    trap x boom bap fusion type beat

    I like this beat. Defiantly a good use of both Boom Bap/Trap.

    So what’s the point anymore?

    Most of the time, I just use my keyboard and other instruments to create samples. Other times I use output and other AI sampling VSTs.

    Worst beat you can make or which beat makes you laugh the hardest if no one has thought of that yet.

    So what’s the point anymore?

    I'm conflicted about this. On one hand, I have more opportunities to sample something just by typing a song description and pressing enter and I don't have to worry about copyrights or sample clearance (until the law catches up but who knows with AI). On the other hand, I do worry that if I...

    Transitioning from Software to Hardware Tools.

    I don't know if it's just me but I've seen a large number of producers who I've followed on YouTube start of with using software tools (I tend to count MIDI instruments as primarily software). Then, they either get enough money or a free sponsorship to get some hardware gear most notably the...

    Exactly. Most jazz samples usually get incorporated into Boom Bap Beats. If it's royalty free, I wouldn't hesitate to use pre-made loops but I still try to make it unique by chopping, time stretching, pitch-shifting and layering. However I'll sometimes be bold and sample something from a real...

    Admittedly that's what I use to do when I first started producing. Overtime I realized that it's borderline cheating and that's it isn't fun to take something from a sample pack and install it into a beat with no changes. In theory you can sample anything for trap and boom bap. When it comes to...

    I figured that trap would be a little easy to make since the drums and 808s have very little sound diversification compared to boom bap drums and you can just find a trap melody and install into your project easily without any changes. With Boom Bap, going through different one shots, loops...

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 26-27, 2024

    I went with the X because I don't have a desire to take my MPC anywhere and to access of of the MPC software in the flesh . I currently have the One but I'm trying to sell it. I like to keep most of my instruments in one studio but I'll be using my SP 404 MK 2 and KO II for portability. Ever...
