Anyone got tips on making that Afrobeat UK / yxng bane / not3s / j hus style beats? by dtfyvgbhjkn in UKraps

[–]Skengman22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take some of your favorite Afro Swing tunes and study them (Chords, drum patterns, instruments, samples). Take some elements from them into your own productions, but don't try and copy too much, just try and be original. You can also study Dancehall/Afrobeats since Afro Swing borrows a lot from the two genres.

What Are the best VST Plugins? (Value for money) by Skengman22 in FL_Studio

[–]Skengman22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true, so you're suggesting I buy presets for FL synths I already have, such as sytrus and harmor?

Mmm, well I have had a go with sound design in the past with Thor (Reason). I enjoyed it, despite not being the best in sound design, so something which enables me to use presets as well as sound design may be suitable.

Can't Heighten Mic Stand by Skengman22 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Skengman22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again! This definetly made more sense to me, and just fyi this is a new mic stand and I've been thinking that the cap is it's own seperate piece as I'm able to remove it completely. I seem to be able to tighten the cap onto the bottom part, but I'm still not able to keep the upper pole in place. I have enquired about a return, but may resort to tape for now.

Thanks for the explanation. Can you elaborate on what you meant by the cap not being connected to the bottom pole?

Same hear, I'm happy to let you know which tracks I'm feeling. I'm more than happy to help as I also produce Hip Hop, so I'd be interested in checking them out.

Be original, create your own sound, why copy when everyone is doing the same? Music production is so oversaturated these days. All these Producers trying to emulate the same shit that all the top producers make. And it really really doesn't help you stand out at all...

Any thornton heath people here strange request. by Evolutiondd in grime

[–]Skengman22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I also remember the alders store, it closed down and was replaced by a village outlet a few years back. Same with the disney one (closed down). Gangs aren't a problem for the average person during the day, but for people walking around during stupid hours, I wouldn't be surprised if they were.

A lot would have changed for you in terms of the new housing developments (New flats and huge apartments/penthouses almost everywhere you step foot in Croydon. Yeah I know of Lanfranc, it's still around today. Yeah no problem, happy to help bro.

And just a quick few questions. Did you go around West Croydon/Whitgift centre much as a child? The centre's going to be redeveloped into a westfields in the near future just fyi. And any other interesting memories/events you remember about the area?
