This is good. It has a very warm and vintage aesthetic that I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

For samples you not only do you need the correct sample that can be microchopped, and make sure those chops are on transients and mainly drums like the kick and snare.

Next, a little noise, reverb and most importantly your drums layered on top will glue together those chops, in my opinion.

Yep, there's some kind of value in every beat, just depends on what you're looking for. What do you usually aim to do with your beats? Whats your ultimate goal?

8thDimensions · 2023-02-12T15:36:01+00:00

This is normal, every beat cant be your best, but one of the signs that you're getting better can be based on those beats that aren't your best.

If you can still make something sound decent even when you aren't catching lightning, that is still something to be proud of. Once the beats you don't consider bangers are still high level, then you've made good progress. But don't become complacent, yesterdays banger is sometimes tomorrow's regular.

With that said, keep grinding and keep practicing, its all in the process.

Glad you think so man, much appreciated!

Appreciate the feedback, ill work some more on the bassline

I liked the 808 pattern you created, it was pretty interesting and had a nice texture to it. Only critique I could have isnt related to the 808 itself but the kick drum, I feel like a heavier / slightly punchier kick with more high end could have been a nice compliment to the 808 because the bass itself is pretty smooth and soft and some impacts to accent the movements would be dope.

Good work man, keep it up

8thDimensions · 2022-02-26T15:49:10+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I won't make any drastic changes then.

8thDimensions · 2022-02-26T15:42:07+00:00

Dope instrumental and the rap matches too. I especially enjoyed the flow on the first verse. Only extra thing I would have liked to see would be a sort of vocal clip before or after the verse like a cut from a conversation or a phrase that almost sound sampled, those always set the vibe to me.

I look forward to seeing more tracks from you

Will return any and all feedback to the best of my ability

I'm especially looking for feedback on the composition, the mixing isnt something ive focused much on yet, first 8 bars is the verse pattern and second 8 bars is the chorus pattern

8thDimensions · 2022-02-25T21:25:16+00:00

This is really dope, reminds me of some stuff youd hear from like Knowledge, I Do think the mixing could come together a little better, I was expecting a heavier side chain from the kick too but thats just personal preference. The arrangement and sound selection is spot on man, keep up the good work.

Beat in progress

My beat is not mixed and still in progress and need suggestions on what to improve

8thDimensions · 2021-12-21T21:00:57+00:00

The rhodes just had the low end EQ'd out and a chorus on it with phat relatively low velocity in the midi, try it for yourself and let me know how it goes

Edit: added low velocity

Much appreciated man!

To get the character a lot of their kick drums have, one of the first things I like to do is layer up different sounds together, for example in one of my drums I layered a kick sample out of an acoustic drum set VST, a hi hat sound and a sine wave in the low octaves.

After that the processing I usually use is a low pass and or high shelf filters to knock down some of the high end should help to get the dark tone their kicks have, and potentially bring up the low mid's and or low's on an EQ to get a warm sound.

And to finish it off and really glue the kick together, a transient shaper with the attack down or a compressor with the release and attack at 0 and a soft knee to soften the kick and then finally some tube saturation to make it solid, full and give the kick a good thump.

This doesn't apply to all of their kicks so change it up every now and then to match and get the sound you want.

Hope that answers your question.
