    Xzibit - Concentrate (remix)

    Really cool man. It has like an Eastern European vibe which is hella unique. What's that faster/high pitch instrument called? The strings panned to the left are fire! My only $0.02 is that the bass gets a bit repetitive when head nodding but dope overall. Really clean sounding too. Great work here.

    I was feeling a bit depressed...

    Thank you man. This was one where I just felt like putting aside all of the fancy plugins, stick with proven sounds, and focus on emotion/storytelling. Happy to hear it's being received that way. & dude Paparazzi is one of my fav beats so that's dope. Thanks for listening.

    And this is what I cooked up when I had time to zone out: Welcome any and all feedback. Really tried to get the mix sounding clean while making it extra DUSTY.

    Fatality FIGHT! Battle #244

    This was the first trap-style beat I ever tried making. Was just a couple weeks ago and feel I've already learned a ton from these forums (i.e. I didn't know what sidechaining was when I made this).

    This was some of the best overall quality across the board since I've joined Ill. Props to everyone bringing the heat and pushing each other to always improve. Congrats @SwayeeBoogie on another W

    Dj Shadow/Run the jewels - Nobody speak (Jane Bjork Jensen remix)

    This is cool, def a style that's right up my ally. Some of the guitar hits sounded off to me. I think still on beat just threw off my head nodding. Might just be my hyper-whiteness though. Cool track. Great work!

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    ooof. But in all seriousness, this is a great point. "Don't let perfection get in the way of progress."

    Barbara Jean English - "You're Gonna Need Somebody to Love You"

    Curious, is there a best practice when taking that approach on how to run the sample... i.e. do you load the same sample into a sampler 2x and then each to it's own track on the mixer, or do you run 1 sample into 2 tracks on the mixer?

    Very smooth. Are those horns part of the OG sample or is that a separate sample?

    Pop/R&B/Hip-Hop Beat with Hook "Walking Down the Street"

    Call it a flip or a remix or whatever you like, but I decided to give a twist to a newly released soul song. Beat: Original: Welcome any and all feedback. I had fun with this so may try to keep this style going for a bit.

    Thanks @2GooD Productions @Mike Chief Do you try to target a certain RMS or don't worry about that?

    Barbara Jean English - "You're Gonna Need Somebody to Love You"

    Appreciate this. I think over the last couple weeks I've been trying to fuck around with too much shit. Thanks for the reminder that I really just need to make sure I'm doing the basics right and that there's no magic VST or preset.

    Appreciate it! Do you use a limiter on individual channel or the master (or both?)? Thank you!!
