    Beat This! - February 15-16, 2017

    Now that it's over, I wonder if you guys thought my beat had enough horns. The original orchestra sample did, and then I added a Kontakt horn on top of it.

    Thanks for the props on my beat, and yeah I was trying for a Primo/ Alchemist type track. :) @Matt-D: I guess you took the beat down for now based on what B Noise said. I'll check it later. @Marc Duncan Even though these aren't my style the beats are well put together. The Kendrick beat is...

    Have to go to work, so I'll get around to everyone's review later tonight. HouseOfBeets, I like the instrumentation of the beat, 808's could knock a bit harder.

    Anyone know of any good horn plug-ins?

    That is true. I'm a music novice, but I've always wanted to make beats that sound like soul samples or at least mix in elements that match the sample. And it was really hard for me to get the sound exactly. I can add whatever distortion, reverb, vinyl noise, wobble the mod wheel, etc but you can...

    Anyone know of any good horn plug-ins?

    Straight Ahead Jazz Horns came out a few days ago, a collaboration between Impact Soundworks and Straight Ahead Samples. You can use this in the free Kontakt player by the way. https://impactsoundworks.com/product/straight-ahead-jazz-horns/

    I got the Aurelex isolation pads a month ago with my studio monitors, they are quite good.

    @Kod4R: I like the sample. The track is missing a bassline, or at least needs one to support the bass from the sample itself. @J-Hershey: On "Cosmic Ride" I like the drumsand the ideas of filtering the sample as you go along. The faint horns that come in after 16 bars are too faint, they could...

    Sticky *** OFFICIAL *** WaveFormz Hip Hop Radio

    I listened to episode 70 last week and it was dope. Nice to hear good music again.

    Okay a lot of feedback gotten on the "Opening Words" beat. It's supposed to be an album intro so in my mind it has this long intro with a lot of talking in mind. I do agree however that maybe I should build the beat up more so it's more impressive when it drops, I tried that by mixing up the...

    Okay, I'll go first, I've been working on 3 tracks the last few days, but I'll only show two. I tried to take TomKillsJerry's advice about adding a driving rhythm to my tracks. Also please critique on mixing, instrumentation, etc.

    Production Stop Following and Start Leading: Let's Take Hip Hop Back

    Thing is, I remember reading these arguments on soundclick back in 2003-2004, but we didn't know back then how bad things would get with trap music derivatives and mumble rappers. It's like me back then worrying about George W Bush back in the day, not knowing soon he'd be eclipsed by Trump...

    Anyone know of any good horn plug-ins?

    Everyone here is probably already aware of this but there are several amazing brass libraries for Kontakt. In fact there are entire orchestra libraries you can get. They are sampled from real instruments played in movie and music recording studios, and are what movie producers use to make...
