There's always a way to solve a problem in music. It's easier for us now because we can have access to stems in Tracklib and there's websites that are getting better at separating track stems. But back in the day, you really had to be creative to achieve the sound you were looking for.

​@@BackToTheBoomBap 🎹 And you can literally see what you're doing now! Where all of the mistakes are in all of the Daws. People take for granted how the producers in the 80s, 90s, and probably early, early 2000s, had to perform some surgery just to fill in gaps on the samples where time stretching didn't work well enough. Or, just samples in general that were never meant to loop or sound right and just making them sound good. 🎹 And having to really train your ears to identify the proper key when syncing all elements of the instrumentation 🎹People need to talk more about Q-Tip. He doesn't get enough credit for being one of the best producers ever. He literally constructed 3 of the best sample-produced albums of all time, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, The Low End Theory & Midnight Marauders. With The Low End Theory literally being a toss-up with the Chronic for being the best-produced album sonically & creatively of all time. 🎹 Those Q-Tip-produced Albums were and are masterpieces. And this was before Dilla even came in the picture

@@kiambupowell2700 Thanks for this! I was just thinking about this when I watched Premier's new video yesterday. We have more than what producers had back in the day but they were able to do make classics even with having to hook up all those machines and plugging up sync boxes and stuff. But today we take the technology for granted. Our hard drives, technology and processing power is a dream for sample based producers but we don't take advantage of it like we should. And as far as Q-Tip goes, I marvel at what he was able to do because the samples in those Tribe songs came from everywhere but it never sounded busy or out of key. And Tip's juxtaposition of jazzy samples with neck snapping snares thumping kicks and deep basslines is art in and of itself.
