<p>I love listening to soft rock, alternative rock and crazy electroo. I realy love the production on alternative rock though. I try to incopoprate all these elements into my production, what about all you producers out there?</p>

<p>Trip Hop</p>
<p>Classical&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>60's/70's Soul</p>
<p>EVERYTHING lol!</p>
<p>You can hear a little bit of everything in my production...</p>

<p>I listen to everything...traditional jazz (the influence of the Cosby Show), classic rock (Led Zep, Jimi Hendrix, Roy Buchanan, The Who), classic soul (J.B...especially those blaxploitation film sndtrks), neo-soul (Erykah, Dwele, Musiq), 80's MTV pop (Tears For Fears, Men At Work).....</p>

Franklin, Rev. James Cleveland, Donald Lawrence)...some counrty....some classical...some bluegrass...some contemporary jazz....old school bass music (2 Live Crew, Gigolo Tony, Luke, Clay D, Magic Mike...I'm from South Florida!)....I just like good music in any form....</p>
<p>Not certain what is heard in my production most of the time.....lol.....but wait until I figure out how to merge bluegrass and hip hop!....haha (in my best Jada impersonation)</p>

<p>jazz rock pop rock INDIAN MUSIC ANIME ASIAN POP NEO SOUL WHOLE LOT OF SPACED OUT STUFF</p>

<p>thats ill new nigga started the ill thread</p>

<p>thats great to hear all you guys love a wide range of music. When i was a little kid i just used to listen to just one type of genre, but once i became a beatmaker or producer it really opens up your world to other genres....... Blue grass and hip hop sounds interesting!.....im trying to mix electrooo/ alternative rock with slow rnb.....gettn&nbsp; some wierd spaced out tracks!</p>

<p>old music is very important for a full time producer to understand.. its where it all started, go back in time as much as u can, and study everything how it changed classical music's elements are so interesting once you study it enough, the ones who say old music is "boring" or straight up "old" cant expand their style of music as much as the people who listen to all that. whether you asmple or not, respecting the roots can bring you golden knowledge, and make you a better producer and person in general.</p>

<p>jim bond knows a lot about old school music.. im part of his sample of the month club and the beabetterproducer blog, and its amazing to hear what he's posted there. i've sampled a shit load of jim bond's recomended tracks and everyone should check that out</p>

<p>I actually chopped up a Nora Jones track which is somewhat bluegrass/jazzy...tried to do a couple tracks with the chops a while back on the Triton....they def need some work.....</p>

<p>i recently chopped these two tracks by Nelson Ned, Jim Bond's recomended BEST ARTIST TO SAMPLE EVER.. and i gotta agree with what he said, man.. came out hard..</p>

<p>CLASSICAL &amp; BLUES &nbsp;</p>
