Music Producers / Studio Thread

make em holmes, it's really fun

easy to make a perfect kick with basic synthesis + sample layering

snares are all about the perfect layering + filtering

and then you compress, eq, reverb and saturate to taste

[minou]

yo i'm sorry i didn't post my take on the gucci mix. i kinda gave up after awhile.

but damn disk, your new tracks are great. your drum sounds are perfect and sounds very "full". me likeyyy.

[haploid]

we need to get more participation in this thread!!!

anyone who doesn't produce have anything to say about any of the tracks posted up?

[ROYALEFATALE]

made this a while ago

[haploid]

wow that's crazy cool. like that synth (?) a lot. really cool warm sound overall.

good job balancing the weighty kicks with the bass. the midrange of this track is just right.

[Ghettobob]

thanks dude, yeah it was a synth. I'll look it up when I get the chance. I'll will be posting more (in one post) in a bit.

50 minutes later:

I added some of my more recent beats to YouTube. Should've done that a while ago.

I added more to my YouTube page, I just didnt want to spam the thread

[Ghettobob]

WTF, that shit sounds crazy. I love it, the drop is ridiculous. I wanted to hear more, you should extend it!

I also hear a faint sound around :54 See how it sounds if you make that louder

[its always cloudy]

So I want to get into beat-making, and have decided on the AKAI MPD 24 and Reason and Logic to get me started. Can anyone recommend me some resources to read to get accustomed to the world of hip-hop producing? I am literally taking a shot in the dark here. I mostly love learning on my own, but realize that it will probably set me back a ton...

[ROYALEFATALE]

i have an MPD24 i use with Logic, read into how to create instruments from samples with the EXS24 in Logic, you'll be making beats in no time.

[caspian c]

made this a few months ago with an MPC 500, Logic 8 (cracked), Fender tele and a few pedals

[Ghettobob]

Just finished making this.

Just finished making this!

[haploid]

boost the 300hz in the snare a bit and add a lil presence and a bit of compression to make it a bit snappier

cool concept though! glad to see this page getting some love.

[alexryb]

yo that was pretty cool a2b489, but WHAT IS THAT SECOND SAMPLE THO DAYUMM>>> you should share more of your music if you got it, I have enjoyed the experimental bent in all your trax

the second sample is kind of this skewed version of the rest of the song with soulja boy vocals. made this track the other day, radiohead sample:

[destructodisk]

haha yeah I recognized it instantly, I was just foolin cuhh.

dig the track you just posted, especially the marching snare sound!

snake edit::::

a2b489 - yo I am sorry for that piss poor excuse for a compliment above, the track was nice and I only vaguely recognized the radiohead flick. also definitely appreciated all of your drum sounds -- very fat and essential bruh. i also happened to use a marching snare sorta sound in a beat i made today:

cheque it unique trapp beat of the day pt. 1

not quite how i wanted it to turn out, but i like the ending

[minou]

new shit for upcoming project. sampled beethoven on this one.

edit: oh this one comes with a video too. lol

[haploid]

yeah!!! that's fucking dope dog! the beat is nice and disorienting which fits the vocal style a lot. only thing i would do differently would be to put a bit of a "slap back" delay (a delay at about 50% wetness and no feedback with like a 30-60ms delay) on the vocal during the chorus to give a more dramatic effect.

otherwise enjoying this track and video a lot.

[minou]

thanks alot du! glad you enjoy it! oh yeah and the so called "chorus", i didn't pay attention to the vocal mixing because i didn't actually want it to sound like a chorus? vague right? i know but that's why i didn't pay special attention to it but thanks for the input though. i'll see what i can do with it in further mastering for the project.

[destructodisk]

good job Minou, I enjoyed the music video. Beat was dope and everything sounded really well mixed on my end. I think I prefer your vocal approach on the last mixtape you put out -- it's got less of the faux aggression I felt on this track. Also, you guys shouldn't do the whole swag thing and cook chef ish. Makes what I feel like otherwise is a solid, genuine effort to put out a good track look kinda bandwagoney.. Definitely excited to hear more from you guys though, keep it up!
