    Finished Beat It Up! - Battle #65

    Beat 1 has a nice UK Grime feel to it, tho in my opinion needs work to get glued together. Beat 2 sounds good, but the sample is overly distorted for my taste, and in some parts the elements are all over the place without a musical anchor. Beat 3 sounds good as well, tho there's something off...

    It's 2019 - who's still using MIDI?

    Totally! You can map fader position and turntable speed and direction to stuff like color change, rotation, zoom, clip change, etc in those VJ Software's. Even if you put some work in it and install some plugins yourself and configure em you can do that with some of the free VJ Sofware's or free...

    I dig this. The sample fits perfectly. I like it like this, what I would have changed is the bass. I would have added an Upright Bass or the sort to keep the vibe and glue it all together.

    lol I hear ya. The MPCs are great Midi Sequencers. There are tons of great deals in Craigslist and the like about old Midi Modules, E-Mu, Roland, etc, for virtually nothing. And you get TONS of cool and old school sounds. I'm always on the lookout for those. Hook em up to the MPC and instant...

    Finished Beat It Up! - Battle #60

    Hey guys thanks for the constructive criticism. I'm going back to basics, and trying find a balance and focus in those, after years of crazy beats. I'm gonna post a couple of those in these upcoming weeks. Also I'm not bringing the volume way up in Mastering nor over processing, nor over...

    No, I'm using Akai OS on the 1000. The 500 is a cool machine, the OS makes it super easy and super fast to program "natural sounding drums". Stepping up the tuning with velocity and stuff like that. I also set up the attack and decay to mimic "real drums". I don't like the swing on it tho. And...
