    Just vote for mine, then.

    Beat This! Beat This! Competition - October 30-31, 2024

    Indeed. I really prefer the themed Beat Thises. Having a predetermined focus helps with the creative process.

    Definitely winning my first Beat This with this one. Definitely probably. Or not. But definitely.

    Almost like you've been visited by illienz.

    Not that I recommend this, but sometimes I hit up the old "beats" I uploaded here just to remind myself how fucking terrible I started off. Literally got a DAW and just started mashing buttons. I even picked a weird DAW no one uses (Serato Studio), but it has grown on me.

    Beat This! Competition - October 16-17, 2024

    I only used 3 decks for this one: drums (two kicks, snare, open and closed hats, loud echoey tap), bass, and a ragtime-y sample called "Foot Warmer" from like 1922. Kept the sampling cuts shorter (and less recognizable as the original music) and let the drums and bass stick out a little more...

    When in doubt, just vote for mine.

    Battle That! Competition - September 11-14, 2024

    About to wrap up #5 tonight (which will replace #1), so my 4 are good to go. So to be clear, I can use any of my 4 beats—or any other beat I want?—as the initial submission to basically "audition" to be included, and if accepted I'll submit all 4 for the actual competition. Accurate, @Fade?

    Battle That! Competition - September 11-14, 2024

    I finished #3, but think I'm going to replace #1 after all, so I technically only have 2 done now. Got a nice sample loop and drum pattern coming together for the next one, though. Been vibing out to it while I work.

    Already got 2 beats done done and 1 on the verge. I wonder how many folks will be able to have 4 ready to submit by end of next week.

    I think I know which one mine is too.

    Surprised we only have 10 entries for this one. Beat This usually brings 20+. Fewer entries = better chances for me, though, and I'm definitely good with that. :cool:

    Bass Loss on TV / Bluetooth Speaker

    Will keep this in mind. The beat in question (and a couple others with this issue) lean heavily on sub bass, which sounds fantastic but apparently is too low on its own to register properly on a gas-station-quality speaker. A little surprised it misses so hard on the TV but still registers on...

    Bass Loss on TV / Bluetooth Speaker

    Hey all. Made this beat a few days ago, and it's one of my favorites from among my own work. The trouble I'm having is this: it sounds the way I want it to sound on my dogshit $20 headphones. It sounds nice on my wife's slightly better-quality headphones too. Bass comes through with that...

    Click into the "Beat This! Sign Up Now!" banner at the top of the page. If you've entered successfully, you should see something like this, with the name of the beat you uploaded underneath. If you have not entered successfully, there should be some fields to upload your beat instead.

    Wasn't sure if I was going to have one ready for this battle. But I just got sure.

    Tough picking a winner on this one. Often there's a clear choice, but here there's just so many excellent beats.

    Four New Beats

    Hey all! I reached the point where I'm finishing a new beat every other day, and I'm much happier with my work than I was before. (Thank you to everyone who has listened to my amateur stuff and provided valuable feedback.) With that in mind, over the long weekend I put the effort into getting...

    This Means Waw

    New open hat, and I switched the double-tap from the second and fourth notes to the third and fourth (or made it single in a couple spots), so slightly different rhythm there, but I like it better.
