Tribute to late great entertainers




First off, I don't want to offend anyone with the content of this post. My only intension is to pay tribute to awsome public figures that we all loved and will all miss.
You know i was sitting watching the B.E.T awards with my wife and it dawned on me. We just lost 3 great entertainers in less than two weeks. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and a man i grew up loving his music, Micheal jackson. I was a huge fan of Dukes of hazard, Charlies Angels. Ed McMahon was a face you just knew, he's been on T.V. for all i can remember in my few years and to me he was apart of T.V. If you had a T.V you had Ed. I Love music and i remember listening to Micheal Jackson when I was a child. I feel like i grew up with him from Off The Wall to Thriller and all the way up until he passed. We will all remember these Icons as well as those who passed on before them. We will miss You. Legends live forever!!!!!!!!

How to improve your production skills


Lots of producers have particular choice of musical equipment, or pc program in which they have compfort in using. Some use only one while others may use a few. Well for those of you who have mastered one pc program such as Fruity Loops, Reason , Garage Band, Livelite, ect. I have some info you mite appreciate. Most people have a favorite program or piece of equipment they would like to have but can't afford. My choice would be the Timberland version of creative labs Neko. Since i dont have the 6 or 7 thousand that it goes on the market for, i have expanded the way i make beats using a combination of vst and dxi programs through a recording program. For instance i use Nuendo to host reason and fruity Loops. Just open nuendo then use Fruity loops and Reason as a vst device. This allows you to make beats the same way you would in Fruity Loops or Reason but record it all in Nuendo. This creates a different sound of music since reason is a more powerful program with a overall better sound then fruity Loops and fruity loops is more user friendly plus it supports countless vst and dxi programs. But above all Nuendo as well as pro-tools have effect plug-ins that give your production unlimted room for your muscal imagination. For more info try searching YouTube and other video search engines for more in depth video tutorials.

Getting the most out of myspace and soundclick.com


If you are a producer like me then your always looking for ways to promote your music. everyone knows of Myspace, Soundclick, Bebo, Blackplanet, Tunecore, and the list goes on. What most people dont understand is that just because your on one of these doesnt mean you'll get noticed. As a matter of fact you almost have to purchase a promotional tool from all of these sites to genorate profile views. Those views lead to sales. Im currently running a promotion campaign on soundclick.com to promote hip hop/rap instrumentals that i have made and would like to sell. I saw the diffirence in profile views and downloads instantly. I get emails and comments all the time now. You have to spend money to make money so they say. Fortunately these promotions are not that expensive so don't be afraid to try them out. Who knows, if your that good someone mainstream may discover you. Good Luck.

O by the way feel free to check out my web pages. Thats soundclick.com/dainj and myspace.com/dpdainj Thanx again

The Passion For Fruity Loops





Many producers have various opinions about wether Fruity Loops is a true producer choice program. I started with version 4 and have purchased every version since. For the serious producer with a intense music imagination Fruity Loops can be all one needs with the help of countless vst programs that Fruity Loops host. Not to mention that there are tons of websites that provide step by step video tutorials that can really help you understand how the program really works. It is one of my favorite programs to use along with others such as, Reason, Native instruments, Nuendo, Pro tools, and countless others.
