SHOWCASE: May 11-18, 2025
@KomeKie Lots of improvement here from the last beat! The sample selection is cool and the main melodic phrase has a dope, chill/old school vibe. Nice little fills on the drums, and variations on the chops. It's a bit repetitive, but I feel like you put together a more cohesive beat here than... -
FLIP IT! Joe Sample - "Black is the color"
@2GooD Productions Love you went more funky with this. The bass/clavinet combo is deadly. The piano chops are a nice foundation to layer on top off. I think the only really critique is the sample isn't really the centrepiece of the beat. Nothing wrong with that. It's cool seeing people take...- BiggChev

FLIP IT! Joe Sample - "Black is the color"
@hosie Pure golden era vibes! The LP filter, short little piano chops and processing on them is great. You really captured the soul and general vibe of 90s golden era. The remix itself is really dope too. I think you chose the perfect song for the beat. If I didn't know this record, I...- BiggChev

Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"
@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 -...- BiggChev

Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"
@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...- BiggChev

SHOWCASE: May 4-11, 2025
@thekoolkrush Super soulful and smooth! I really liked the drums on this one. It has a cool combination of live drummer and programmed samples. In fact, the kinda loose groove and space is incredibly chill. The way the beat develops and grows around the vocal chop is also well done. The... -
SHOWCASE: May 4-11, 2025
@Tomblr Very soulful sample choice. The chops are cool. There's a lot of melodic information in there, but the sample is a bit quiet. I find normalizing the sample, after it's been chopped, is a good way to get the levels up. It takes some back-and-forth with normalizing, adjust levels, and... -
Rap today...
Jay Z is the anomaly and falls well outside the standard deviation of skill. While I do think he may carry some blame for this unfortunate trend...I think the real figurehead of it is Lil Wayne. He was the first person, in my recollection, who glorified 'not writing.' He was also well known for... -

@hosie Sounds like you had a lot going on. Firstly, I hope you've got that sorted and that you're taking care of yourself. Burn out is real and it isn't until you hit the pause button do you realize you've been running on fumes for a good while. Good on you for taking the time to invest in... -

@hosie Where you been? I could be tripping, but I feel like I haven’t seen you around. Listened to last couple beats you posted…still coming with fire! -
SHOWCASE: May 4-11, 2025
@JM. NYC, summer of the 1994. This is wicked smooth! You got all the hallmarks of soul and groove with this one. As mentioned, anything with horns catches my attention. Great beat! -
SHOWCASE: May 4-11, 2025
@2GooD Productions Your reggae track reminded of something I made about 6-7 years ago. The mix isn't great, but I recall being proud of this at the time. -
SHOWCASE: May 4-11, 2025
@Tomblr This a nice, chill beat. I really like the vocal chops. Flow from phrase to the next is good too. The choppy feel gives it that genuine boom bap feel. @2GooD Productions Growing up on dub/reggae, this one caught my attention right away. The drum intro and horns are great. I think... -
Rap today...
NYT did a little video essay about this “method” of recording. It’s a actually a good watch and explains the state of rap music these days… -
Sticky Show Your Setup!
Thanks! The next piece I want is the Audient EVO. It’s got JFET ins for guitar/bass and multiple outputs so I can easily sample anything into the MPC or Maschine. @2GooD Productions better get the lysol wipes out! -

Old video from last year.. ...sampled some random Mexican record I found at the weird little hobby store next door. -
SHOWCASE: May 4-11, 2025
@PhxAzTracmaster Body Cam: I like the dark atmosphere on this. Lots of attention to detail on this with the little fills, hits, and layering of the melody/counter melody. I would have liked that moogy/mono bass to have a bit more low end, but still cool. George Jetson: Even more... -
Sticky Show Your Setup!
I recently moved some things around in an attempt to streamline my setup. Having the ART and Scarlett is great for tracking either stereo or mono. I happened to be using the MPC this past weekend, but that spot on the desk is a floating position. I like being able to quickly swap out the MPC for... -
SHOWCASE: May 4-11, 2025
@2GooD Productions Remember: Love those phased out guitars! The horn lead is Sade fucking smooth. I really like the understated bass on this. Any louder and it would take away from the silky smooth vibe. You did a good job of weaving in several different elements without it sounding too...
