    Thanks, man. I ended up softening the snare a little after the competition. That was the only part that bothered me listening back on it.

    This time, @Iron Keys, I knew your beat was your beat and it was legit my favorite. Loved the bass and the touches of groove organ in particular.

    Indeed. I really prefer the themed Beat Thises. Having a predetermined focus helps with the creative process.

    Definitely winning my first Beat This with this one. Definitely probably. Or not. But definitely.

    Not that I recommend this, but sometimes I hit up the old "beats" I uploaded here just to remind myself how fucking terrible I started off. Literally got a DAW and just started mashing buttons. I even picked a weird DAW no one uses (Serato Studio), but it has grown on me.

    I only used 3 decks for this one: drums (two kicks, snare, open and closed hats, loud echoey tap), bass, and a ragtime-y sample called "Foot Warmer" from like 1922. Kept the sampling cuts shorter (and less recognizable as the original music) and let the drums and bass stick out a little more...

    When in doubt, just vote for mine.

    About to wrap up #5 tonight (which will replace #1), so my 4 are good to go. So to be clear, I can use any of my 4 beats—or any other beat I want?—as the initial submission to basically "audition" to be included, and if accepted I'll submit all 4 for the actual competition. Accurate, @Fade?

    I finished #3, but think I'm going to replace #1 after all, so I technically only have 2 done now. Got a nice sample loop and drum pattern coming together for the next one, though. Been vibing out to it while I work.

    Already got 2 beats done done and 1 on the verge. I wonder how many folks will be able to have 4 ready to submit by end of next week.

    Surprised we only have 10 entries for this one. Beat This usually brings 20+. Fewer entries = better chances for me, though, and I'm definitely good with that. :cool:
