the top one,altho they're all relatively new,this one is actually older then the others beneath it,i forgot i did it,just mixed it recently



K FELLAS,DIG IN!


edit:i added another beat on top so u dont get confused or anything

this is funky...I would definitely rock to something like this.

I'm really diggin Flonase Nasal Cleaner...

nebula - argh. add some reverb and some room to the hihats, it's so, um, mechanical at this point. like a shivering robot. the loop is cool as hell though, and the drums knock in all the right spots. immensely rhymeable. give a little more tlc to the kicks and such though, make 'em a bit more natural sounding, and you've got yourself a farking banger. good money.

welfare status - ha, this sounds like some'm celph titled would've done about 4 years ago. which is not a bad thing. lotsa space to get busy on this shit dude, props for making such mc friendly joints. props on burying the break behind the main drumline, adds a little air where things would've felt stale.

well done.

tay what exactly does 'add some space to the hats' mean exactly,since i know u know what ur talking aobut,but u sometimes arent very clear man



ur advice is always appreciated tho

whoops. sorry for the obtuseness, unintentional.

what i mean by adding space to the hats is adding some reverb to the individual sound.

see how it kinda chatters along now, like, chikchikchikchikchikchik. it sounds mechanical as all get out, to the point of being distracting. could even loosen up the timing, shuffle 'em out a bit. like, not every 8th note, every 8th and a 15th, if you dig.

for hihats advice, listen to pete rock. seriously. his programming is the blueprint for good money.

true indeed

you suck

haha jk.. good thing i know who you are

i already told you about these.. and you already know wasap with the nebula one

pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

CAC

Trinkets-- yeah this is smooth...cool melody. I kept waiting for it to become more prevalent in the beat but it kinda just laid there in the back. The kick seems overmixed to me and doesn't really fit the mood of the track, IMO. I think you need to add a couple more elements to this...I mean, its a good start but its too repetitive and doesn't really pull the listener in. I dig the jazzy guitar that comes in though.

anyway, just my 2 cents.

what do u mean by melody needs to become more prevalent?i was thinking about eliminating some of the high end percussion but it seems aight to me,and the kick well...in the words of ini,TO EACH HIS OWN

i meant that the samples you use seem like they're off in the background, especially compared to the drums. i think they ought to be louder and maybe eq'ed some

heh,maybe,thanks for peeping

trinkets - the kicks irking me too. not terrible programming or anything, but the sound of it's too harsh and meaty for the flow of the track. Other then that this is big pimpin, good ish


uhhhhhhh

just put on welfare status

bummmmp. that's all, this is ill. wish i was born in the 70's. drums are live, evrything's tight i'm happier with jamming my ear drums

flonase - i'd bring that snare up a bit, the hats are too loud compared to em. this is jazzy funk soul brotha type shit. goodness gravy

i dig your steez, keep it comin

I checked trinkets.
Those kicks hit HARD! Ver nice work there.
The whole vibe is pretty nice, that guitar change up was pretty dope, but I think you should turn the samples up a little more.
I also was expecting something else to happen, I don't know what, but I thought the whole beat was going to lead me somewhere ese.
I think this is dope though, none the less.

an emcee :D

trinkets - this mix is bad... drums aren't meshing with the samples they're just laid overtop... not really feeling the samples

welfare status - same thing with drums... unfunky funk

flonase - this mix much better... this is alright, not great not bad

rooftop showdown - yeah sounds like some soundtrack stuff... i could hear doom on this...

stuff is a bit bland for my taste... you need more layers to make it interesting...

you think the mix is better on flonase?uhhh ok

and sorry for not having ur tastes bruh,keep it movin

trinkets--cool samples. they're far in the background and i think you could EQ them to become more prominent. my main issue is the kick drum which sounds really out of place. the snare is cool though.

welfare status- this is cool. i like the funky guitar strumming. a lot of unused space on this though. a fat bassline would make this beat come to life and make the kick sound much fuller. not bad though.

nasal cleaner--i agree this sounds much better mix wise. i keep waiting for something to come on top of the loop though. this is all right, but i feel like i'm expecting a main part to be layered on top of it.

rooftop-this beat is tight. the little glockenspeil hits or whatever are sweet. when you bring that really loud horn sound in at 1:06 it kinda killed my ears. you should lower the volume a lil on that. maybe a nice bassline would make this even sicker?

they are right that kick drum on trinkets is ugly. sample is too low, the way its mixed sounds like the drums and sample are not moving at the same bpm, im not sure if they are or not.

they.are.wrong


AND FUCK BASSLINES I KNOW WHEN A BASSLINE IS NEEDED FOR MY BEATS NOT U!~~!

there is never a time when a beat doesnt need a bassline unless it has real bumpin ass kick drums

not today nova
