electro boogie - this isnt bad, solid track, i think the reverb on the drums fits the overall feel of the beat the blend - this is real cool at times, but at other times the horn stabs can get a little repetative. my advice, take them away for a while, and then bring them back, it will leave the lis...

haha, i wake up to mr. laws every now and then, got it in my alarm clock on my computer... ...as for your version, idk, its not bad, i think you could do a little more with it. maybe add some more elements, eq a little, rather than just re-arranging what is already there. i think doom flipped that t...

but congrats on your upgrade

200 - 75 + sales tax = 133


i need to get a mixer bad, im having the same grounding/missing sounds issues. right now im using the keyhole on the lock to my attick door cuz my mbox doesnt have a ground on it.

i agree, i think it could use a little more low end... then again, i was listening thru headphones without a ton of bass response, so i might be a little off. it sounds good tho, that string sample is tight.

you can find most programs on your favorite p2p sharing program. as far as cracks/serial numbers go. just google it, theres a lot of stuff out there, i guarantee you will find stuff for fruity loops

thanks for the input guys. that stutter is actually a spanish song lyric with a little delay on it. i thought it sounded kinda cool, but im not really all that attached to the rest of the intro/chorus. ill prob end up retoolin that part a little.

well the intro section was kinda sucking but it comes together a little better after a few bars there. there's nothing i can point out about it that's wrong or off, it just doesn't do a whole lot for me overall. whats sucking about the intro exactly? details would be nice so i can better understand...

perspectives is tight, i think i like it better than rays of sunshine. i like how at first it feels kinda minimalistic, but when listen a little closer, its got a lot goin on. this would sound real tight with a mc on it... to bad i dont rap, haha.

i came home from completely failing my math final yesterday morning and made this beat. i named it out of spite, haha. let me know what you think. i think i need to mix it again tho, cuz it sounds a lot better when i play it loud. its the first one on there- http://www.myspace.com/beatmongersproduct...

^^ hmm, good point. how exactly would you use both programs though? I'm not really sure if I understand how one would integrate the strengths of both programs. Are you suggesting that doing all of the drum work and whatnot in FL, then integrating samples/loops in acid? How would that work, file-wis...

over all i like how this is sounding, is that a marcos valle sample you used for the guitar/main loop, its got a similar feel. the only things that i didnt like were at the 18 second mark and the 45 second mark. those change ups were a little rough with the time compression/expansion. maybe try and ...

this sounds good, a lot of stuff goin on that all works well together. its kinda short tho, it would have been nice to break it down with a drum break, then build back up to the main loop with some slight variations. good shit tho, i liked what i heard.

i think this thing look rediculous, but hey, if it sounds alright, whatever floats your boat i guess

this is something that i have been messin around with recently, but i cant figure out how to use it correctly. it either does nothing at all, or adds way too much white noise. when should i use dither, when not, how much?

i think ima take a stab at this one

damn, thats a lot of attitude for someone who is asking for help, haha

I'd do it, but i wouldnt know how to explain it to you in a way that actually makes sense. I'm a terrible teacher. yea, im taking a performing arts and technology class that focuses on electronic music composisions right now. the whole first half of the class is on midi. its all just a bunch of bor...

you need to pick a program to work with first, you cant really explain how to set-up the midi controller, if you dont have any midi instruments to control, you dig? reason is a good choice to get started on, its pretty easy to figure out, and fairly inexpensive for what you can get out of it. as far...

sorry but im not really feelin this beat. to me, the combination of the loud synths and the drum break dont really fit common's lyrics. he always sounds better with a more layed back beat to me, something where the drums match the speed of his flow a little better would be a little more fitting.

Is sound forge windows only? how do those bittorents work? what is a good one for macs? ahh a fellow mac user... LOGIC PRO IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO! soundforge is only for windows im a pro tools guy, they fuck you with software/hardware compatability, but they make up for it with a very powerful progr...

even tho, i couldnt officially enter the contest, i was inspired by some of the work that was being posted, and i decided to throw something together over the last couple days. i figured id post it so some people could listen to it watch out motherfuckers, consider this a warning for whats to come n...

I really wish I could do this again, I mixed mine horribly. My drums are really low and my vocals are pretty high aswell. The problem was I was lazy. I didn't want to save each individual sample like always so I made that beat and mixed it down and just turned off my cpu, I couldn't add any touch u...

thanks

yo, hiphopopotamus, which track on your myspace is the one for the battle?

yo, i just got back from spring break and i saw this thread, is it too late for me to try and throw something together if im not too busy with school the next couple days?

thats looks tight, but its a little out of my price range.

anyone know if there is any performance difference between and oxygen8 and a new o2? the o2 is smaller, and looks a little different, but does it have more (or less) functions? thanks.

this is sounded real tight man. im usually into a more mellow style of that trip-hoppy kinda shit, but i think the more agressive synths sounded tight. youve got some great texture in this piece. the guitar is a nice touch too. what did u use to create most of your sounds on here?

I just made a beat that I thought sounded like a murda muzik reject beat. i need an acapella or something. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/lilbizzomusic.htm yea, i could def see prodigy rockin this 80s night sounds like an MF Doom beat with the 80s dance sample, i think he would flipped it with a...

thanks, i didnt mean to sound like an asshole, sorry if i came across that way. im def plannin on checkin out other peoples music, ive been busy as hell with school lately tho, and i havent had much a chance.

yo, thanks to everyone for the input
