This is really not the forum for this debate....3 damn pages and two beats!
Iron..calm down...take a deep breath....relax.
If u can't take the heat here...on the real....making music is not for you. NOBODY SAID YOUR MUSIC IS BULLSHIT.....NOBODY!
Everybody starts somewhere and even pruducers here that make hot beats sometimes fall short. You are under the impression that it takes thousands to be a decent beat maker/producer..that is simply not the case.
U keep mentioning making shit "like Timbo"....that's cool. It's a great place to learn. But what are you doing? Have u tried to recreate ONE Timbo track? If not GET TO IT DAMN IT.
We're not here to hold your hand but most of us here take pride in helping the new peeps.
Here's my challenge to you....I want you to find 10 tracks that you love....do all you can with what you have to recreate them. I mean everything, down to the effect they might have put on a horn! If you find that you don't have half of those or similar sounds, you have no damn choice but to up your sample/instrument game. U should be able to turn on the radio and hear a sound and say "hey...I know that instrument or something similar"....if you can't your sounds are ass or out of date. Everybody and I mean everybody that is serious about this shit immitated somebodys music before they developed there on sound. And even some still didn't develope there own style but can make bangers.
If somebody has a couple grand to spend and come to you for a Dre type beat...what the fuck are you going to do...let that money go.....hell no! You'll be trying your hardest to do Dre!
yeah i know, rahtid bare page on just me. mad love.
tht's the thing, i started trying to replicate dre/storch beats (not fully by choice, just tht's the music that felt 'right' to me, how music 'should' sound.) ... erm the bouncy buzzy... chrisbrown/game 'nice' (storch) was kinda a reference.
Believe i've tried, over n over again, doing the shit that people/things recommend, then tried even more, and more. and again.
i dunno what thing isn't clicking. i've tried pretty much everything, other than paying major dough for a pro, or studio, or expensive music course.
that lasdt one i linked, is my kinda interpretation of workin in a 'storch' style.
I got one i working on now that is more 'timbo' tho it feels less n less the more i listen to it, i keep changing the eq on the bass synth, changing levels, changing eq, changing sends, etc etc, nothing seems to make it right. to me the drums sound 'okay' out of my Monitors, on headphones they only sound 'aright' once the instruments come in. but i imagine if i upload, i'll get same response as the others.
again, immense love for all the help. mad appreciated.
Trust, it may sound like im going nuts(i am), but after years n years of trying, n noticing no real improvement, or nothings that could be released, it feels kinda reaosonable reaciotn.
Lol^
much love.
