hip hop

First I'd like to say that I'm a newbie here, I have read the rules of this part of the forum, and I was delighted that this is for real musicians with real instruments and real equipment.

Warning: This song would be labeled explicit lyrics. However it's being made for radio (eventually maybe lol) so, it's not chock full of it. He basically uses the N word a few times, but he is black, I feel like that makes a big difference lol. And I'm not in the habit of telling anyone what they can say or not say.

I'm tracking an ep currently that is a trip-hop, rock, jazz group.
Spent allot of time at the mic and drums getting the sound as close as possible to what we want, now it's time to emphasize that.

The drums sound i'm after for most of the songs is along the lines of the drums you can hear in these two songs.

Alright I've read a lot and seen a lot of people get flamed, but I'm just trying to get answers.

I'll be straight forward. I want to rap, hip hop r&b type stuff. I found good reviews on the AT4050. I found a preAmp Grace m101 , a compressor dbx 160a, then I found an interface called the MOTU UltraLite-mk3.

Hi Everyone,

I was planning on buying a Akai MPD26 MIDI Controller and wanted to incorporate hip hop beats on top of my guitar rhythm that I record. What would be the best software that will allow me to have a diverse amount of hip hop sounds, but also allow me to record like I would normally? Thanks.

I need someone who has considerable experience in using Cubase or FL Studio to work with on some projects.

Thanks!

I am working on hip hop beat for a couple days now i have been trying to base my drums around kanye west devil in a new dress for example he has this drum break down with the tom toms and crashes i would like to replicate it. if u guys have any pointers about how to place my drums on wat bpm like where my snares, kicks, high-low toms, and crashes would, go i would really appreciate that

I'm about to get started in recording songs but I need to know what equipment to get to get that 90's type of vocal sound.

I have 300$ to buy either a a mixer or mic preamp or whatever I should get to at least get me started. I plan to also buy a Stellar CM5. Something like Too Short - Way to real has that special delay and warm sound that I like.

I can give you about 5 examples of my vocal style/range, which pretty much summarizes it all. Building Castles's Profile - Indaba Music Most of it isn't really hip hop from these particular examples, but in my music, I do a fair amount of rapping and I sing in every song. Black Holes would be a good song to check out, as it represents both my rapping and my singing.

Hey Guys,
