[TheGGBProduction]

[skrip1]

u have good stuff and cant make a goood ass beat dam sad

[UpppppGrade]

i aint gon front son im feelin this beat its hard

[dtck34]

nice job using a pre recorded drum loop noob

[WilliamShep]

send a shout out to the producer's of umbrella dumb ass!!! And don't forget Polow da Don w/ Love in this club!!! Maybe next time I pay a 1000 bucks for software, I will not take full advantage of it by deleting all 40 gigs of loops.

[dtck34]

its not hard to use a midi to create an original drum loop

[WilliamShep]

Nothing is original anymore. All rhythms are composed of whole note and their sub-divisions. If you think what you hear anywhere is original after more than 2000 years of musical evolution, then you are truly diluted. Sometimes it's essential to know when to use a loop in a project and when to create your own. That loop fit the project; therefore, I used it.

[Notgonnagetus89]

@WilliamShep this reply alone tells me you have the right perspective on music. Everything has been done, which is why mashup mixes are so much fun to make, you can unite so many hit songs in one because keys and scales can only take you so far before you realize you're stuck repeating the same thing in different variations. So accept it, like this gentleman has. I'm having some trouble getting audio from mi MIDI on Logic, Im new to it. I did everything in click n ports. No idea whats wrong.

[d0101d]

it's called sampling

[sirfigtube]

Cool mello beat ...I have watch several of your other postings as well. I finally decided to hit youTube (only 2 vids so far)... check me out ... I use Logic Pro 8, Reason, MPC, and even BeatMaker on the iPhone. ... Comment/Subscribe

[leejr1983]

bruh that junt is bumpin'. That shit damn near brought tears to my eyes, just thinkin bout how someone could rip that beat to shreds. Nice Work.

[SHAOLINSINZ]

to william i would of replied on your page but u dont accept comments so ill reply here.

Most people were brought to the u.s or go there cause its easier living than a next third world country and i dont know any uk people moving to America theres always the odd people who choose to for whatever reason but same with americans here, most english people i know cant stand the country, when most people move from the UK they want peacefulness the u.s aint dat.

[inktown4sho]

great job like it just how it is

[severe10]

nice work man but you can add a little fill-ins

[MisterTrep]

really relaxing beat. refreshing.

[ukhiphopfan]

Nice beat

[pomeroyjoshua]

Sweet work man!

[zimonslot]

why do u load up instruments in the mixer instead of the tracks?

[WilliamShep]

b/c not everything is visible in the tracks. I like having all my routing options available in the case i would prefer the audio be sent else where in my project.

[matao333]

nice nice wich logics this check out my beats i use logic pro 8 let me no what u think

[witherses]

I'ma go ahead and tell you what I think: I loved it. I'm bout go go head and say it again : I loved it.

[agthang]

one of your better ones..

[PrzybyszRap]

beautiful

[RichieEastside]

nice work :)

[eazy187]

fuck logic

[SHAOLINSINZ]

are you nuts, logics one of the best if not the best music production program out there, any serious producer knows logics to much.

[WilliamShep]

I like pro-tools better,although I use both.

[SHAOLINSINZ]

yeah protools is decent aswell but you need the M-box to run it. The full package is quite alot aswell with the proper hardware and soundcard which is really the only reason i havnt got it.

Reason i like logic is because macs are real stable and logics just got so much to it such a in depth program ive been using it years and still dont understand everything it can do. But i use reason aswell the synths and modules on that program are alot.

[WilliamShep]

just check the rest of the vids. I got 2 that i mite upload sometime soon where im using logic.

[xDrkest2Unearthx]

this is sick nice job

[DJDYBER]

Str8 Wack...LOL

[samstein1000]

nice work

[QsaanGrim]

are you using the fantom as a midi in this vid?

[WilliamShep]

no...All i had was fl studio. the beat was done 2 yrs ago. And i actually say i did it all by hand (mouse)

[mcturk17]

yo do logic got good sounds?

[BobbieGarcia]

so u have a mac

[jhooks3000]

damn this is a smooth track man!

[Lucaszzs]

good job!

[fingflava]

great

[etfometit]

sick, nice job

[josh202090]

sounds pretty damn good bro.

[bvanklein]

Excellent work sir. I look forward to hearing the bridge. At this point I am working in Garage band, which I find has many short comings. Logic looks like it will be a good alternative. I like the fact that it gives you the score. Very cool and keep the videos coming.

[paech2]

hi there......do your self a favor and just switch to Logic studio 8 all together if your really serious about making music! If you like the score window...you wont belive all the other things it can do!!!skys the limit! Good luck

[otayyo]

nice

[millz008]

if you wanted to use the sounds on the fantom but sequence them on the computer how to you do it? through midi or just the main outs on the fantom?

[WilliamShep]

midi to sequence the midi data

main outs to sequence audio.

[ITLMOVEMENT]

Yo bruh you really need to use those sounds in that fantom. I got logic pro but I would love to use that fantom too. By the way you cant use vst's with logic, you have to use Audio Units (AU)

[WilliamShep]

yea i know but i wanted to show off logic and its sounds... my next vid will prolly be a mix between audio and computer sounds. i will be using sonar tho b/c i dont have my mac at school...be on the look-out 4 it!!!

[LALLZ]

It's refreshing to see one of these demos that hasn't got the guy biggin himself up on it constantly saying how good he is, swearing all the way through and repeating You know wa am sayin' and shit etc etc over and over

Sounded nice and you seem the type of guy who's quite genuine and that goes a very long way.

[Aguirre8]

Nice beat

[angrachriss]

logic studio 8 its better than pro tools???

[tahitinice0529]

the beats fire!!

[Drelamarre]

how is the fantom with logic, im buying a fantom rack next week.

[WilliamShep]

i just record audio into logic...if u have logic pro u can set it up as if it were a soft synth.

[Drelamarre]

appreciate that fam.

[sinr1]

PROPS!

[homebwioi]

wich vst do you use are they of logic self or another vst plugins

[WilliamShep]

i use the ones from logic itself...i dont kno that many vsts that work with logic.

[sebastianlarsen]

nice . !

[diamondmadame]

I LOVE THIS BEAT!!!! Can I have it pleeeeease!!! As soon as I heard it, feelings started bubbling up in my stomach and words were pouring out like water. I am a hip hop/r&b/soul singer in Florida, and I know you made that beat for me. Nobody can rock it like I can. Get at me.

[mmmsurebaby]

i've watched a few of your videos, quality stuff! keep it up, peace.

[WilliamShep]

Thanks!!!

[JROTCdrummer]

deshawnpenrose i have a macbookpro it is the best. By the way is that logic Pro if so how is it

[WilliamShep]

naw its not logic pro; its logic express...i have to wait until school starts to get pro (i can then get it 50% off)!

[Dottin]

Like to spit some Emotional rhymes over this!

[Dottin]

Crisp beat man!

[sleeptrain]

clean

[karlbrightman]

Nice, keep it up, logic is such a powerful tool.

[deshawnpenrose]

hot video what kind of mac you got......i'm thinking about getting a macbook pro

[WilliamShep]

i have a g4 and g5 and im about to get a macbook pro.

Mac are the greatest!!!
