    Warzone Beat Battle - June 21-22, 2024

    Next Warzone should require that everyone sample that track.

    Beat This! Competition - May 15-16, 2024

    Honored you'd suggest someone as green as me even has a style to speak of.

    Beat This! Competition - May 15-16, 2024

    Burned my ears a little listening to all that :fire: in the submissions today.

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    I have a track I'm working on right now where I love the way I have cut up the sample. Like I walk away from the project and hours later I'm singing it to myself. Makes me happy. I go to do the bass and I'm tearing my hair out. I laid down a bass line last night, and I like the way some of the...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    Samples, drums, basically everything else, I feel I do a decent job with arranging the notes/cuts but fall short on mixing. Mainly a matter of learning and improving on all the settings that go into that. But man do I struggle with bass on an intuitive level. No matter what I do, it doesn't...

    Scroll up a few posts. I linked the original in this thread.

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    Love it, especially what you did with the "Oh" sample and the drums. (And did you pan the bass?)

    Oh It's You

    Thank you. Will play with compression on my kicks in future beats to see what I can make happen.

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    Yes, please. I use Serato Studio. Let me know what I need to send you.

    Oh It's You

    Thank you for the very specific advice. This is definitely the stuff I have found the hardest to get—putting together the right mix of settings and effects to blend everything just right. If you listen to some of my earlier beats I put up on here, you'll see I have come a long way in this area...

    Oh It's You

    I know I've listened to some of the others, but as for Tribe Called Quest, I listen to about 40 hours a week. Definitely one of my favorites. Thank you very much for the encouragement and for taking the time to listen and write all of this up.

    Oh It's You

    Hey all. Been quietly working on my beats and trying to improve since the last time I posted here. Got a new one I'd like some feedback on. Was thinking about holding onto it for the next Beat This, but I'd rather ask for feedback now and work on another one for the competition. (Question...

    Beat This! Competition - April 17-18, 2024

    I'm sooooooooooo new at all this but want to give it a try. I've laid out the vocals I want to use and have started to build drums for it. A little busy this weekend, but I hope to get this done in time for the competition. If my song turns out weak, oh well. The practice is worth it. I get...

    Roast the New Guy

    This is probably going to be what I explore with my next beat. The default pack is fine and all but I could use some new sounds.

    Roast the New Guy

    Thank you so much for all of this. I've been listening to hip-hop since I was a kid, so I'm familiar with sampling and know the first four beats don't have enough. I've just been enjoying composing things note by note as I've gotten accustomed to using a DAW. "Blunted with the March Hare" has...
