    Beat This! - May 6-7, 2020

    Get inspired, fuck around with an idea, start questioning it. Get stuck with the Mario Bros theme in your head for 5 hours. Anyone else?

    Ah, man. Why's the main part got the jump + power up sound fx over it. Would have loved that clean.

    How does the listener (subconsciously) know what scale a melody is being played in?

    I actuallybeen wondering about this lately and been thinking to ask some of my higher level musician friends about this. Honestly I think it's just "how it sounds". Because they're the same "key" of C Major, people are quite familiar with how music sounds - we've heard it our whole life...

    Why the hell are these songs good???

    Because of feel when it comes to making music, a lot you might use "thought" instead of "feel." You think about how your music should sound as opposed to feel how it should sound. The other aspect is less is more. complexity doesn't necessarily = enjoyable. The less elements there are to...

    I was making an Eastern combined with Western, track. As in the far east meets the western world. Which is why there are two eastern instruments in there!

    That's pretty sick, brother. I'm guessing that shit's sampled, great choice of sample and good use. The mix sounds nice too. This is nice for having just started sampling. It sounds like it'd make cool menu-music in a computer game, like in a basketball or skateboard one etc. Go grab those...

    Thanks, mayn! I appreciate the feedback. 1st Track, Really like the music, the chord choices etc. The female vocal seems a bit quesionable in places in terms of timing. and perhaps levels. The male vocal has good flow/timing etc 2nd Track, Really like the drum / rhythm, the music sounds like...

    Thanks, bro! Nice track, I like the way you used that little vocal sample. It all sounds real nice and well fit together, a nice sturdy rhythm to it.

    Thanks, brother! Much appreciated. I do tend to have a tendency for that West Coast ish! I'm really loving the chords/progression you used in this one, the way they seem to resonate and float sounds pretty sweet. I'm not familiar with the original track, but I like what you've done it gives it...

    Yeaaah, bredda. That's my kinda beat, that ethnic percussion! This needs some low toned hurried flow rapping over it. Or some sultry, intimate female vocal. Top stuff! Here's mine... "The Turn" Love ☯

    Thanks, brother! Appreciate that. You done well on your first Trap beat, man. It's got a rather aggressive urgent feel to it, quite dramatic too. This is down to the melodies, crashes and the drums. Nice work, brother!

    First time making Hip-Hop in about a year and a half (I think), is this the return of Iron Keys?! Made these over the past two days. "The Return" "The Following" "The 13th, Friday" Enjoy. ☯ ~Iron Keys

    How to make slow trap vocals?¿

    Think I need to find better software to do this. Often tempo changing an audio file fucks up the timing of it. Proper nuisance and not useful at all!

    How to make slow trap vocals?¿

    Sounds like a pretty spasticated question, but yeah... Everytime I've pitched down vocal clips I have, the quality seems to be raped. I'm aiming to have a really clear/decent quality low-pitched vocal clip. Just to kinda loop about over a beat. What advice you guys got on that?! Do you...

    Methods of mixing a boomy 808 kick?¿

    But with a slow attack, you let the kick transient hit before the compressor begins to compress... a fast attack with quick release would compress the kick's transient... that's my understanding. If i set a slow attack, the initial hit comes through, it compresses what's behind that.

    Methods of mixing a boomy 808 kick?¿

    If I used a slow attack, that'd emphasise the attack of the quick and quiet the tail, surely??

    Methods of mixing a boomy 808 kick?¿

    yeah, what I had been doing, was trying to find a kick that seemed to suit the purpose, then either EQ'ing out the knocky freqs of the 808 and pulling out some sub of the kick, balancing them, bussing them, then compressing them lightly with about no more than 3-4 db gain reduction and letting...

    Methods of mixing a boomy 808 kick?¿

    Just wondering what different (and best) ways people are using for 808 Kicks with long tails??? Is it useful to just create a sine with a slow tail and trigger it when your kicks hit?? How would one best layer a kick with a 808 that has a slow release? Is adding saturation to the 808 useful...

    Kohie, Skid, Droopy, Much appreciate the love, brethren! Djordje, much love for the response. Kohie - Nice chopping of the sample, flows and bounces nicely. Personally I'd like it to have a fatter kick, I love more of a 'boof!' from a kick. Nice work! Skid - Rollplay; Nice vibe, man, love the...
