Retrieved September 24, 2013.But the first time I got interested in how to make something was listening to Timbaland productions, trying to figure out how he did those things. I couldn’t even fathom it, where you would get started, but I was interested. On Aaliyah’s third album [Aaliyah, 2001], the song More Than a Woman was so next-level to me. I just sat there trying to imagine how he made it. After that, I started trying things on the [Ensoniq] ASR-X Pro [Resampling Production Studio]... the red machine with just the drum pads."

The experience lost more of its impact when the album leaked online hours after. Maybe the old-fashioned listening party isn’t so bad after all. J.

[7] [8] With the title he ended his basketball-themed series of projects. He would say, Cole:"Honestly, I use tools like panning to clear up space, especially now that I’ve grown as a producer, but in my early stages there was no such thing–just sounds piled on top of each other. Only now am I starting to take control of things that used to be done in the mix. Now I’m doing EQs, reverbs, delays, panning, etc. while making the beat. I didn’t have the mixing ear at first, just an ear for melody and drums and adjusting the volume of the sounds. This album [Born Sinner] was the beginning of my putting more motion in the sound design, and it’s only scratching the surface."

J. Cole stepped on stage and explained why he chose to unveil the album this way, comparing the event to the usual listening party. “When the songs are playing I don’t want you talking about them. I want you listening to every word,” he said. “I want everyone in their own world.” That conviction was rewarded.
