    This is good... I liked the guitar playing during the intro (Will Arnett?)... but it left me wanting more. I liked the simple melody and it worked well there. I was excited when it built to having a few more layers/sounds. It gave the beat more density without changing the tone/feeling. It...

    I like what you're doing with the kicks on these two beats. That shit's crazy!

    Lets not forget the forum rules. Post feedback when you post a beat. This is a discussion forum, not a place to hawk kicks and snares.

    brother.... "walk the line is dope... that hook got me feelin' a way. At first I wasn't really feelin the verse with the sample filtered out... but on second thought.... with a grimey emcee on there, i think it'll be a perfect fit. Leave a lot of room for the vocals, let the words do their...

    I'll set it off... here's a little something that I've been working on the past week.

    @TheRealAGE I like the sample... it's eerie, it's airy, it's kinda dark. Leaves room for that fat low end (which was mixed really well. Turned on the sub so I could check out below 80 Hz. Very clean, but still has life to it. A very current sounding beat, executed well. Here's one that I...

    It' cool... listening to all four you can tell that you have a style. There's a serious sense of continuity among those beats and at the same time, they don't sound alike. Here's one that I've been trying to get right for a few months.

    Bro, this is hella dope...The vibe, how you flipped it, the structure. It's subtle but makes me feel something. The only thing that's sticking out to me is the snare. It's a little loud. It's not noticeable with my sub on, but when I turn it off it sticks out a bit more. Take that with a grain...

    This is dope Agreed... pretty accurate track description despite the line "I can flow on anything from Primo to that Trap Shit". Here's something that I've been working on for a few months.

    @Antisocial I wish there was more I could say... this is just... dope! the drums knock, the sample is chill, the mix is good. Has that Golden Era texture to it... you definitely struck a bias there for me haah. Overall, it's dope and I can't think of anything that I'd change... now just go make...

    Mixing/Mastering in Reason

    Alongside technology changing workflow is changing and I have a question regarding workflow and mixing. I work mostly in Reason8 Using a MPK49 to trigger various synths and occasionally use a software sampler to flip some of my own stuff. As far as mixing goes... I kinda mix as I go. What I...

    The texture is dope, man. Lovin' the drums too. It all feeds together real nice.

    Oh my god, dude... this is dope as hell. Love the drums, love the sample. Kinda creepy, sitting back. Great description, too. Really spot on.

    @KDVS When the lyrics get quicker, try cutting back on the reverb. I think it will give a nice contrast from the intro. The reverb works well on the 1/4, 1/2, and whole note vocals. It gets muddier when things are sped up. Less reverb on the quicker lyrics might make it stick to the...

    You should give throwing in a big kick a try. I think that'll help it knock more.

    Really nice low end on this. Def shakes the place. The brass tabs could be better. They sound too synthy. Look for another kit, toss a little reverb on there, and maybe bring it down an octave. I think it'll match really nice with that really rockin' low end! Take a listen at this... Been...

    This is really close to being dope as hell. The sample is great, the arrangement is great, you're drums are just off. The snare is too prominent and the kick is sitting too far behind the mix. Give it some lows and bring it out a bit. Mix up the hats a bit more than just 1/16th note patterns...
