    Warzone Beat Battle - August 11-15, 2026

    Thank you @Fade , @Armani , @Iron Keys , @Dodgy John , @DJ Excellence and @Wax Camp ! @Iron Keys - I like you're 'live notes' style of feedback - particularly how you decided to vote. @V.J. Retro - I liked all the elements of this beat - the chill lofi vibe, sound/sample selection, and the...

    SHOWCASE: August 9-16, 2026

    Pretty happy with how this came out. Especially because I was struggling with the sample at the start. Ended up with a late 90s/Roc/Grease type joint.

    That’s a sick setup! Thoughts on the SEQTRACK? I was pretty impressed with the launch videos but couldn’t justify another sampler/sequencer. How thoroughly are you using the Verselab? My understanding is you can basically write and arrange full tracks on it.

    Beat Fight #700

    @V.J. Retro I really like the sample and that early 2000s style flip. The scratches are cool and add a little extra flavour. The transition into the second phrase sounded a bit abrupt, but still works. Did you sample this from vinyl or use a vinyl sim on it? It's hard to tell if that...

    I love making beats on Maschine Plus (standalone) as well as the MPC 1000 (which I haven't used much lately). For me, I compartmentalize the music making process. I have the "writing" phase, "arranging phase" and "mixing" phase. Note, it doesn't always flow in that order. While I use...

    Banks And Hampton - "Passion And Promises"

    Real talk, I didn’t use it for years. I also didn’t pitch samples up or down much. I relied entirely on the time stretch feature, which I don’t use at all anymore.

    Banks And Hampton - "Passion And Promises"

    Yeah! It has 4 different SP engines. A standard one, and 3 with varying filters ( Lo, medium, Medium Hi, and Hipass)

    Banks And Hampton - "Passion And Promises"

    Thanks @Fade There are actually 3 layers to the snare. The one from the break I chopped - pitched down with the MPC60 engine in Maschine, HPF and tracked in stereo - lands exactly on 2 and 4. A mono snare that is slightly off the grid for a pseudo flam (all nudged off the grid by different...

    Banks And Hampton - "Passion And Promises"

    I struggled with this one... ...far from a complete beat, but I don't know if I can squeeze anything else out of this sample. Actually did the chops and additional instrument layers independently from the drums. Slapped them together with the simplest of bass lines just to have something.

    I feel like mine is fairly obvious. I’m almost certain I know yours and @P.A.T. There’s one beat that’s an absolute banger, but maybe less on theme than others. Curious to see the placements.
