and then again in Jay Zs break down from
3:10-3:20

its probably a "squashed" recording. its nothing new. check out any lil john song, it'll be the same way.

i doubt usher knows what clipping is so it might not be on purpose ..lol

I think that's just the effect they used those parts of the song. why they want it to sound like ass idk...

i doubt usher does his own recordings. the problem lies with the people who produce the album.

whats dry ?

[moetpoppin]

i mean, yeah why would you want it to sound like ass.... but Jay Z has had a few of these break downs now

the other few i can think of is "on to the next one" and "empire state of mind"

if he fucks up my speakers, I smell class action lawsuit? i think we could get a couple hundred thou just from the people on this website

haha just playin but i still want to see the waves in a decent spectrum analyzer... or an oscope

im scared of jammin this song too loud, all my friends been sayin "turn it up" when this track comes on

and yeah, whats dry?

to call a vocal track "dry" means that it is exactly as the person sang it. with the invention of pro-tools, nothing is done in one shot any more. they can take the recording, and change the pitch, and even change it emulate someone elses voice. you could take a lil john track and make it sound like madonna was singing it.
