2928403, Preciated maan!!! Posted by _Torchbaras, Sat Apr-18-15 04:13 PM At 1st I aint notice the influence, all caught up in the work, but after layin down THAT break at the end of every 2nd loop, it hit me, like OH SHIT - thats that Preemo vibe rite there... I tried to still keep it "me" tho, aint tryna catch no biterstamp at this point lol... But yo, thx for the ears and the lines - its always dope to me to hear yalls opinion!!! Im curious as to what an analogue synthbanger sounds like... No pressure hah!
2931488, RE: #1, Ima let... Posted by ToeJam, Tue May-12-15 11:33 PM This is dope. Though that high pitched drone start to get a bit grating after a while.
2931628, Thanks man, Posted by _Torchbaras, Thu May-14-15 01:32 AM and youre right, it does get a bit annoyin...
2930818, Check it out Posted by HeadNodda, Thu May-07-15 08:32 PM Ive sat out a few rounds of these, then thumbdrive broke with my beats and samples, so i had to start over, life, work and whatever else. But here is something https://soundcloud.com/headnoddaproductions/dustycowboy
2931427, ROCK N ROLL!!! Posted by _Torchbaras, Tue May-12-15 05:16 PM DAYUM, this is TOUGH!!! This that slo burner, cats-dont-even-realize-how-hard-they-boppin-til- they-neck-broke type ish.... Mix is on point, everythin comes thru nice and clean, without compromisin the RAW... Reminiscent of one of my personal favs, Marco Polo, shit, you might as well throw Torae on here and call it double barrel lol... TOUGH I tell ya.
2931472, Dope shxt. Posted by herbiehowsermc, Tue May-12-15 09:59 PM I'd like to hear a longer mix of this. It definitely builds up as you listen to it. It's slow and steady and I think the sample work that you did work fantastic in building the vibe up. Definitely should be a song. Maybe not M.O.P., just one notch down from that like Ras Kass, Sean Price, somebody grimy... I'm blanking.
2931489, RE: Check it out Posted by ToeJam, Tue May-12-15 11:35 PM Dope. Drums dope. Mad space, especially in the melody. Builds nicely.
2931649, I'm diggin this! Posted by NoDrawls McGraw, Thu May-14-15 09:36 AM Dustycowboy was an appropriate title 'cus that was def some Wildwestgunslinger boombap. Some, "the showdown" type shit. Daps! Sidenote: And props for the resilience, I too recently lost a laptop/external harddrive full of music/samples/drumkits, the whole nine. That "rebuild hustle" is SO REAL! Stay strong, Duke!
2931486, Mines Posted by ToeJam, Tue May-12-15 11:31 PM https://soundcloud.com/tj-reynolds/guide-you-inst
2931629, RE: Mines Posted by _Torchbaras, Thu May-14-15 01:34 AM Yours dope too! Energy a bit "too positive" to set off a frenzy tho IMO.
2931651, I can dig it! Posted by NoDrawls McGraw, Thu May-14-15 09:41 AM I'm biased tho, I got a softspot for using the human voice in samples. Hotness!
2931647, An excerpt.... Posted by NoDrawls McGraw, Thu May-14-15 09:21 AM I'm still wrapping up production chores for my next Ep, "The Adventures of NoDrawls McGraw", and this is the last thing I flipped so far couple weeks ago. It ain't a full-fledge banger, but I think it got banger-tendencies.....LOL! Anyway, here's a snippet(anybody gank my shit, I'm in a tree next to your 2nd-story window wit' shurikens, katana, and smoke bombs ready ta infiltrate yo whole shit!...LOL) https://soundcloud.com/breezemedallionz/nite-fanmini-chris-wind
2931682, THIS THAT... Posted by _Torchbaras, Thu May-14-15 12:28 PM ...spent the night at the geishas house, early morning, sneakin out thru the rooftop window to avoid the emperors guards attention, mask only halfway on. You reach the edge of the forest, wind is blowing and its still smoke on the lake, you start wonderin if you should just grab that chick up and leave the assassin life for good, start a new one in a small village far east... This that! As you said yaself, I dont think this fits the challenge, but that bein said – its dayum dope fam!!! Real laid back, some reflect on yo life type shit! I like the heavy hi pass, combined with the ultra lo filters – sometimes leavin out the middle works wonders! Drums has a nice groove and sound to em, without takin over, dig that!!! Last but not least, Im glad you finally joined in – we been needin your input for the longest man... Jump aboard the newest challenge (#9), you could def. Do some DAMAGE in that one!!! Also, lookin forward to that new album, its been a while since the last one, startin to itch...

2931824, RE: CHOPS15 Challenge#7 - Necksnappin Headbangin Posted by wisdom31, Fri May-15-15 02:50 PM Here is a little somethin' I chopped up with my NI Maschine "Live Long And Prosper (Decker Avenue Anthem)" Produced by WISDOM https://soundcloud.com/wisdomsince70/live-long-and-prosper-decker-avenue-anthem "Po' folk need help they call it welfare, but rich folk need it then y'all call it a bailout..." -----Phonte ("The Best Of Times") TWITTER: @WisdomSince70 FACEBOOK: Wisdom1970 WISDOM SEEKER Blog: http://wisdom40.blogspot.com
2931834, Long live!!! Posted by _Torchbaras, Fri May-15-15 04:48 PM 1st and foremost, welcome to the CHOPS15 – nice lil piece you brought here... Durin the intro, I was thinkin this might be a bit too soulful to really have that energy I was talkin bout, but the chords you brought for the chorus changed that – triumphant but still melodic soulful brass chops rite there! I think it works dope how you only got the lead playin at 1/2 or 1/4 of every 1 bar loop, fillin the rest out with the lil piano and the bass hits!!! I think the bassguitar could benefit from a pitch change every now and then, say when you bring the chord changes in the lead in for the chorus, you should have the followin fill follow that given bassnote to extend the chords and climax... Drums got that nyce dust, and the flow of the breakish rhythm is a nice contrast to the short chops... Sidenote: that filter youve got at the end dope, you could implement that in the main piece as well... All in all, SOLID work man, solid!!!
2931848, RE: Long live!!! Posted by wisdom31, Fri May-15-15 05:40 PM I appreciate the feedback fam! I'm glad you gave an honest critique of that joint. Anything to push the boundaries and hone my craft I'm definitely cool with. Keep up the great work!

2936014, Here's Mine "Chevy Heavy" Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Wed Jun-24-15 11:17 AM I started working on this the last week in May but wanted to make a few other challenges before sending this one in, I figure most of the necksnappin' tracks have a rock sample in it so I went thru some records and found a dope song by Foghat and went for it. "Chevy Heavy": https://soundcloud.com/djjoeyjoe/heavy-chevy-okp-chops-15-pt7
2936060, Owww HELLS YEAH!!! Posted by _Torchbaras, Wed Jun-24-15 05:28 PM This my shit fam!!! Has that RAW rockish energy with a nice pace to go with it - heads aint noddin when this comes on somethin wrong with the crowd! Dope intro just builds that POWER til it bursts into the ill distorted guitar line – that DOPE!!! Lil verbed woodblocks are the icing on here, subtle takin ova hah... Put this on and catsll lose it... Almost forgot, warms my heart to see you drop three of these at a time!!!
