i haven't been able to successfully complete a beat in a couple weeks now. i'm trying to regain some confidence here. i might tweak this some more, as far as change ups go--some are pretty rough.

let me know what you think.

rays of sunshine

this is definately fresh, reminds me of old j5 or ugly duckling stuff, drums are working nice, hats and snares especially, changeups are well placed and work great. this is classic, well done bro

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 mess around and get those soundin a little smoother and you've got yourself a sick ass track, everything else sounds good.

i made a new beat too, in case you don't want to listen to that other one. this one is called perspectives.

thanks for checking the other one. i know what you mean about the change ups, but for some reason i like them. oh yeah, and no it's not a marcos valle sample, but rather a jose feliciano sample.

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.

ray of sunshine is freeesh ... let's hear a version with a dope verse about bitches in dukes and italian ices... and all that...

Rays of sunshine was pretty dope. A nice chill vibe, and it hit nicely. if you could though you should change up that main flute instead of repeating it so often. Dope though.

rays of sunshine: fresh!

perspectives: this is dope. really nice bassline, it goes in and out. this is clever, it adds vibe. dope beat overall.

el naturale: another dope beat. nice samples and the way you play them is dope. keep it up!

Ray of sunshine - The flute is panned hard to the right, which is okay but I feel like something else should fill up the left. dope little chops and changeups. Real fresh Herbie Mann sound but the kick just doesn't do it for me, too flimsy.

Perspectives - This beat deserves an ill MC. Some filtering or aggresive EQing goin on in this one. Also I think I hear some nice reverb too. Best fx stuff i've heard from you. This may be one of the most polished beats you have turned out (either that or you flipped the sample insanely well) Solid track, nice bass, could stand alone but should really be rapped over.

El Naturale - Cool vibes, and nice muted horns. A beat like this desperatley needs a better bassline to carry it through the changeups, which are kind of rough. Snare is blah; needs more snap.
