what happens when it's time to put on a show?

how ignorant are u? your favorite rapper uses punchin's. every artist uses punch in's on a song released to the world at one point or another. they're required for a professional sound, and then they practice doing live...
WHY DO U THINK THERE IS SUCH THING AS A HYPE MAN? why do rappers have a member of their group on the stage rapping the last part of the rhyme verse in concerts? it's because they punched in and need space to fit the beginning of their verse. *sigh*

according to ur logic..50 cent is a pussy for punching in, so is eminem...and it's funny because I think u should have read what I wrote all the way through...

it's kind of funny that the guy saying punchin's is for pussies is the same guy who said to overlay by panning an exact copy to the left and one to the right...*sigh*

I just don't get how u can call a commonly used tool in the music industry for YEARS for pussies. especially when you don't even know shit about recording :zipped:

don't believe me??? check out the proof!

wow, someone got tight on that one. lmfao

i personally believe that punching in is stupid. you should learn to write your verse within your abilities. if you can't keep your breath, do some breathing exercises. and i said take the overlays, duplicate it, slightly offset, then pen, give it a try, i bet you'll be surprised. and FYI, i do know a thing or two about recording, i've been doing it for 7 years. no professional education, just learned by tweaking and tips from people here and there.

if you're looking for me to reply and call you names, you came to the wrong person's door.
