    Beat This! Beat This! Competition - July 9-10, 2025

    That’s where I was at about 1 am this morning. I had cycled through about 5 different ideas and ended back up at the original. By time I gave it a half-assed mix, I couldn’t figure out if it was worth keeping lol.

    FLIP IT! Paul Williams - Wistful Dreams

    Thanks @2GooD Productions Yeah we've been kinda going in different directions in terms of vibe and energy. For the record, I like your more soulful stuff! The second section was a bit tricky and wasn't happy with how it tied together with the first theme. I also wanted to layer some...

    Showcase SHOWCASE: July 6-13, 2025

    @2GooD Productions The funky Wah on the E-piano is sooo sick. See you getting in on those sleigh bells lol. That distorted organ line is really good too, and I like how it leads right into the wah-wah e-piano. The back half of this is fucking DOPE. The strings, ooohs, and horns add soo much...

    FLIP IT! Paul Williams - Wistful Dreams

    @kSm Dope flip! I do quite like the drums on this. They have that rugged and raw sound which goes pretty nicely against this sample. I think a little clarity and definition between the kick and bass would help a bit. Great use of the sample and the chops. This has a Nas story telling vibe to...

    Showcase SHOWCASE: July 6-13, 2025

    @hosie Drums are great. They have a nice weight, sizzle, punch, and groove to them. The Jazzy sample is nice and used really well with some creative chops. I like how it doesn’t get to repetitive and has this improvisational jazz band feel to it. I would’ve Liked to hear the sample/melodic...

    SHOWCASE: June 29 - July 6, 2025

    @attila For Real: This feels more like and "art project" than it does a hip-hop beat. The harmonics and the atmosphere are really cool. I like the build and the way the song grows. There's an almost 'biological' feel in the way it breathes and pumps. I do think some half time drums, or maybe...

    FLIP IT! Paul Williams - Wistful Dreams

    @2GooD Productions I love that you kept the jazzy/soul vibe of the source material. Where I went dark and gloomy, you kept it kinda bright and bouncy. The guitar line was a great addition. Sounds like you also layered sample chops - which takes a good ear and craftsmanship - so kudos on that...

    Ohio Players - "Our Love Has Died"

    @Mike Free Music I really like the drums on this. The pattern, and the tone are great. I think they'd be better served tucked in a bit more in the mix. The reason why I think so, is the sample chops are soo smooth and silky. I really like how you worked the sample. Also, that squelchy g-funk...

    Still regarding sampling

    Don’t worry, it’ll be a cheap flight to Toronto

    What’s good

    Nice! I’ve been using it alongside Maschine for about 6 years now. I only recently really started focusing on improving my mixes so I’ve been exploring a lot of the stock FX. I just got a new Mac Air and can’t remember all the advanced settings I had selected in my old Mac Book lol.

    FLIP IT! Paul Williams - Wistful Dreams

    Super cool sample! Couldn't quite figure out a way to tie the two different themes together, or I would've save this for a battle.

    @PhxAzTracmaster Skank: Growing up on Dub/Reggae...I really like this. Extra props for playing on the instruments. You nailed the bass tone for this style of music. I especially like the jazzy little embellishments with the guitar. My only critique would be that it doesn't kick into a second...

    SHOWCASE: June 29 - July 6, 2025

    @2GooD Productions Annalisa: I think this is a great example of your sound comes across a bit more stripped back and reserved. The drums still have weight and the mix has your usual brightness to it, but the whole piece feels just a bit more restrained. Musically, it's a very 'complete' beat...
