Check out the video and leave comments if you have any other questions. Stay tuned for the Kanye - Love Lockdown making of coming hopefully end of the week, peace..

Sick! Why don’t you give me the Motif since ya’ll aint sing it anymore :P
damn Pollow !!! the HERO sound is in it too !!
1.- The beat at the beginning (that u guys made) sounds great…
2.-Nice setup, what are those things above the Digidesign 002 rack ?
3.- if you dont need the motif anymore, you can send it to me if you want :D
cuz i juststarted to build my home studio (have a Fame KC49 MIDI Controller, QuadCore PC, And a audio interface for now..)
The motif would be great :P
above the digi is Triton rack, Fantom rack and a MoPhatt rack. We used to use them back in the day, they’re not even plugged in now. And motif aint for sale lol.
the end is so sad :D !!!
but damn, like safe said, its crazy the neko has the whole HERO beat in it :D :D If I would buy this keyboard I would be on #1 :D :D :D just hitting 2 or 3 keys :D
dat beat you were playin at the beginning sounds sick! is it already out or are you guys still working on it?
still working on it
You guys deserve all the success y’all attain. Y’all are some of the hardest working guys i’ve ever seen.
hi guys,
just curious, but did you buy the Neko or is it Sponserd by Openlabs ?
I hope to hear more of your work , like your style.
greetz,
Your biggest fan
Producing on Sonar 7, did you guys see the sonar 8 and the V700 interface/controller? and fantom VS synth with the I/O.? Anyways, the Neko is great but as control goes the Gen3 has more to offer hands on esp wit the V4 update.
M&P you guys know bout KVRaudio for plug’ins?
nah havent seen sonar 8, its out already? didn’t even know, will check it out. Never heard of V700 controller and no dont know KVRaudio plugins although they do sound familiar, will check it out, thanks!
yo what kind of mic is that? and a quick question.
1. is there a dif between havin the mic upside down vs right side up?
2. what do u think about recording outside a booth vs. inside one. check the vid response to see where my mic is in the vid.
its a Neumann TLM 103, not sure if there is a different upside or down, as long as its in front and not sideways or something. Booth is probably better as far as acoustics, but alot of stuff we’ve done lately was cut in our room and is making a major album, its really all in the mixing. Just use good headphones while recording so there is no bleeding.
OMG guys you ROCK
But wow… you actually gave away the secret device ALL the pros have been making HEETZ with??? … I guess the cat is out of the bag now…
Now, everyone can just make a heet, press a button, and boom! it’s sent to a “lable”.

Hi Mysto,
I’m doing a mix cd at the moment. Your remix of Love lockdown is at the beginning of the mix.
However, after listening to the whole mix again, it seems that love lockdown lacks a bit of high end?
At first, i thought it was because of a low quality version that i downloaded but then i downloaded from your website. It’s still the same.
D’yu have another version with more high end?
Thanks

Nice vid. I wish I had a Neko Timbaland Edition, too. But it’s a too expensive for a student…lol.
You make some great Songs. Keep doin’ that.
And would be cool if you check out my music, too. And tell me what you think.^^

Hey any know how on ADAT recording? I haven’t purchase workstation yet, because I really like to record multiple channels at one time but suddenly I was put on ADAT(records 8 tracks simultaneously), I’ve seen it on every workstation from the motif, M3, Fantom but it seems people are styll recording 1 track at a time. LONG STORY SHORT, have you recorded the motif on ADAT cable? and OH YEA… Dimension Pro, Rapture…It would be total EASE to have multiple outputs on those synths instead of 4 elements right? I’m a sonar & cubase user ex-FL Studio(NO hands on automation, but great Midi Editor(piano roll,write chords,scales and pitch bend lfo) Sequencer on the sonar got my attention, DAMN I wrote ALOT.. but what ur fav sequencers or features u like on Sonar?
dunno about ADAT recording, i think thats old school. We used the motif as a midi controller for software vsts on the pc, so no cable. too many features to name in sonar that we like, overall though is the workflow and comfortability. Waiting for Protools to get there one day maybe!. Cant wait to try out Sonar 8 though, looks pretty good.
Quick question
dd u guys pay fo the neko or wer u sponsored??
Yo where can I get that beet maker sun!!!???!!!
The Legal Dope man!
google it man!!! hehehe, here i’ll help: http://www.futureproducers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169971
do i see a camera on your roof?? haha

lol nah, just a big ass dog
You guys are fuckinggg amazing ive been
watching and listening to ur shit for
days i love ur beats guys, think u can make
a nice electro beat on special request
for an electro dancer like myself :P!
im making a vid and i need some new
tunes to put in!
you guys still in school? how do you manage all of the recording biz stuff and school at the same time?
We were in school, but past 2 semesters we’re off cause we’re working extra hard. But we were still doing 4-5days of work a week with school, just had school early from like 9-2pm, then work till 8-9pm, it gets hard but not impossible.
Hey, what kind of audio interface do you guys use. Thanks.
I just discovered you guys at work and im goin bananas!!!!
Would you be able to put that writing beat back up to download? I know that was last year but I just saw that clip today haha. Keep up the good work, you got a new fan!!!!
Hey guys…
…I am from switzerland and I am a big fan of you guys and today i discovered that my little daughter (2 years old) likes your remix of britney spears too…she started to dance!!!…lovely…later on the radio they played “Shine on” of R.I.O.!…for me one of the best “Gute-Laune-Lied” (means: good-mood-song) ever…I think this would be a perfect song to remix!!!…would be very cool…

Do you mind if I ask you a question?
Since I just found you guys yesterday Im curious on some things;
How did you get discovered? Obviously you guys are really talented and should get all the success that has come to you, but alot of talented people dont make it. Did it start out like you guys would post a video on youtube showing how you made a beat and someone like jive heard it? Or did you just send your work out to whoever would hear it?
Thanks for your time, keep up the good work

Oh by the way, when you go on the writers page and click “download” it says “there is nothing on this page”.
Is the track somwhere else? I love that track and I think I could really do some good things with it.

After the setup, and Mysto began making the amazing intro beat. I was wondering if you two could make a trance spinoff with that intro?
ey ! =)
sorry if I write some bad english now , but i’m just a little kid from norway , haha !
just have to say that you two are amazing !
I look at you videos every day almost and after that I just have to play my keyboard .
I like the one you prodused for R.Kelly the best , just fire fire !
have bought me a Motif XS 8 myself !
but some questions :
1. how much does the Neko cost ?
2. how long have you two been producing and played piano ?
3. do you use just the sounds in the Motif when you use that ?
hope you can answer me !:)
and one more thing , why don’t you ask some famous Hip Hoppers or RnB singers to spit on something , you have earned it !!
peace
im just wondering how you guys feel about sonar as your sequencer now..
i just recently made the decision to go with sonar 8. i was gonna grab the full cubase but the whl dongle idea swayed me…
i just want to know how u guys like working with sonar vs. the motif sequencer. and have u guys made use of the cloning feature yet on the neko?????
ohh word my bad yo… i just saw another video where u were using the motif so i gues i just assumed u were using its sequencer.
As for sonar 8 …. it should be here soon still. i have been rockin cubase for a minute. the LE version and cracked versions…. i refuse to use bootleggs anymore (too many problems) i started to look at geeting the full cubase 4 but decided against it after looking into sonar.
and yeah i didnt know about that website either i’mma check it out just now still good looks!
hey!
sorry for my bad english, im a producer from israel.
i tried to get the beetmaker vst for so long! do you know where can i get it? or maybe you can send it to me?
it’s really important to me
Damn y’all is crazy man!
Luv yer sound & style!!
Holla at me when u want some dope lyrics, I the man for that aight! ;)
PEACE
Hey guys , really enjoy your stuff. I noticed you guys have some multiple racks apart from the digi002 and was wondering what type they were and if you guys use them. Thanks
