In terms of bookings GP is the place to be this is DJ General Slam's home.In the production side DJ General Slam loves using single hits not that he doesn't use loops he also does thus the style of the production is the key ingredient in a track.
General Slam's production structure starts from programming drums and builds on to that.As a sound engineer DJ General Slam uses both analog and digital soft synth sources now a day's you cant tell the difference between analog and digital because digital is now getting close to that natural analog sound.When monitoring a session DJ General Slam feels that the sound should be thick and fat and should cover up the whole human hearing audio spectrum of 20Hz to 20Khz.
To upcoming producers the biggest barriers they face is firstly they think that this music industry has money so they don't produce out of love they produce to make fast money whereby they fail.
Mastering is a very important part of the finish product in an acoustically treated studio for the best mastering quality you should have the best digital to analog converter and an high end DSP card for Pro Tools HDX users.DJ General Slam also does do mastering it came as part of his sound engineering course.
