The state of beat making in 2023
There's not a lot that can be done, people's tastes change over time. Hip hop culture used to be baggy pants and plain XXL shirts, now I see dudes wearing women's clothes and bright flashy shirts. Interests shift where the money goes. I will always say that I blame the southern artists for... -
Hiromasa Suzuki - High Flying (1976)
For me I've kind of figured out where the bass needs to sit with my Presonus e5xt monitors, despite having a moderately bad room and speaker placement due to lack of space (I had to put the speakers on a shelf above my monitor, which forces me to stand up to get in the right positioning). When...- iDeaLoGiK

Hiromasa Suzuki - High Flying (1976)
I like it on canadian tuxedo merits first and foremost, and is that a Nanimo bar I see? Sounds good though. I think out of anything the main sample loop is very short and gets repetitive over the course of the beat. There's a lot to draw from in the original that I feel you could use to your...- iDeaLoGiK

Hiromasa Suzuki - High Flying (1976)
Hah, I honestly feel like I was a bit lazy with it. I might change some stuff later, I dunno. Particularly the beginning three notes of the saxophone in the hook. *edit* Day later, should be fixed. Not much has changed other than the first three notes of the hook.- iDeaLoGiK

Hiromasa Suzuki - High Flying (1976)
Had some fun with this one last night and today, but I'm at the point where I can't be fucked to continue working on it so I'll call it done here.- iDeaLoGiK

Good luck everyone. Couple things I would have liked to have changed on mine, but being that I'm in vancouver and don't have access to my PC it's just gonna have to be what it is.- iDeaLoGiK

Beat This! Competition - January 11-12, 2023
Whoever made the long distance love beat made it hard for me to vote. I like the samples you used way too much to not mention it. I'm not sure whether or not its on theme enough though. I'm not generally a trap listener so I can't rightfully say it's not, but when i hear that beat I don't...- iDeaLoGiK

I'm Backkkk!
100% agree with 2good. It needs low end big time, and something to change it up. The sample itself although having some variance is very similar between the parts so it definitely comes across as repetitive. I definitely don't hate it though. The drums are nice, I like the variety of tones... -
Check out this dope producer with some of the sickest free beats!!
I'm going to give you a second piece of advice, which is directly relevant or a reiteration to the post you made in my "Violince" thread. Post ONE beat at a time. Nobody wants to listen to a bunch of beats and spend hours critiquing each of them to the level that would be helpful. What we're... -
Looking For You
I like the vocal harmony in the beginning, I think as a whole it sounds nice. I will say that the effects seem a bit too heavy for me personally when compared to the music backing them. I don't think it sounds bad, i just think a lighter touch would make it sound a bit less messy. I suppose... -
Violince (I did some serious rework to my last Beat This! submission and I'd like some feedback)
@ListeningJunkie Post individual beats in the showcase and I'll comment there. I'm not looking for spending 6 hours critiquing a list of beats because you posted something wholly positive on something I made. Let alone not posting it in the same place as I do. I know you have the beats posted... -
TAKEOFF
I really like the base slides. I really like the sweep up the scale with the piano as well. The percussion works with it well. As does the back and forth between the bass and the piano. Mix is pretty good. If I had any complaints about it is that the beat itself sounds pretty muted. Not in... -
Stayin'Alive Hip-Hop Remix
The mix is really all over the place on this one. I don't want to be harsh, but right from the get go its not enjoyable. The claps in the beginning stick out like a sore thumb, especially when they're taken away immediately. Then they're brought back and sit better in the mix, but almost...- iDeaLoGiK

The reality of takes and comping
Could be a bunch of things, stage fright being a big one. Could also be his voice coming in over the headphones. I still have a hard time with it. I need to hear it, but I also need to hear my voice outside of what my microphone picks up. I almost always shift my right can off of my ear... -
The reality of takes and comping
One of the most impressive tracks I've ever heard is even scarier than that. A-F-R-O & NGHTMRE's track Stronger. They went ahead and recorded straight to vinyl so not only did A-F-R-O have to do the entire track in one take, but the entire live band had to do it in the studio at the same time...
