the first track--> i thought the initial flute\synth sound's attack was a bit sharp, at least at the beginning. other than that the track was dope.
twilight dunes--> i like your shit. it sounds a lil light in the drums and bass, but i think youve done that purposely. i think its slightly too minimalistic. maybe just some strings over the top. i liked this one more than the first.

Cool. Pretty good production. Energetic beats, that's always good. The rhyming didn't do it for me. It wasn't bad, but rhythmically it just wasn't quite in the pocket, and the voices didn't have enough of that confidence that just comes from recording many songs and years of live shows.
But I do see a strength in the ability to compose a chorus. I thought that was done pretty well, especially the vocal laying on the hook.
This is actually a really old beat but I don't have anything new. 'Track 7', one of the first things I made in FL Studio. I thought it was FIRE for a minute though, haha.

If i were you I'd try to bring the first (repeating) guitar riff up in the mix and place an occasional accent on the first note of it, maybe sounding the same note on another guitar or even another instrument, That's just me though. Its cool though.
19. "would like to hear some better drums on lochness" In response to Reply # 4
creative sampling, would preffer some livelier drums and a more fluid drum track personally
again though, creative sampling. the kicks have a nice punch, just the pattern and the snare i would like to hear flipped
drums on Testin are dope, pattern and all. the sample is dope, would like the sample to move a little more on this lol. i'm never satisfied. drums are bangin here though.
daybreak- here is the balance i been wantin hear. good shit. needs an mc to spit some illness over it now.
kuti... dope shit. could use a little more of a fluid motion drumwise, but thats not even that big a deal here. good work.

lochness--> this is dope for some deconstructed sounding ish. i think the ladies voice should be truncated shorter.

I LOVE IT!
i dont normally like making suggestions or anything to other ppls beats (im a terrible feedback person) but i would love to hear the kick drums sound a bit less.. like they do.. and then for maybe a 808 or some bass thump just to play off those kicks
20. "the look is imaginative and outside the box" In response to Reply # 5
needs a different hat sound to my ears though. this would benefit from layering the samples with different filter and pan settings. the hats kinda mess this up for me though, i would simply suggest a new hat pattern and hat sound.
richard long- again, imaginative and outside the box...however, it sounds like an intro, a buildup to something that just never arrives. the sample is promising but honestly i would go back to the drawing board on the drums. the sample could be a banger but the drums let it down.
maybe you will understand me now.... love the drums on here, just fel like they clash a bit with the sample.

hey thanks for some feedback. yeah i'm pretty much just experimenting a lot now a days, i'm definitely feeling the comments, sometimes i try to force sounds together that don't really belong, like i'm close to getting it and then i don't.

Just a heads up, if you're gonna have a download you should post it in MP3 format to save folks the download time and space. Which ever program you use might have a 'Render to MP3' option. Look into it.
Best Think - Nice swing and feel to it. Could use some more elements I think. I get lost in the track, meaning I can't really follow the structure of the song. The hat gets a little annoying, maybe add some more variation to it.

Thank u. I agree, I'm still not done with the beat, there are a few other sprinkles from the record I want to include on that one.
> >before dawn... great sample. nice bangin line, solid bass, >pete rock would be proud.
lol, thanks again bro. I started makin beats last april so my own style hasn't full developed so naturally I will sound a bit like my main inspirations, Dilla/Pete Rock, etc,.

92. "RE: haven't posted new shit in a while" In response to Reply # 9
that's a pretty cool groove. I'm with Truth, could use something a little different like some guitar. Or to keep with the smooth feel, some DJ Quick type flute riffs to give it alittle more funk.

60. "RE: four new ones for your consideration" In response to Reply # 14 Sat Feb-24-07 04:39 AM by ToeJam
Vous Aimes - nice and simple, enough room and mood for an emcee to flip that.
Ivory - dug it up until the voice gets chopped it, then it feels overly chopped and looses focus to me.
Listen - I'm picking up a pattern here. It seems like you chop the hell out of one song, using a lot of parts of it but not really any samples from any other sources, and put drums under it. Not to say these aren't good grooves, or good starting points, but they just don't have enough creativity in them for me to appreciate it, or enough to elevate these chops past the samples you are using to consider it a truly original new work.
A Slow One - feel the same. Really too safe without any fingerprints.
You have a good ear for grooves, but there's not enough in the beats to make them stand out to me. And the repitition gets old. I felt that for all the beats.
over all they are cheer, but here is some contructive feedback. That 1st joint, Blaise, you KILLED ME when you had that pad at the beginning and then just CUT IT OFF, no release or nothing, just cut, that's a wrap. I was MAD. Otherwise the track was alright probably could have used a sprinkle of shakers or closed high hat here and there, but it was straight. Also, some of your synths or synth/lead loops, you might want to run them throw a chorus effect or some (NOT ALOT) of reverb. Peace.

Actually no keyboard. All samples. I rather likeed the cutoff but it seems I'm in the minority. I do agree I need some effects sprinkled throughout all my beats.
Thanks.
Never heard someone call something "cheer" before...
blaise -- intro pad thing was a little weird, not sure that the cut off works as an intro? drum break needed to switch up a little more. samples are mixed nicely.
draculove -- not sure the snare sound fits with the mix. nice combination of samples + synth. sorta a little too ambient for my tastes, but nicely done for a downtempo thing.
you're never gonna -- the best of the three, i think. has a premier feel, which i'm into it. don't really like those hihats that come in. i think you could get more out of this beat, though -- sample works nicely, but i think you could get it to knock a little harder with a better use of space for the drums + a better drum kit. thinking of "d'evils" as an example.
overall, think maybe this style is just not my sort of thing, but your mixing/choice of samples is good.
>blaise -- intro pad thing was a little weird, not sure that >the cut off works as an intro? drum break needed to switch up >a little more. samples are mixed nicely. > I agree on the drums sounds switching up. This has actually been written to already by my African Drum teacher Blaise, who raps in bete, which is a mix of French and African dialects. Sounds smooth as hell.
>draculove -- not sure the snare sound fits with the mix. nice >combination of samples + synth. sorta a little too ambient for >my tastes, but nicely done for a downtempo thing. > I've actually found that this beat is really good to flow to. I think a lil reverb and lower volume will help the snare.

This beat has already been sold. Had the myspace page about a week. Already sold one off the page and another as a result of that. The high-hats can go down. The repitition works well for an emcee. > >overall, think maybe this style is just not my sort of thing, >but your mixing/choice of samples is good.
Thanks. I have many different styles, so stay tuned.
Actually two new beats/songs on the page right now.

Yeah, I make all my beats for emcees, so I try to keep the changes to a minimum. Good thing you're not advising Dr. Dre, eh? The beats been sold already (my first sell!). > >Also i liked the change up that closed it that was dope. I >liked that better than the main loop.
That change sounds so good just because it's so different, but using the same sounds. > >Its an average beat imo > > Thanks for listening. Appreciated.

I think this same production would sound better of the actual melody was cooler. The melody is kind of clunky, so as nice as some of the sounds are they don't hook the listener.

I didn't like that first pause in there, that was totally silent, it was too abrupt. That guitar rift could use some more variation per bar, or something to make it continuous. The rhythym is ok.

yeah that so sexy remix was prett fresh. i rekon the bass sounds a bit out of place. this is my first beat made on garageband lol. its all i got. i need suggestions to improve it. peace
The "So Sexy" remix is suffering from serious lack of melody. Her voice is out there on it's own, so it never gels. Too many percussive sounds trying to make up for a lack of a little good keyboard playing.
That was my point, I liked her voice and that's what I was going for. Anyway, it's something I was playing with... If you play keys be my guess... Download it, add keys and hit me back...

Move On/Parade - I like guitar loop. It works well. With the rhymes it doesn't really get old, just rotates nicely. But the low end is suffering. That bassline especially could use some doubling. If that were thicker you could play with the cutting of other parts in and out.

Welcome 2 Durham - Starts cool, but that keyboard gets abrasive and is hard to listen to. Also, it seemed like there were no changes, or even stripping things in and out. It got boring to listen to.
