Are these samples good enough to sell?

[BeatDaddy]

Was it something I said? I'm just trying to get a few honest opinions on if my samples are good enough to bring cash! These are a few simple samples I created......don't just listen say something!

You posted this before and I was one of the people who listened and didn't respond. Why? I didn't think I could answer your question, but I'll try. Would I buy them? No. What are these supposed to be anyway? Pieces of tracks? Not sure what you mean by samples.

So you're asking if these tracks are good enough to sell? To who and for what? I could maybe hear these on some commercial training video or something along those lines, maybe a low budget video game. Can't see people dancing to this stuff in a club or playing it in their car or putting words to it. I guess that kind of limits your market.

BTW, your last link is broken. I took the space out between Five and O, but still dead.

yeah gotta agree.

Good sounds, very competent, but way, way too 'busy' to be any use to a sampling musician (we want isolated, interesting sounds to play with by ourselves).

Only real use I can think of is as a backing track for someone to rap over, but I guess serious rappers want control over their 'sound' like everybody else, so that kinda narrows it.

Maybe work them up into full tracks, you've clearly got the expertise.

That's what I'm talking about!!!Use me, abuse me, make me write bad checks.

I composed these samples for Hip Hop tracks. They can use all of it, some of it, or pieces of it. I can compose them anyway they want. If you want something simpler, I can do that. I just wanted to know what real musicians and home recorders were looking for, so I gave you an exageration of the point. I guess I was looking for comments on the creativity and mixing as well.

Thanks guys,

Keep it coming

PS I fixed the broken link.

BeatDaddy,

You got the skills and sounds, you just need to expand on your ideas like Klytus said. If you can make something that busy, you should have no problem simplifying.

Expand on these a bit; give us an intro, a verse, a hook, maybe a bridge even and we can go from there. The way you have these tracks now makes it difficult to visualize lyrics, but like I say simplifying and expanding will get you where you need to be.

BTW, I wish I could help you in regard to your question about Computer Recording, but I'm a bit of a newbie in that arena. I've been producing for quite a few years but just recently started using a PC for recording.

I use Logic RPC, which was bundled with the Roland VM3100 Pro Digital Mixer. I've only been using it for about 6 months and I only use it for recording. I make all my tracks on hardware.

No... I can't do that! I'm too nice

It's obvious that you can do some good work. Why don't you just use those skills to make beats and sell them, you'd probably make more money.
