I'm thinking about posting some horrible beats I made to finally get some critique from strangers. I started messing about with making beats really late last year, so I haven't been at it long. All of my beats feel pretty flat and lack some sort of character. I prefer to try and make my own beats from scratch but I have tried sampling a little.

Here's the latest sampled beat I've made: https://soundcloud.com/bananastraps/without-him, it's pretty simple. The sample is from that Iji freeware game.

It's hard to pick out an orignal of mine, because they are all terrible. I have moved from painting things in the piano roll to recording straight from a midi controller though. I get some latency even with ASIO drivers selected so I usually drag my notes to be on time though.

Here is one of my originals: https://soundcloud.com/bananastraps/playin-video-games-all-day
To me it sounds flat and boring. I haven't really had any critique from anyone so here seems like a good place to get some advice.

This is my latest orignal: https://soundcloud.com/bananastraps/yolo-swaggins

I wanted to make one of those beats that has a fair bit of brass and strings and that's what I came up with when I tried to emulate that style.

Have a listen and let us know what you think, please.

Digging in the thread, found this.

I was listening to the first one and I was like "are they covering one of those classics from the golden era (spoonie g, stuff like that) or what? cos this song sounds loving familiar". And then I realized that I had downloaded the instrumental from your producer on this thread (or maybe the one before this) a while ago and loved it, so that was the reason I thought it sounded familiar.

So there you go, I unconsciously mistook your song for a loving classic. poo poo just got real.

I think it's cool (even when I'm more into the drum breaks/trippy/jazzy style of hip-hop), I like the vocal samples.

I've been working on this whole live thing with iMpc, the cassette 808 drum kit, and a box set of mandarin pop songs I bought off a street vendor. Here's the newest creation, not really finished at all, still palette building. I'm thinking some sort of 2pac sample..

Welp time to swallow my fear of criticism from you guys after my (admittedly horrendous) first music post. This was recorded in a much more legitimate manner, but still not the best. Beat was done by one of my good friends, who also mixed it. Tell me how much I've improved and what I still need to work on guys.

First of all tell the producer to cut that stupid rear end tag out, nobody is trying to steal his underwhelming drums and four synth patches. Also he should compress your vocals a little more.

Your delivery could be tighter, especially if you're going to fast-rap for most of the song. I liked how you switched between rhythms often and smoothly, but you stumble over your tongue at times. For the number of clear take splices I hear in these verses, you couldn't get a better version of some of the sloppier lines?

Overall I like the hook and see potential in the verses, you just need a better tracking session. Maybe do some tongue exercises (not kidding)

No problem. I mean, it wasn't bad, but I've heard a jillion indie rap songs that sound exactly the same and I have no way of telling them all apart. I dunno if that helps.

Admittedly my use of primarily 808 sounding drums (which are layered with non-808 samples in this case) is very overused- but for a reason. Motown drums have a specific sound, jazz drums have a certain style, and hip-hop has been intertwined with the Roland TR-808 drum machine since the 80's.

This next bit is my opinion, which is obviously fallible. Where are all these similar sounding beats? If you mean specifically the drum patterns, I'd challenge you to create ANY rhythm sequence that hasn't been used multiple times in recent history across multiple genres. I know of few producers who will gently caress with anything Disney related, for both 'street-cred' and copyright issues.

I'm not angry or hurt at your statements, I just don't see the validity of them. This is a constructive argument among peers, not a flame war :)

If you want a crack at making a more original beat, heres the exact youtube video I sampled from:
