#29 Sounds like something you can make some money from, dont give away that sample, and if u sampled an MP3, do yourself a favor and buy the latest CD mastered copy and redo it. It will be worth the $15 i garuntee u can sell that beat. Especially to a West Coast artist...

What do you use to produce?

[itwaswritten]

Fruity Loops

[Logic86]

You ever tryed reason? Logic likes that better than FL

does logic have a setup for reason?

[Wobble Jazz]

Your sh!t is tight as far as the sample chops go, but your drums are too loud for the tracks at times, try ****ing with the eq in fruity loops, I don't use that program much but I know it has a decent eq feature to it

Other than that you got some good sh!t

[Logic86]

does logic have a setup for reason?:yes: but its an old version takes up alot of space too

well, you actually stumbled upon a trick used by a lot of top producers - where they don't sample the original more famous version of a song but instead they sample a cover version of it (made roughly around the same time so that the style is somewhat consistent with the original.) It serves three main purposes 1.) cheaper to sample a cover than it is an original 2.)covers are a lot harder to identify, so at times you might not have to clear the sample at all (at your own risk of course) 3.) everyone knows the original, so sampling a cover is far more original and gives your beat a unique quality.

For example, GZA sampled a cover of the Rascals' "Groovin" by Willie Mitchell on the track "Liquid Swords" ...Biggie sampled a cover of The Jackson Five's "I'll Be There" by Johnny Hammond on the track "Party & Bullsh*t" ...and EPMD sampled a cover of Otis Redding's "Tramp" by Lowell Fulsom on the track "Rampage"

So if there's a popular old song you like, do a search for just the song title and see how many different versions of that song you can find...you'd be surprised how many great samples you'll find that way.
