Battle That! Competition - September 13-16, 2023
@Fade Just to clarify, we submit one beat to see if we are chosen, and then upload the other 3 beats after we are chosen, correct? Apologies, in all the years I've been lurking here Im entering for the first time lol.- Mike Chief

Sampling is fucking hard
Sometimes when I've run into that problem, it was because my chops were kinda off - like, in a way that was of a different timing even though it still technically fits. What can give you more freedom to achieve what youre hearing in your head, imo, is chopping smaller. Sometimes it lets you hear...- Mike Chief

Sampling is fucking hard
Well, my man, you gotta figure out what method suits you best. Like how you are gonna go about it in the first place. As others have mentioned, practice is number 1. BUT, its hard to practice when you dont have a method down. Some people chop a loop and then use that audio file in their DAW on...- Mike Chief

Any Feedback Appreciated (It's short on purpose, please ignore the length)
I feel you on that. Experiment with lowering levels of certain sounds and panning them - it can often be a competition of space and frequency. But also, if youre going for a beat that you feel someone may spit on, keep it simple/leave room so the artist has a chance to shine. If youre making it...- Mike Chief

As far as the beat goes @Fury Beats, first version is the best in my opinion. However, if you were to include the piano part from the 30s mark on from version2, that would be ill. Its a solid and grimey gutta type beat, but that piano sample goes nice. Incorporate that into the first version...- Mike Chief

Alan Hawkshaw - "Mystique Voyage"
Lol, Im pretty sure it was just operator error on my end. Ive only been lurking for some time now, and forgot most of the codes when it comes to forums/php boards.- Mike Chief

Alan Hawkshaw - "Mystique Voyage"
Man, this was a fuckin ill track to work with. Surprised not more people hopped on this one yet. @Fury Beats I agree with Fade on the kick being a little thicker. But man, something about it being detuned really gives it a soothing quality. There was one area where I thought sample didnt fit...- Mike Chief

Rhythm Roulette: Easy Mo Bee | Mass Appeal
Great episode of this. @Delta_Nine yeah..Amoeba isnt really the spot to go for vinyl. Its cool for the aesthetic/history and touristy factor but definitely overpriced and kinda blah. Dont get me wrong though they definitely have some gems, but theres a spot literally two blocks away that I...- Mike Chief

Marion Brown - Sweet Earth Flying, Pt.1
@Dez-NYCe Definitely diggin the vibe. I think it needs a little bit of glue to make all elements a bit more cohesive. You got some frequencies kinda clashing together a bit, and I feel like panning some of the instruments a little more would definitely open up some space. Pretty solid though...- Mike Chief

Feeling frustrated...
Agree with you completely sir. I feel like thats why its so important and critical to focuz on yourself(or your own group) independently. I feel like the true goal would be to get distribution from one of the major labels; you could still stay true to your own craft and not mandated to copy...- Mike Chief

Soundcloud only has 2 months to live
^Heard the same There are gonna be people who invest in it, but it will indeed be interesting to see what comes of it. In a way, if it were to go away it would not be a necessarily bad thing. It would push people to push their music in different ways instead of uploading it and then being like...- Mike Chief

Sample Flip! - Lionel Richie - "Hello"
@P.RuckusBeatZ : Love this take on it. The Dhalsim sample is critical, Im super fuckin with that. Definitely a unique take. Yoga flame, mang. @Cayenne : I like how you chopped this. Got funky with it and I dig it. Real raw with it, you made this come out hard. Just wish it didnt end so...- Mike Chief

Sample Flip! - Lionel Richie - "Hello"
@E_Buddha : I dig this a lot mang. For me, its just the choppiness that needs to be cleaned up. I see you though. If possible, try to find some transitional sounds from the sample to fit those spaces. Something subtle so it can glue everything together. Im havin somewhat similar issues with my...- Mike Chief
