    Can't say I've ever seen you submit bad music.

    This is the 4th of 4 tracks I'm making that all use the same core instruments. I used master compression on all the other tracks but NOT this one, but based on what you've said, I think I just overthought it. Will work that into the final version and play around in the other areas you mentioned...

    TBH I think what happened is you and @V.J. Retro stepped on each other's votes. Both very solid beats with a similar energy and powerful bass. I'd bet if only one of you entered, that beat would have ended up top 5.

    BTW, please tag me in this post so I don't miss it. This is definitely a point of interest for me.

    I joined this forum on like day 2 of trying to learn music production, with no experience and no formal education, just a little bit of natural singing talent and taste in several different styles of music. I gravitated to a hip-hop forum mainly because I was really feeling A Tribe Called Quest...

    Sounds like shenanigans to me. Who does this Fade character think he is, anyway?

    In this case, I came across the challenge when there were only a couple days left, but I already had a synth-based track in the works, so I finished it up and made a 2-minute version for Beat This. I've found my approach is heavily mood-driven. Like sometimes I just want to make a house type of...

    Tough pick for me between two :fire: beats today. @Iron Keys when results come in, I'm curious if you think mine even hits this genre or if I should just resign to being an EDM guy like my name apparently suggests.

    Thanks, man. I ended up softening the snare a little after the competition. That was the only part that bothered me listening back on it.

    This time, @Iron Keys, I knew your beat was your beat and it was legit my favorite. Loved the bass and the touches of groove organ in particular.

    Just vote for mine, then.

    Indeed. I really prefer the themed Beat Thises. Having a predetermined focus helps with the creative process.

    Definitely winning my first Beat This with this one. Definitely probably. Or not. But definitely.

    Not that I recommend this, but sometimes I hit up the old "beats" I uploaded here just to remind myself how fucking terrible I started off. Literally got a DAW and just started mashing buttons. I even picked a weird DAW no one uses (Serato Studio), but it has grown on me.

    I only used 3 decks for this one: drums (two kicks, snare, open and closed hats, loud echoey tap), bass, and a ragtime-y sample called "Foot Warmer" from like 1922. Kept the sampling cuts shorter (and less recognizable as the original music) and let the drums and bass stick out a little more...

    When in doubt, just vote for mine.

    Battle That! Competition - September 11-14, 2024

    About to wrap up #5 tonight (which will replace #1), so my 4 are good to go. So to be clear, I can use any of my 4 beats—or any other beat I want?—as the initial submission to basically "audition" to be included, and if accepted I'll submit all 4 for the actual competition. Accurate, @Fade?
