    The Making of "Armani's Chicken Dance" (Sampling 101 & Creative Constraints)

    @Armani @ProPortionMusic @Fade and a few others were fucking around in the chat last night. It took a weird direction. Animals, what kid's are doing in high school nowadays, and you can connect the dots. Anyways, I said that I was going to incorporate animal noises in whatever I made next...

    Best headphones for mixing?

    What's up, folks. Dusty B here, aka Dusty Blender, aka Ol' Dirty, aka Chubby White, aka Smelly Balls, aka The Less Attractive Rick Rubin, aka Croc Feet, aka Crocs n Sox. Who the fuck is Dusty B? Quick question. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 400 headphones. They're pretty good with a great low...

    Sample Manager - Great for Workflow

    https://resonic.at/home I find the built in browser/search function in FL Studio to be pretty terrible and clunky. I came across this and it's a pretty sweet (and free) sample manager. Think a basic File Explorer but with a built in single click audio player. Figured I'd share here too in...

    (Billy Joel + Disturbed) * lots of weed = "Trap Rock"

    Been fucking around with rap/rock and other alternatives styles. I'm not really sure what I could expect over this track (Post Malone / Eminem?) maybe with a chant style hook. It's giving me Lil Wayne Rebirth vibes. You tell me. Bill Joel and Disturbed, WTF? That's why it's dusty. It should be...

    "Ramparts" | Alternative Hip-Hop Beat (Travis Barker Drum Solo Sample)

    Hi All, been enjoying making this style. Someone had mentioned that a prior alternative/rock/rap beat I posted reminded them of RTJ. I'm not really sure what to call it, you tell me! :) Been listening to Just Blaze a lot recently, this one has some of that influence (show me what you got style...

    FL Studio: Any way to edit channels in bulk (Cut / Cut By)?

    What's up, folks. Anyone know if there's a way to edit the Cut/Cut By settings in bulk? What I typically do is chop up my sample and then try to mess around with my controller to put together a melody, but it throws a wrench in my workflow whenever I need to stop and go into each channel...

    Ms. French (Alternative/Hip-Hop Type Beat)

    I think I could picture a rapper/singer type collabo on this type of beat, maybe with a rock/alternative singer jumping in and out or on the hook. I think it has a Gorillaz type of vibe too (unintentionally, ha). Let me know what you think!

    Work in progress melody (piano, strings, synth). Thoughts on drums?

    Hi Folks - what do you think of this? This is a melody I've been working on. I took a different approach on this one and reversed my workflow (focused on completing the melody first before messing with drums). But now I'm not sure what kind of drums to put on top of it. If anyone is interested...

    Playing with various FXs - Comfortably Numb Flip

    Just a loop as I ran out of steam on this one, but mostly an experimental track.

    How often do you make beats and how long does it take you?

    I'm getting back into it after a 10 year hiatus. Over the past couple weeks, I've been spending a few hours in my office after the kids are sleeping, and then wrapping up mixing and fine-tuning the next day in between the work day. Right now I'm at like ~0.5-1 beat/day and probably ~6 hours...

    I flipped Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire"

    Mostly wanted to experiment. Let me know what you think! p.s. there's a free/legal FLAC download on archive.org in case anyone else wants to sample it.

    Ghetto Brawl

    What's up, folks. Beat #2 to share since getting back into it. Looking for any and all feedback! Was watching Monsters University with my kids and got inspired to play around with a "real" drums feel. Let me know what you think.

    The Otherside (Rapper Singer Type Beat)

    What's up, folks. New guy here. Made beats for about 7-8 years straight, then life happened and didn't make anything for about 10 years, and now I'm having fun tapping into an old hobby and creative outlet. Check out my latest rapper singer type beat. Leveraged the famous chords from...

    Getting back into it, first beat to share. Pop/R&B/Hip-Hop type for a singing rapper.

    Sorry, dupe post. Trying to figure out how to delete :)
