Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop
This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.

9 Ways to Diversify Your Mix
1. Experiment with unmatched reverbs
Don't try to match your reverbs so that all the instruments in the mix sound like they've been recorded in the same room. Play with using different, and even contradicting, reverbs on different instruments.
2. Experiment with melodic contrasts
Slap some subtle auto-tune on the backing vocals. This creates a nice contrast when you're recording a fairly plain singer, or perhaps a hard rock album, and the vocals get repetitive and need some melodic polish. Don't tell the band, most of them will have your head for this!
Or, on an overly melodic track, have the backing vocalists in the room minimize the number of notes they sing to give the lead melodies more of a solid foundation.
3. Dirty up your polished vocals
When you start layering up vocals and harmonies, the lead vocal can start to sound overly polished. In pop, this might be desirable, but sometimes it means you lose the grittier side of the human voice. Try sending some to a distortion plug-in and lower the send volume so it's just loud enough to give the main some grit and raw energy, but not quite detectable to the average listener with untrained ears.
4. Start somewhere crazy
Change the order that you usually follow when mixing instruments. It’s wise advice to begin with the bass and drums so as to give yourself some headroom, but once in a while tell the rules where to go and try using something crazy as your mix foundation.
It’s always possible that it won’t turn out sounding good anyway, but it’ll make you think about the elements of the song and new ways to showcase them in the process.
5. Don’t be constrained by genre-based techniques
Use recording and mixing techniques from a totally unrelated genre on an instrument and see if it fits. Differentiate from your direct competitors--other artists in the same genre as you.
It doesn’t even have to be a recording technique. Try musical techniques from other genres. On a heavy song, throw an acoustic guitar rhythm track in and mix it behind the distorted guitars.
6. Resist the urge to find the perfect middle ground
There’s too much “perfect middle ground” music out there. If the track sounds sparse, don't add more instrumentation--try and work with the space. If it sounds full and crammed, try cutting frequencies instead of cutting entire tracks completely out of the mix.
As always, don't let experimentation get in the way of a good mix--delete excess tracks if you need to.
7. Roll your own
Using synthesized drums? Try rolling your own instead of using your favorite patches. Need a saw for your industrial track? Fiddle with the knobs and get your own sound going.
Everyone else is using the popular patches of the day, so this is an easy way to differentiate your sound and you might find that your synth serves the song in a way no preset could.
8. Use new dogs for old tricks
Got an old method for creating a certain sound or effect? Toss your method out and find another way to go about it. Instead of automatically reaching for reverb to make vocals sound more natural and spacious, try a short and slappy delay.
9. It’s okay to clip once in a while
I don’t advocate being careless with your mix and letting things clip, but once in a while it’s alright to let something be if it doesn’t sound bad, or even sounds better, when the lights go red.
This doesn’t apply to your master fader, though, and it shouldn’t be a common occurrence in your session, but being relaxed about your mix to a certain extent can imbue a more relaxed, natural vibe on the recording, too.

STEP UP YOUR DRUM GAME
I know its winter break but imgoing to take you back to school! There are many ways to produce a drum track – programming, playing and loops can all be involved but however you do it, you can almost certainly do it better. Your rhythm tracks are vitally important, so it's always worth taking time out to think about how they can be improved. I have posted 6 ways to imporve your drums. Break out your notebooks and lets get to work!1. Be versatile
Learn the benefits of working with both loops and programmed parts, and don't make lazy decisions. It's all too easy to drag in a pattern and think, 'that'll do'; loops can add authenticity and a pleasing weight, but unless they provide precisely the combination of pattern and sounds you're after, consider combining them with your own hits.
2. Don't overdo the sub-bass
Beware of sub-bass in your kicks! Remember, a speaker is a physical instrument - while trying to spit out your flabby kick drum full of dominant sub-bass frequencies, your monitors are simultaneously trying to play your fizzy hi-hats and crunchy snare parts. The quality of the top end will suffer if the bass end is overloaded, so tread very carefully.
3. Be yourself
Most importantly, strive for your own sound. If you're simply trying to replicate the drum sounds of the rich and famous, you'll be nothing but disappointed. Don't dismiss loops that are potentially great just because they don't sound like Timbaland. Start the other way round by aiming to create a loop like nothing anyone's ever heard before.
4. Keep it real
If it's acoustic authenticity you're after, there are lots of considerations – it's not just about the timing of your hits. Programs like BFD2 are great as they let you construct 'real' bespoke kits, but if you're working with individual samples, good things can still be achieved. Remember that adding some artificial ambience to each drum will be crucial.
5. Ignore everyone
Dynamics processing is riddled with myths and potential traps for producers of drum parts. Artists constantly talk about how crucial EQ and compression are to their sonic arsenal, but does this mean treatment of individual hits, the composite loops, or the whole output signal? Or all three?! Again, rather than worrying about what everyone else is doing, experiment with your own settings to achieve unique results.
6. Know the time
The timing of the drum hits in your loops and programmed parts is crucial. Remember, real drummers aren't machines and don't play 100 percent in time. Similarly, no hip-hop groove is completely quantised. If you're working with loops, it's likely that your choices will be made in part by the 'feel' of a particular groove – make sure this matches the rest of your production.
Now I hope this helps. Now go threw the rest of my blog and get some free drums so you can get to work!

HAND BREAK 0.9.3
HANDBRAKE 0.9.3
HandBrake is a program designed to convert MPEG video (including DVD - Video) into an MPEG - 4 video file in .mp4 or .mkv containers.
As much as i know this is only for mac and have not tried it for pc.
I do know they mke hadbrake for pc but am un shure if this is the same version.
I am posting 0.9.3 even tho they just came out with an upgrade to 0.9.4 but for some reason the newer version does not work AT ALL!
Here is a video tutorial on how to use it i found on youtube.
TIP: Use the ipod setting cuz you can use it for damn near every situation you can think of.
