yo, check this out. there is a sweet seminar by Domino from Hieroglyphics this Thursday. I just bought a ticket for the uStream TV event. I think it would really be worth it. Check out the link below for more information. There is gonna be alot of great information if you are a hip hop producer or even a house producer (since house started being a sample based genre).
