    Beat This! Competition - April 17-18, 2024

    I'm sooooooooooo new at all this but want to give it a try. I've laid out the vocals I want to use and have started to build drums for it. A little busy this weekend, but I hope to get this done in time for the competition. If my song turns out weak, oh well. The practice is worth it. I get...

    Roast the New Guy

    This is probably going to be what I explore with my next beat. The default pack is fine and all but I could use some new sounds.

    Roast the New Guy

    Thank you so much for all of this. I've been listening to hip-hop since I was a kid, so I'm familiar with sampling and know the first four beats don't have enough. I've just been enjoying composing things note by note as I've gotten accustomed to using a DAW. "Blunted with the March Hare" has...

    Roast the New Guy

    Thank you very much. The four I linked above are basically practice work, and I don't really plan on doing more with them. This other track, I feel is better than those four, but maybe has the same weakness. What do you think? Any specific recommendations? I may do a revision of this one and...

    Warzone Beat Battle - March 29-30, 2024

    Just wanted to see if it would work. At least the beat I'm up against is decent. I can accept the accidental vote.

    Warzone Beat Battle - March 29-30, 2024

    Today I learned the hard way that (a) I can vote in the match-up that includes my beat, just not for myself, and (b) I can't take my vote back. :eek:

    What motivates you to keep making beats?

    I just started like two weeks ago. What keeps me going is that it feels amazing to do it. I love music and have a good ear for it but have always struggled to handle instruments. Being able to make the music myself is incredible. It's like I'm learning 1,000 instruments at once, without...

    Roast the New Guy

    Hi all. Just got into making beats and found this forum. I've uploaded 4 beats, all pretty different, and I'd like some feedback (a) in general and (b) specific to each beat. Whatever you feel like providing. No need to hold back. Lovely if you have compliments, but I know I'm new and probably...
