UK DRILL type beat, what do you say?





I like the drums and bass definitely has the UK drill vibe to em.

Not keen on the melody, sounds kinda off, not necessarily out of key i dont think but like the interval jump between certain notes. I think one note might just need to be elsewhere.

Like i think their are some chords or movements in there that sound too major.

But then uk drill/grime beats have a tendency to be musically suspect imho

@KZA DOPE .... thats it just dope lol.... its knock'n screws out my desk ,,,,
Haha Thank you for making my day

As for your beat, i think it's really dope. The acapella fits perfectly and it blends really well into the mix, the only thing that could be changed imo is to take some frequencies out the piano melody to make it sound cleaner. But that's me trying really hard to find anything to critique. Great work



Back for another one guys :D

Sounds really cool, gives me chilled Vibes. The Bassline is really nice and I especally like the LoFi Choir-Like Sounds, really fitting the Atmosphere. I think a little more Variations wouldnt hurt though, seems a little monotonous.

I made this Beat for a friend of mine, who also raps on it in German.
I hope you like it, but any feedback is appreciated!

@Feel Really dope beat! I fuck with the vibe, mixing sounds good aswell as far as I can tell right now (listening on my laptop speakers)

@Memento Beats chill vibe, dope bounce in your drums, hi hats are definitly on point



Posted this in last weeks thread but didn't get any feedback on it so here it is

cheers

question how much is samples? i hear a lot of crackling that changes speeds.like the vocal sound that plays and 808s sound good.
 


Wow! :D This beat is great! Cool mix, drums are on point, perfect choice of sounds in my opinion, smooth bassline. I can definitely imagine Biggie rapping over it. :D Incredible job man. :) Howeve, I have to say that your beat scared me a little bit because when it started playing I thought that my left headphone got broken hahaha :D

Nice, clean kick. Good drums. I like that smooth piano melody and the way it sounds. I like that sounds you added around 0:41 in the background. It compliments the main melody on the piano very well. Nice hihats pattern. I have to say that at first I wasn't a fan of that "crickety" sound of them when you pitched them up but later on I got used to them. Overall, very cool beat. I give you a thumb up. :)

Btw, could you please give me some directions on how to obtain that kind of let's call it "paddy" bass that you have around 0:12? I heard similar things many times in trap beats, however, I was never really able to capture this sound. I would be grateful for some advice. :)

Hi guys!
It was a challenge to create something with my acoustic guitar, but not loosing the lo fi vibe/technic I've been trying to achieve. Hope you enjoy it



Nice guitar playing . :D As I mentioned earlier when you posted your beats in showcase I'm not an expert in this genre but I have to say that I like this beat more than you previous ones. It has nice chilling vibe. :)

ANY FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED!!!!
Nothing here yet.
This beat is cool :D I like the melody on that synth, I like those choir stabs you have there. From the very first sounds of it I had 50 Cent in mind rapping on it hahahaa :D I don't know whether it's good or not but that's just how I felt when I heard it. In my opinion drums could be a little bit heavier and have more punch but other than that it's a good beat. I like the arrangement, mix is also nice. Good job. :)
 
@crudeking dope switchup at 0:45, generally the drums are really nice


here's todays beat


Cool melody on piano and flute. I like 808 here a lot. Drums are on point. I didn't like that bells you added at 0:37. Not a good solution here in my opinion. I don't feel them. But other than that it's another decent production from you. :)

@berroni U didn't post any feedback but I'm gonna give you one anyway, just follow the rules next time please. I really like the melodies on this one, I just think you need better sounds. The Piano could sound much "clearer" and I think it's just because the sound isn't that great to begin with. The other sounds, like the one just before the hook, could use some EQing. I also like what you did to the drums, the bounce is really going but just like the melodies they could use some mixing. Look into parallel compression, it's helped me a lot to get my drums pop out of the mix.



Here's mine for today.


I think this one is the best beat from you in this Showcase :D This is fire man! :D I love that heavy distorted 808, melody on that trumpet is absolutely killing it. Magnificent job. :)



dont know if m doing this right ... never posted on a forum before ...


This is dope man. :D Great production. I think that this beat fits Jay-Z style perfectly. I really like it. :D Nothing to criticise here to be honest because everything is on point in my opinion, :D I will have to check that Jay Z tape of yours. :D

vocals are the only sample, i think the crackling has to do with either the sound of the piano (it's from a oneshot kit) or it's a RC20 Noise that's too loud because of the compressor on my master

Thanks for your feedback! I just got this one from a preset pack in omnisphere, but i think it's just some kind of distorted sine wave bass that can be replicated in pretty much every synthesizer. I could be wrong though. Hope this helps :)
