[Fade]

The next competition will be from June 3-4th! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on June 3rd at 12pm ET, and end around 8pm ET, or until we have enough contestants (whichever comes first - depending on the theme). Voting will be for 1 day, on June 4th, where the results will be posted the same day.

*Note: The signups will be at 12pm ET from now on.

*Note: check out https://time.is/ to find out the correct time difference for your timezone.

The Signup page is here (it will open up on the signup day)​

Theme: SAMPLE FLIP
Time Limit: 2 MINUTES

• You must make a beat by sampling "Nautilus" by Bob James.
• You can download the MP3 here or check the video on Youtube here.
• You can do whatever you want to the samples, just as long as we can tell it's from the original song.
• You can have vocals all throughout your beat if you wish to. Movie talking, scratching, rapper vocals, etc.

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Voting

If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned.

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favoritism when voting.

Rules

If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

Plenty to work with here, and vocals allowed too. The plot thickens.

That's it. There's so many beats that were made from so many samples in this song alone. No excuses!

Im using some of the classic chops myself.
if this was 1993 my beat would already be considered dope, but its not 1993 hahahaha

Well I picked Nautilus because I made a beat the other day with it so I figured it would be good for Beat This. I'm going to do a beat breakdown video of it this week plus I'll use that video to promote Beat This as well. Should be fun.

a good idea to tie it all together

 

[YannFer]

Wow. That's a challenge. Vocals huh.

I have to say, I tried flipping this years ago and had all sorts of trouble with it. FL Studio makes manipulating chops so fucking easy, this is starting to turn into a banger.
If you havent got FL Studio and you make sampled boom bap, get it, yesterday!!!

 

[Fade]

Just came across this. Maybe you guys could try using some of this?

So you're all set then.

 

[Armani]

So you're all set then.

Nah man I said I made the beat 2 years ago. 2 years ago I was 14

btw whaddya mean we can have vocals? like we can put a whole verse on this one?

So you're saying your 2 year old beat is shit?

Yes, put whatever vocals.

 

[Armani]

So you're saying your 2 year old beat is shit?

Yea. I mean there were a few beats that I put tens of hours on making and they are still dope. like there's an rnb beat I made ... 3 years ago exactly. it's still in my favorites. but Even that beats drums sound... raw. you know? everything sounds stiff on those beats.

Yes, put whatever vocals.

 

[Fade]

And since you can have vocals and it's only 2 minutes, I suggest everyone nix the long-ass intros.

 

[Armani]

@Fade I spent too much time on this beat + on making our discord even tho I have exams, so by the time this battle comes my stuff will probably be confiscated . so is there any chance that I can send the beat now? It's a winner.

 

[Iron Keys]

I already see the next Drill hype beat winning this one

 

[Iron Keys]

You could probably make a whole album off this one track.

 

[2GooD Productions]

Im all done for this, now just the wait.
