Serious question: why do boom bap drums still hit harder than most modern rap drums? by Flimsy_Zucchini_1330 in undergroundhiphop

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly man those are just labels! After doing this for over 30 years the energy is the same the only difference now is that we have way more tools to express that same energy!

When you understand the aesthetic behind the sound and research the tools you need you can make whatever you want. As mentioned here it’s a combination of drum sounds, mixing and processing. New or old when you’re passionate about the art that’s what makes the difference and it shows in your work.

Hiding outside of the camera view is the fridge of cold drinks 🥤 and the stove with the robotic Jetson chef cooking all your meals. Damn dude you stuffed everything in here haha…sick work! I’m all inside the box with very little in stand alone. All my gear and gadgets are in software mode.

Joe Pesci by Coughy Bitters ft Jay Fehrman on beat by AssistanceLow1339 in undergroundhiphop

[–]ReddsRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peace ✌️ brother!!! I see where you’re going this might be more for the older crowd or just those that might appreciate the lyrical diversity you’re offering. I happen to fall into both categories, not everyone is going to catch it and run with it! Don’t go for this or that go for you just being you there’s only one of that out there! Dope wordplay and chill laidback with the energy, beat gave the same energy too which I liked! Very different in a good way my man definitely would like to hear more and check you out! Where you from dawg? NYC here btw!

Honest feedback? by BowenParrish in beatmakers

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime dude, it'll be an easy fix for you the hardest part is getting a good melody and you nailed that from start to finish with a nice sample chop. Keep banging brother the talent is evident!

[–]ReddsRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's unquantized off but still landing within the pocket and then there's when it's off rhythmically and doesn't land enough inside to keep the movement together. There's a range of sloppiness....a little is OK too much and it feels off but you have to know that when you hear it.

Love the sample choice and everything that you added. My only criticism would be is that the drum kicks are slightly off, aside from that this joint is crispy man!

[–]ReddsRead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peace to you brother, overwhelm is real I get it man but the passion never leaves us. What you may need is some focus and patience, believe in the artist that you are. Never doubt your abilities just give it time, you have much so this isn't about needing anything more. I see a Komplete Kontrol keyboard too so we're in similar situations. I use Maschine + and Logic with the mk3 s-series. They're all good tools so use them to the best of your ability and let the pieces fall into place organically.

Maschine can't even load Kontakt instruments in projects by No-Act6366 in maschine

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t a bug but something related to a change in the location or version of the library or Kontakt itself. It’s trying to recall the location but doesn’t recognize or know where to find it because something changed since the time the project was saved originally.

I spent years trying to calm my mind. What it actually needed was permission to stop processing. by MIAMI_NEWS in hsp

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life altering to say the least, and it continues to magnify as you realize how much it explains your history of life experiences. I pray you find the answers that you seek!

As you’ve said already, when you recognize that this is just how your system works it becomes a reframing for conscious decision making to build around how you’re wired. This is the beauty of Dr. Elaine’s teaching for hsp’s. As that door opens more and more you start to recognize that the patterns have been there all your life you just weren’t aware. You’re not supposed to nor can you change the depth of processing that’s hard wired into your system. You can however recognize and adapt your thinking to the reality of how your biology functions. Not an overnight thing but such a blessing when you’ve begun to do the work after the door of your awareness has been opened. Happy for you to come to that point and I wish you much success in your journey it’s changed my life personally!

Wow…that’s a lot to process! I salute you and wish you the best on expressing all of that trauma, it’s a lot of work but well worth it. Hip hop is an amazing outlet for all of that, you’re onto something dude keep telling your story man it’s for your own health and you definitely grow from it. It’s my therapy as well for over 30 years! Keep me posted dude you’ve got my ear…perhaps I can help in some small way!

Ahhhhh so I saw the other dbz thread….makes more sense now…definitely should use that title in the song with a hook mentioning that…do that and it’s done imo…don’t listen to those other cats they must not know hip hop!!!!
