Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

How you getting away with no copyright strikes ???

I'm avoiding uploading anything like that to soundcloud.

Only ever had 2 strikes on soundcloud, one for a midi remake of "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles years ago, and a recent remix I did of an Amapiano track that was in somebodies copyrighted mix.

@BiggChev Dope flip, I really like it. Sometimes all you need is a sample, a drum beat and a bassline.

@Mike Chief Dope flip by you too, I really like it a LOT. Hook is dope as fuck. Great work.

I remember logging into my EDM account yeaaaars later to several strikes - one track was actually no longer there, and one of my actual tracks had a tonne of plays where someone had picked it up and added to a playlist.

Surprised the account was still standing.

This is why I'm hesitant to post sampled beats. Similar to you, my most played house track is heavily sampled and I'm just waiting for it to get flagged lol

I'm feeling like I'm gonna chuck em up on YouTube, as I feel it's likely a lot more lenient and or leaves stuff up just demonetized. SoundCloud I'll save for fully composed stuff.

Tho I'm led to believe there's some weird copyright shit going on with YouTube where they will block your vid and say they don't want to get involved. Not sure.

Potentially got a few tings coming out soon, have provided a couple beats to an engineer peer who wants them for his rapper/project. They contain samples. But have it from a seasoned pro that clearing samples are sometimes a lot easier than it appears.

We'll see...

I think youtube is harsher than soundcloud. But don't quote me on that. I have had tracks that were banned worldwide to suddenly becoming available in a limited number of countries. I have some remixes that I cannot get ad revenue from(like I get ad revenue anyway) but they are allowed to be played.

Late on the draw, I was away at work but had this one in the back of my mind.
Havin a tough time with making another section to the beat. I picked through alot of the pieces of it that i like just for the one loop. Might come back to it might not. Enough to get the point across at least.

@iDeaLoGiK

This is great. I like that you picked out multiple pieces from the song. As you said, this is a cool proof of concept and it certainly does get the point across. I quite like the drums on this. What I particularly like about this beat is how versatile it is. I can hear it on a lofi/boombap playlist just as much as I can hear a major label rapper giving us a story telling track on it. The B-section doesn't need to be a crazy variation. Going higher energy may take away from the soothing soulful vibe.

@Wesbeats

The chop selection on this is cool. I think the drums and bass may be a bit overpowering for the vibe of the chops, but it's a cool concept.

Appreciate the feedback for real. I was trying to give the drums some extra presence to contrast the sample--but I get what you're saying. Might try a lighter touch on the low-end next time or let the sample breathe more. glad you caught the chop work though--that's where I really zoned in on this lol

@Wesbeats

Bass and Drums are two areas I struggle with a lot. Which is ironic as those are the two quintessential elements of hip-hop lol.

Lately, I've been thinking about bass in terms of weight. I've be incorporating it into my beats as something like a gravitational anchor for the music - with more importance on being felt rather than heard. At the risk of sounding cliche, sometimes 'less' is indeed more. It also varies with the vibe and tone of the beat I'm working on, sample selection and other influencing ideas.

While not entirely related to my thoughts on your beat, I remembered a video of Deadmau5 and Duda talking about how the bass was really shit on one of Deadmau5' tracks. Duda mentioned this concept of "waves of bass."

Respect man, appreciate you breaking that down. I like that idea of weight and anchoring--that's something I've definitely been trying to feel out more. Thanks for sharing the video.
