    Beat Fight #434

    Yeah, that's what I tried to do...but def missed the mark. It's the NI Rickenbacker and Massive's Trees (sub-bass) preset. I like the tone and texture of the Rick, but felt it needed some extra weight (hence the sub-bass).

    Very likely, It's two basses layered together. I had to bring the bass bus all the way down as it was far too strong in the mix. Will check and see what I had going on when I get back home.

    Thanks @2GooD Productions - will work on getting the compression. I was trying to get the kicks and bass to play nicely and was struggling with it.

    Sampling Method Tips

    Oh, this is perfect world scenario. The majority of the time I get lazy or distracted and just raw dog a sample. Also, all these steps can kinda be done concurrently. So maybe it’s not that convoluted.

    Sampling Method Tips

    I probably have an overly convoluted sampling process, but none-the-less, here it is... Sample Prep: Load my sample into either Maschine or Logic then chop main sections: Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge I like doing this even if I don't need the whole section Pitching Pitch the sample up or...

    @P.A.T. - The thick gliding bass with the delayed plucky synth is brilliant! I like that you teased it, then brought in back in proper. Nice intriguing arrangement, it really made me WANT to listen for what was coming next. Even the little echo/delay on the high synth stab does a lot to add to...

    Beat Fight #422

    @SJAMBOK BEATS - another really cool sample. That scraping metal sound is cool, but sounds out of key to me. Again, great ideas here, but the industrial/trap does not fit the RnB vocals too me. There's an uncomfortable mix of vibes and atmosphere here. I can kinda get behind the dark vibe and...

    Beat Fight #420

    @SJAMBOK BEATS - distorted 808 basslines will never appeal to me. Sorry, just a personal taste. I do like that dark descending line with the echo/delay. The counter that comes in at 0:40 is nice as well. "musically" this is well crafted piece, it's just the drums I can't get behind. That second...

    @SJAMBOK BEATS - cool sample! really dope drums too! I think having such a high energy and repetitive theme like that string line needs to approached carefully. Its a dope line, but half way thru the beat I was sick of it. The drums on this are the highlight to me, they feel like a live rock...

    @SJAMBOK BEATS - I like the lyrical and floaty nature of the piano to open. I do like the vocal sample too, but I think it doesn't blend nicely with the piano. In fact, I think it's entirely out of key, and it's made more noticeable by you putting the echo on the most out of key part of it. I...

    Beat Fight #416

    @SJAMBOK BEATS - I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling that kick. Sounds a bit too analog and a very boxy EQ on it. I also think it's a bit too prominent in the mix. While I do like the spacey, synth vibe of this, there's just a bit too much going on sound and texture wise. All the elements are cool...

    Beat Fight #419

    @JECHO - really cool use of percussion on this! The guitar lick you sampled is a nice match for the drums. I always like big and bombastic juxtaposed with soft and serene. This has a tribal quality to it, I almost though it was a @Leopard Cohen beat just based on the drums and percussion. I like...

    Beat Fight #423

    @DJ Excellence - that brass and low piano are soo dope! I really like the drums on this. In fact, I think your last few beats have all had really nice drums. Of course there's the quintessential boom-bap feel to them...but I also like the space. They sound like they're sitting in a nice spacey...

    Beat Fight #417

    @JECHO - like @Iron Keys said, this is the perfect beat to match Brawler's energetic signature sound. I like the industrial and gritty sound this has. I've never been a fan of 808s, let alone distorted 808s...but they suit this beat. There's an anxious and frenetic feel to this beat that's...

    Beat Fight #428

    @DJ Excellence - what an elegant intro! This is phenomenal! Dynamic, great sound selection. Arrangement adds to the emotion and movement as well. The strings bit during that little drop out....bruhhhh. This is masterful done. @Iron Keys - that synth bass goes hard! I don't typically like janky...

    Beat Fight #425

    @SJAMBOK BEATS - this is pure cinema! I think the kick is a bit too distorted and the snare lacks some 'snap/crack' but the drum pattern as a whole fits the beat well. Great sense of space and dimension on this. The transitions, while abrupt, kinda suit the beat well. The Evanesence sample is a...

    Beat Fight #411

    @SJAMBOK BEATS - intro sets a great tone! You carry that tone really well into the main theme (verse). I really like the drums and the metallic ring of the cymbals. That reversed little bit also helps to add to the atmosphere and vibe of the overall beat. There's a dope cinematic quality to this...

    Beat Fight #426

    @Iron Keys - lots of atmosphere and 'depth' established very early on. I'd like to hear some more release on those strings though. Regardless, there's a level of sentiment and emotion to this which is really nice. This reminds me of a mid-2000s beatmaker, but I can't quite place it. Could pass...
