MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MADE OUT OF A VEGETABLE
posted by Genycis of SFB on July 13, 2010 9:56 AM | under General
Well, just when you think the creative have done all they can to show their creativity, there are still people out there that will take it to yet another level to show you that the creative mind is definitely something to be reckoned with. Of course, since SoundsForBeats.com focuses a lot on a variety of musical instruments, and since I happened to stumble upon this video on YouTube, I thought I'd share it with you all. So exactly what is the musical instrument that was created? And with what vegetable did this person create an instrument with? The thoughts of this creative mind decided to go a different route with a musical instrument. As displayed on the YouTube video below, he decided to take a power drill, and a few other pieces that he must have needed. He then proceeded to take the drill, and poke several holes into his vegetable ... >> Read The Full Article Here...

REASON 5.0 TO BE RELEASED SOON
posted by Genycis of SFB on June 27, 2010 12:54 AM | under General
 Okay, so amidst the debates and long battles with one another over which program is the most superior, which should be shut down, and which is easier to use when producing beats and instrumentals on, there seem to be more people that protect Propellerhead's Reason and give it more merit than other software programs. Yet, when you take a look at various polls, it's clear to see that there are more people that support FL Studio and Cubase over Reason. So will that change with the release of Reason 5.0 coming along soon? One can only guess and assume if Reason 5.0's long awaited release will help boost the Stockholm, Sweden based company once it's finally out on the market. I can honestly say that I am and always will be a FL Studio (Fruity Loops) user and fan. I've tried Reason before from a friend, but playing around with it ... >> Read The Full Article Here...

BLASTING BASS ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST CASE
posted by Genycis of SFB on June 23, 2010 9:54 PM | under General
I had to address this because I know there are a lot of beat makers and producers who started off creating this mistake that I remember doing as well when I first started creating hip hop beats and rap instrumentals. This is just a general tip, but I must say that it helps to create the overall mix sound better than anticipated. The simple tip... don't EQ your bass on the deep end and don't overdo the bass mixing on your track. There are so many hip hop beats, dirty south beats especially, that are composed or produced, that overdo the bass. Okay, we all know that dirty south beats are supposed to knock hard, that's a given. But, the more bass is added, especially on the lower end, the more cluttered the beat becomes clashing with the kick drums of the track. No one wants to hear clipping as a ... >> Read The Full Article Here...

TWITTER IS BENEFICIAL
posted by Genycis of SFB on November 25, 2009 12:28 AM | under General
 Who says having a Twitter account isn't really a benefit? Having a Twitter account measures greatly in a variety of different ways! It all depends on how you use it, and the work you put into utilizing it to be a greater tool than you would've thought. In the end, you could have the greatest tools, but if you're not using them right, it doesn't matter! I tell people this all the time in terms of hip hop beats, and how some people wish they had an MPC or other type of beat machine because they feel that the computer doesn't generate anything great! Tell that to the hundreds of kats online making hot beats on their PC! So how does a Twitter account benefit? There are a few ways that I can mention that a Twitter account is great to use! First of all, creating a following is key! Finding ... >> Read The Full Article Here...

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTALS AND THE SOUNDS INVOLVED!
posted by Genycis of SFB on September 07, 2009 10:18 AM | under General
 What's goin' on? Wanted to send shoutouts to all of you out there that are beat makers and music producers in the music industry doin' your thing! Much respect to you all. After all, without people like us making hot beats for rappers, singers, or other artists, the tracks wouldn't be as great. Don't get me wrong, acapellas are great too, but the life of a song in music is brought out more with a great instrumental behind it. Whether you add great hip hop beats to hip hop music, a hot r&b instrumental to r&b music, some bangin rap beats to a rap music album, overpowering guitar music to a rock song, or some eerie cinematic movie scores to a horror movie scene, the life of a song, or movie scene, or even video games, are all brought out with the instrumental. Think about it, and imagine the next ... >> Read The Full Article Here...
