RE: timbaland beats
Just listening, I'd guess the main thing behind the DS sound is:
1. Incredible talent and attention to detail; and
2. Having a long history of music-making you've been paying attention to (stuffy people would call it "tradition") registered deep in your synapses from close study.
Then whatever equipment comes to hand to take 1. and 2. above and put 'em together with.
I REALLY agree with the proposal to do DS if you're DS, and to do something else if you're something else. If you study DS long enough and hard enough, you are DS and can do it, same with anything else. Harder to come by the tradition if you're in Norway, but not entirely impossible.
