    Database of acapellas?

    Voclr.it can be a bit hit and miss. Some of the tracks are low quality, censored and have imprecise BPM readings.

    Database of acapellas?

    PM me for a Google Drive folder of rap a cappella tracks. Otherwise, search Discogs for the terms "a cappella", "a capella", "acapella", "acappella" and more because a lot of releases with them have the word misspelled.

    Showcase - July 2-8, 2018

    Let me kick this off with a little beat tape I've put out recently:

    Really need the sound effect on NF by No Name

    His name is NF, not No Name. I don't know where to get the exact effect, but the tail end of one of those corny stock gunshot sounds might do the trick, preferably if it sounds really "hard" like a revolver or shotgun.

    @RizzakBeats Your beat is pretty good, but the main thing I could suggest would be to add reverb to the snare and hi-hats. A harder snare sample would improve it too. Kind of unfortunate name, as the tag sounds like it's saying "RZA beats in your ear"... I apologise to the members who posted...

    @DEEZ BEATZ That's one quirky beat, sounds like you challenged yourself a lot with this one. The MC is pretty clever, but I think this joint deserves a remix with a more conventional beat simply to make it more accessible. What's his full stage name? The player cuts it off. @C4NTK33P5T1LL I...

    Beat This! - June 6-7, 2018

    It is where you put it, but all the beats get randomised with each refresh.

    @Matt-D I've heard that sample at the beginning somewhere. The problem with your video is that the patterns don't lead into each other very well, even if it was meant to be a sampler. The vocals from the beginning don't go well with the later parts because they're in a different key. The loops...

    Warzone Beat Battle - June 1-2, 2018

    You guys have some dope ass beats going on, I'm enjoying this a lot so far.

    Which DAW do you use?

    Just FL Studio 12. I don't think I'm going to switch or update any time soon because it's excellent for the job and I don't want to waste any time learning a new version in case they do another major overhaul. It's crazy how well it runs on a 2008 office PC with Windows XP.

    Mpc Studio

    Try out one of their MPC-style MIDI controllers if you can. I've heard that they often cheap out on the MIDI controller pads as opposed to the same parts on a dedicated MPC, but don't know if it applies to every model. Would the workflow on a Studio really be all that different than the 500...

    @tomkillsjerry You've got the atmospheric trap style down to a science, I respect that a lot. The reverb on that clap during the "verses" is insane (but good). I also like the vocal sample, fits the track well. At the beginning of the sequence starting at 2:08 along with 3:43, there's a loud...

    Idea for Snares

    Eh, could be good if you layer it over a normal snare. Anyone here got a glockenspiel?

    Digital piano gang... welcome and have fun, you've found the right spot.

    Question: Is this soley a hip-hop/boom bap forum?

    There's been a ton of trap beats throughout the last few years (in both battles and showcase threads) and we have quite a few users who are into that kind of beats, so don't refrain from posting stuff like that, especially if it's hard.

    @S3oulC1ty Wow, you're at it again! Still keeping the distinct style, still dope, I really admire your consistency. These chops are really clever and I like how the sample came out, did you take it in stereo? Yet another blend out, this time with an a cappella I had to extract by myself...

    Just a friendly reminder to clean your gear

    They're not hard to find, but I never found any stores selling them in bulk, so I have to pay the equivalent of about 5 bucks per can.

    Just a friendly reminder to clean your gear

    I just cover my piano with old rugs, works well enough. The speakers, computers and the turntable are a whole another thing... thanks for reminding me to get another can of compressed air, mine is almost dead.

    @producervibes That just made me want to tell you otherwise even more, but I really can't because this genuinely bangs. Sounds kinda like a mix between Nottz and Scott Storch influence-wise. The arrangement is spot on, with the piano-only parts to accent a few of a potential MC's lines and all...

    Warzone Beat Battle - May 4-5, 2018

    Sadly, I was busy during the voting process, but regardless, I want to thank everyone who did! After losing a couple of Beat This battles earlier, I knew I wanted to try out the other ones, so I took on Warzone and got surprised by the results, especially because I only sent one beat.
