Mils · 9th August 2007

Greetings peoples,

I've been making beats and performing since 1998, but I've came to a place where I want my instrumentals for performing over to be BANGIN! The albums get a lot of praise that I produce for quality and being original when listened to on any home systems, ipods, computer speakers etc.

BUT! ! !

It always seems like the headliners have sound quality from another dimension that you feel the bass and the sounds pushing air into the audience...thats the one thing that makes hip hop so NICE! But even whe we headline I've still had 1 opening group come with the crispist most moist and tasty sound. Mine sounded like mush :( boo urns......

Anyway I learned that the best show beats are masters made of your instrumentals while you are getting your ish mastered....You simply ask the ME to make "T V Tracks" of your instrumentals while they are running the full songs and while the settings are collaborated they just slide the instrumental with maybe a chorus on it thru and its BLAM!

Fortunately, I got this advide just recently from some of my mentors who told me that TV tracks were the shit! They called em TV tracks.....But I've only done that once for our latest album and it did turn out fabulo and with our shows this summer although there is a huge differencet bettween older gems that peoople wanna hear that dont compare the the ones we had done.

So if anybody has any DIY, step by step, plug ins and technuiqe for achieving this stellar sound, drop some knowledge.
