    The Importance of Drums

    Great post. I'm definitely guilty of just slapping a stock drum break on a beat, or throw together something simple to write on, then never go back and add change ups. I started working on a faux "live" drummer being sampled break last night. This post motivated me to go in and create...

    @BNNBMB Love the gritty old school vibes! Everything fits together really well. This definitely has a spot of my gym playlist.

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    This is why I'm hesitant to post sampled beats. Similar to you, my most played house track is heavily sampled and I'm just waiting for it to get flagged lol

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    @Iron Keys Thanks bro! I agree with levels. I listened to it the day after I posted and had the same thought about levels. Went back into Logic and adjusted them a little with a limiter on the master.

    Congrats @Iron Keys it was between you and @TWU for me. Drums were on point and you sprinkled in the cheeky SFX nicely.

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    @Mike Chief Love that you pulled the funky bits of this! I wanted to sample that rhodes/e-piano too, but couldn't figure out a cool way to flip it. Not that it would matter, you went hard with this. The drums knock and the transitions are super smooth! @2GooD Productions You really pulled a...

    Darko Domijan - "Vrtovi Sna"

    Went digging deep in the digital crates here... ...I've been crazy busy with work these past couple weeks and haven't had much time for making music. I had fun chopping up a sample for the beat this and came hunting through this thread for something to flip. Didn't really plan to flesh this out...

    Beat This! Competition - April 16-17, 2025

    There's a good mix of pure goofiness, some that really went in and tried to make a "beat" and some that are straight taking the piss. I had a hard time deciding between two beats...curious to see which one wins.

    SHOWCASE: April 13-20, 2025

    @Tomblr I really liked how the vocal snips fits into the beat. The intro kept me guessing how you'd work it in, and you did a great job. The sample choices are great. I'm a sucker for any type of strings. The snaps/claps were an interesting choice rather than using a snare. Would still like to...

    I did something similar. The stretching and sample stretching in Acid Pro was really good but I preferred Cubase for MIDI sequencing and FX

    SHOWCASE: March 30 - April 6, 2025

    @Tomblr Great sample choice and even better chops. Love the groove and flow of this beat. It also looks like you're having fun hitting the pads - definitely comes through in the beat! @FOMO The into is really cool - I get some mid 2000s underground hip-hop vibe from it. That 808/Bass is...

    @TWU def deserved this one. He was my pick in the voting. There was a lot of soulful old school vibes this battle. Lots of heaters!

    I honestly couldn't tell you when it got cancelled. Back in the day I used it to link together Cubase SX3 and Acid Pro

    I'm curious to see who's going to take this battle. I thought I submitted a banger, but I'm sure I'm getting blown out the water.

    Yeah, I was surprised to see it was still around. Again, I never got into Reason (if I recall correctly they had an entirely closed eco-system for a long time). Considering Logic can open REX Loops, I figured I'd download and tinker a bit to see if it can fill a gap between Maschine and Flex...
