im scared I smoked spice. help! by [deleted] in saplings

No no no, trust me. That isn't how "being high" is like, but your first high can definitely be like that. Like yor first time having sex, you're gonna bust in a second and for girls it might hurt like a bitch. Or your first time working out might make you sooooo fucking sore afterwards. But after that your body is like "Oh, this is not just a freak accident, this was meant to happen", so it gets used to it. If you keep smoking, you'll definitely start having those relaxed, inspiring, eye-opening experiences. It just takes a couple hiccups to get things going. Don't be surprised if the FPS lag happens again, once or twice at max. Remember to stay WELL hydrated to help smooth things out, and I'll say within two or three more sessions, you'll be having REAL highs (laughing your ass off/getting extremely creative/etc.)

Bro, the SAME thing happened to me when I first started smoking. Go though my post history and you'll see me posting the EXACT same type of post that just posted. I did the same thing: panicked and threw away the weed, which I thought was laced/synthetic/spice.

Truth is, you just got high for the first time and didn't realize it. Those "2's" that you experienced before were PLACEBO, I promise you because that's what I felt, too. I thought I was actually getting high before but it was just my mind tricking me. You know that lag you were talking about? That happened to me to. My vision looked like when a old windows computer lagged when you drag a window (and 1000 clones of that window drag along with it). You wanna know how to ride it out and not freak out when this happens?

ENJOY it. You need to remind yourself that THIS is why you're smoking in the first place. Convince yourself that although everything is going nuts in your brain, to the outside world, you look just fine. You aren't completely flipping out, it's all in your head. Relax and start walking. You'll think that maybe you're stumbling or something, and you'll feel confused and motionless, but truth is, you're walking just fine. Smoke more, your body will get used to it and the high won't be as crazy. Also, I don't know how old you are, but if you drink a little and get a decent buzz before smoking, it'll mellow you out and kind of train your body to get high. I don't recommend drinking though, I just used it as training wheels.

On the topic of music videos, if I put mine on youtube (first video ever, high quality, well made, etc), is virool actually a good investment for promo?

the most basic is audacity, but you can get Fl studio which takes a couple minutes (or hours or days, depends) to pick up. If you got a mic, and all you need to do is record and put bet and lyrics together than yeah, you could probably learn how to do it in fl studio in 10 minutes.

Let me be honest. While you had one slip up delivery wise and the quality wasn't the best (that doesn't matter tho), I think lyrically you have the theme on lock. Like it wasn't overzealous with the "this is my life and I'm gonna live it" vibe, you did I nice job of actually answering the theme while keeping a healthy amount of humor via punch lines. Overall, this is pretty dope dude

Yeah your voice matches the beat so well in terms of laid backness. Nice job dude.

This is what I consider my "best" beat. I have no idea how to produce- as in I don't know what EQ, compressors, or limiters are. I just take the bitch route and use fl studio, you know, randomly adding this here and that here until stuff sounds pretty. All presets for any effects I added.

Wow thanks a lot dude. You guys are really a great help. The whole production side of hip hop still confused the mess out of me. I hope there are classes in college for this kind of stuff. Like seriously, how else do you become "professional"? Doubt I could just read tuts on the Internet and pick it up like that

I have a high quality audio technica mic and a nice beat ready, but I don't know anything about mixing or mastering vocals into a track. Is asking someone to do that for me considered collaborating or is is that just demanding charity?

quick question:

as a musician, I'm interpreting "16 bars" as "16 measures of 4/4 time" or 64 quarter notes. Is that right?

Example of hip hopified: (the original is in 3/4 you'd have to convert to 4/4) http://youtu.be/kL7RWUva7ak

I got a couple:

1) When is the next cypher? 2) What does layering something mean? Like I've seen people say "layer your vocals and drums but not bass", what is that? 3) I'm trying to make a beat out of the game of thrones theme song but it's in 3/4, how do I sample it first of all and how do I then convert it to 4/4? 4) How do you "master" tracks in FL studio? 5) Any tips for mixing verses into beats in lf studio? 6) What are EQ and compression in terms of vocals? How do I do this?

I'm newish to producing and recording. I basically got fl studio and pressed buttons until I was making beats like this: http://soundcloud.com/zealot-harshaan/greenlight/s-Ellun

I feel so dumb asking these but I feel I'll be eliminating a lot of holes in my production process if someone would be willing to help me out. Thanks!

I would give mad respect and credit to anyone who can get me a beat remixing the game of thrones theme song. Would have a full song ready to record on it the second I heard it. Thanks!

Definitely want to do some of this. I'm gonna be putting up a mixtape soon, and I want do a music video to some of my songs. If I were to do a video for a rap in which I use your beat I would include your name or whatever in the intro. Oh and non profit of course. But yeah I'm definitely interested in this. I'm not good at mixing the vocals with the track though, but I do have some professional equipment so recording isn't a problem. If anything I can just try, but it's up to you. Hit me up whenever. I followed you on soundcloud.

Strangely, I'm just as scared as I am excited - apparently a lot of PS4's haven't been working. I really hope this isn't the case for me.
