Good Morning All! I had so much fun watching the BET 2010 Awards last night. My twitter timeline was hilarious the whole time lol.

I think this was one of the best years for the award show. They had a nice mix of hiphop, r&b, and even some gospel. I wanted to share some of my favorite performances:

P DIDDY DOES IT AGAIN! Dirty Money last night? Woo Wee I absolutely loved this segment. I already liked the song from when they performed it on American Idol…but today I had to go find the mp3!! Mr. Combs really knows how to entertain..
Dirty Money- Hello Goodmorning

The big talk of the night was Chris “Breezy’s” Micheal Jackson Tribute…. WOW!! He did an excellent job. He got so filled up at the end, that he could not even sing ” Man In The Mirror”. I am one who thinks, and feels deeply, so I can see how he got emotional. I know a lot of my friends are saying ” that was for promotion”..but I think his life issues came to a mental peak last night. If it was to get his career back in motion? It probably worked better than who ever conjured up the inappropriate idea expected..

Chris Brown MJ Tribute

Drake is a cool guy from all I’ve heard and seen of him. His performance last night was as I anticipated, flawless. He’s a smart artist. He seems as if he plans his moves wisely. So far they’ve worked like a charm

Drake ft Jeezy (Dake)

BET pulled a fast one throwing in a very nice performance from El Debarge. If I begin to explain how much The Debarge’s music has influenced my life, that’d be another whole post lol…. I will add that El Debarge was one of the first artist I “tried” to sample when I started producing…

Hey All! I really wanted to do this as a tutorial today. I am editing video, and photos from a wedding I filmed in NJ last weekend. Everything is going smooth, but it takes a lot of time for the video files. Time won’t allow a full length write up, I figured I can at least add the template because I know 2 people who have gotten Maschine recently….

This is fairly easy to use, and maschine should open up when you open the project file

This is a basic Reaper Template w/ Maschine.
I have routed 8 Maschine Outs w/ drums using NI Maschine factory sounds, and two Reaper Vsts
to midi out 1&2.

I have each Reaper track set to record audio
You can record your entire project inside Maschine, then track as audio in Reaper.

If you’d like to use more vst instruments, just “insert virtual instrument on new track” inside Reaper and press “io”. Next “add new receive,” and select “Maschine 1″. Change the 1st “Midi” box from “All” to “3″. You can continue to add up to 16 vst instruments by following the exact steps. Your next vst would >>Change the 1st “Midi” box from “All” to “4″..

As you add your instruments remember to assign the proper “midi out” inside Maschine as you add them…
Vst “1″ inside Reaper =Midi Out “1″ inside Maschine..and so on

Good Morn All! I’m rolling today, listening to local music, and checkin’ out Drake’s cd. I filmed a wedding with my hybrid cam last weekend in NJ. While editing the photos etc. I am enjoying the time to check out the new ear candy … Drake’s Cd will put an emotional tear in your eye at times, but I think it’s a super release…

Mullyman and I met back in 2004. He has been on a super grind with his music from then through now. I always love to see him live because his performances are always energetic. In today’s HipHop, it’s hard to find artist in the spotlight who still uses witty punchlines like Mullyman does. Every time we connect, I tell him “call me so we can make something happen”. After talking on twitter yesterday,I think we are finally going to do that this summer.. yaay!

I posted his infamous “I Go Harder” video, which was picked up by MTVJAMS. Well Mullyman and producer Dj BooMan are back with another banger!

I know I know ..you may think I’m saying this because they are reppin’ Bmore…but you have to admit…THIS IS an Awesome video! .
Check out the location, and the concept. I love the wrestling scene…. **pushes play for the 7th time**..nice work to all involved!

Is it Wednesday already? “Not” funny how time flies when you are working hard.. lol.. but we must press on. Hope your week is going good and the beats are flamin’!

I was setting up my old pc, new pc, all hardware, and software yesterday. Yes finally linking everything together, which will all be sequenced on NI Maschine. When I start doing things like this, I always wind up changing the lab.

Right now I have everything where I can easily reach it. I plan on moving to a bigger place, and eventually getting a new workstation/desk. When I first started, all I had was an Asr10 and a “gulp” 4 track Tascam recorder. For the past 10 years I’ve added things slowly. I’ve gone to pawn shops, ebay, and any where I could find a deal for hardware. I saved money for software and additions. From my booth to my desk, I used what I could find and afford. Here is a pic of my setup before I began to re-arrange:

I get a lot of questions about what equipment should be purchased to start a home studio. My answer today would be, a very decent pc built for music 1st. Once you invest in the core Pc or Mac for mixing and recording, then venture into other equipment. If you don’t have money to buy a brand new pc, at least invest in a quality soundcard or audio inerface, memory,and external hard drive to hold your files. Unless you plan to use all hardware from start to finish, your Pc or Mac will be the nucleus of your home studio set up.

From here, the choices are many. How much of a budget are you working with? If you have a starting budget of $500.00, you wouldn’t want to run out and buy a $399.00 midi controller. You may want to get:

………..a $37.17 controller,

………… $96.87 monitors,

99.00 mic,

………….and for composing, mixing, recording …

The following videos may help you get an idea of what producers are using. Think about what you want to achieve with your set up. Start with items you can build onto, grow with, and get the equipment that’s best for your budget..

I wish youtube was around when I started… this is great! He explains monitor placements, why he needed a mixer, and a lot more…by sdjacobus on youtube. I actually found this after I started the post, but he covers it all..

How To Build a Home Recording Studio CHEAP!
Using resources here.Scurvy Studios had a budget of about 500 bucks

It’s not a hard task to build a home studio once you have a few ideas on how to start…

Here I am at the keyboard. I have been studying music theory for a little over a year. I am beginning to understand scales ,key signatures, and I know some chord progressions. The thing I have the most trouble with is understanding which chord progressions go with which scale… ?

I am on a mission this next blog year. I will make it my business to learn theory enough to write a complete song by notes. After doing a little research, I still asked “where should I start?”

right click to download.. I made it for you today
The Circle of Fifths seems to be the answer everyone is telling me. I should learn how to use this after learning the 12 notes of the chromatic scale. From my understanding it will help me understand how to use” perfect intervals” to write music. Perfect intervals occur when notes are closely related in pitch and tone, which makes them sound good together. The Circle of Fifths is made up of notes which go up or down by perfect fifths (7 half -steps apart)…cool. the following video will help us understand this concept:

Let’s learn together on this. DON’T take this one lightly, take time to really get the concept. It’s starting to come together for me after watching the videos… if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments section:
