    Amiga Samplers : Budget dance music in 1990

    I loved the games on it so much. Turrican 2, Chaos Engine, Alien Breed, Zool...real different selection to SNES and megadrive. The 8 bit sound chip was awesome.

    Congrats to @crog85 - liked the Houston screw style Gave a vote to @Space_Alexander - just nice classic hip hop vibes No ones mentioned @Armani - thought your beat was decent! So many other good beats, no need to mention again. A word on the 'vocal track allowed'. I would prefer it if there...

    I love the comparison. You're like a nice glass of chardonnay and mine is more like a warm pint of beer!

    Amiga Samplers : Budget dance music in 1990

    I watched this video a while back totally awesome. I had an Amiga 600 when I was a kid but I just used it for games, wish I'd hung on to it. My uncle had a 1200 and he had lots of cracked games on floppies. I use Renoise as my main DAW so I'm getting that tracker Amiga experience now.

    So... My song will be on some bbc radio station in a couple hours?

    Ha ha yeah. The main rapper MC Free arranged it. Silverfinger turned up at the studio in the Uni one day and did his thing. I think he's got a cool flow. Wish I'd kept doing stuff like that and kept networking but got distracted with other things in life.

    How do I here it now Armani? here's that track I did with Silverfinger in it. His bit is at 02:26.

    Congrats @Armani. Particularly the beer part! Weird connection here, saw that pic of the silverfinger Singh bloke and recognised him. Pretty sure he did a verse on one of my tracks back in 2006/7 when I was at Uni in Leeds and making a mixtape with a local rapper. He was really good even then...

    Really would've liked to join this one but on holiday. Damn shame cos I love reggae + hip hop. NWA 'Alwayz Into Something' is still one of my fave beats of all time. I feel us UK boys have the edge in this. Gonna get back to the hotel and have a listen to the beats. There better be fire if I'm...

    I can't make this one either. Didn't want to rush the beats and half arse it. Good luck to all!

    Here's a nice quick breakdown of a top rap beat

    This totally. I usually layer a couple of snares but that's about it. Maybe two kicks sometime. That DAW looks so busy and makes me cringe. I fell into the trap of overprocessing and over time realised good sound selection is better. I mean who has the time to spend half a day searching for...

    Modern Music's Death By Auto-Tune

    Another Rick Beato fan! I love this dude, he's so talented. Will watch this. Just watched his 'Kiss from a Rose' WMTSG. Was awesome and he actually had Seal on it!

    Yeah especially when you can hear a sound in your head but can't find or make it.

    Attack of the Beats! - Battle #194

    @Fade it's funny you mentioned that synth I chose because I changed it a few times and wasn't that happy with it. I think it was a Steinberg Halion preset. Just couldn't find the perfect sound so settled for that in the end. Also this was me experimenting making a beat in FL Studio which I...

    Careful mate you start using them FM synths and you might accidentally make a dubstep track
  16. Face Valid

    Beat This! - June 2-3, 2021

    Mind blown. Will go back and listen again. I just thought you added on some chiptune synths to make it 'experimental'. Beat was tight af though.

    I voted for @2GooD Productions song definitely had that 90s vibe made me want to dance. @prod.bysicksiah was a close second, also drenched in 90s goodness. Liked the @K-waz beat too, I swear I once made a track with a similar chord progression to that - never released it tho just a coincidence...

    @Pappas Beats - congrats mate real smooth and sexy! Damn came so close but stoked to be runner up! Was looking forward to this one as I have a bit of a soft spot for 90s swing / R&B. Will do a bit more of a round up later after work.
