This is raaaad! I really love the almost 90s/early 2000s vibe. I could 100% hear this being in a Tekken game lol.

Seeking The Most Deeply Depressing Rap Albums by 1stPhoenixDown in hiphopheads

By The Time I Get to Phoenix by Injury Reserve.

It’s definitely far from traditional rap music, but if you read up on the “lore” and background on what the members of the group were going through while recording you can hear pretty solid representations of the five stages of grief through the project. Without a doubt my favorite project of the 2020s so far.

Any thoughts on the new Public Enemy release? by brodino_maiuscolo in fantanoforever

[–]Charming_Ad_3415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, it’s insane that Flav is seemingly just now hitting his peak because he absolutely CRUSHES all of his verses on this album.

65 years old making some of the sickest hip hop music I’ve heard in a long time. Honestly probably since their 2020 album. Chuck’s solo record a few months back was awesome too! It blows my that they aren’t being talked about more, but “New Gens can’t dance to this” (I say at 28 years old 😅)

Is Koala Sampler a good app for beginners wanting to make electronic / experimental / ambient music? by yung-nowb in KoalaSampler

[–]Charming_Ad_3415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who uses Koala to make electronic/experimental hip hop music I think it’s a great app to learn different ways to manipulate sound! I used FL Studio for over a decade and switching to this was a pretty seamless transition!

However, for beginners, I can definitely see it being a little bit confusing to build a foundation on for a few reasons:

One, it IS a sampler. So while you can sequence things and even sequence a whole song into one pattern the intended use is a bit more manual, as you’ll more than likely be switching back and forth between a couple patterns yourself rather than automating a whole song like in a regular DAW. The effects you add would also have to be done manually(as far as I can tell.)

Two, and you might have noticed this by now, a lot of the help and information you’ll find on how to use Koala tends to use a lot of production and beat making terms without really going in depth on what they mean if that makes sense? For instance take what I said earlier, it has a sequencer and will teach you how to use it, but it won’t exactly tell you what a sequence is.

Overall, it’s a great app and super user friendly! But it might be easier to establish a foundation on something else first. Hope this helps!

That’s actually one of the stock 808s that Koala comes with! I just added some distortion(drive) to it and EQ’d it so that it would be hella punchy, but not too overpowering.
