I created this one with a different thing in mind. I don't know what style this even is but I kinda liked it. I wanted it to be clean and simple and have a vocal track take over the song instead of having heavy synths and distorted drums. This one is EQ'd very well too, so give me feedback on...

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that maybe using the girl might be better. I will have to try it out and see. I may use both and alternate them no? I am working on some video to go with it as well, maybe that will draw more attention. thanks for the feedback.

Hey all, I did a colab with QB, can you guys give me some feedback on it? This will be a "theme" version for the site, most likely in a flash piece also be on a "featured artist" page. Let me know how it sounds (quality, creativity etc.) 20Dollarbeats.com Promo featuring qb2k5 spittin...

I use compression wherever or whenever needed. For example, if you have a bassline track and you need it punchier, you will notice if you eq that to your liking it will be too loud or too overpowering. Use the eq and compression to get it at the right level you need. Then you can add a little on...

Yeah, I agree, not bad but it sounds like he's reading the pad. Use some compression on the final mix too. It may "blend" the sound together a little more too. Your on the right track though, I like the beats, they hot.

I like your vids. He shot them well and they look very pro. Even the compression is impressive. However, I was losing interest within the first 30-40 seconds. You should feature the band singing/performing more. I dont recall seeing the "band" performing at all. maybe I missed it not sure...

he must be doing something right. If you were making that dough with someone else's rhymes, whould you complain then? I think not. It's amazing how people hate the one who succeed. Whats wrong with you? Diddy wasn't handed that shit, he worked his a** off for it.

Cool thats good info. I made a few changes, please let me know if this is any better. I re-the bassline and made it sound cleaner. Also, I add a few other little elements as well. I made it a little fuller too. http://www.20dollarbeats.com/demos/HH043-98-bpm-speakertest2.mp3 This is not mixed...

How come P diddy aint listed? He's 2nd in the list of most money (under Jay z) Does that count for anything?

Great site. Thanks for the link. I am DL the first one now. I'll let you know if it's any good. :)

Yo per, thats some nice beats man. And with that flow, its even better. If you mix it down again with that vocal track, post it so we can hear what ya doing. I could not resist. I had to see what that pella sounded like on that beat I did a few days ago with the help of the members here. I only...

That's funny. You are 22 with no kids. Wait till you do have one of your own. your attitude will change instantly. As for "his parents whooping his ass" in today's world, you can't be a parent 24/7 He is 15 yrs old and out and about just like you were. Also, I agree he should get a big ol...

I used to have my own DJ company which was very successful, however I felt i was getting too old to be doing it so I got into computers (1993) From there, I taught myself how to do everything from graphic design to audio production. I started my own company in 1999. My main company is a high...

How's this sound on your Monitors? Can you guys help me out again? I made a new beat yesterday and I want to know how it sounds on different sets of monitors. I am looking for overall sound quality. This is an mp3 (which sucks) but it's better than guessing what it sounds like on other systems...

Yo X, I make an average of $120/hr. I work from home about 3-4 hr/s day while watching my 2 sons (2 1/2 and 6 weeks) grow up. One of my many sites has a client that signed me for 6 figures this year (Merril Lynch) It took me 3 years to get to this point and it's getting better every year. Does...

Thanks guys. It's a real hot beat now. It's funny how just a few opinions from others can open the creative gates. Thank for all the help. it's good to know there is a "REAL" forum out there, and this is it.

Best Forum Hey guys, thanks for all the great info and help with this track. I took all of your advice and switched it up alot. First, i took out the sax and replaced it with a grungy guitar sound, then added a whiny synth (has a west coast feel to it now) and I also added some timpani drums...

Hey, here is the beginning of something, can you listen to it and let me know what I can add to it. It's missing something. I tried strings, horns, and other ideas but I did not like any of them. Let me know, thanks. http://www.20dollarbeats.com/demos/DS001-90-bpm-sample2.mp3

Sample 3 doesn't get more "creative stereo panning"? I processed every channel to give it serious separation. I think it sounds better than most I've heard but that my opinion. Did you hear number 3? #4 is a lo-fi mono sample, buy I wanted to show the other elements in the track like guitar and...

Yo guys, I started out using Reason 1.0. It was the biggest learning curve. for most people, if you can't do something right away within an hour or so, they shit-can it and say it sucks. I kinda did the same thing but I knew It was far better than I was thinking. It took me about a year to start...
