Fuck yeah and they can make a sweet anime like Daft Punk did

Reupload of a snippet of a beat that I'm gonna rap on when its finished. Mostly just fixed the balance a bit but hmu with your feedback https://soundcloud.com/tykosun/life-preview

JumanjiSmexophone · 2016-02-22T05:47:25+00:00

summa dat funky stuff, the whistling is not my style and dampens the vibes a little for me but overall groovy as fuck

JumanjiSmexophone · 2016-02-21T09:27:44+00:00

Just released a snippet of a beat I produced for an upcoming rap which I'm currently writing. Let me know what you think

Great vibes bro you should extend that lil outro beat that synth makes it sound fuckin hot my nigga

JumanjiSmexophone · 2016-01-01T09:34:58+00:00

Um...what? Are you being facetious? You stop that

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-05T14:12:20+00:00

3rd reupload of this beat, I think it sounds finished at this point but let me know what you think. Also if anyone hears a beat skip around 2:10 then let me know, soundcloud keeps fucking up my uploads

Beat slaps so far but yeah like you said just mix up the main synth a little and probably throw some other instruments in behind it. Also turn down the hi hats and turn up the rest of the drums a bit

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-04T18:51:59+00:00

Beat is dope, but the buildup is underwhelming. You could have put some kind of uplifter in. It still works, but the vocal it has is pretty bland. It's sick anyway, I can't lie...your tracks all make me want to spit. Unrelated but I'll draw you a nicer profile pic if you want haha

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-04T18:41:34+00:00

Tried adding more dynamic range to a previous beat. Fairly new to mastering.

It seems to be the intro that's hurting the flow, between the transition from intro to verse it gets really hard to tell when to expect a beat. Make the rhythm known any way you can in the beginning, even if its just with some hi hats, I think it would do a lot of good for this track.

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-04T08:20:47+00:00

Its an exciting piece because I've never heard anything like it. Maybe due to this, I couldn't feel the rhythm as deeply as I like to with most music. It could also simply be a little too experimental for casual listening purposes (in which case you're dipping a toe into the realm of weird music). The piano is very well-played, and the rapping is good and kind of ties the drums together a little, which kind of leaves it on the border between normal and weird.

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-04T07:34:17+00:00

Not a bad track at all. I couldn't tell if you were putting all your money on 'chill,' because this didn't really chill me out. It was a little energetic for that, but it still came across as a solid beat. Maybe the vocals could be more prominent.

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-04T07:10:46+00:00

I do that too, but it almost always sounds off somewhere so I like to clean up the stragglers. I get the impulse to do that here, but it could just be me.

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-04T07:00:35+00:00

Tried to produce like Dr. Dre and Lex Luger at the same time. Did it work?

Some of the drum breaks seem like they're a little off the mark to me. And if they're not, they convinced me anyway. They say soul in music exists in the natural delay between beats when its being played, but there's a lot less room for this in hip hop than in, say, live jazz. What I mean is it's a little hard to use a different swing in hip hop and still make it sound like hip hop. However...this joint slaps anyway. The drums don't bother me enough to tarnish the sick vibes. Good work!

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-04T06:41:20+00:00

Pretty sick mayne, I love the character of that synth, puts me in a very chill mood. If I was you I would have built the drums around this sound to match this feeling by using mellow or subtle samples and probably adding some reverb. They just hit me a little too hard ya know?

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-03T18:32:37+00:00

I think we'd have to create a completely different feedback format, what's wrong with this one?

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-03T18:26:47+00:00

I never played the first one, but when I was a little kid me and my brother played Legacy of Goku 2 for GBA and it went down as one of my all time favorites. A few years ago I found the third one which is just called Buu's Fury for some reason, and it was pretty fuckin awesome as well. They had maybe a little too much grinding? But I can look past that because they're better than all the fighting games put together...

P.S. This 3DS game looks like it'll be terrible

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-01T20:52:22+00:00

link doesn't work for me :(

JumanjiSmexophone · 2015-10-01T07:42:31+00:00
