    Thanks @2GooD Productions I made this back when I was attempting "Jamuary." I made a few different patterns on the TB-03 and ran it through the MXR distortion pedal. I was trying for that Big Beat 90s rave sound.

    Looking at a Jabroni who thinks he knows how to make beats!

    Plugin Recommendation: "Spawn" by Sauceware and Lemonade

    As a learning tool, I agree, it's a great tool. Unfortunately, I think in today's day, not many people care to learn in the process. They're looking for a quick fix in an effort to feed the algorithm. Recently, I've kinda done a bit of chord structure "un-learning." Having fallen deep into...

    Rubba - "Vector"

    @prodCardellino Really liked the way this was chopped. That choppy filtered bit at 0:33 is really cool. While the drums work with the sample, I think a chopped break or boom-bap drums would suit it more than the Trap. Not so much the actually drum pattern but the sound selection. In general...

    Plugin Recommendation: "Spawn" by Sauceware and Lemonade

    I’m still on the fence on how I feel about AI in music. More specifically the use of it by producers rather than the blatant AI generated stuff. I’ve been leaning on Co-Pilot recently for chord progression ideas as a starting point…and even that feels like cheating a bit. And it because “you...

    @2GooD Productions & @K-waz I'm digging this. It has a combination of K's rugged and raw sound with 2Gs instrumentation. The drum fills do a lot to keep the energy flowing into the next phrase. I think the snare drum in most hip-hop has been unjustly relegated to just being on the 2 and 4 so...

    @PhxAzTracmaster Dun: At first when the little horn stabs I was thinking Dre - What's the Difference. Then the mallets came in and I immediately felt like I was playing Goldeneye on my N64. The melody in the mallets is really cool and could lend themselves nicely to a more robust arrangement...

    Rubba - "Vector"

    @cjcool Drums knock! I like grit and grain I hear on this. I like that you went dark almost Havoc/Mobb Deep with this. The stabs/staccato on the 8ths also do a lot to build both a rhythmic and harmonic foundation. This speaks to my preference in hip-hop a lot. Dope Filp!

    Tomblr Beats: City Roulete Vol 2: Netherlands

    ALL FIRE! Sorry to hear about your misfortunes in Amsterdam. Something similar happened to me in Barcelona when I was there for my 25th birthday :( I do really like this "beat making" meets "travel vlog" style of video. Maybe it's a personal taste, but as visual medium, some colour grading...

    @2GooD Productions I like this short punchy bass. That particular bass tone always gives me trouble - which sucks, because it's a sound I really like but can never write well around it. There's an organ+string combo accent on certain down beats I almost missed...but certainly felt, as it added...

    Rubba - "Vector"

    @2GooD Productions The second theme that comes in around 0:43 is quite nice. The first phrase seems a bit baron but is filled out nicely with the higher plucky elements around the 0:43 mark. Sound selection is great and all the elements work well together. There's this ghostly flute thing...

    @WHAT1000 The beat lives up to it's name for sure. I kinda like the synth patch you used, but as mentioned, there's no real theme here. It sounds more like a collection of noodles rather than a coherent beat. I'm sure there's an idea somewhere in there, but it needs to be distilled and...

    what's this wobbly rhythm thingy? (Go Getta - Chung)

    Yeah, sounds like a ghost note kick maybe even reverse. To my ear it sounds like it’s layered with a scratch or reversed sample
