Mixtape Preparation

[HAYZI]

if no one has the cababilities of producing their track.....

send me the instrumental beat and acapella they are putting forth.I will be happy to mix and edit they shit.

BTW i just produced 8 banging instrumentals yesterday for future projects i plan to put forward .

I think this mixtape idea will take tr shady to the next level.

what program do u use bruv, for ur production??

[Coccoa]

I can mix tracks too. In fact i plan to mix track and then mix them all together to sound like a mixtape.

One thing that bothers me still is, how we gonna promote it.

EDIT: Me i use Cool Edit Pro 2.00 Good stuff, i tried Acid or other shit but it didnt work for me. CEP 2 is hella cool.

to be honest em no ones gonnna buy it, we got ppl on it that aint even rappers, it aint gonna be good enuff that ppl apart from on tr will even take the time to download it

for production im using alot of software.

magix sound essentials vol 1 to 4

magix music maker hip hop edition

fruity loops

acoustica audio mixer

atopmixmp3

thats just some of the software

I use my p160 sennheiser headset to record my acapellas (that headset cost me

[HAYZI]

yo so real is there any way you cud send me fruity loops bruv? i got Reason but fruity loops is meant to be worth havin

[Coccoa]

Yeah that would prolly work but i am still thinking that we need to advertise the mixtape on other boards. Who said we aint good enuff? Dont let it drag you down. If we put some effort it will be good. And as far as i know, not many people did a mixtape. I ve seen other boards like the shadybase board, they even locked their audio downloads for the "elite" ranking forummers. All we gotta do is simply spread out. And of course that TrShady Mixtape banner wouldnt be bad at all.

i can defo gone try dig it up....i do think fruity loops is good,you can get some well good results.I'll go find it in my stack of discs

[$0 R3@L]

yeh em good idea.....i say we see what people on tr think of the mixtape.Then we go spread that shit like butter on bread.Stuff like a cover and little advertising banners as our siggys would also be worth considering

[Coccoa]

Yeah. For now, let's just start doing songs and tracks for it.

[Coccoa]

Ahem...a lil speech.

So far we havent even agreed about the beats, the songs and even the mixtape name. Yet we continue saying "oh yeah i ll do that song" and "i ll do this one" and shit. So here is my plan of doing things.

Part 1: Songs
What we want is to choose what everyone is gon do. You gon do a pimp song? You gon do the gangsta song? A freestyle? What? There is already a 10 song tracklist, and if you want 1 more or 2 more it's still fine. But everyone is gotta make a choice. We cant forward this thang without already having a clear mind and a strong choice.

Part 2: Beats
So far, nearly no beats are accepted. My idea is to link every song of the tracklist to one single beat, accepted by the people who will do the track. There is a whole load of beats we can get, we can even rap on stolen beats (its a mixtape so who cares). But so far we are just giving beats to eachother without even knowing what will this beat be for.

Part 3: Acapellas
If we reach that point, that means everything is doing good, but that's not the end of it. You people might need to record your 16s again and again, for many reasons including quality, tempo, style and everything. For example, you cant do a pimp song in a bad mean 2pac mood. You gotta have this pimping style, this Snoop inside ya. That's just an example. So dont think that you spit your 16 bars and that's all. I know it's frustrating but that's how things are.

Part 4: Mixing The Tape
The only thing you gotta do now is put the acapella files to a zipped archive and upload them. Me or So Real will mix the tracks and in the end, i am gonna mix the songs. There wont be a leading single since it's a mixtape. Only 10-14 tracks and a cover for the mixtape, courtesy of mr Aspirine.

Part 5: Promotion
The rest of the Trshady community will have to listen to the tape first, before we send it out. If there are some good comment about it, which i think there will be, we promote it as much as we can. Links to different boards and of course a Trshady banner on the main page. In the end, if there is more love than we all exprected, we might do a second mixtape.
