    First Trap Beat

    Ugh, still getting used to YT. Here's an updated link. Welcome any and all feedback!

    First Trap Beat

    Trying to adapt. Let me know what you think! I like to create "projects" to keep me motivated so my next one is to make a Halloween inspired trap beat CD. Still sticking with sampling though because I love it and my favorite part of beatmaking is trying to making something totally different from...

    Great to know. Thank you.

    Best headphones for mixing?

    thanks for the details! curious, how would I know if I need a preamp or not, or do you recommend just using a preamp regardless?

    Dilla Time (the book)

    Good to know. I've had it saved on Amazon for a while now, same with Rick Rubin's book.

    Beat Battles

    1) Make beats. 2) Upload whenever Fade says to. 3) Learn from the competition. That's it. Don't sweat it. Creating is supposed to be fun, right? Full disclosure I just joined this forum about 2 months ago so I'm still learning the ropes myself.

    Best headphones for mixing?

    Appreciate the feedback and suggestions. And I get that headphones aren't ideal, but unfortunately 10pm and later is my free time right now.

    Best headphones for mixing?

    Thanks man, that's what I figured. For now it's the route I need to take. Appreciate the recommendation!

    Sample Manager - Great for Workflow

    that's actually one of the main reasons I like it. I have all my samples saved down by the kit. That's fine sometimes, but annoying when fine tuning and I want something specific. Now I can just Ctrl+F and bring back results from everything I own. I'm not sure how it is in other DAWs but in FL...

    Beat This! Competition - September 20-21, 2023

    Cool, runner-up. Thanks everyone! Tried to make something unique, glad to see folks liked it. Also, big thanks to @2GooD Productions I've been referencing his mixing article a lot over the last month to try and improve mixes.

    The Making of "Armani's Chicken Dance" (Sampling 101 & Creative Constraints)

    @Armani @ProPortionMusic @Fade and a few others were fucking around in the chat last night. It took a weird direction. Animals, what kid's are doing in high school nowadays, and you can connect the dots. Anyways, I said that I was going to incorporate animal noises in whatever I made next...

    Best headphones for mixing?

    What's up, folks. Dusty B here, aka Dusty Blender, aka Ol' Dirty, aka Chubby White, aka Smelly Balls, aka The Less Attractive Rick Rubin, aka Croc Feet, aka Crocs n Sox. Who the fuck is Dusty B? Quick question. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 400 headphones. They're pretty good with a great low...

    Dark Trap Beat || "Rampage"

    Great work here. My $0.02 would be to add a little bit of reverb/delay to the melody, I think it'll help give it more of a feeling like it has its own space vs. sounding a bit "systemic." The 808 roll is cool. p.s. if you're looking for a free feature-full DAW, check out LMMS.

    Sample Manager - Great for Workflow

    https://resonic.at/home I find the built in browser/search function in FL Studio to be pretty terrible and clunky. I came across this and it's a pretty sweet (and free) sample manager. Think a basic File Explorer but with a built in single click audio player. Figured I'd share here too in...

    (Billy Joel + Disturbed) * lots of weed = "Trap Rock"

    Been fucking around with rap/rock and other alternatives styles. I'm not really sure what I could expect over this track (Post Malone / Eminem?) maybe with a chant style hook. It's giving me Lil Wayne Rebirth vibes. You tell me. Bill Joel and Disturbed, WTF? That's why it's dusty. It should be...

    DAW + MPC 1000 Workflow

    Highlights the importance of creative constraints. Like picking a moving on Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Too much choice can lead to disadvantages.

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    Nice man, feels like a "modern old school" west coast beat. Vocals came in really clean at the end. Great beat.
