Made these a year ago
This is MENACING! You changed the bass patch too? I think the melody/piano is FAR more emotive at this tempo. Curious to hear what you think about it at this tempo? -
Please Warm My Weiner
Getting some heavy RJD2 vibes of this! The layering of samples is what really brings this to life. I do like that you went back and put some strings in there to fill out the sonics and give the ears something to follow in the background. Great blend of synths, samples, and instrumentation. -
Final Battle
Always a fan of cinematic approach to hip hop. The melody and harmonies are a great base for a story telling beat. That guitar line is also amazing, especially the way you introduced it. The change up that starts at 2:02 is cool too. I don't care much for that synthetic distorted guitar, but... -
hard / jazzy / unique 90bpm
Definitely unique. All the elements are good, but I think this serves more as a "proof-of-concept" rather than a functional beat. I can see it as an outro of a song or interlude between two story telling type tracks. As always, you keep pushing limits and trying cool new things. Respects for... -
same vintage synth sample flipped twice!
First one has a early 2000s mixtape energy to it. I could see the whole of Dip Set or D-Block going full HAAM on it - with DJ Kay Slay yelling is lungs out in the back lol. One thing I've come to really appreciate about your music is focus on song structure. Each section is unique, but flows... -
Made these a year ago
Ambitions: Great piano intro. Simple, but effective melody, nice harmonies, and creative use of counter melody. I more fleshed out arrangement may really bring this to life. Experiment with extended harmonies across different instruments (strings, horns, pads) and doubling some elements. Maybe... -
COOL J. - "JUDGEMENT"
Dope beat! High energy, and great use of drums/percs to create a boom bap esque groove with a janky off kilter feel. flow and vocals sound good and fit well with the beat. Really loving that moogy bass. Overall great tune. -
BOOM BAP BEAT gospel flip soulful | "oh no" 98BPM
love the drum fill transition from the intro to Verse 1. Nice sample choice, would of liked to hear a stripped back more sparse use of it during verse 1, but you did it in Verse 2 which adds to the dynamic build of the piece. My only critique, would be, the whole track sounds a bit... -
When You're Not In The Beat-making Mood
@Leopard Cohen Very much so! When I approach music as thought experiments, explorations, or just "fucking around" I find I come out with music that I, personally, really enjoy. Moreover, it's fun to make and the process feels less laborious. That's not to say that objective based writing... -
When You're Not In The Beat-making Mood
Hey All, A couple weeks ago I was riding what seemed like a creative peak. Making beats every night, sampling in unique ways and using a variety of my musical skills, techniques, and resources to make music that was fun for me. This was quickly followed by a couple weeks of next to no... -
Could I Get Some Opinions on This?
Rubbery Intro Patch: I like the touch of attack at the start of the sound. Not sure if it's two layered patches or stacked oscillators, but there's a cool de-tune/spread that gives it some extra space. The hint of crunch on it helps to give it character as well. Intro Sub Bass: Sounds like a... -
working on a project where I'm using mostly sounds from a a collection of rare/vintage synths (Martyn Ware NIC)
#1: That dusty vinyl piano intro is a great way to open a song. I was curious what direction you were going to go in. Disco? House? Hip-Hop? Turns out I was wrong lol. That little ring mod release on the synth is wild. Simple, but adds a ton of extra texture to the beat. I love the industrial... -
Back in da days
Loving the drums! It's hard to be both punchy and laid back...you nailed it here. That piano line is sweet, serene, and adds a nice juxtaposition to the boom-bap style drums. The chops/samples fit perfectly and this is a great example of less is more. All elements jive with each other, and... -
Leave the pain *new beat *
Maybe a bit more, or even the value of the swing (16ths vs 8ths etc.) Coupled with velocity variations can make a world of difference -
Griselda ft 50 Cent type beat
Nice! Excited to hear what you come up with that. Spitfire stuff is great, and the LABS stuff is free! I'm contemplating the recent Moog Mariana VST...mostly for the house stuff I make. -
Griselda ft 50 Cent type beat
Drums bang hard! Great sound selection and groove. There's a lot of space and you can feel them in a room like an acoustic keep. The high synth-bell like melody is super dope. Eerie, melodic, and does a lot to add to the atmosphere. Especially like the gritty texture and how it blends with the... -
Leave the pain *new beat *
Digging the sample choice. The processing and chops are great and I do like how the vocal chop blends nicely with it. The transition around 0:30 is a great. Maybe could serve to be a bit longer as it'll give you an opportunity to really explore more dynamic range and allow you to drop into... -
BoomBap Joint
Great vibe! The drums have a nice groove and hit hard. I love the creativity on the chops and micro chops. Lots of good variations that keep the listener interested without being too busy or overwhelming to the ear. I think what you nailed here is groove and variety. The little stutters and... -
What DAW are you using?
@K-waz It was definitely ahead of it's time when I was on v3. Warping and chopping was so simple! I loved that you could have the entire warped sample towards the bottom, and then just pull your chops up to the timeline. I got really into "micro-chopping" because it was so easy. The FX... -
What DAW are you using?
How is Acid Pro these days? I used to use it back in the early 2000s (up to version 4/5) I also loved using it, but I'm on Mac now which it isn't available on.
