DOPE BEATS
A good producer makes beats like a ritual…
“…you should see my production studio, actually I may just give a video tour; anyway, my workspace is cluttered with art and color.”
…sometimes the best work area reflects your artist,
“I’ve seen every type of studio, amateur and professional. Your typical amateur studio would include some cheap-o Guitar Center monitors, a wonky condenser that cost $89.99, an MBox, and Pro Tools LE. Beats will sound clean and vocals get tracked fairly decent, but a dedicated studio doesn’t look like that…”
Eric Miller has been producing and recording for over 8 years; finding himself in Hip Hop didn’t seem like such a big stretch for him…
“…I mean I started out in Punk Rock back in ’03. I was signed to a label before I was 18 and started touring/recording/producing instantly, making my own product, representing it, and making my own money… I hand printed T-Shirts, shook everyones hands, and partied a little too much…hahah”
Eric explains the similarities…
“… Hip Hop and Punk Rock have the same feel, the same energy. The scene feels like a community and most of the artist involved are bad kids who can’t help it, turning to art for the solution. The 5 elements exist in Punk Rock too…”
“In ’04 I was rapping and I still do today. I have made beats then, but in ’09 I started studying the true roots of Hip Hop…”
Collectively throughout his years in the industry, Eric has collected vintage recording gear; amassing a collection that audiophiles would die for…
“…my gear list is ridiculous and I have a Terabyte of Production Material. My vinyl is spread throughout my house and I have sooo many archived beats… As time passed and I moved around, I know have a dedicated space for my work.”
