    Showcase - February 20-26, 2017

    @Matt-D 1st one, long-ish intro, but when the beat drops, so does the head, nodding to it right now, soulful and thick stuff here 2nd one, did you actually play the drums here ? this one seems less tied together, I wish the drums would change a bit along the different sections, I don't think...

    @Beautiful Noise very basic, oldschool, reminds me of the raw 90s stuff, it's pretty cool actually @Marc Duncan Well put together, not a big fan of the synth sound, maybe too forward. Not a big fan of the style but it's well done. Maybe try and get the clap/snare more upfront @HouseOfBeets...

    Albums vs. EPs

    I don't know about others, but for myself, an album will always be where one can really go all out musically and tell a great story. EP are good for promo and get your name out there, but as an artist, I wouldn't see it without doing any albums, albums are important milestones in music, EP is...

    Thanks @Klypse actually the 3rd beat was composed without any acapella in mind, as a "standalone" track (it'll my my first album's 1st track actually ;) ) if you want to hear it:

    @Chad nice and laidback intro, the strings sound a little flat. Musically, it sounds like it's well composed but I'm not sure about how all the sounds work together, some of the sounds sound a little on the cheap sides (oh those strings), like some presets or something. it's too bad, cause the...

    @anarchos I like the main instrument a lot, the overall atmosphere, drums evolution, it's pretty cool. but it does feel kind of empty at times, maybe a discrete pad in the background to give emphasis on certain parts. mixing wise, the main instruments is a little too forward, but maybe it's also...

    @Matt-D you got me with the Rhodes, nice chord progression, small sounds, man don't get it the wrong way, but I think our styles sound fairly similar, it's fresh, original, deep, complex, inspiring to me, a lot. This is the kind of sound that I love to hear, it's pretty unique, not one of those...

    @NONONSENSEBEATS let's get funky: I like the general atmosphere, but the sample tends to get annoying after a while, maybe a few cuts or at least modifications of the sample would be nice and let the beat breathe a little more. I think at times the sample overshadows the rest of the track, that...

    Hi, it's been a while since I've posted here, I've been busy as hell, currently working on my first official EP, and glad to announce I've finally found a label to help me put my music out there ! I can't wait for the first release <3 anyway, here's a beat I've been working on, followed by my...

    Music of Essence is Importan

    Well, the industry does what the industry does. it's up to us, as in you and you and I, to do what we feel we should, rather than "sell beats" for a quick buck. Do popular stuff because it sells. While I agree on the general idea, it's not the industry's fault, it's ours. Deep and profound...

    Hardware Synths

    I haven't been around for a while (still doing music tho), I just did some video of some things that happen when recording a track. I'm not saying it's impossible, but good luck recreating this on software. The interface of a synth itself is a source of inspiration.

    Hardware Synths

    Edit, just uploaded a new version with a quieter kick :p so I've used all my 3 synths here Alesis ION (virtual analog, hardware, much like a nord lead, but different sounding, lots of patchability here too) Pad #1 (main pad) is a very organic patch I've made, two cascading filter, multiple...

    Hardware Synths

    working on some 10 minutes piece right now that would just be impossible on software, it's all build on the instant, the tonal diversity along the track. going modular too, the first modules are coming in monday, can't wait! korg minilogue is coming in too, much sooner as expected (I got told...

    @Solo takeoff, great intro, nice beat, I like your textures, with the vocal samples and pads and all, nice bass too XLVII, nice feel right away, very jazzy smooth, harmonically sound, it reminds of some old stuff from the old common albums, very soulful. nice scratches too, is that you? or are...

    Is warming up your studio monitors a myth or true?

    not sure how much of a difference it makes in the end, I'd rather create than wait. won't turn an average producer into dr dre magically tho, I've tried <3

    Hardware Synths

    I had to learn a few things on how it works and whatnot, also got myself a triton for cheap, so I wanted to create at least one patch before recording. so here you go: The high main lead sequence is done with the ms20 mini The moog does the main bass sequence and the main mid lead The moog...

    hahaha hardboiled! you got me on the cheesy westcoast stuff, guilty as charged. I was a teenager during the 90s, cheesy west coast stuff is what got me into hip hop in the first place. I'm a big fan of cheezy stuff actually, if you listen carefully, my stuff is full of cheese. I don't know why...

    I promised I'd give feedback on last week's beats, but I couldn't reply to the thread so I'm giving it here instead, I hope it's ok @tomkillsjerry buy sundown: as usual, great and intricate stuff, what I like is that all your sounds are on point, always, so your beats flow very smoothly. great...
