    Oh wow. Flashback.

    Pitch tuning of Kick,snare,hh,crash...

    You don't need to tune drums/percussion, I'd say it's more personal preference. I like pitching down snares/hats sometimes, but I've always been a fan of downtempo and chopped/screwed.

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

    I really like your flip, man. My only thought is that it's a little repetitive at certain points, but it could just be my personal preference. Any secrets on how you're able to push the volume so much? I've been trying to gain stage and follow other tips but I still feel I'm losing big time in...

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

    Nice, I took that piece of sample too "lord knows" for one of my flips. You turned yours into much more of a classic boom bap style, I like it. Were those other vocals part of the sample (what you have panned to the left and the "ohh baby" run) or was that a separate sample? Flutes were a nice...

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

    Digging the vibe of this, I'll have to try this style. I like it. Agree with what others have said, i.e. cleanliness of the chops/arrangement. But with some clean up I think it's solid.

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

    Super jazzy. Love the effects you have on the guitar and vocal. Cool how you chopped this, and as usual super clean. It might just be my headphones (Sennheiser HD400) but it sounds a little muddy (like the background brass has too much reverb/delay). But really like the vibe.

    Flip 1 of (2?). I'm aiming to flip another part of this sample since I liked it so much.

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

    And great drums! This one sounds familiar. I may have flipped it back in the day. Looking forward to working with this. p.s. I think this is my favorite part of Ill, guess I'm still old school and get a lot of joy in flipping samples and seeing how others do it.

    Stop using reverb on your snare.

    @K-waz what's your preferred/fav reverb plugin? I've been FL's Reverb 2 and sometimes TAL Reverb 4, but curious what others are using!

    Thanks for listening, man. Throw a verse on it ;)

    First Trap Beat

    Thanks for the specifics on this, was looking forward to getting your mixing expertise because I had a real hard time mixing the low end on this one. I've never worked with such heavy 808s before. There's a distorted kick over an 808 over certain parts. I was looking for a distorted sound, but...

    First Trap Beat

    Thanks for listening! Ha, I hear you. At least I'm applying some concepts of hip-hop (sampling) to trap instead of a basic chord progression looped alongside a blown 808. Trying to bring my own element into what's trending haha. Thanks for the feedback on the sample chops/progression. I had...

    Ugh, still getting used to YT. Here's an updated link. Welcome any and all feedback!

    First Trap Beat

    Trying to adapt. Let me know what you think! I like to create "projects" to keep me motivated so my next one is to make a Halloween inspired trap beat CD. Still sticking with sampling though because I love it and my favorite part of beatmaking is trying to making something totally different from...

    Best headphones for mixing?

    Great to know. Thank you.

    Best headphones for mixing?

    thanks for the details! curious, how would I know if I need a preamp or not, or do you recommend just using a preamp regardless?

    Dilla Time (the book)

    Good to know. I've had it saved on Amazon for a while now, same with Rick Rubin's book.

    Beat Battles

    1) Make beats. 2) Upload whenever Fade says to. 3) Learn from the competition. That's it. Don't sweat it. Creating is supposed to be fun, right? Full disclosure I just joined this forum about 2 months ago so I'm still learning the ropes myself.
