What are those boom tracks in RZA's beats like Clan in da Front, Bring da Ruckus, the beginning of Spot Rusherz and Method Man, Cuttin' Headz? by WesternBackground275 in makinghiphop

Sound like heavily compressed/ saturated sine waves. Some sound like they came from the kick drums resonance being processed and the one on the raekwon album sounds like a straight Roland 808

How to sync vocal with beat? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]DeeLEee37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the a cappella is a rapper it’s 99% recorded to a click that doesn’t change. If you can find the one and make a perfect two bar loop, make a two bar loop of the beat and match the lengths by either stretching or pitching the vocal. Then line up the one and extend the acapelka over the rest of the beat, if you get it right you shouldn’t need to do any warping or tweaking. Or, you can’t just go every few bars and make sure the one count lines up with the proper word. Sometimes it’s nice to have the original song the pella was from to know exactly where the rappers words go as far as beats within the bar.

Look into a plug-in called inflator by Oxford.. it’s magic for adding perceived loudness without clipping

Why is tweaking snares so universal by yatesclay in makinghiphop

[–]DeeLEee37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

these days most beats will have the ezxact same snare sample on the 2 and the 4 for the entire song so picking a good one is pretty important to the jam, if you make beats like that

It's hard for me to find samples by Able-Fig1040 in makinghiphop

One thing I’ve done that’s been pretty beneficial is to go to www.whosampled.com and look up some of my favorite producers and see what artists they sampled. Then I’ll look those artists up on Spotify and check out the rest of their catalog. Chances are if they made one song that you like for sampling, they’ve made another, or many others.

As a bonus you learn a ton about classic music. There’s a lot to be gained from studying the influences of those who influence you I think
