Holy shit this is bad as hell...what do you use to mix?

[desmondo]

when you say bad as hell do you mean good or bad?

My set up is MPC 2500, GarageBand and isotope. I sometimes use ableton for bits and pieces

Cheers DES

When I say "bad as hell" I mean good like a free lap dance. The music is tight as hell, as per usual. Listen to the second verse...rhymes are on time perfectly in that verse. In the first and third, they are off a hair...I mean just a hair, like a 16th or so...

[desmondo]

Thanks for the lap dance and I now understand the difference in the verses. Thanks for the help - I do find the beastie pellas slightly off now and then

Des, part of your problem with the vocals is that they're around a half beat late in the 1st and 3rd verses.
With, "It's times like this when I just can't stop." "Times" is on the 1.
Same with, "B-Boys to the early morn." "Boys" is on the 1.
And the 3rd verse, "No time like the present." "Time" is on the 1.
Scooch those vocal tracks a half beat left. And if you seem to be having problems in the future, check the original songs.
The 2nd verse is right on. I think cause "Dogs" IS on the 1.

Is that a teeny Parliament hit sample I hear? Let that shit play!
you funktease.

[desmondo]

hey thanks for all that really useful - will check original in future and scooch this one.

No parliament but I have forgotten what the horn is will check and let you know it may be a blue note thing

Cheers DES

That sample is The Edge by David McCallum from the Dropping Science comp - there is also a bit of Apache and the Main Thing by Roxy Music in there:D
