We have officially introduced a “Reader Submitted” section to BABPTV. If you want to get some extra views and some extra shine for whatever you are doing, this will be a good look. If you have any new or old beat making, in studio & tutorial videos (or anything else that may be useful & interesting to other producers/beatmakers), we will post them up on BABPTV. There are a few things to consider before you send the videos over….
I forgot I recorded this… When I was up in Dukes’ studio, we were discussing drums and I thought of an interesting question to ask him. I left my recorder in my car and had to record this with my blackberry. At the time, I wasn’t planning on posting the actual audio of the interview. So please excuse the poor quality & shortness of the bonus haha. I guess it’s better than nothing…
I heard a rumor once… Some may even call it a legend. It revolved around a producer from Toronto named Frank Dukes. As the story goes, Dukes landed in New York City with only his MPC, $20 and a suitcase full of vinyl. Since then, Dukes has managed to work with 50 Cent, Drake, Ghostface Killah, Joel Ortiz, Kool G Rap, and many more MC’s.
After some searching, I finally tracked down Dukes. We discussed many things; beat making, 2 tracking, pan handling… and I found out how true some legends can be.
Hey everybody… This is the 100th post on Be A Better Producer. Technically it’s the 704th, counting sample matrix and BABPTV. But as far as the real deal blog posts go… number 100!
I figured I should waste it on some type of commemorative deal. Just wanted to say thanks to all of those who have supported this site thus far. As I say every time someone tells me they like my blog, “it will only get better”. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart & soul. So please stick around for that.
Here are a few fun facts about BABP…
Thanks For Visiting!
