    Battle That! Competition - December 2-5, 2020

    Really liked 26 & 27. 27 had a lot of analog warmth to it, felt old school.

    @NANI beats - yeah very smooth and definitely has that R&B vibe. I liked what you did with the modulation on the piano and pads. Song is nicely balanced. Definitely ready for vocals! @Rah.sool - you worked the sample good, and got some good drums with it. It's a cool idea. I thought the track...

    Thanks dude that's really useful to know as I often struggle with matching my beats to appropriate artists.

    I don't usually do trap but thought I'd switch it up. Usually work with 4 lines per beat on Renoise but had to make it 16 so I could get all those 16th and 32 notes on the hats!

    @XIS - Def has a cinematic quality, nice piano and guitar! Nice rapping and delivery. Good catchy vocal hook. Bass needs to be a bit more chilled I thought. Drums louder in mix. @Chad - 1st beat - really nice chilled vibe, guitar is nice. Like the saw synth. Nice chorus. Agree with XIS...

    ILLiens Are You On A Mac or PC?

    Yeah I'm sure that's true, my mate who works in the shop is always banging on about how the quality is better because they manage the supply chain end to end and use al their own kit. But for the layman like me HP will have to do right now!

    @Fade - hey just need to check my reading comprehension, so I can upload 4 beats, and each beat has to be no longer than 4 mins? Sorry for asking basic question but last time I managed to get it wrong!

    ILLiens Are You On A Mac or PC?

    Depends what you need it for. Renoise + Windows work perfectly well for me making hip hop and house beats. If I was recording with artists and so forth than it might be worth it scaling up to Logic as it's a more well rounded DAW. I'm a big fan of Logic less so of Mac OS matrix.

    ILLiens Are You On A Mac or PC?

    Controversial question....I have a PC with Windows something or other. I used to use Macs and when I was at Music College everyone was on Mac. It was like you had to conform. I loved Logic although the GUI was ugly as hell. However, when I moved abroad I decided to buy a cheap HP laptop for...

    What Kind Of MIDI Controller(s) Do You Own and/or Use?

    Yeah feels really unnatural

    What Kind Of MIDI Controller(s) Do You Own and/or Use?

    When I lived overseas I had a little Akai travel keyboard 2 octaves. Fit in the suitcase easy but damn I missed not being able to voice out chords properly. Keys were crap on it too, it looked like my first keyboard.

    If You Could Get Lessons In Anything Music Related, What Would It Be?

    You are correct sir. My mate had an app like that and he said it really helped him. He's a bassist in a band. Time to get it I think, make it a New Year's resolution! I'm not sure if my brain does the same but I usually get melodies in my head, sing them into my phone and then when I get home I...

    By the way just listened to all the submissions - really good stuff on here and very diverse. Some cool tracks and got inspiration from a few.

    Warzone Beat Battle - November 13-14, 2020

    Thanks dude! Yeah can't deny like a good westcoast vibe and your track the other week nailed that too. Looking forward to hearing more submissions from you. I got a few more Westcoast beats up my sleeve but may switch it up next time.

    Just thought I'd check before bed and pleasantly surprised! It's Saturday night here and had quite a few beers so haven't had a chance to hear all the other music properly but will get on that tomorrow. Happy with the result especially because I was intending to upload 4 tracks but me being...

    If You Could Get Lessons In Anything Music Related, What Would It Be?

    Not really a lesson but I keep telling myself I need to train my ear to hear intervals in keys. I know basic music theory but I can't listen to a song and hear the pitch. My mum is a music teacher and she can listen to any song and tell you the key and every chord. It's like having a computer brain!

    The Easy Bake Era of Music Making

    Completely agree. If you're not thinking and challenging yourself you're not learning. It may sound sad but I like listening back to songs I made years ago because I feel a sense of accomplishment. Don't think I'd have that feeling if I just stacked a few loops in the same key on top of each other.

    NEW - Maschine + standalone

    @Drago Zetić - thanks for the user feedback will definitely gift this to myself for Xmas. Let's just hope it works with Renoise!
