super.
Thank U!

gorillainthemix · 9th February 2010

that bass playing he's doing sounds a bit like the stuff I've been doing lately with EWQL Hardcore Bass. Love it

beat you down · 9th February 2010

nice.
dre should be in it though.

The Vimeo videos look awesome... the beats on the tracks were tight as hell.

Paying per view though? Pass. I'd rather buy something and own it. I can understand the piracy issues, but I don't rent movies unless they're from the store down my street.

Not intending for this to divert into a piracy discussion. Looks like a cool movie.

Cheers.

Obviously he got the engineer record and chop the bass track bulk to trigger it later via the MPC).
BTW PSM - are those two 414 Golden Edition?

But why couldnt he just play all the through the song like a REAL bass player and give some LIFE to that beat???

terrytee · 9th February 2010

Well i really have confidence in this movie... lets see i went to there site to purchase and download and it seems it has to run on a exclusive program in order to view the documentary and there great wisdom they decided to go with a app that is PC only unless you got the iphone

Maybe some one will rip it and upload it to net.

Caine419 · 9th February 2010

Thanks for posting.
Focus is one of my favorite producers.

phillysoulman · 9th February 2010

I just love what Hereirra(sp) said about what a REAL producer is and does.
maybe the so called "beatmakers" will finally get it.

godphaser · 9th February 2010

Great vids thumbsup

Fredwreck has a very nice collection of synth and keyboards.

manasseh · 10th February 2010

It's a nice documentary, I ordered the dvd from a french site a couple of months ago (15 euro), it's worthwhile to see it, got some nice interviews, show the actual music making process, some gear involved, interviews to session musicians etc...The downside for me is that it does give much focus to some of G-funk music like Nate Dogg, Warren G, Foesum or Twinz which is the genre I like the most.

Im a fan of Focus - but I wasn't feelin the bass playing either, It was ok.. I think they just play enough to chop it in the MPC and quantize it. I did how ever like the P-bass and the Tone !! I have more respect for his father as a bass player...The late great Bernard Edwards! RIP

well I liked the SOUND! it had when it was running under the beat. Which is what reminded me of the EastWest Hardcore Bass modules.

There..2 assholes just farted.

lospat123 · 11th February 2010

wow this looks awesome , cant wait to watch it.

saintjoe · 12th February 2010

I watched...I liked it

I hate the format.

3 views? what? Just let me buy it!

the player gets all crazy if you forget to turn of your screensaver....there's one view gone because even if you catch it before it totally goes into sleep mode, the player just shows a funky purple screen...the audio still works, but no picture lol.

I don't like the idea of "renting" a video online...I'd rather pay a bit more and own it.

but I did like the video, it was pretty entertaining.

antoniosolo · 13th February 2010

Mad synthesizer collection....those bass skills definitely ain't with his pops chops...

I liked the guy, musically and his viewpoints:"that`s all cool, nobody should be intimidating".

Greatest docu covering up on the Westcoast music and culture, anyone know any other similar documentary? studio/beat making/equipment related.

They should have had my boy Johnny J in this though, the dude is Westcoast eternal.
