[dame12712]

[YungAve18]

Hey man i like your videos i just started making beats and i use fruity loops 9 i got a few videos up can you listen to them and maybe give me a little advice i would appreciate it just search yungave18 and my vids will pop up hope you get this comment

[phenomena17]

that is so good beat!!! soulful

[Madjef]

that was the korg drum padkontrol, sounds like you putting in some work. I love my wurlie.

[44danoc]

Peace Madjef, what's the name of that white drum machine you where making the drum on? I seen it one other time but don't know the name. I wish I could buy me a Wurlie that old that is a beautiful piano. I have the MPK 88 I just play all day on that baby. Bechstein, Bosendofer and Yam C7 all day.

[rider5ify]

wooow nice set up

[Madjef]

@rider5ify thanks, long since changed it though, simplified some things, check out my latest videos to see what i'm talking bout. peace.

[Anuthamillproduction]

What's up Jeff, I know you been in the business for awhile now and I value your time and knowledge so I'll keep this short . I'm just about finish building my home studio (vocals & voice over only for now), I just need a couple more pieces. First monitors & Second a mixer: what would you recommend or should I say what has worked for you? Any help from you would be great thanks.

[Madjef]

@Anuthamillproduction , well. I've used lots of different setups over the years, but lately i prefer a simple home

setup with the cleanest signal path. so i use the Metric Halo audio interfaces with MIO Monitor Control, which basically eliminates the need for a mixer, its all software. Outs 1&2 feed a Hafler power amp which feeds Yamaha NS10s. Output 3 feeds a Subwoofer. Eq/crossover for sub is handled in software. all midi is internal, USB controllers. I work external analog in as needed

[solidrecording2012]

man i wish i could get you to rearrange my studio to best way it could be set up..

your stuff is in the right place

[Madjef]

@solidrecording2012 , you know what, I think i have OCD undiagnosed because, I think long and hard about how I position my studio so that I don't have to even THINK about it when I'm trying to be creative.

[ynayin]

The beat is lethal , but my rap skills is intergral/

Lets conspire to acquire all we need to/

its crazy yo , i got crazy flow ,let me leak thru/

if you believe too , we can make more hits that the beatles/..........

OK, Let me stop ! No one should jack this lyrics!!!!!!!!!!! Get at me , i like all the beats

[rider5ify]

@ynayin u shouldnt put ur lyrics up here cuz sumbody can take them n use them in a song on album and if u dont have dem copyrighted den ur screwed

[Madjef]

@rider5ify this is true, but, if the idea is dope enough, it might be hot enough to get you put on.

I'm just saying.

[rider5ify]

@Madjef yea i hear u

[Madjef]

@ynayin nice work man, I could hear your voice, I was bobbing my head wit U. peace.

[ynayin]

[330Lawson]

MarkVictor5, thanks man. I love your vids, good work.

[raiminsh]

Man ! what a studio ! where did yo get so much money? :D

Ok, in my house ther is only a computer and electric usb piano, and i love beatmaking too!

All i need is an MPC and then i will make some hot ass beats :D

[Musavi1]

he just using hes money more useful than you and working harder than you, here, there you got it.

[CrazyManer]

sure, the reason why are you making crappy beats is that you dont have an MPC !!! omg

[Madjef]

raiminsh, thanks for the props.  I have made some money making music. if you have computers, piano, get some vst drum machines, don't let anything stop you. when i only had a guitar, i played only guitar. later i added more gear. get to work :)

madjef

[Madjef]

raiminsh, I worked really hard, still do. use what you got, get started now.

[artapuz]

From all video crap i`ve seen, this one is pretty good!

 +

Keep it up, man.

[aminhalloun]

nice studio man i loved it..and verry helpfull video, thanks for youre time.

[Madjef]

aminhalloun, thanks for the compliment. i do have a passion for setting up studios. Glad I could be of help. Peace

madjef

[NRL5005]

Would it be better to learn how to play piano to create RnB music? Like when you were playing your "wurli" during the video?

[Madjef]

NRL5005, yes it would help, listen to a lot of different styles, jam along with things you hear etc, you'll be glad you did.

[deezgeez]

nice setup

[Madjef]

deezgeez, thanks man. my setup is always changing.

[cracktraxx]

I want to be a producer but i never knew how to play the keyboard. is knowing how to play the keyboard important?

[MNBeats]

try producing crunk. you only have to play like 3 notes haha

[cracktraxx]

lol ha naw i dont fuck wit crunk, im more of a east coast type. And aye you from Minnesota?

[mcturk17]

if u really wanna make beats. then buy u a cheap casio or something wit midi imputs and buy u a fl studio od get it form the net. and practice, playin the keys is important but most people do it by ear.

[DGBeatProduction]

Wow man the beat is very nice ! really like the drums you used man!

Keep it commin' !Peace

[futurebeatsinc]

That's it Madjef. This is how its done bro. Keep up the good work.

All you viewers make sure you pay attention!! This is how producing is done!!!

[Madjef]

LPTraxVision, i do what I can, it wasnt always easy but i try to encourage people to never give up the dream.

madjef

[WestSideCoolidge]

Ay man you got your music down. Im trying to be a producer too. I got the cheapest programs and no real Drumkits. Any tips?

[mcturk17]

damn yo

are u a supa producer or something

cuz all that money cant be bought from a 9 to 5 job

[Madjef]

mcturk17, i've done some things. google madjef. I don't call my self supa anything. but i do what i love. life is to short to settle for a 9 to 5. You gotta be willing to take the chance that you will succeed.

[mcturk17]

true that

i wasnt tryin to diss u or nothing but u gotta full studio. u kno what u doin to.

[kil0z]

Well said! Thats what im doing to.

Or at least trying to.

I gotta tell you man this beat right here realy grows on me the melody is stuck in my head, its realy emotianal. i love it!

[hrinh0]

for who did you already produce beats for?

which rappers/singers? would like to know

[thugnificantesco]

great

[Madjef]

thugnificantesco, glad you like it.

[monkeyfACE6911123]

madjef

[jojolemonkey]

song doesn't grow on you, it just takes you by storm. Then net really advanced music, we are really used to it right now but before that I couldn't satisfy my ears with the music they played on the radio or sold in record stores. P.S. Very honorable that you are taking the time to show the process, I can't play an instrument and once in a while I get a great beat in my head and I record it to audio, but you inspire me to learn more about the "making" of music Thanx, Andrew

[Madjef]

jojolemonkey, i appreciate the way you express yourself.

good luck with all your endeavors

madjef

[jojolemonkey]

This beat is worthy of a single, right now I also like the beat for Soulja Boy, kiss me through the phone. I remember in 93' the song by paperboy "ditty" was so ahead of its time as far as beats go you could release that song as is today and it would become a hit, but back then Dr Dre's "let me ride" took the grammy for best rap solo performance, a song that is will not become a classic....ever ;-) So good songs do not make it to the top of the charts, and they are very rare too, because a good

[trmuj]

Really like your studio man, and the mix on the end is sick. Keep it real mate.

[DewilProduction]

What is that for a music programm?

See you later,peace!

[Madjef]

CafeDelMarDeluxe, what up man, in response to your question, i sell sample cd's, go to my website you can find it at madjef . com.

[CafeDelMarDeluxe]

ok, i speak english for you,i find the beat is not good successful.

That is my argument.

You are beat producer or make beat as hobby?

Sorry for my english knowledge

[Madjef]

CafeDelMarDeluxe, ok, that's cool. I agree, its far from the dopest beat i ever made, but its not intended to be. its an exercise in creativity, thats all it is. I work as a producer, this typing stuff is the hobby. :)

Be well my dude.

madjef

[CafeDelMarDeluxe]

Meine Meinung die ich vertrete und weiß garnicht warum du da ein Land mit einbeziehen tust,solltest keine Videos reinstellen,wenn du kritik nicht abkannst.

have a nice day

[Madjef]

CafeDelMarDeluxe, whatever dude, no disrespect to your country intended, "I jus kiiiddddinnnggg" so feel free to share your opinions in english so everybody can understand what you have to say.

he sollten Sie einen schönen Tag auch haben

[CafeDelMarDeluxe]

ja man du bist so cool,hast soviel an Equipment,nur der Beat ist schrott...

Naja stand wohl das angeben im vordergrund....

CafeDelMarDeluxe, yo, I thought scrap Iron in your country was like gold or something. Being cool is the easy part.

That was some real ass shit man. I want to thank you for posting this first off, inspires me as someone who is really just entering this field. I want to get better even more now. What was your musical background growing up? What launched you into this world of music?

[Madjef]

StuGoo13, do what you gotta do man. my musical background is simple, since i was 8 years old I havent wanted to do any other thing but make records and learn all i can about music. I got my start in NYC in the 80s, took it to another level with Jam and Lewis' Flyte Tyme Productions, been independent since 2000. Peace
