    What's the point in being different?

    I agree with you. It's just that I keep getting mix messages from different people around me. My brother also produces beats, he always thought that my earlier beats were two simplistic,repetitive and lacking in rhythmic complexity. This brought me down for a while. When I shared those same...

    What's the point in being different?

    I like music, I can't let it go. I don't do vocals and my instrumentals are usually designed not to get in the way of anyone who'd try to do vocals on them. I don't see why a more complicated instrumental would get in the way of any rapper who'd want to use any of my beats. Today I uploaded an...

    Those questions are ones that I'm going to have to live.

    What's the point in being different?

    I'm surrounding by people who would want me to make simpler sounding beats while being original and it drives me nuts. I know it sells and people have a tendency to listen to music with their eyes but, the easiest way to stand out seems to be by adding more complexity. What hurts me the most is...

    What's the point in being different?

    This is the realist shit I've ever heard all day. I agree with you 100%. I guess I'm just too much of a pessimistic bastard. Oh and agree with what 2GoodMusicProduction said able Hiphop culture. That's super real.

    What's the point in being different?

    Also, there is the problem of producers needing to eat. I know but, weren't the hip hop songs that used samples good? I think many of them are great and that's from someone who avoid sampling. Sampling seems to be a way in which the future speaks to the past in regrades to what was best, in my...

    What's the point in being different?

    I relate to the feeling. However, I need more than just that. I mean, is sampling of music really considered original? I think one can be original while participating in sampling but, people who are antagonistic towards hip hop might see things differently. They're folks who want rock music to...

    I guess I should have made my first thread here.

    Hi everyone Well, this section said introductions so I guess I should introduce myself properly. I'm just a beginner but, you guys can now expect me to upload at least 6 instrumentals a week and they'll be of a better quality than the two first instrumentals I have uploaded. Making a chord...

    What's the point in being different?

    I try my best to create music that at least sound unique in the moment but, I've always doubted that people really want to gravitate to anything different. I'm not claiming that my music is the most unique sounding that there is. My instrumentals are original but, they're still grounded in a...

    I see a lot of fire beats in this thread today. They're all very short but, that's a discussion for another part of the forum. Check out my attempts at doing so hip hop beats. If you like them, it doesn't hurt to share them and click like. So here is Legacy and Papa Street Sweeper. Also, check...

    A beginner's question (or questions) about music theory

    You do seem to understand theory as much as you are good at playing by ear. Since you do improve, is it safe to assume that you also do Jazz? Extensions are common in that genre. Do you use tensions/extensions in your music? If so, how? When I use extended chords in my progression, I derive the...

    A beginner's question (or questions) about music theory

    Being able to play by ear is an incredible skill to develop and I'd like to be able to do it one day. Do you have perfect pitch?

    A beginner's question (or questions) about music theory

    I don't use plugins to make my chords but, most of my chord progressions are based on my understanding of music theory.

    Showcase - September 23-29, 2019

    The beat sounds okay to me. It's of a higher quality than anything I'm producing at the moment. The chord progression loop is simple which isn't what I'd go for but, it works and that's what people usually go for; simplicity. In response, I'll share one of the first instrumentals I created,The...

    A beginner's question (or questions) about music theory

    Hi everyone, This is my first post on this forum and since this is the music section, I think it's appropriate to post this thread here. I don't know if it's okay to ask a question about basic music theory concepts; if it isn't, I apologize in advance. It's just that there has been an issue...
