    @producervibes: Loved the drums sounds and drum programming on this one. Tbh, I didn't really like the melody/composition it didn't sound hip-hop to me, more like something I'd hear on late-nite informercial, no offense. That Migos you did was fire! Mix was point and the subbass was excellent...

    @Beautiful Noise: That beat was sick! If I heard that one an album I would've thought it was a Premo beat. Nice drum samples. @mod_m@tr!xx: I think you're off to a good start, the lead is good and the snap works, the reverb helps it take up more space. If it were my beat I'd do these things: 1)...

    Can I sample downtempo(trip hop) to boom bap?

    Of course you can! Like dude above me said, how good the flip will sound will all be dependent on the initial tempo of your sample. I personally wouldn't but you should do it few times and see how it sounds.

    how do you feel about sampling mp3s?

    I think ripping Vinyl as WAV files is optimal but you can find pretty high quality mp3's too. I use Vinyl 95% of the time and use mp3 if it's some rare shit. The compressed nature of MP3's turns me off to using them but let's be serious, most people can't tell the difference lol It's not that...

    I think you're confused. The purpose of this thread is to provide feedback for beats, not feedback on people's feedback. And somehow I'm the one who's high when your the guy who's posted about 15 posts discussing everything but the beats in the thread that specifically about discussing beats...

    @Erik Love the sample selection and the way you chopped it up. I sample too and for some reason I can never chop vocals well. My only criticism of the beat is that I felt were too far back in the mix. Personal preference but I feel that the drums you selected were good but I wanted to hear them...

    @hardboiled Normally don't like video game samples but you did a good. Love the hi-hat pattern, the rolls and velocity give the track a lot of energy. I think you need a better snare would cut thru the mix better though. @Chef M!KE DB: Not much to give in terms of improvement. I liked it as it...

    Deemitri: I like the melody and the overall vibe of the track. The kick is way too loud to my relative to the snare and hats making the track feel out of balance. @Sheen Sheep: The beat was pretty good. Good composition. I think it would sound better with some trap-style hi-hat rolls. The...

    @Klypse: That sample was excellent! Felt the overall track was too short though. While the kick drum fit well, I felt that the snare too weak and could benefit from being layered, compressed more, and/or replaced. @dot. Liked the melody that you came up with. The concept of the song was good...

    Hi Everyone!

    The cat who ran it said that there was too much spamming(there was tbh) and that it was becoming to difficult for him to run it by himself. :( I'm glad I found this place and some like-minded cats!

    Hi Everyone!

    My name's D.C. the Kid. I've been making beats for about 2 years and I decided that I wanted to take it to the next level and go profession since 1) I love hip-hop and 2) I hate my boring job lol Since warbeats went down a while ago I've been looking for a new hip-hop forum and this place...
