    Warzone Beat Battle - May 20-24, 2025

    I really wanted to get in on this month's Warzone, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to get something I was proud of together. When I saw there was a bye, I thought maybe I should've just uploaded something. Thankfully I didn't submit a half-assed beat because there was some heat this month...

    @DJ Excellence Another great remix. The eerie, dark vibe if the beat is great! I feel like the only thing I ever comment is "great match, fits vibe, dope feel" but you do a great job of putting together remixes. I'm from that generation where we'd just slap any vocals over a beat and call it a...

    @Memento Beats Beats made to be rapped over are definitely very different pieces of work compared to stand alone instrumentals. You’re 100% right. They don’t need to be over complicated or incredibly detailed arrangements if the intent is selling to rappers. I commend you for figuring out...

    Fat Joe on today's hip-hop

    For real! Instead of getting “photocopies” of the greats; we’re getting photocopies of photocopies. I really dislike the wide majority of today’s “hip-hop.” This weird Xanax, Trap, Depressed, Gangster shit is very uninspired to me. Quite frankly it bores me.

    I try to break it up. I find waiting till the end of the week, sometimes you have like 20 beats to listen to. I also try to get my feedback in before the thread is closed - in case the poster wants to comment something back.

    @2GooD Productions Everything I’ve been working on this past week has been straight dog shit. It would be unspeakable levels of villainy to subject the community to it.

    @Memento Beats - Welcome back! Glad to see you still working on tunes! Tasty: I'll preface my notes with the fact that I'm not a fan of trap beats. That being said, this is a well produced beat. You have all the hallmark sounds (bells, mallets, analog drums). I like the details with the snares...

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    Such a cool piece of software. I started in Fruity Loops then moved to Acid Pro because sampling was such a breeze on it. It’s like $160, I figure I’ll give it a go. If anything, the loop library it comes with alone, may be worth it.

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    @M.I.ndless Nice setup. I was an independent contractor and bought a PC a couple years ago for work, now that I have a corporate laptop I’m thinking about just buying acid pro to fuck around with in that PC.

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    Getting out the box can be great. I have a few hardware synths, I like just goofing around with them sometimes. No Real intent to make music, just get a simple drum loop going on the MPC 1000 and go. If something sounds interesting, it gets sampled into the 1K. Looking forward to hear what...

    Sticky *** OFFICIAL *** New Boom Bap Comeback Thread

    Gave it a listen this morning. Better than his last batch of stuff. Not quite as good as Man vs. Machine. Glad to see him putting out more music though. The track with Red and BReal is dope.

    Nice! @konceptG I’ve been itching for one of these rack modules, but I know that’s a deep rabbit hole that’ll end up costing me more money than I’m willing to spend lol.

    Beat This! Competition - May 14-15, 2025

    Appreciate the feedback @Iron Keys I’ve been trying to work on my mixes and did the whole “mix into the limiter” thing this round. What I’m struggling with is getting the spread between RMS and Peak smaller. I changed up my drum bus and NYC comp process too. I’m trying to get a “louder”...

    @hosie - Listening back, I guess it wasn't too far out of my wheel house. I made an effort to not use guitar on this lol. As for the instrumentation, that was also part of the decision to abstain from having guitars be the focal point. Appreciate the feedback as always! I noticed some newer...

    Beat This! Competition - May 14-15, 2025

    Congrats @iDeaLoGiK - This beat has a sick groove! The small little drum variations, fills, and transitions from one section to the next were super smooth and seamless. I particular like the two horn phrases in the back half. I think the mix on this was very well done too. I had to listen back a...

    @Wesbeats Picked a tough week to get back into it. There is some fire in here! At this point I don’t even care about winning, just very curious to I see which one of these fire beats takes it.

    @PhxAzTracmaster I’m excited to hear what your new stuff sounds like. I went in a different direction with this one. And for the record my stuff sounds like @Iron Keys dry f**ked my Logitech speakers.
