    SHOWCASE: July 27 - August 3, 2025

    @Opium Dave Police State: Lots of cool little details here! Little bells, percs, metallic bits, and chimes all tucked neatly into the mix do a lot to add character without distracting from the main theme. Even the little brass stabs with the short and quick crescendoes are fill out the sound...

    Really like the drums on this. As others mentioned, I'd bring that crackle/hiss way down in the mix. I like the texture it adds, but it's a lot. Otherwise, this is a dope beat. There's a sweet/serene quality to it, but still has a nice dark edge. Great sample, and great treatment of it. Only...

    Cool atmosphere, space, and bounce. Melody/counter melody as usual is really well done. Sound selection wasn't my favourite, and well, we all know how I feel about 808s/Trap style drums lol.

    @Dusty B Overall, a very creative beat-tape. I've said it before, but you have style that's very unique and interesting. All the beats bring something cool to the table and each have one really "cool" aspect of them. There are a few that kinda sound long interludes or breakdowns of a longer...

    Software Samplers: What, Why & How?

    Will check this out. I’ve been meaning to make Maschine tutorial videos. Between the time commitment and impostor syndrome…I’ve never actually put hammer to nails though.

    Software Samplers: What, Why & How?

    @E.D - I love the MPC 1000 man, but really all comes down to comfortable and capability. I had been on Maschine for 11 years before I got the MPC so I know it better and it's far more powerful. I hear you on Acid/Soundforge. Back in the Fruity Loops days there wasn't a really good sampler so...

    Lofi Girl X Native Instruments 'Study Beat Challenge'

    @konceptG Both LoFiGirll and Chillhop have been staple playlists for me while working for several years now. I love the sound, vibe, and aesthetic. Some of it is a bit tooo downtempo and janky for me. But yeah, even when I seem to get the sound selection right or use plug-ins like Izotope...

    Software Samplers: What, Why & How?

    @2GooD Productions Pretty cool use of Cubase’s built in capabilities. I’ll so something similar, occasionally, in Logic too. Flex Time and audio editing functions are pretty powerful, it is again, kinda cumbersome - but I agree, it’s probably the most control you can get over the raw...

    Beat This! Competition - August 6-7, 2025

    I've got an 80s Synthwave playlist going while I chip away at some admin work today. Let's see if I can pull some inspo from it for the battle.

    Software Samplers: What, Why & How?

    @Iron Keys - I'm not sure if I want to add/change my DAW but I'll check out the Atom. @konceptG - I've always been intrigued by those old rack samplers. Not sure if I'd actually have the patience to use them though lol. To your point, I really think I just need some of that hands-on hardware...

    Software Samplers: What, Why & How?

    Software Samplers: What, Why & How? Background While I don’t often make sampled beats, the sampler is still an integral tool in my music making tool-kit. Often times I’ll load short composed loops into the Maschine sampler and chop them up to see if I can contort and squeeze out a new idea...

    I might dust off the MicroKorg and TB-03 for this one! Too bad I loaned my JU-06A to a friend.
