This one’s a really old version of T-RackS that I’ve used to help me master finished mixes. If you don’t know how to master tracks or can’t afford someone else to do it, you can use this app to maximize the sound out of your tracks. Later incarnations of this app include VST versions that you can use on your DAW’s, so if you like this app, you may want to research the newer versions of T-RackS as well as other similar apps such as iZotope Ozone.
This week we have the third part of the breakbeat bundle. =D
The next part in the series, this one contains more funky dopeness, including one of the most recognizable breakbeats of all time, Melvin Bliss’s “Synthetic Substitution.”
One more to go in the set. With 300 breakbeats so far between all 3 parts of the series, you boom-bap producers out there have a lot of drums to work off of.
Today’s update of the MsP Beats Section has a beat called “Post Up.”
This is one is inspired by the Lex Luger beats that have been used recently, such as “BMF” by Rick Ross, “H.A.M.” by Kanye West and Jay-Z, and “Hard in da Paint” by Waka Flocka.

I’m currently in my Music Theory II class, and I’m hoping to use some of the techniques and pointers I’ve been learning in the class into my music. For reference, here are the appropriate ranges for singing voices as outlined in class:
These ranges are a little flexible, as I’ve seen other sources have these ranges expanded, at the most, by a full step in one or both directions. You can use these ranges to determine whether or not the key that you are writing in will fit with a particular singer if you know their range.
