LOL just introducing myself.
Three is my lucky number and 'E.1999 Eternal' is my favorite album (production wise) and the one that really made me contemplate the idea of making beats, hence '3ternal'. I've been learning everything to make beats, and experienced roughly 7-8 years. That however, has been over the course of almost 20 years of inspiration coming and going, and life getting in the way. And youngsters don't realize how easy they have it, there was no Youtube when I started out.
I'd like to think of myself overall a student of music. There are so many different things to learn between the music side, mixing, songwriting and arrangement, etc., etc. Over the years my focus went from learning programming within a DAW, to more emphasis on sound design, to now I'm getting to be more instrument oriented. Learning these new things kinda ties into the overall big picture, which for me is ultimately making great beats and songs, in whatever styles and genres I'd like to.
I've been around a long time, learning, posting on other sites. I appreciate feedback and am here to learn and help others learn, and shake the rust off.
Anyways here's first beat I'm dropping on this site. It's a flip although I didn't use much of the song I sampled from. In that process I luckily found some foreign acapella on youtube that fits the beat amazingly. No idea what he's talking about though. I realize it sounds good. I'm about 6 hours deep into it, but there's still at least about 2-3 hours or so of mixing I need to do. Just taking care of little details, cleaning things up too. It's nowhere near a finished beat yet, but you get the picture:
