tonight and the rest in the morning.
I’ve posted a lot on 9th Wonder. I guess that shows how much I like the classic hiphop soul beats he makes. Most of you know that 9th is Fl Studio power user. I heard that he’s extended his equipment and added the Mpc. This video is really cool because you actually get to see him using the mpc2500.
I stumbled upon this site today.www.indabamusic.com/community.From the Indaba website:”Indaba Music is a community of musicians making and managing music online.“. I’m checking out the specs. I think fellow producer GeeWiz mentioned this to me before…
For those of you who need artist, this seems like an easy way to collaborate. You could get your beats to artist from all over the world…
The software looks real nice. You can work online or offline. Indaba Music Console 2.0 Tutorial

I’m gonna sign up and look around….Are any of you members? Let me know how its working for you.
It’s all about the infamous fruit! Just as we get version 8 down, Image-Line has released Fl Studio 9. WOW! is what I have to say just from looking at the pictures:
I installed it this morning so I haven’t had a chance to really get into all the new features yet. It looks like an amazing update. Sure to be the best one yet!
I am already interested in the playlist additions. They have added a “Track View” which will allow you to use the playlist as a sequencer. This means Fl is becoming more and more like Reaper, Sonar, Cubase, and Protools. New Playlist

There are many tutorials on earlier versions of Fl Studio that will give you a basic idea of how to get started. Version 9 has a lot of great additions. The following videos will help you understand earlier versions of the program thoroughly. This will make learning version 9 a breeze!

Quick Update
WooHoo! I am very happy to say I upgraded to the latest version of wordpress. No problems, no lost post this go round. I still want a new layout, but right now I am happy to be posting regularly again.
Many of you have been following the blog since day one. You probably noticed the post and tutorials became less frequent. The music got going, and I had to manage my time better. I think I’ve got a solid system now. I won’t be able to post every single day, but I will be posting as much as possible like I did before.
I love you all for being patient, and knowing how the music business goes. Since I started the site I’ve branched into engineering. Sessions hardly end on time, and mixes take hours. The more I learned, the easier it got. So here we are today, back where we should be … more post,… more tutorials,… more music production, hiphop and life
What a way to kick off fall unofficially. I’m always adjusting my set up. I like finding the most efficient way to work. I also like using different equipment on different days. Sometimes I’ll use software, other times I’ll use hardware.
I use Fl Studio and Reason most. Last week after working in Fl Studio, I thought ” I really wish I could record a synth from my Micron right now”. I wanted to record a quick melody directly into Fl Studio, without opening another program. There are several ways to do this in Fl Studio, but I always seem to have buffer problems.
Looks like NFX has figured out the perfect solution. The Audio Logger? I never paid this any attention at all, so you know I am excited to try this. I have fl studio open as I type. Let me know if it works for you…
