^^^ multi-sampled kits are the way to go! Hence why I love the Maschine kits. The layered velocities are really dynamic. Sometimes I just crank the velocity to 127 to get that timbre then just back off the overall level of the track. Or vice versa.- BiggChev

No name Fender knock off. There’s a music store on the other end of the city that specializes in cheap/affordable instruments for public schools and kids programs. They sell to the public for a slight markup. I paid $150 Canadian for it. -

Yeah, the human feel really comes from Being super meticulous. Typically the first kick and snares are always dead on for me. Once i get the hi hats (with a variety of velocity) I’ll lay down drums with about 30% swing, then go and VERY slightly nudge around every third snare hit or something...- BiggChev

Fewer plugins and more “basic” stock plugins. These days it’s just the. Hoot in saturator in Maschine. In Logic, EQ, slight EQ and a limiter. Midside EQ has really helped in terms of not relying soo much side chain comp which leaves everything squashed and flat. As for LUFs, I was having a...- BiggChev

I will for certain elements. Like, if I want that swing jazz ride cymbal feel. Speaking of, something else I’ve grown out of is having a “global” swing level. Having different groups or instruments around a similar swing % can yield some cool result and add a more humanized feel. It’s a...- BiggChev

Appreciate you! I was fortunate to grow up in a house that always had funk and disco playing (courtesy of my mum) so I wasn’t to concerned about the “notes” or instrumentation (phased Epiano, funky guitars, organ and bass). The decision to go old school, was more of a personal challenge, and...- BiggChev

Thanks @Iron Keys I had a feeling most people would go for that 2001 sound so I wanted to try going old school. This is probably the most “research” I’ve done for a beat in a while. Between listening to The Chronic on repeat and watching a few videos; there were a few things I was able to pick...- BiggChev

@K-waz was busting my balls for having not finished/releasing this project - so I figured I'd throw it up here. Collection about a 1.5 years of music. This was coming out of a long lofi/jazz phase. It still has some jazzy elements. All the guitar and bass was recorded by me. Apologies in... -

@attila This is very nice! I think somebody rapping on it would spoil it. This is really dope - this is genuine art to me. I love the textures, atmosphere and emotion. It evolves, breathes, comes back around and keeps going. SICK! -

@NaiN Nephilim This is a cool remix. I had to re-familiarize myself with the source material as I wasn't really into Young Buck. I like it, but something I mentioned in the Beat This thread, that era of Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit was soo polished and almost over-produced, I kinda became indifferent... -

Edit: How many different ways can I say "Trademark sound" @2GooD Productions You got all the major hallmarks in there and made a sick beat. You got the worm synth/sine whistle lead down perfectly. If someone asked for the platonic ideal of a Dre beat - this would be it. @hiziezer Super...- BiggChev
