    Sample Flip! - Barbra Streisand - "The Way We Were"

    Thanks! Diggin your beat as well... I like the intro. I like how everything sounds a lil "off" until the drums come in... Good stuff!! Yea, I know it probably doesnt sound like a "traditional" sampled beat... Just starting to use samples, and gotta put my own twist on it by playing on top of...

    LOUDNESS

    I've been experimenting with some things, and I'm wondering... Are there any problems I could run into if I'm mixing things at a much lower volume than normal? I'm working on a beat for the sample flip section, and got the idea to leave the sample at 0, and mix all other sounds around it...

    Industry This Is How Hip Hop Producers Can Be Successful in the Music Industry

    Thanks for that... Most of the time I'm my own worst critic... So maybe that should be included in how to be successful in the music industry as well... HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF AND IN YOUR MUSIC!! (something I'm definitely lacking)

    Industry This Is How Hip Hop Producers Can Be Successful in the Music Industry

    Well my beats suck!! So I guess u can count me out... Lapdance was a pretty popular song, I always liked it... but maybe it was b/c I was into bmx back then lol I heard that song recently on a movie preview for some disney movie, I think... It was definitely an animated kids movie... Strange...

    I can't believe it either!!! I definitely thought you had this 1... For what its worth, it was still my favorite beat in the competition. Thanks man! "Banger" might be a bit of a stretch tho... lol I really didn't even think I'd make it into the top 5 after hearing some of the other beats...

    Also wondering... Do you use different software for mixing / mastering than the software you use for creating the beat?

    LOUDNESS

    This is some great info!!! I understand about the different frequency ranges... I feel like I mix all the sounds together pretty well, but I think my main problem is mixing everything too loud before I start doing any mastering... b/c like I said, everything sounds good playing through the DAW...

    LOUDNESS

    I need help... How do u guys get your beats up to the proper volume level without any distortion or clipping? I've read to start by keeping the levels of your tracks at zero or below, but I run into the problem of not being able to turn some sounds down low enough to mix with other sounds when...

    Attack of the Beats! - March 4, 2016

    Hey, here's an idea... You always refer to beats that you've made or are in the process of making when you're doing the reviews. Why not play a beat that you've made or are working on at the end of the show and ask people to post reviews for your beats on the forum?

    Attack of the Beats! - March 4, 2016

    Haha... Just keep telling yourself that lol... But maybe if u just said something towards the end of the show about getting on the forum and posting your own reviews, it might help...

    Attack of the Beats! - March 4, 2016

    I enjoy listening to the show much more... I usually listen on my way home from work, its just not the same playing each beat and reading the review. I do see why u wanted to try it this way, to get more people involved in the forum... but to be honest I didn't really think "we" were supposed to...

    Beat This! - March 2-3, 2016

    @Bugsy Best beat in the competition, imo... Drums sound good, mixing is on point. Great beat! Good luck!! @Moaklee This beat is really dope... around 0:45 when that piano comes in... That's where the beat really gets going. @Stone Flacco Really digging the beginning of this beat... Would've...

    New to vocal samples

    @Bugsy Thanks man!! Thats exactly what I'm looking for... I thought about doing it "the old way," but that seems like it would be very time consuming... and I see that I actually have kontakt 5 already installed just never used it... Prob cuz I didn't know how lol

    New to vocal samples

    Ok. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it correctly... I'll download Kontakt tho, and give it a try. But just to clarify... If I take a piano chord for an example, that I've sampled from another source... I want to take that sampled chord and be able to play it on my midi controller, so I can play 1...

    Interviews A Native of Texas, Tomkillsjerry Talks Beats

    This is something I know I, myself, struggle with and I'm sure many other producers do as well... It's much easier said than done tho. Finding that balance will really improve the beats we make... It really makes listening more of a musical journey that keeps the listener interested, instead of...
