This week we have a useful app for you boom-bap producers. =D
If you can’t afford turntables, or can’t get your record on vinyl to scratch, and you need to scratch vocals, this is the app for you. Courtesy of the good folks at AnalogX,this app allows you to load in 2 mono .wav files (one for looping, one for scratching). You can then record one or the other or both. You scratch by clicking and dragging your mouse on the wave shown playing on the interface. Once you’ve recorded your scratches (they come out in .wav format), you can do with them as you wish at that point.
This has been one of the most helpful apps for me, because I’m a big Premo fan, so whenever I needed scratches this was my goto app; free and works perfectly.
Boom-bap producers who can’t afford turntables, your welcome. =]
For an example, you can check out the most recent Black and Blue Ink. song we did, Wordsmiths. The scratch of my boy Flight’s vocals were done in this app.

Producers… come out to play… =D
With over 1500 drum samples, this is our largest kit uploaded to date, and is our most comprehensive. The usual stuff is in there (kicks, snares, hats), and you even get claps, castinets, various effects, percussion, tambourines, shakers, snaps, chimes, and more.
I’m guessing it’s called the MPC3000 for the vintage Akai sampler, but I don’t know if it’s a sound set from the unit itself or bundled, or whether it’s inspired from sounds that came with it. As I mentioned in a previous post for the vault for the MPC-2000XL kit, producers such as DJ Premier and Evil Dee of the Beatminerz are very big into the MPC’s.

Here we are with another Production Vault Wednesday. =]
This bundle has three kits. The first two are inspired by two of the most legendary producers of hip-hop, DJ Premier and Pete Rock. Both of these kits contain dirty vinyl laced drums and some small instrument hits that are reminiscent of their styles. The Pete Rock one has some horn hits that give you a hint of Soul Brother #1.
The third kit is a huge kit, and it’s a collection of drums I’ve cut from hip-hop tracks and other genres over the years. They range from Queen’s “We Will Rock You” to various Neptunes-produced songs, to “Cupid” by 112, to many others.
The kit weighs in at 571 samples, so I’m sure you producers out there can put these to great use.

Producers… come out to play… =D
Another week for a big sample kit, this one has more than 700 samples. Some of these samples are tagged with AKAI MPC2000XL, so we’re going with that for the title. For those who don’t know, the MPC (short for Music Production Center) and its various models are frequently used samplers/sequencers by producers, especially by the hip-hop producer community. It allows you to play the drum patterns and record them to give your drum patterns a less robotic feel.
While I was at a producer forum in the city a few years back that featured DJ Premier, Evil Dee of Da Beatminerz and DJ Quik, I heard both Premo and Dee (don’t remember if Quik mentioned anything) mentioned how the MPC was a crucial tool in their production processes when they were interviewed by the moderator. I don’t know if the MPC’s came with pre-loaded sounds, but perhaps that is where these sounds come from. A lot of quality drums here; they can be used for a variety of hip-hop styles.

Another Wednesday, another Production Vault Update!
This week, we have a nice drum kit mixed in with some acoustic drum sounds. I like using this kit because the sounds in these have a particular feel to them. The layering of the acoustic drums give it that extra zing. Also, I’ve got some piano hits in here. Some of these have vinyl already on them for that classic 90′s feel. If you’re into Premo, or Marley Marl, even Pete Rock possibly, you may like the piano sample hits in this particular kit.
