Showcase SHOWCASE: March 30 - April 6, 2025
@Tomblr Great sample choice and even better chops. Love the groove and flow of this beat. It also looks like you're having fun hitting the pads - definitely comes through in the beat! @FOMO The into is really cool - I get some mid 2000s underground hip-hop vibe from it. That 808/Bass is... -

ReCycle - Now Free!
I honestly couldn't tell you when it got cancelled. Back in the day I used it to link together Cubase SX3 and Acid Pro -
Beat This! Beat This! Competition - April 2-3, 2025
I'm curious to see who's going to take this battle. I thought I submitted a banger, but I'm sure I'm getting blown out the water.- BiggChev

ReCycle - Now Free!
Yeah, I was surprised to see it was still around. Again, I never got into Reason (if I recall correctly they had an entirely closed eco-system for a long time). Considering Logic can open REX Loops, I figured I'd download and tinker a bit to see if it can fill a gap between Maschine and Flex... -
ReCycle - Now Free!
Came across this earlier today. I never got into the Reason ecosystem, but I did remember thinking ReWire was the most amazing thing ever. I'll give it a go and see how I can incorporate it into my current workflow of Logic and Maschine. -
FLIP IT! Special EFX - Plésance
"Big Fuckoff FX Chain" is my new fav music production term lol. I have similar issues with monitoring and mixing as you do. I write and mix most everything in my headphones. They're a good set of headphones but I also find they under represent the bass - so when I think it's sitting nicely it'll...- BiggChev

FLIP IT! Special EFX - Plésance
@iDeaLoGiK I really like the drums on this. The little fills and quick changes with the drums keeps the beat interesting. The two main phrases you came up with flow really nicely into each other and are super smooth - especially how well it flows into the outro. I would like to hear the bass...- BiggChev

Showcase SHOWCASE: March 30 - April 6, 2025
This reminds me of visiting my family in NYC every summer when I was a kid. New York in it's purest form! -
Showcase SHOWCASE: March 30 - April 6, 2025
@PhxAzTracmaster Love acoustic guitars! Layering them on the choir is great to add depth and more emotion. I can't figure out what that filtered stuttery thing is going on in the background (chopped up choir?) but it adds some cool texture. -
SHOWCASE: March 23-30, 2025
By more elements I mean; building out the harmonic and melodic quality of the tune. Adding more instruments, not too much, in strategic places to emphasis certain parts or make something stand out more. Even doubling certain chops in certain places can help to add rhythm and groove. Playing... -
Warzone Beat Battle - March 25-29, 2025
Congrats @Delta Skeltah I had a feeling your beat was going to beat me in the finals. @RJM I really liked your beat!- BiggChev

SHOWCASE: March 23-30, 2025
@PhxAzTracmaster Interesting. I really liked the first phrase. That sub/808/bass thing is fucking FOUL. Sounds like an 808 with a long release, chorus, and some distortion. Either way, that shit would probably rattle the screws off my car. The sizzling snare is cool, but I would have like... -
