Hello Fellow Producers,

This is just going to be a quick tip for a great way to get the most out of your sound kits when making beats and producing tracks.  Most sound kits come in a format where the sounds are put in folders by song or song packs I like to call them.  Meaning they put all of the elements to one beat in a folder. You will normally find some sort of drums, strings, synth, piano, or pad etc. etc. Well that can work OK but at the same time another producer could buy that kit and produce the exact same beat, and also if you want to ad those new sounds to current beats you are working on you have to hop from folder to folder to find the right bass , or the right synth.

THE SOLUTION

Once you download the kit make folders and name them by instrument IE: Bass Folder, Drums Folder, Synth Folder etc. Then take a couple hours and place the correlating sound from each “song pack” into the sound based folders. This makes way easier to find that perfect bass loop for a track your working on, or if you need a tight drum roll you can just go to the drumroll folder and pick one of the many.  As you download and buy more sound kits if you keep doing this, before you know it you will never get stuck on a beat again. This makes it 10 times easier and quicker to find the right sound.  Next post i will go over how i use this method in Reason/Record and also how to make templates for quick and easy beat making.

Thanks for Reading,

Aktion

Calling all hip hop producers that love using the all so powerful .REX file.  AKT Aktion is releasing a crazy hip hop .REX kit strictly for hip hop drum and bass loops.  The dopest thing about this kit for hip hop production and hip hop producers is that not only is their hundreds of dope .rex drum loops and rex bass loops there are also folders for each sound separated as in percussion .rex loops folder,  snare .rex loops folder, kick .rex loops folder ETC.. This makes it so there literally millions of possible drum pattern combos that you can make.  Not only are the sounds crispy and industry ready this is probably the quickest way you could ever make dope drum tracks and also variations for change up areas in a song. We will say no more.  It will be here soon, Be Ready cause it is GAME OVER…

AKT Aktion is working on a new single for  D-Roc of The Ying-Yang Twins which will drop in the next couple of months.  The great thing about the track is Aktion squeezed some Phoenix, AZ artist’s on the joint which should help propel the Southwest some.  The artist’s also on the track are K-Dolla (Atlanta) , MAV (PHX) and The up and comer Kid Cardinal (PHX).  The sons is slated to receive radio play in 5 states AZ and Georgia included. Be on the look out for “The Boogie“…

AKTHIPHOP is transforming as of today.  I have decided to make this a hip hop site for everyone. So, we will be starting up the following sections of the site over the next few weeks.
