    Barbara Jean English - "You're Gonna Need Somebody to Love You"

    Thanks man. And honestly, all I did was do a little EQ and then use a limiter to help boost levels. One of my things is to ignore the loudness war - everything is always pushed to the max but I find it unnecessary sometimes. Depending on vibe of the track, you my not want to participate in the...

    Barbara Jean English - "You're Gonna Need Somebody to Love You"

    @SwayeeBoogie I dig the direction of it, overall its pretty cool man. Just kinda agree with @2GooD Productions as far as the smoothness of chopping and placement. @2GooD Productions Both of these are super solid man, heat as always. I think I may like 'Lord Knows' a bit more, but both are two...

    Battle That! Competition - September 13-16, 2023

    Thanks man, appreciate that. lol, that beat is actually almost 100% sample from Interstellar, and I typically go for more of the soulful stuff. But I wanted to be one some Vinnie Paz shit lmao.

    Battle That! Competition - September 13-16, 2023

    @2GooD Productions congrats mang, you definitely came with it. Good shit sir! @Iron Keys ah, so it was you that knocked me out in the first round. I should have known. lmao man as soon as I heard it I was like .....well shit. I definitely should have chose another beat for round 1

    Battle That! Competition - September 13-16, 2023

    @Fade Just to clarify, we submit one beat to see if we are chosen, and then upload the other 3 beats after we are chosen, correct? Apologies, in all the years I've been lurking here Im entering for the first time lol.

    Sampling is fucking hard

    Sometimes when I've run into that problem, it was because my chops were kinda off - like, in a way that was of a different timing even though it still technically fits. What can give you more freedom to achieve what youre hearing in your head, imo, is chopping smaller. Sometimes it lets you hear...

    Sampling is fucking hard

    Well, my man, you gotta figure out what method suits you best. Like how you are gonna go about it in the first place. As others have mentioned, practice is number 1. BUT, its hard to practice when you dont have a method down. Some people chop a loop and then use that audio file in their DAW on...

    Any Feedback Appreciated (It's short on purpose, please ignore the length)

    I feel you on that. Experiment with lowering levels of certain sounds and panning them - it can often be a competition of space and frequency. But also, if youre going for a beat that you feel someone may spit on, keep it simple/leave room so the artist has a chance to shine. If youre making it...

    Any Feedback Appreciated (It's short on purpose, please ignore the length)

    As far as the beat goes @Fury Beats, first version is the best in my opinion. However, if you were to include the piano part from the 30s mark on from version2, that would be ill. Its a solid and grimey gutta type beat, but that piano sample goes nice. Incorporate that into the first version...

    Shigeo Sekito - "The Word II"

    Had to hop on this one too. Whole album got some gems! Definitely need a proper mix for this joint, but here we go.

    Alan Hawkshaw - "Mystique Voyage"

    Lol, Im pretty sure it was just operator error on my end. Ive only been lurking for some time now, and forgot most of the codes when it comes to forums/php boards.
  17. Mike Chief

    Oop...

    That bass line is definitely the star Fuckin solid, shit is groovy.

    And failing miserably at making the player appear in the thread -_-

    Alan Hawkshaw - "Mystique Voyage"

    Man, this was a fuckin ill track to work with. Surprised not more people hopped on this one yet. @Fury Beats I agree with Fade on the kick being a little thicker. But man, something about it being detuned really gives it a soothing quality. There was one area where I thought sample didnt fit...

    Rhythm Roulette: Easy Mo Bee | Mass Appeal

    Great episode of this. @Delta_Nine yeah..Amoeba isnt really the spot to go for vinyl. Its cool for the aesthetic/history and touristy factor but definitely overpriced and kinda blah. Dont get me wrong though they definitely have some gems, but theres a spot literally two blocks away that I...
