WE, AS HUMANS, ARE NOT PROGRAMMED TO DO ANYTHING SO WHAT TO DO?

image

A little story:

An editorial in a California regional newspaper reported a story about a man in California who built an ingenious machine in his garage. Everything high tech imagined he had acquired over the years was used to make this huge contraption perform complex operations.

So from the control panel, the operator watched with satisfaction as the lights blinked and dials turned as an indication that all was in proper working order. Technicians from all over rated the contraption a marvel of technology. However, there was just one minor flaw. The machine was not designed to do anything! It was developed by an absentminded gadgeteer who just got carried away with the wonders of the new machine age.

BLACK FOLKS AND THE WORD HATE, HATING ETC. THAT SHIIII AIN'T REAL

image

THIS IS THE BLACK DICK CLARK ON THE MICROPHONE AND THE MIC IS LIVE TODAY.

EVERYDAY I SEE FOLKS ON THESE SO-CALLED SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES SAYING THAT THEY ARE BEING HATED ON, REALLY?

WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU THAT SOMEONE IS ENVIOUS OF YOUR MOST LIKELY DYSFUNCTIONAL AND OFT TIME LIE-FILLED LIVES. OK, THAT’S HARSH BUT I AM ON SOME MALCOLM X ISH TODAY…….

TO HATE IN TODAY’S WORLD EQUATES TO BEING ENVIOUS. 

TO BE ENVIOUS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR OTHERS TO BE JEALOUS OF SUCH AS A BIG SCREEN TV ..NOW THAT’S SOMETHING TO BE ENVIOUS OF….LOL

OR BETTER YET BLACK WOMEN CAN BE ENVIOUS BECAUSE THIS OTHER BLACK WOMAN HAS A SIZE 48 BUTT AND YOU ONLY HAVE A 36…..LOL  (NOTE: I’LL TAKE THE 36 WOMAN MYSELF LOL)

SERIOUS DOE IF I THINK YOU’RE UGLY, STUPID, SLOW, LACKING DEPTH………………..

I MIGHT SAY THAT…ALBEIT IN THE JUDICIOUS MANNER, I STILL MIGHT HURT YOUR FEELINGS…………………………………

AND REALLY BLACK FOLKS THAT IS WHAT THIS SO CALLED ISSUE CALLED “”HATE”” IS….WHICH IS MANY OF US ARE CAUGHT UP IN OUR FEELINGS…

BLACK FOLKS ARE SEARCHING TOO HARD FOR A BUNCH OF YES MEN/WOMEN…..

NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT…….

I SAW ON MY TIMELINE WHERE SOMEONE WENT INTO A LONG RANT ABOUT FOLKS AND BLACK WOMEN SPECIFICALLY HATING ON OTHER BLACK WOMEN DUE TO THE COMMENTS THEY MADE ON A SERIES OF PICTURES OF BLACK BIKE WEEK………….HONESTLY, I’M NOT SURE WHAT THE HECK THEY EXPECTED???  WHEN YOU POST SALACIOUS & SHOCKING PICTURES WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT? A ROSE GARDEN?

IRONICALLY, ON THAT SAME RANT STATUS…..THOSE AGAINST THE SUPPOSED HATERS DID THE SAME THING THEY ACCUSED OTHERS OF DOING WHICH WAS HATING!!!!! SMH YES REVERSE HATING….THAT’S THE NEXT NEW THING…….SMH HA!

DUE TO THIS LACK OF DEPTH IN THIS SOCIETY FOLKS ACTUALLY THINK THAT WHAT THEY FEEL MATTERS TO EVERYONE ELSE AND IT DOESN’T. 

THIS IS THE INTERNET AND TO ACTUALLY CONTINUALLY SEE FOLKS IN GENERAL GET ANGRY BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS IS MIND BAFFLING. LIFE IS NOT A LOVE FEST AND FOR ALL THOSE WHOM THINK THAT IT’S JUST BLACK WOMEN WHO DON’T UPLIFT CHECK OUT WHITE WOMEN….THEY PUT OUT HITS ON EACH OTHER….LMAO BLACK MEN, WHITE MEN AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL DON’T DO POSITIVE THINGS MOST TIMES……

AND FRANKLY ON THAT STAT WHICH WAS ABOUT FOLKS PARTYING FOR A WEEK AT BLACK BIKE WEEK IT’S HARD FOR ME TO ALIGN THAT WE SHOULD BE MAKING EXPECTING MASSIVE CHANGE, POSITIVITY, & SOME BIG LIFE STATEMENT TO SUCH FRIVOLITY EXCEPT THAT THE WORD “”HATE”” IS IRRITATING. 

SERIOUSLY, THE BIG HOMIE IS TIRED OF THAT DAMN WORD “”HATE”“”

THIS WORD IS WASTED ON SO MANY FOLKS……………………….

SOMETIMES, I WISH AS A MUSICIAN/PRODUCER WE DIDN’T CONTINUE TO COME UP WITH THESE BS CATCHY SLANG WORDS BECAUSE FOLKS IN SOCIETY JUST TAKE IT TO THE N’TH DEGREE LEVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET ME STATE THIS ONE MORE TIME:

MOST FOLKS ARE ON THE NET MAKING COMMENTS: SOME GOOD, SOME BAD, OR INDIFFERENT.

ON THAT PAGE ABOUT BLACK BIKE WEEK I FEEL LIKE THIS IF THE FEMALES IN THE PICS HAD THE GUTS TO TAKE & POST THE PICS THEN THEY SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE GUTS TO TAKE THE CRITICISMS: GOOD, BAD, OR INDIFFERENT BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE PICS WERE OUTRAGEOUS & SIMPLY UNFLATTERING. OH THAT’S RIGHT I’M HATING BECAUSE I TOLD THE TRUTH. I DON’T CARE! KICK ROCKS WITH JUST YOUR SOCKS! LOL HA!

UNLIKE MOST I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS WHO GO DOWN TO SOUTH CAROLINA ONCE A YEAR TO ACT UP AND OUT OF CHARACTER AND TO BE OUTRAGEOUS THEN GO BACK THE NEXT WEEK TO THEIR CORPORATE POSITION. YEP, IT’S A FRONT BUT WHO CARES DO YOU BOO BUT DON’T EXPECT FOLKS TO BE YES MEN TO YOUR FOLLY! 

EITHER CASE NO ONE IS MAKING ANY MONEY NOR LOSING ANY SLEEP ON THIS AND FRANKLY NO ONE SHOULD. HOWEVER THIS WORD “”HATE”“” NOW THAT SH*T HAS TO BE RETIRED. 

CAN WE HAVE A BURIAL FOR IT SINCE IT’S A RAT THAT EATS AWAY AT FOLKS MINDS SO AS NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE TRUTH. HA!

THIS IS THE INTERNET BLACK FOLKS.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE PROGRESSIVE BLACK FOLKS ON THE NET HOWEVER THE NET WILL ONLY REFLECT THE ACTUAL SOCIETY AND MY SOCIETY IS NOT PROGRESSIVE GENERALLY SPEAKING………SO FOR FOLKS TO EXPECT IN CERTAIN ARENAS SUCH AS BIKE WEEK FOR THERE TO BE RESPECT IS IGNORANT  AND MAYBE THE KEY IS WE NEED TO BE MORE MINDFUL OF THE ARENAS WE ARE IN AND BE LESS IN OUR FEELINGS! HA!

IN EITHER CASE, I AM ABOUT TO WORK AND THEN GO OUT ..

ENJOY THE COMPANY OF SOME BEAUTIFUL WOMEN..WHERE IT’S ALL LOVE….LOL HA!

THE BLACK DICK CLARK HAS SPOKEN AT THE SCENE OF THE EMOTIONAL CRIME OF OVERLY SENSITIVE FEELINGS.

DBXXL CAN'T STAND WEAK MINDS....HOW CAN YOU?

#DBXXLCANTSTANDWEAKMINDS

I’M BACK ON THE BOARD AND I’M COMING AND HUMMING ATCHA!

The truth is the blame that many folks try to de-place should be placed squarely on each individuals shoulders.

We can’t do wrongs then play the victim.

We can’t talk about others while we are doing the same things or worse.

We just have to do better.

The Truth is an illusive experience to many Americans however I have found that truth is more illusive these days to lost African American minds in percentage that is wholly disappointing……..giving every excuse in the book for poor behavior and bad decision making like everything in the past is a bye for such mediocrity and bs behavior????? Nope!!!….

As I said on another timeline the other day….

AFRICAN AMERICANS TODAY JUST AREN’T THAT DEEP IN GENERAL! IT’S TIME TO MAKE THAT CHANGE! YOU READY? HA!

THE BLACK DICK CLARK IS SOOOOOO TIRED OF ALL THE MENDACITY, LAZINESS OF MIND AND SPIRIT.. WHEN WILL THE WARRIOR SPIRIT OF OLD, RISE UP IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF A PEOPLE? WELL, IF IT DON’T IN THE COLLECTIVE IT WILL IN THE MINORITY CAUSE I’M DOWN! HA!

MUSIC PRODUCTION TIP: FIND TOOLS TO MAKE VOCALS SHINE

image

TODAY I’LL REVIEW A PLUGIN THAT YOU CAN GET A TON OF BANG FOR THE BUCK. IT’S IZOTOPE’S NECTAR. IT’S MORE LIKE A MASTERING PROGRAM FOR VOCALS. WHETHER YOU WANT TO USE IT FOR MIXING OR TRACKING MODES IT SEEMS TO DELIVER ON ALL ENDS. JUST HAVE ENOUGH CPU POWER TO UTILIZE IT IN TRACKING MODE.  IT’S SO VERSATILE THAT YOU CAN TWEEK IT FOR SPECIFIC GENRES AND IT COMES WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF PRESETS FOR A BEGINNER WHO MAY BE UNFAMILIAR WITH SOME SETTINGS FOR CERTAIN GENRES THEY WORK IN. HA!

 THERE ARE 11 IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS:

■Pitch correction. This provides automatic correction and in some hosts, manual correction with graphic, per-note editing of pitch and correction amount. Among the 64-bit Windows programs I tested, the manual option was available in Pro Tools, Studio One Pro, and Ableton Live, but not Wavelab, Sonar, or Vegas; this is a limitation of the host, not Nectar. 

■Breath control. Identifies breath noise, then reduces it using compression. This has much latency due to significant look-ahead—consider bouncing or freezing a track once it”s set as desired. 

■Noise gate. Standard, but also includes RMS detection option, and can serve as an expander. 

■EQ. 5-bands, with seven response curves for each band. 

■Saturation. Tube, tape, retro, analog, retro, and warm, with variable-slope high-frequency rolloff. 

■Doubler. Actually, it”s a quadrupler, with a sophisticated design featuring adjustable pitch offset, delay, panning, gain, and octave up or down options for each “voice.” Two bands of shelving EQ can interact with each other for unusual responses. 

■Compressors. The two different compressors, optionally routable for parallel compression, model four different compressor types; one includes post-filtering. 

■ De-esser. Minimizes “ess” sounds effectively. 

■Limiter. Complements the compressors by placing a ceiling on the peak dynamic range. 

■Reverb. If you”re familiar with the mastering reverb in Ozone … this isn”t it! It”s flexible and sounds good, thanks to seven reverb algorithms, with seven variable parameters. 

■ Delay. This offers digital, tape, and analog algorithms with modulation, tempo sync, and separate high-cut/low-cut parameters. 

image

BOTTOM LINE: THIS PLUG-IN IS NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU KNOW A MINIMAL AMOUNT ABOUT USING PLUG-INS AND ALSO IF YOU HAVE HAD EXPERIENCING USING OTHER IZOTOPE PLUG-IN SUCH AS OZONE AND ALLOY HOWEVER IT HAS EXTREMELY VERSATILE FUNCTIONS FOR THE MORE EXPERIENCED MIX ENGINEER, MUSIC PRODUCER ETC. AT A REASONABLE COST. SO GET UP ON YOUR GANGSTA AND UPGRADE YOUR VOCALS IN THIS NEW YEAR. I KNOW I AM! HA!

WHY DO ARTIST PAY OVER $1000 FOR BEATS AND NOT KNOW IF ITS A HIT OR NOT????? SOMEBODY HELP ME UNDERSTAND

image

This question was posted on my timeline and below is my response. 

Would love to hear your points of view on the deal. All I know that the music industry hip hop game has become the crack game….due to so many folks attempting to succeed in the industry etc. they’ve lowered the quality and the pricing of music production. What has occurred is a music catalog full of wack, unfulfilling music. I know that this won’t be turned around anytime soon and to continue to survive even the most qualified music producers, such as I, will be required to participate in this crack game….however like all trends it will change just hoping it changes soon…ha!

HERE ARE THE POSTS TO THE RESPONSE:

DJ & MUSIC PRODUCING: ONE IN THE SAME IN TODAY'S MUSIC INDUSTRY

image

It’s been an amazing turn of events in the music industry in the past decade or so that the power of the DJ has risen to a point that I would say we control the music industry. Now some may think this is good and some may think it’s bad but without a doubt it is what it is so you can be angry regarding the new trend in the music game or you can step your game up, dominate and win. I decided long ago when I became a musician that I was willing to always step up my game even when it brought me into uncharted territory. For me it’s just a part of the overall challenge of being an artist, musician, and business person. 

image

So in re-tooling my career this year I reintroduced myself to DJ-ing. Yes, I have always dj’ed on some level but I was a lazy dj. I admit it so this year I decided to truly step up my game because when I saw the correlation between DJ-ing and music production in today’s music game, increasing my DJ craft was just a word. I will elaborate on this approach in my upcoming new Ebook regarding DJ-ing and Music Production. 

But until then check out this quick interview by DJ Dom P. He is truly on his grind. Check em’ out! HA!

Rejection: That bitter pill of poison! HA!

I just felt like writing tonight. 

I have come into contact with so many new people recently: some good, some think they’re good but aren‘t good, some know they ain’t shit, and some just don’t know shit…..HA! It seems like for whatever reason I have run into a long string of females who are either just coming out of relationships, are still hung up with exes, still in relationships pretending they aren’t, love negative & abusive treatment, have no self-esteem, love playing the victim role while they victimize others, lie about what they truly want, etc. etc. etc. 

I could say it was a bad string of luck if I didn’t really observe life the way I do, but the truth is: that most females today are not whole, empathetic, compassionate etc. & many if not, most of them today are like the long list of bad girls in the bible such as: Jezebel, Salome, Delilah, Maacah, Potiphar’s & Lot’s Wives. These Biblical females are str8 full of deceit, manipulation, disrespect for themselves and others, etc. from beginning to end and not much; if at all, different than all the tricks I seem to keep running into. Yep, I call them tricks because that’s all today’s dating seems to be filled with which are tricks, games and unfortunately a large amounts & doses of REJECTION.
