So hav u eva recorded ur live instrumentation into any of your compositions?
Its a gud thing that im talkin to heads here.
Actually cla**ically trained musicians or jazz artists look at hip hop as bein a rather non challenging genre to transcribe coz of its 'loop style' and effortless progressions in most instances.Just their opinion. though...
your thoughts?
-
i compose beats, i am very into musical pieces. not to say there's anything wrong with a loop but at least compose your own loop...ive been cla**ically and contemporarily trained but i dont think that hip hop is easy or inferior. theres a skill to write really good music regardless of the genre. to be relevant and tight in that genre is the challenge and although the progression might be simple, its how you work it that matters.
my thoughts anyway.

-
Pino Palladino ? hmmmmm shud chek him out.
I knw BK uses them Redefinition dudes a lot when he need session artists nd that.the sound is too dope,heavy ba** lines,crisp drumz and melodic keys
Any of you plug in your instruments to record? Is it to a mixer or straight to tha audio interface? Which works better?Cubase, Pro Tools?
With an emphasis to on Ba** guitars.Bt all instruments welcome...

At the crib i've recorded keys, ba**, electric guitar, all conected directly into the sound card.
Then i've recorded acoustic guitar, violin, trumpets etc with my mics.
