sup my man?
Well... Where am I? I'm still lurking on the boards but I don't post in this forum anymore... That DJ'FINGAZ shit just made me go away... It's too bad because I enjoyed commenting and critizing other people's beats but with all the shit that has been going on in this forum lately, I just don't post anymore...
Since you've always commented on my beats, I'll comment on yours:
- First, your bass: Nice, I can hear it, but it's located too much below the 120hz mark... Try to boost frequencies in the 200Hz-400hz range of your bass and see what sounds best... It will add some 'presence' to your bass.
- Try to add a slight reverb to what LAZI called 'The high pitched piano'. It would make everything stick together more.
- Again, on that 'high pitched piano', you remember when I was talking about envelopes? Try to add some decay maybe to that sample... The sample just cuts too abruptly which is a bit unpleasant to the ear...
- I can see (Should I say 'hear'?) what you're trying to do with the kick and the snare: quick 'meaty' hits (I don't know if you get me here). You achieved it greatly. Only thing I would do is to boost up the levels of these two BUT KEEP THE BALANCE!!! It's perfect! (By keeping the balance, I mean if you boost one by 2db, boost the other by 2db too... Nahmean?)
- That bass piano hit; try to put it somewhere else or find a melody for it. I have a lot of new beats and I did some without using samples (Yeah! Can you believe it?! Beathoven making beats without samples!) And I think that if used chords in conjunction with the high pitched piano notes, it would make the beat really 'full sounding'.
- The strings get out of key sometimes but I can help ya much with this problem cause I have the same when I make my basslines...
Peace bro,
Beathoven
