I really admire how he does his beats.. But I don't really know how to get that sound? Can any body tell me a little bit about what he uses and how to get that sound..
BTW this is really important cause a dude I know is willing to give me 2,500 dollares if i can make som ALC sounding beats.. Thanx.

well he uses the asr-10 or did last time i checked, its a prety old machine so its guna have low sampling bitrate for that grimey sound so you can try sampling at low bitrates, and even his drums tend to sounds grimey thats basically his whole sound !

I hate his drums, but his basslines kinda follows the kick (as alot of producers tend to do), and his kicks are more prominent than the snare usually.

I was just listening to some old Alchemist yesterday, if you really listen to his work a lot of his techniques really remind me of primo, if you listen to a lot of both, but no doubt he is one of the dopest in his approach and also how long and how many hits he's behind

There was once a video up, it was more a day in the life type joint, not too many techniques

I agree. In some cases its not all in the digging, its how u flip the sample. Like "hold u down" I've had the original for a while meaning to sample it, which i still can cuz he really only sampled the vocals, the beat is way different.

also..

Alchemist does his thing cuz its his thing, If he still uses the asr10 thats him, he probably does that to achieve a sound that is somewhat identifyable to him, why you would want to imitate another's originality is unbeknownst to me, but at the same time, do what u gotta do to get that money.

agreed... I have been studying his beats all day. They really dont have many basslines just deep kicks.. and the drums are simple.. agreed?
