Mid 2000s/Timbaland Style Beat
Thank @Sole Element Appreciate the feedback. When I first started making beats, my friends and I spent A LOT of time trying to imitate the big names (Dre, Neptunes, Kanye, and Timbo). It was a fun exercise trying to make a beat in the style of someone else while also adding my own flavour... -
Mid 2000s/Timbaland Style Beat
2 beats in one weekend... ...I'm usually never this productive. Came across the boomy kick in my MPC storage and immediately thought of those mid-2k Timbo style beats.. This one went through several different iterations that were all scrapped before I got to this one. While I wasn't... -
NEW
Very cool! The Snare/Clap combo slaps super hard. Nice! Drums in general are dope. Lots of punch. I like the grainy texture and plucky sounds. Very interesting selection of sounds that all work together. Would like to hear some reverb on the piano though. Unique piece of music. Thanks for... -
The inside
Bass FAT AF!!!! Nice blend of 80s and Mid 2000s vibe. I have a soft spot for those DX/FM sounding E-pianos. The asymmetry in the drums is a nice creative decision. While it does work with this tune, I think having some points where it's a bit more straight ahead would give the listener... -
It's Cool | Moving On with Style (Slap or Prop)
Very well produced track overall! Dynamic, evolving with some clever and ear catching change ups in the beat. Thanks for sharing! -
Beat with Hook - Now They're Gone
Really like that layered Clap/Snare sound. Orchestral/Cinematic type beats always resonate with me. The hook is cool too! Catchy and the quality of the voice is nice. I would like to hear the kick punch through a bit more in the mix. A little side-chain compression could help with that and... -
These from a couple months ago...
Power: I really like the percussion. It builds and fade very nicely, giving it almost a cinematic quality (in terms of dynamics). My only point would be, there seems to be a BIT too much going on at some points. As others have mentioned, a good mix would help 1) isolate the elements and have... -
MPC 1000 + NI Kontakt
It's been a while since I've used the MPC so I decided to dust it off. This was a new work a workflow I haven't used before and it was a lot of fun. I had some drums on the CF card that came from the previous owner. Started with a simple drum pattern then thought "where can I go with this?"... -
X-men 97 sample
I agree with @InsideOutBeats the sample is tucked a bit too far back in the mix. Drums got a good vibe. Love the overall gritty aesthetic of this beat. Sometimes, go back a day or two after and attempt to re-flip the same sample. I think you could squeeze out some more cool ideas and... -
Chrome2
To follow on @2GooD Productions The mix needs some work. I really like that bass tone, but it's very high in the mix. This may be a function of it being in stereo rather than mono. Some mid side EQ and/or sidechain compression would let it sit nicely in the mix without sacrificing punch or... -
FLUTE (a beat I submitted to a beat battle last year, recently remixed to have less dust)
Great panning on the toms! I love hearing drums/kits "in a space." The sample is nice an gritty with some cool chops and transitions. Also like that you used some creative panning to provide ear candy. I'm personally not a fan of 808s being used as basses. A distorted bass guitar or slightly... -
Friday the 13th beat
Lots of atmosphere in here. I like the metallic sounding hits with delay. I may be crazy, but that bass is a BIT too loud. May be worth doubling it so that way you get the weight and rumble of a sub bass, but something with a mid range tone so you get the harmonic quality of it too. The only... -
Oh It's You
The drums are a bit too stiff. Swing and Some variation on velocity on the hats would help to give it a more flowing feel. The issue with micro-chops is that they can get a bit TOO busy - such as the case here. All the chops are great, and they fit together. Maybe a slower tempo or pitching... -
fuck yo type beats
Drums are gritty and have a ton of groove. I like how you used the horns sparingly at first. The little stabs add a ton of groove, but leave enough space for when the longer loop/chops come in they have meaning. The bass line fits nicely, would've liked a more organic, electric bass tone for... -
Made these a year ago
This is MENACING! You changed the bass patch too? I think the melody/piano is FAR more emotive at this tempo. Curious to hear what you think about it at this tempo? -
Please Warm My Weiner
Getting some heavy RJD2 vibes of this! The layering of samples is what really brings this to life. I do like that you went back and put some strings in there to fill out the sonics and give the ears something to follow in the background. Great blend of synths, samples, and instrumentation. -
Final Battle
Always a fan of cinematic approach to hip hop. The melody and harmonies are a great base for a story telling beat. That guitar line is also amazing, especially the way you introduced it. The change up that starts at 2:02 is cool too. I don't care much for that synthetic distorted guitar, but... -
hard / jazzy / unique 90bpm
Definitely unique. All the elements are good, but I think this serves more as a "proof-of-concept" rather than a functional beat. I can see it as an outro of a song or interlude between two story telling type tracks. As always, you keep pushing limits and trying cool new things. Respects for...
