    Sounds familiar samples?

    Yeah I always try to chop. Nowadays the art of sampling isn't mainly about crate digging anymore, with all the samples you want available in a couple of mouse clicks and where almost every record is sampled before.

    Sounds familiar samples?

    I really like sample based hiphop and find the originals to see how the producer made a beat with it. Sometimes the original is so strong that they didn't even try to 'flip' it. It would murder the sample. Does these songs sound familiar?

    What are some of your biggest pains in the butt at the moment regarding beat making?

    You should try out Directwave in FL studio... Add the whole song as a .wav into Directwave and copy it 10 times. This way, you don't have to precut your sample and you're able to (re)set the startingpoint individually. I always find that pre-chopping the song you sample is killing for...

    Beat This! - June 29-30, 2021

    Thanks for the win! I didn't expect it because there are a lot of dope entries... Here's my feedback on the beats (please don't take it personal like MJ...); @ConspiracyMuzik I really like the intro, getting that reggae vibe. Mix is very solid. Drums are on point, I usually put the open hihat...

    This. However, some really over compressed/drained the life out of their beats. I know it's a thing nowadays to make a beat as loud as possible, but the dynamics got totally lost in the process imo...

    Showcase - June 28-July 4, 2021

    Nice work (sample is dope)! Some things i've noticed; The end of the bassline (lowest tones) don't fit the sample (key). Have you tried leaving out all but the first bass note? Creating a bassline can be tricky when a sample has little to no chord progression. On the right side of the stereo...

    Finished Beat It Up! - Battle #141

    Beat1: Shakira vibes... Sadly there are some dissonant tones in this. Beat2: Pretty decent. This beat needs a bit of mixing to glue everything together as a whole. I think there's room left for an instrument in the (low) mids... Maybe simplify the bassline some more and give it some low end...

    Headphone amp?

    It might have something to do with the frequency range of your AI, where it has a roll off on the deep lows...

    Headphone amp?

    What audio interface do you have? And do they match in terms of Ohms? And be aware that studio headphones usually output 'true' sound. Using a headphone amp instead of your AI isn't going to make a difference (if they're in the same quality/price range).

    Chicago Transit Authority (aka Chicago) - I'm A Man (1969)

    I think it's 'Breathe' from Firestarter. Either they put a massive distortion on the sample or they just copied the chords...

    Beat This! - May 19-20, 2021

    Dope entries! I expected more chimes and 'rock the boat' smooth as butter kind if beats... Some really nailed it with the sounds/instruments, but are off with the chord progression. Others are really good, but lack that typical 90's vibe. Tough one to vote...
