The BeatTips Manual goes Digital


The much loved BeatTips Manual is now available as digital download.

The BeatTips Manual has been long regarded as the beat making Bible by many in the hip hop and beat making community.  Written by accomplished beat maker, MC and beattips.com founder Amir 'Sa'id' Said, the 400 page book covers five categories in great detail: history, instruction, music theory, business and interviews with hip hop legends including DJ Premier, DJ Toomp, Buckwild, 9th Wonder and Marly Marl.
The BeatTips Manual earns its stripes as a legitimate textbook, accessible to students at college and students of the game alike. (hiphopisread.com)

I'm a big fan of beattips.com and I highly recommend anyone who hasn't checked out his site - or is in doubt as to whether or not to cop the digital download - to see for yourself just how informative and well written Sa'id's work is.  Alternatively, checkout this review by another The New Beat Maker favourite, saintjoe.

The poignant 'Milk', from Sa'id's excellent 'Soul Review' album

With this digital release The BeatTips Manual is set to further solidify its position as the go-to book on beat making, both as an instructional resource and as a cultural document for the beat making rookie and veteran producer alike.

By mangling a diverse and extensive - and I do mean extensive - collection of Spitfire's recordings through numerous effects and scripting, 'EARTH' turns a set of sounds that were once flawlessly lifelike into an other-worldly sonic palate.  These sounds are sure to find many a welcome home in the more uncompromising...

saintjoe / JK Swopes Interview: The People's Champ

It may be a clich é to say, but saintjoe AKA JK Swopes really is 'The People's Champ'.  He's the man behind three hugely popular websites: SoundsAndGear , MaschineTutorials (along with Knock Squared) and BoomAndBap .  Each site caters to a different music production need: software/hardware news and reviews with a side-salad of hints and tips, original instructional resources specific to Maschine, and high quality drum sample packs.  Each new project strengthens saintjoe's position as a leading figure in music production education and resources. But, you may be asking, how does this make him 'The People's Champ'? Well, his sites are only one part of the equation.  saintjoe has a long established reputation for being arguably the most helpful, enthusiastic and nicest person in a community that prides itself on educating, working with and helping others.  The New Beat Maker was lucky enough to catch up with saintjoe shortly after he came back ...
