    Beat This! Competition - December 18-19, 2024

    Congrats @K-waz. I forgot to enter because I had a really busy day at work and came back home too tired to submit but I immediately knew that was your beat when I played it because I listened to the 2023 Christmas Beat Tape Compilation on Band camp. And yes, I'm on there too. ;)

    What WAS your typical setup?

    Man. I didn't know the SR-16 was that popular back then.

    What WAS your typical setup?

    Aw man. I just sold it a few months ago. If I spent more time on it and didn't buy other gear, I would have kept it for a little while.

    What WAS your typical setup?

    I technically started with Magix Music Maker and Audacity. I just recorded from my mother's Triton Le keyboard into Audacity and put together loops I found on Magix. I did try to create a Rap song based off the book Kite Runners in High School. I ended up doing it acapella because they...

    I don't understand the concept of live beat battles

    I mean if the beatmaker has an MPC One/Live 2/X, SP-404 or any other samplers, they could just play their beat but add finger drumming or play effects live like reverb or echo to make the beats more interesting. That's why I got some of the gears I have. I don't like standing around doing...

    Is Diddy going to prison?

    They're were a lot of suspect rap lyrics that did give us clues but they all flew over our heads. We got distracted by the beats.

    Production In The Lab: Are You Afraid To Sample?

    I recommend the book "the Art of Sampling" by Amir Said. Really dope book that talks about the History of Hip-Hop sampling, different techniques and the legal issues surrounding it. Last time I've read the book, I think the author explained that producers can argue the case of Fair Use in their...
