    Brian Bennett - "Nuplex"

    My submission for the last Warzone. Figured I'd post here for posterity. Shouts @TWU calling the sample!

    The level of quality this month was insane! Lots of great music. @Earsblower - This was one of my favourites. The 80s synth-wave sound selection sounds amazing. In addition to the sound selection, you nailed the tone and atmosphere of the era, while balancing a modern sound. There are soo many...

    @attila Rrotino: This is very cool piece of music. Using the vocals more sparingly, or having it kinda mixed into the distant background, would be really cool as this is a great piece of music. That tight drum kit, and bluesy piano are soo nice. This kinda sounds like an interlude/outro for an...

    @2GooD Productions This is a cool beat. Less detailed than your usual work, but if you working with a specific sample and it came together quickly, no fuss there. While I did like the vocal chop, it's a bit overused for my taste. I really like the drums and percussion on this beat. Still has...

    With my luck; the 90s Alt Rock week will be the week I make a Timbo beat.

    Some serious bangers! The byes are unfortunate, but I feel like with this spread of quality, it’ll make how this plays out a bit more interesting. Best of luck to everyone!

    @Tomblr I really like the sample selection. Actually, most of your beats have really dope samples. The little stutter FX do a lot to keep this interesting. If it's for a cypher, then the beat doesn't need to be overly complex...this fits that use case perfectly. The only thing I'd maybe tweak...

    Schaduwkrijgers: Donker (Official Video) (Prod. Tomblr)

    Visuals: I like the combination of old-school/lofi and modern aesthetics. That being said, some more cohesion in terms of a visual trademark, would be nicer. I appreciate the homage to the culture (graffiti, skate park, tunnel) look, but the variety of filters seems disjointed. Either way, it...

    ^^^ 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.

    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.

    Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025

    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...

    Fewer plugins and more “basic” stock plugins. These days it’s just the. Built 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...

    Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025

    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...
