Brilliant. Quality beat, music rocks. Mix is fucking nice.
If there's anything I'd do differently, I found the master a little crunchy - would it stop me listening to it, no; in fact I actually ran it back. Great work

That's the kind of things I am trying to achieve: brilliant, man, really top! I like the change of melody by the middle of the song.

I love this - well done, keep on, keep "twisting again" !Here's the first beat that I'll show you guys, hope you enjoy!
nah the way you pulled out that bass was naughty. Sounds delicious
Yesss the synth lead. This is my kinda jam.
Brother, why are you not out here killing the battles.?!
I kept meaning to do these makey videos
1 Large Donner, please
Sounds like you're trying to summon Arvin.
But yeah, I fuck with this type of beat. Dope sample, dope drums, drums arethe perfect drums for this. balance is good, i think the low end needs a bit more juicyness tho
Great stuff Bandia
great sample, nice work at putting something to it. Definitely a cool record if get a vocal on it.Here's the first beat that I'll show you guys, hope you enjoy!
Mix wise, those hats need to come down in level, also feel a bit too bright comparitively to the rest of the sounds, lowring volume may help some way with that. But feels a little disconnected.
Actually, when you had your filter, bring it back in, there's a certain point the hats sounds real nice, so def try rolling off some high end.
Alternatively, you could keep them bright for contrast and to brighten up the record, but they'd still need to blend a little better.
Great stuff
Drope drums, I fuck with this. Could hear anyone from an east coast rapper, all the way to snoop or someone on this. cool beat.
On the chopped bits of sample, i think something could be adjusted maybe, in their tail, to land slightly more rhythmically. Just think they could slightly work a bit better with the rhythm
But seriously cool.

@BiggChev - Nice tune - dig it!
I have a similar workflow. Beats made mostly in Maschine and then mastered and converted to mp3 in Reaper. I used to do more mixing in Reaper but I'm trying to push most of the mixing back to Maschine to keep it as real as I can.

Thanks @Iron Keys - I'll need to look into the chopped samples / tails and see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback - appreciate it!

@S.o.T.A. - Dig the chill vibe and I agree with others - the mix is clean and punchy! I like the warmth/saturation on the W-Keys - that's the way I like them too for this kind of jam.
@Lightbackdrew
Thank you! Once you get a hang of the routing and maybe create a mix template in Maschine mixing can be a bit easier. Hell, back in Uni I used to do EVERYTHING in Maschine (write, arrange, mix, automation). I didn't have Logic Pro yet so I'd just export WAV to GarageBand then bounce down to MP3.
@Iron Keys
Really appreciate the kind words man! Please keep me in mind if you come across a sync opportunity. It's something a couple of my friends have been pushing me to get into. As for the battles...I really should be getting in more often. The themes are hard for me and I write very slowly. Maybe a resolution for 2025!

I was really wondering where this was going from the intro. Then that sub bass swelled up and I knew I was in for a ride! The drums on this go EXTRA hard and the sample is really dope. I really like the arrangement of this beat. Very nice!
@Lightbackdrew
Great sample choice! Anything with horns grabs my attention. The change-ups are nice and gives the beat a nice flow. Not sure if it's my Ear Pods, but that sub bass/808 seems to be pushing a bit too hard - or maybe it was a creative decision.
