    Bun B - Thats Gangsta (remix)

    Drums are really clean and easy to nod to. Melody is cool and unique too. I like the brass that's low and panned to the left, adds a nice element that ties it all together. Solid work, sounds very professional.

    J. Cole - Once an Addict

    I like the beat, great 90s vibe. Like others said, I do think it's off at the end, maybe keeping just the melody and dropping the drums could be better on the ears, but not sure. Do agree with others that the FX used don't align with the lyrics, but that's fine it's a remix and you're trying...

    Cross Fade

    I like the simple drum pattern with a big kick on top of a more complex piano melody, makes it easy to flow to and a good head nodder. I couldn't really hear the bass well, but it did sound a bit low and muffled, so could probably have a better balance with the kick/bass, or get rid of the bass...

    Riots in the street...

    oh, yeah def. or I'm guessing you'd have to pay a lot to clear, or have whatever label deal with any lawsuits that come up if they decide to just use it uncleared on a for-profit release. likely a beat for non-monetization promo/non-profit use only or a free mixtape. I'm honestly not sure how...

    Riots in the street...

    Thanks man! Yeah, I tweaked the levels a bit to make room for the hip-hop drums (i.e. reduced the OG bass, some low pass on the chop I used for the low end, and band pass on the guitar loop). For the vocals, I chopped the "riots" line from the OG track to create a hook. I really only added a...

    Riots in the street...

    ... it's a story! Well, what I imagine anyways. I could see a rapper really going nuts on this to push a message, tell a story, or just rap about all the chaos we're living through. Let me know what you think, if it's too much or not. "Riots in the Street" (make sure to stick around for the...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    I think what may make bass loops hard to sell and market is that bass is the glue of the track, so some buyers would likely need to build around the bass loop. I get that folks can chop it up but realistically most bedroom producers would load a plugin at that point. If you're marketing to...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    That's kind the approach I'm thinking right now. Just get the beats as many listens as possible. And then also I'm not really looking to spam out with leases, stick with exclusives and custom projects only. Try to distinguish myself that way (but will only work if my channel/beats gets some...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    I'm actually working on a collab beat tape with another producer right now. Pushing it out for free so not to push leases or exclusive rights, rather trying to attract rappers. If someone like the beats, spit on them and let's keep creating great fucking music and then blast out finished songs...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    Just reading through, my $0.02 would be to look at this like you're building a start up. Take a look at the concepts like TAM/SAM/SOM and try to hone in on your serviceable and obtainable market (based on data/research) and then focus on executing that. By trying to market to people who sample...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    Who is your target market, who are you primarily marketing to now? Also, what's your goal, to create side hustle income? Just have fun and attract an audience? Trying to form a band/group or find folks to work with regularly? Just trying to think how to best help by "begining with the end in...

    Question for trap producers... how to get 808s consistent across various sound systems?

    right, as much as it's an art, there's still a science to mixing and the production steps.

    Yeah I'll have to check out rbass in particular, as an exception to my "rule" haha. What did they do recently as a company?
