Love acoustic guitars! Layering them on the choir is great to add depth and more emotion. I can't figure out what that filtered stuttery thing is going on in the background (chopped up choir?) but it adds some cool texture.

This reminds me of visiting my family in NYC every summer when I was a kid. New York in it's purest form!

Decent beat fairly decent mix too.

The mix advice I will have is more nuanced stuff.

The guitar sample feels a bit weak, and a little disconnected from the low end. Not sure if you could push some more weight into it to help it connect. Also could be because it had quite a lossy sound to it.

Levels on the low end are fine, sounds are good, wondering if there could be more movement/groove to it has quite a flat feel to it.

Maybe could have grittied the drums up a bit.

Overall, nice beat and a good mix. Good work!

Cool af as per usual

Great groove, got me nodding my head. Love the freestyle sounding vibe.

Personally, I would bring the highs in the beat up a fair bit, would elevate the record. Not sure if it would detract too much from the 2000s 'mixtape' vibe, maybe it can still have the vibe bit still be a bit brighter.
Found some of the adlib panning a bit out of place, didn't really fit for me, or maybe i just didn't 'get it', but i might have tried sitting it back into the mix a bit more or a bit more fixed/gelled

As always, great stuff

I love the sad guitar loop! The song structure is very simple, but effective for a showcase like this.

Beat that I started back in October but never finished. Picked it back up and decided to finish it the other day.

Really cool beat. What sample did you use?

BiggChev · 2025-04-04T09:43:26-0400

@Tomblr

Great sample choice and even better chops. Love the groove and flow of this beat. It also looks like you're having fun hitting the pads - definitely comes through in the beat!

@FOMO

The into is really cool - I get some mid 2000s underground hip-hop vibe from it. That 808/Bass is wayyyyy too loud and distorted. Not sure if that was a choice or by product of the mixing. From I can hear with the sample chops, there's some interesting stuff going on, but it's hard to really hear anything over that massive 808.

@WHAT1000

I think you can really bring this beat to life with some mix/fx. Some reverb or delay on the main theme, bring down the kick a bit and layering some other instruments can take a simple melody and really beef it up.

FOMO · 2025-04-04T11:30:54-0400

tnx man! it's a choice but i apreciate, probably too loud
