""Production" is overrated..."


  

          

at this point...

Write a decent song first, then "produce" it...

We have forsaken songcraft for "production"...

Everybody worried abt the gizmos on the latest gear...

Fuck that...you need great material first before you can start talking abt great production...

i live...music is the voice of my god, my vehicle for spiritual enlightenement..."

           the Beatles definitely had good material
Aug 14th 2003
10
           Maybe Prince too
Aug 14th 2003
12
           live performance of songs
Aug 14th 2003
26

Aug 14th 2003
8
      well... not exactly.
Aug 14th 2003
11
           Now there's a question
Aug 14th 2003
13
                well...
Aug 14th 2003
14
                     Right
Aug 14th 2003
16
                     well the basslines are never really heavy either..
Aug 14th 2003
20
                          they don't really have basslines as we know them
Aug 14th 2003
23
                               I heard they use plectrums *eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww*
Aug 14th 2003
27
                               yup.
Aug 14th 2003
31
                                    um...
Aug 14th 2003
93
                               yeah
Aug 14th 2003
32
                               does the bassline have as prominent a place
Aug 14th 2003
35
                                    don't open that can of worms...
Aug 14th 2003

                                    true

24
                          OK so what we're actually talking about is
Aug 14th 2003
30
                               i think it might have been the other way around
Aug 14th 2003
34
                               so it's the technology
Aug 14th 2003
53
                                    It's ironic your name is Greg....
Aug 14th 2003

                               production = the sound
Aug 14th 2003
36
                     yeah....drums are to black music what geetars are to
Aug 14th 2003
19
                     I think the combination could be slammin

76
           good lyrics can make a song better though
Aug 14th 2003

                that's true in a sense
Aug 14th 2003
74
                     i agree
Aug 14th 2003
77
                          then in that case is the MC really worth anything?
Aug 14th 2003
