I got you. Handling it now.

Anytime. Respect to cats who can take criticism without automatically assuming they're being hated on or dissed.

I don't buy a lot of CDs these days (admittedly). When I hear one that has over 60% of the songs I like, I support the artist. If you're underground and I feel what you're saying in your lyrics and don't perceive you as fake or all about the money, I support you.

Hmmm it's really basic. Throw another melody in there with a different instrument(s) to change it up a little. I'm thinking this is just a sample of a verse and maybe a hook. Drums are lacking too. Might want to experiment with different sounds to add into the drums to fatten it up.

It's got everything that you said it does, but I'm still hooked on that West Coast banger.

Nice work on that one. Head is noddin' and I actually freestyled to it for a few bars.

I wouldn't say do them to all your sounds....but it'll take some time for your ears to get adjusted to making beats. If you're mixing on regular speakers, they will confuse the hell out of you because speakers color up sound all the time. soundfont = a sound file that's used in a lot of...

Trakz Trakz Trakz TRAKZ....good to see you doin it my dude. Make us old heads proud ya dig. Fiev

I did this using nothing but stock sounds on Reason. With the right amount of tweaking and know-how you can make it BANG! Set Trippin' (REASON STOCK SOUNDS)

When I make this beat off just Reason's stock refills, I'll see about posting the file. It could probably help some people just getting started on how to work more with Reason.

Tip #1: Make your sounds fatter and have more presence with a little EQing, reverb, compression, and delay. Tip #2: If you experiment and find sounds that would work on the same melody, layer them and mix them (really good if one sound has higher treble or mid and another has bass) Tip #3...

I'm diggin' where you're going with this...I peeped the Youtube and saw a comment that said they remind you of Hopsin...I'd say more of a Hopsin/B.O.B. crossover. Only issue I see if it seems like you have two tracks and your background track isn't fitting right (almost like it's a few...

I'm still on some darker beats at the moment...that melody just wouldn't leave my head until I recorded it Cataclysm

I just figured it'd be an interesting thread to see what some of the cats making beats are using and what's some of the signature stuff they do in their beats that defines them. Hell, since I started the thread I'll go first.... For my beats I'm using Reason 5 (6 is useless for me right now)...

I've got about 3 brass horns layered in there with a good pizzicato track and I usually like going crazy with the drums on Redrum in Reason.

You did that in 30 - 45 mins on your first beat and no offense homie but it shows. I could give you a LOT of pointers to help you get alot farther in Reason (and possibly a LOT faster than it takes people usually) since it does have a HUGE learning curve but once you get past it, you'll find...

What are you using for your software? I'm using Reason 5, and the Malstrom synthesizer's default patch is a NICE sine bass to accent kicks.

I went in on this one.... Days Gone By

HDHM man it's been awhile kinfolk! Good to see you and the old heads still showin up cause we're all we got. Man, the way I do it is if I didn't make my next beat one of my best beats then I failed. Got another one I'm about to set up now. New post comin' Fiev

Here's another one I did yesterday while I had insomnia at 3am. Kalifornication
