[JustRipe]

@Adrian Laham no idea what he is saying, but very dope vibe here, love when the drums come in, neck breaker.

@KDVS same with the vocals no idea whats being said but sounds great, was deff waiting for some drums to kick in like Lahams though lol, the part where the guitar comes in is crazy sick man.

@Intenzify i like where your heading with is as well but the percussion could be a bit more catchy with a different swing maybe

@Adrian Laham : Also a great bassline.
@KVDS : Nice mixture of sounds. A bit out of the box, I like it.
@flatspot : First give feedback, than get feedback

Going to work on the perc a bit more than.

@JustRipe great work on the drums! maybe some little variation would be beneficial!

Ahh..the infamous BooBass. You actually made it work here. I like trying new things.

@JustRipe Nice digging! drums is tight.

Love how the low end is thick as hell, but then the crispy snare ties it all together. Nice work.

Laid back as hell. Love the swing on the drums.

Here's an old track I did last year: Not mixed yet.

[JustRipe]

@Usual damn that bassline is so dope, super thick heavy mix too with the kick and highs on the crashes and sample, very dope.
@2GooD Productions haha hell yeah finally got some time to flip a few samples had to come post up on ILL.

OK @JustRipe I'm gonna be quite critical and hit down hard on you here. Nothing personally intended, just giving you some insight and my 20 years experience giving you some constructive criticism. Here we go:

You really need to get the bass right, it's at least off with a semitone, and some times more. Play the bass at the same octave as the electric piano. Now play them together, now copy the ground note from the chord, often the lowest note. If the chord is an E minor, then you should copy the E from it, and paste it into the bassline. Is the lowest note a G, then lower the highest note with one octave, Is the lowest note a B then raise it with one octave. This way you'll always get the right notes to prevent the music sounding low grade quality.

Please don't get me wrong, you've got some severe ill potential with this beat man! But you need to fix the bassline. I'm using almost always exclusively VST plugins to write down my chords right from the very get go, since it is often pretty hard to get the music right from just using samples. Unless ofc you got a good hearing. That's why I pretty much never sample from anyone else but my own productions. Got access to a piano? Lay down the chords there first, and jot down the chord sequence through notes. Even a tiny 2 octave MIDI keyboard works wonders. I record all my chord progressions step by step into FL Studio to get the dynamics just right.

@iLL ThoughT: That beat is just dope! I cannot complain about a thing here. It's just perfect. Keep your work up!

@Intenzify This beat is really nice, but a bit more variation would never hurt this beat.

@Adrian Laham: This beat is pretty good, but it would also benefit from being less repetitive.

@KDVS: Pretty dope beat. Minimalistic, chippy, and a few samples out of tune but in some cases this works pretty well. Keep it up!

@flatspot: Not a bad beat, but it needs more bass.

@MCKwaiChangCane: Pretty good track, needs a more pronounced bassline.

@Usual: Great beat. A tad bit too much compressed, but apart from that it's a great beat!

Now that's settled, here is a few of my beats for y'all to enjoy!











Now I don't expect anyone to review all beats, but if you wanna do that then that's fine with me.

 

[Intenzify]

@Johan Brodd : I really like the second one, has a bit of a mellow feeling to it than the synths make it spacey !
The 3rd one also sounds nice

 

[Intenzify]

Wanted to try something more weekend / summery feeling like beat.
