Billy Hume, owner of Zone studios. Yup, THE ZONE studios. Check out what he has to say about Pre-Fader Metering...

Timbaland briefly mentions the fact that Drake can't rap over just any beat, and that he needs a certain sound from a certain producer.  It's interesting to hear Timbo mention in the end that he may or may not be the person to bring out the best from Drake.  It goes to show that event he most confident producers know their own limits.

Here's an interesting technique that Swizz Beatz is using to produce music.  Instead of making beats and sending them directly to artists, he's taking a step back and letting other producers produce a few songs for artists like T.I. and Shyne.  Once he gets a vibe of where the artist and album is going, that's when he gets an idea of where he wants his song with them to go.

Nick Cannon interviewed Timbaland on a local radio show.  Who knew Nick Cannon went from TV to radio?  Anyway, this is a forgettable interview with Timbo.  He doesn't talk too much about production, but he does talk about Billboard's "Top 10 Producers of the Decade" that gave Pharrell the #1 spot over Timbo.
