You Unoriginals
The T in T-Pain stands for Truth it seems! And Dr Dre agrees! It's not just us here on ill begrudging all you type-beat same-old same-old copycat beat types. The big names have called out all these rappers doing exactly the same thing, and it's exactly the same thing that applies to you samey... -
Good Modern Rapper On Good Beats???
At a loss right now for what to listen to, don't necessarily feel like listening to old stuff, but don't necessarily feel like listening to the typical new stuff. Anyone know any good modern rappers (good flow/lyrics) who rap on good exciting beats? Wanna find someone new to listen to. Or even... -
How to get 'choppy' drums?!
I hear some tracks, and the drums sound really 'choppy', almost as if they've been cut + pasted in. They feel sloppy, but good sloppy. They almost sound like they don't fit, but in a way that works. Also often these drums sound pretty loud/big/crisp/clean as if they are modern programmed... -

Subconscious plagiarism
How often you make a beat or a melody that sounds real good and you go... "I feel like I've heard this before" ?? Annoying and offputting af -
Good source for percussion samples???
Anyone know a really good source, or brand whatever for percussion samples??? Single shots. Like all the weird interesting sounds that aren't kicks/snares. Things like claves, sticks, metal things, wooden things whatever. definitely stuff that would sit well in "modern" sounding records... -
How many beats you making???
How many beats are you making per day / week??? Swear some of you are posting like 20 full tracks each in the showcase then have beats also for the comps. Movin like you're making a full track every hour? -
What bass for sustained trap bass??
What sort of source sound or synth best for getting that sustained trap bass like this track? There are better and more examples of what I mean, but when you need something it's hard to find huh? Also, how do you approach mixing these?? How do you keep their weight and presence without it... -
Keeping short loops interesting??
How do you keep short loops/hooks interesting or without them driving you insane? I'm talking about real short catchy 2bar loops (in trap it'd essentially be like 1bar kinda, 'cause of the halftime). Loops/hooks that sound like they're the key/main part of the instrumental, so need to be... -
How to make slow trap vocals?¿
Sounds like a pretty spasticated question, but yeah... Everytime I've pitched down vocal clips I have, the quality seems to be raped. I'm aiming to have a really clear/decent quality low-pitched vocal clip. Just to kinda loop about over a beat. What advice you guys got on that?! Do you... -
Methods of mixing a boomy 808 kick?¿
Just wondering what different (and best) ways people are using for 808 Kicks with long tails??? Is it useful to just create a sine with a slow tail and trigger it when your kicks hit?? How would one best layer a kick with a 808 that has a slow release? Is adding saturation to the 808 useful... -

How to make 80's orchestral stabs??
As the topic states, how to design these kinds of stabs in a synth??? Love 'em! P.S ILL NEW YEAR to you all!!! -
What do you all think of this kinda shizz???
I think this sounds mega Some sick flow could be devastating on a track like this. -
Which sounds are these?
There's a a couple of sounds in this track I'm sure are presets somewhere or are typical sounds as I've heard them in tracks by other producers etc... The first is a zappy /stabby sound which only hits briefly, it hits on the off beats, usualy just before or after a snare. The second is a... -
Massive Presets...?
Finally got my hands on Massive, hoorah! Having a fiddle with it, getting used to using it, but I seem to have no presets whatsoever... is there anywhere you can acquire the original presets/file for it??? Thanks -
