    You could probably make a whole album off this one track.

    How many beats you making???

    Yeah @slimegreenbeats @Crispifier kinda hybrid of these two points plus one more... I think sometimes you just have to make, just plat whatever. Churn out uncensored uninhibited ideas. That way you get something good and natural becauseit comes from feeling as opposed to thought. It's...

    I already see the next Drill hype beat winning this one

    That's tough. Beat 1 imho should ditch the piano but keep the piano as a topline guide for a singer or such. Think that melody would sound sick with the right vocals. Really like that main sound it come with too. Also I know kanye is a different guy but seems he time travelled back to mid...

    Nice! It's pretty simple. Be carefulnot to get caught up in just making stupid hype shit tho; you've got nice melodies and shit, could make some really pretty vibey stuff!

    How many beats you making???

    I'm barely making one a week. I tend to make the main ideaof something then move on to something else.

    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?

    This is sick. I'd try find a more plush sound for that main arpeggio. Just something more glossy, with some nice short delay or verb on it. My kinda beat tho

    Really nice piano. For me personally I'd have totally different drums; I'd have gone with a more typically trap style pattern, and more synthetic drums. I think a kinda trap/RnB drum hybrid would suit this really well - it would help place it better in the current soundscape.

    Good free software for beginners ?

    Try Cakewalk By BandLab... It's literally Sonar. Fully functioning DAW... reallly good features. Really good sounding plugins and effects. Comes with a few good instruments. But you'll need to find some free vsts to go with you.

    @Lightbackdrew Your beat is tasty, man! Firstly it struck me 'cause sounded like some shit I made before, actually made me think "wait?" the drum/bass/perc. Only reason it didn't catch my vote, the synth stab(forgot proper term?), I just weren't feeling - 0 wrong with it, just a personal...

    'cause it's emotional, man. That's peoples' art. That's a bit of themselves they're putting out there. It can be tough enough not being able to hear your own shit objectively, so being unable to contextualise whether it good or not. Especially when you start comparing it or whatever. People...

    Clipping above my mixing IQ

    Yoir beat btw in the comp was nice. Giving me instant vibes. I can hear Big L absolutely tearing it apart or something.

    Clipping above my mixing IQ

    Yeah I've kinda realised what formula is for the beat battles. Gotta decide what i want to do. Not sure i want to 'play that game', so might stick to my own agenda. But I've also considered not entering anymore.

    I'm assuming a lot of us have habits, whether that's musical, sonic, etc that can give us away... and regulars have probably got a good recognition of eachother's sounds and habits. I've only been back what, a week? And starting to recognise certain peoples vibes. Not saying there necessarily...

    Just backing up what 2Good said... highpass filter (low cut) everything... bring up an analyser on each channel and just cut where there's no signal. Alternatively do it by ear... increase the cut until you hear it; then back off. Just keeps any messiness out rhe way. But in terms of eq'ing for...
