    Appreciate the love! TWU, will definitely be on your list when you revisit it in the near future.

    Calling all the veterans

    Yo, I'd totally be down for a one off "group" battle. Vets or "Ill OGs" vs "Rookies." Maybe have the community vote on who represents the "Rookies." 5 beats each, blind, like the old Beat Fights in a YT vid. I remember KOTD did something like that a few years ago with Vets vs. Proving Grounds...

    Thanks for spinning gold out of what I thought was a dead sample. It's really cool to see other people put their unique creative process on your own music.

    @K-waz I think I got lucky both times. Really thought you had me in round 1.

    The Fog OST - "Tommy Tells of Ghost Ships"

    Every few months or so I get the itch to revisit Cubase. I absolutely loved in back in the day. I did all my sample stretching/chopping in Acid Pro then moved over to Cubase. Back then I wasn't really using it to it's full potential (I was 14 lol). Everybody I knew was mostly on Fruity Loops, so...

    @2GooD Productions I'd be down. I have a few orchestral loops that I've built out. Maybe I can send you some stems and have you work your magic on them.

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Thanks man! I kinda had "street fighter theme vs. Hans Zimmer score" in my head when putting it together. The general consensus last Warzone was that the beats were too "soft" so I wanted to capture a war movie type vibe. I know it was a bit left field for a hip-hop beat battle, but I figured...

    The Fog OST - "Tommy Tells of Ghost Ships"

    @2GooD Productions It's crazy how coming back to a sample years removed can generate such different results. Like @Fade I prefer the newer flip - but there's an underground vibe to the original that's undeniable. Both are dope and we're thankful for you sharing!

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    @Bandia Gotach I really like the dark, ominous atmosphere you established early on with your beat. The sweeping filter on the main line around the 0:51 helped to add some dynamics. I would've loved a more dramatic change up or maybe a half time feel (although I'm not sure a half-time would...

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Great battle. Congrats @2GooD Productions - your beat was my pick from your bracket. @Iron Keys I had a feeling that was your beat. I knew I was in trouble when we were matched up. All around some dope music this Warzone!

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    Some solid advice in here. I think it's an epidemic in modern music - especially considering near everyone has a powerful DAW and endless resources to learn how to get a pristine mix. Even in the world of metal and hard rock. I remember telling a friend how the last Metallica record isn't bad...

    The Importance of Drums

    Great post. I'm definitely guilty of just slapping a stock drum break on a beat, or throw together something simple to write on, then never go back and add change ups. I started working on a faux "live" drummer being sampled break last night. This post motivated me to go in and create...

    @BNNBMB Love the gritty old school vibes! Everything fits together really well. This definitely has a spot of my gym playlist.

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    This is why I'm hesitant to post sampled beats. Similar to you, my most played house track is heavily sampled and I'm just waiting for it to get flagged lol

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    @Iron Keys Thanks bro! I agree with levels. I listened to it the day after I posted and had the same thought about levels. Went back into Logic and adjusted them a little with a limiter on the master.
