    Beat reproduction advice request

    So you picked a beat that immediately starts with a sound you can't identify or produce? Sounds to me like you just don't wanna get to work. You could have even made the beat around the sounds you couldn't make. Stop lying to yourself and get to work.

    Beat reproduction advice request

    If you can't make the beat you can't make the beat. Pick something easier for you, or you can even make the beat around the missing sounds. Bottom line is 'doing nothing' is definitely not the answer.

    Would someone like to have a beat remake battle?

    Can be any beat just a few conditions: Please pick a beat you're capable of making because I don't want anyone getting discouraged and pulling out. Also obviously not something you've already done either. I will offer up several options of beats I've been thinking of remaking, you offer up...

    Looking for song name, song featuring James Brown....

    Yes, thank you!!! I knew it was a super common song as far as hip hop sampling goes but I have so much stuff memorized that I forget other stuff LOL.

    Looking for song name, song featuring James Brown....

    There's a song, I can't remember who it was. I believe it was a group of women. Around 2/3 of the way through the song it goes into a break beat and James Brown lets out a very Wilson Pickett-esque "uhh" sound.

    Beat This! Competition - December 28-29, 2022

    You should just make it like you need X amount of posts or X amount of time here to vote if that's the case. I mean the only people who would have a problem with something like that would be people who at best aren't interested in sticking around anyways.

    Pretty cool little "fake" scratching setup in FL

    Yes I need to throw scratch noises over the odd beat so let me go out and spend $8K on a pair of CDJ's and a mixer. Maybe while I'm at it I could buy an amp and a bunch of 15" speaker cabs too. Hopefully I never need any type of orchestral sounds because I don't think I'd be able to afford...

    Sticky Beat This! Theme Suggestions

    I agree. OG Bama you just have to really keep forcing yourself to buckle down and do more. I know it's super uncomfortable. I've been there and I still am many times when it comes to learning new things and applying them. I remember when I first started learning Reason, I'd literally be...

    What do you consider a great melody?

    Those are two that I consider to be. Notice both employ several techniques like letting notes ring out against choppy stuff, short runs that go back and forth. Like they're both perfectly interesting enough, not too much or too little.

    So you think you make beat covers huh? Show us what ya got!! Who makes cover beats?

    Here are a couple of my beat covers: This is just a couple bar loop of 'Big Brother' by Kanye West: https://vocaroo.com/1eesiZodnQwE Obviously needs work on mix as well as make the rest of it and putting rest of instruments. I'm kind of mad because I somehow misplaced the drums on the track...

    Pretty cool little "fake" scratching setup in FL

    Works best with a MIDI controller of some sort that has a knob/slider/rotary input. If not I believe it's still useable you just need to automate the knob that you link parameters to.

    Hearing Loss and Music Production

    I just recently started getting into the habit of listening/working with low volumes when the volume doesn't need to be high. Wasn't listening to high volume on purpose, just something that slipped my mind. I'd turn the song up to high level so I could hear everything better (especially when...

    Showcase - January 10-16, 2022

    Only complaints the instruments you started throwing in need to be a little more nuanced. They don't sound "real" and kind of stick out too much from the rest of the beat. Need to throw little slides and messing with filters etc on synths. It's a pain LOL. I would also drop that reversed guitar...

    How do I make a beat?

    Covering/remaking beats. It's like a hands-on, super in-depth study of making beats. You get tons of insight, practice applying things, start building libraries of presets etc. If you do your due diligence it's a good amount of work. You end up going through a bunch of effects presets etc and...
