    Oh ok... Yes, I see beat #23. Well, to me as long as it's "part of the beat" and the rapper can rap over it, I consider it fine... Like I said, everyone judges for itself if it's ok or not and then votes. If most think it's not ok, the beat loses.

    Battle That! Competition - September 15-18, 2021

    Alright, guys. I'm beat #18 :D. I understand the discussion about the vocal thing... To me, since it's a part of the song I sample it's part of the beat itself, it's in no way comparable to an 8 bars "chorus" that would be toplined. It's the chipmunk sampling technique, and it's part of the...

    Battle That! Competition - September 15-18, 2021

    Guys, I'm up for chipping in as well. As for the paywall thing in the future, it's alright with me but I can already hear the newcomers coming for the prize with their egos and then losing their piggy bank money and finally complaining that the battles are rigged... I mean, it happened when...

    So he saved all his good beats for us, sweet Kanye... that explains the Donda debacle :ROFLMAO:.

    Beat This! - September 1-2, 2021

    First of all, thanks everyone for the love. I am very happy that I finally won a Beat This, 'cause that's a badge I been struggling to get. And that takes me in the top tens just before the season's end :cool:. I'm kind of surprised 'cause it's possibly one the beats I like the less from all...

    WTF just happened?

    This kind of stuff was only a dream 10 years ago... Now that it's happening, I'm wondering how it hasn't happened earlier... I mean, yeah there are probably underground artists who've done it in the past but now major guys like Kanye. I just don't understand the price tag... it makes no sense.

    What would it sound like?

    Xzibit - Heart of man is an obvious Toto Africa sample. You can check who sampled what at whosampled.com

    Beat This! - August 25-26, 2021

    Unintentionally, maybe. My thought process was this : 1. I found using famous songs as an obvious sample often wins (I remember that "Toto - Hold the line" won last "rock guitar" themed Beat This or Nutcracker at Christmas) which I usually avoid but I gave it a try. 2. I really like this flip...

    Congrats @crog85, and everyone. It was a dope one. I sure liked most of the beats in there... I'm not promising any detailed feedback , cuz I failed to deliver last time... i'll try though.

    WTF just happened?

    https://www.musictech.net/news/kanye-west-200-donda-stem-player-that-can-isolate-instrumentation-manipulate-samples/ I'm curious on your thoughts about this... I know I'm not paying this but, the release of an album as stems must be something we beatmakers/producers have something to say about...

    Beat This! - August 25-26, 2021

    Idk about @Iron Keys but I know that's the exact reason I agree with him... I can do all the boombap I like... But I can't do @crog85 or @Copyno to save my life. Probably because I don't listen to trap stuff enough... for the very reason @Iron Keys mentioned. I get bored pretty fast.

    Anyone know where to find this laugh sample? (used by raekwon, three 6 mafia, project pat)

    It's probably not the exact same laugh, but it might work well enough pitched and slowed down a bit : Plenty other useful kung-fu laughs in this movie if you want to sit through it.

    Also in. I went a surprisingly simple road on this one. Might work. Might.

    Warzone Beat Battle - August 20-21, 2021

    Agreed, it's frustrating at times. I also tend to throw in the Warzone the leftover beats I don't really care for... Worst is when you use a beat you really really like, and it goes against a bye on round 1...

    Warzone Beat Battle - August 20-21, 2021

    He used another beat on round 1... The last Warzone I won was with only two beats as well.

    Warzone Beat Battle - August 20-21, 2021

    Congrats for the win @Copyno, everyone who entered and/or voted. @KiloOnTheBeat I headed my ass straight to the lower bracket soon as I heard your beat in round 1. Dope stuff !

    How to navigate in huge sound libraries

    I'm going to second what has already been said : Serum is a very popular synth and the best place to find sounds is actually tutorials from youtube (I reckon it is boring to sit through a 10 minutes video to get the preset you need, but you'll learn a lot of sound design this way). In order to...

    Congrats @Andante for the win. I'll also give more feedback tomorrow. As for the sample I use, it's this one (mostly the bits about 4 and 14 minutes in) :
