    Warzone Beat Battle - November 10-11, 2023

    oh nice, I thought showcase and battles were separate. I'm likely stoned when on here.

    Kanye using FL

    Maybe this was known but thought it was cool and a reminder of your mind > your DAW.

    Hip Hop today

    good to know. right now he just keeps telling me "everything will be ok, precious" so I wasn't really too sure of next steps here.

    Fade told me if I win this next battle he'll let me out. He said this is all normal.

    Riots in the street...

    Thanks for the feedback my man. That reminds me that I should really use automation more often.

    Riots in the street...

    Fair points. I guess the way I look at is that every legal outcome is a representation of how the people making the decision and those making a case for/against interpreted the situation. The legal and regulatory landscape is very subjective, for better or for worse. That's why lawyers are...

    Bun B - Thats Gangsta (remix)

    Geez. Don't think I've ever pitched anything that much.

    Bun B - Thats Gangsta (remix)

    Drums are really clean and easy to nod to. Melody is cool and unique too. I like the brass that's low and panned to the left, adds a nice element that ties it all together. Solid work, sounds very professional.

    J. Cole - Once an Addict

    I like the beat, great 90s vibe. Like others said, I do think it's off at the end, maybe keeping just the melody and dropping the drums could be better on the ears, but not sure. Do agree with others that the FX used don't align with the lyrics, but that's fine it's a remix and you're trying...

    Cross Fade

    I like the simple drum pattern with a big kick on top of a more complex piano melody, makes it easy to flow to and a good head nodder. I couldn't really hear the bass well, but it did sound a bit low and muffled, so could probably have a better balance with the kick/bass, or get rid of the bass...

    Riots in the street...

    oh, yeah def. or I'm guessing you'd have to pay a lot to clear, or have whatever label deal with any lawsuits that come up if they decide to just use it uncleared on a for-profit release. likely a beat for non-monetization promo/non-profit use only or a free mixtape. I'm honestly not sure how...

    Riots in the street...

    Thanks man! Yeah, I tweaked the levels a bit to make room for the hip-hop drums (i.e. reduced the OG bass, some low pass on the chop I used for the low end, and band pass on the guitar loop). For the vocals, I chopped the "riots" line from the OG track to create a hook. I really only added a...

    Thanks for listening man.

    Riots in the street...

    ... it's a story! Well, what I imagine anyways. I could see a rapper really going nuts on this to push a message, tell a story, or just rap about all the chaos we're living through. Let me know what you think, if it's too much or not. "Riots in the Street" (make sure to stick around for the...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    I think what may make bass loops hard to sell and market is that bass is the glue of the track, so some buyers would likely need to build around the bass loop. I get that folks can chop it up but realistically most bedroom producers would load a plugin at that point. If you're marketing to...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    That's kind the approach I'm thinking right now. Just get the beats as many listens as possible. And then also I'm not really looking to spam out with leases, stick with exclusives and custom projects only. Try to distinguish myself that way (but will only work if my channel/beats gets some...

    Bass Guitar Loops - What do the people want?

    I'm actually working on a collab beat tape with another producer right now. Pushing it out for free so not to push leases or exclusive rights, rather trying to attract rappers. If someone like the beats, spit on them and let's keep creating great fucking music and then blast out finished songs...
