There is a freestyle club at my uni that wants me to make a 'group joint' for everyone in the group the group to put a verse on similar to 1 train or oldie by odd future. I've put down a couple of ideas but nothing that I think could be listenable for 6-8 minutes. I'm thinking that I should keep it as simple as possible but with an interesting enough sample to hold people's attention. So yeah, what are some of your favorite 'squad' tracks?

Re-worked the mix on an old project, much more satisfied with it now. https://soundcloud.com/angelure/jeunesse-melangee If anyone would care to listen to it and point out any obvious mixing errors or things that could be improved, I'd be really happy to do the same for you in exchange.

I've been experimenting with cypher style sessions at the end of my shows and they go alright...trying to find ways to improve them though. I was thinking a little flash card style 'here's the deal' type thing but that seems weird

maybe just make the transitions at predictable places like on the 16 or 32, and give some sort of cue in how you mix it - listen to old J DILLA beat tapes to hear how they go from one to the next without pausing

Or tease a stab in for a bit before it hits properly on the one when new section drops.

This is what we wound up doing it worked really well. We didn't wind up recording a track, but my band played a few songs behind a number of the MCs at a music festival held at my school. Most notably this instrumental https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-qmZ_J7WGc.

Hi I'm new here. Every few weeks I go on a binge and write a bunch of electronic music, and after churning out a few WIPs I turn a few into proper songs. It always wrecks my weekend. This time around I'm doing hip hop, which is a genre I don't know that much about but listen to occasionally. Recently I took a yard sale MP3 player and ripped the previous owner's library, which gave me ~20 songs of material to work with. The two early WIP beats I've got here are built from samples from "Swingset Chain" and "Major and Minor," two songs I don't know from bands I don't know. They're here and here. I also stole one note of a guitar riff whose source I can't identify, but it's literally one note. It comes in for the first time at about 5.25sec. Here are the beats: "Hoot" (0:32) "Gypsy Kings" (0:48) "Hoot" in addition to samples taken from the songs I mentioned I mentioned, uses some simple synth tricks (acid bass, mostly-unfiltered square bass, whiny filtered triangle lead, unfiltered square-lead.) The most interesting instrumental parts are some reversed acoustic guitar samples (not from a song -- from a sampler VST) playing at double speed, which make up the "hoot" in the background, and a formant-shifted cheap oboe sound EQed so you only get the wind, with the body replaced by a sine on a slightly different melody. There's several cases where I took an existing sound, blew it into digital clipping madness with a waveshaper, then used a resonant filter to chill it out a bit and add some acid. Mixing is a little haphazard, but it's extremely standard EQing with really aggressive sidechaining. "Gypsy Kings" is built around a quick sample from the first beat, which un-chopped sounds like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7567446/Temp/WIP/GypsyKings_BaseLoop.mp3. Obviously I've chopped it up and adjusted the rhythm a little bit, then rejigged the drums and used a moving lowpass to give it a sense of color. It occurs from 6.44sec to 7.36sec. Most of the synths are similar to the ones in the first, except for a string machine VST in the background and some voice riffs I recorded. The rhodes in the background are a really simple Operator patch I cooked up. The mixing techniques are very similar to what I used in the first track, but since this song is much simpler the mixing isn't as tricky. The bassline is about as simple as it sounds, but there's one wrinkle: there are two versions of the plucked percussive bass, one taken from a sampler and one done from scratch in Operator, which has a weird waveform based on dampening low-middle and cutting high partials from the 'Saw D' preset. (which represents a very sharp saw) Doing that means you get the same timbre as a filtered version but you can still have a little bit of high snarling. It's thinner and has a simpler rhythm than the original preset's riff (it's also given less reverb) which I did for a possible claustrophobic effect. I gradually fade it in (with a lowpass) but duck the original bass very heavily to it, so it quickly dominates the bassline. (a good place to hear it is 42.5secs) There's also a very ducky pad which I created with similar methods, plus some delay and a lot of polyphony. The bus for the main synth bassline (not including pads) has a moving highpass that I used both to reduce interference with the drumline kick and hopefully bring out a little bit more of the rhythmic feel of the drums during dense sections. Each measure it's usually starting high (for the hard kick -- there are two kicks) and then dropping lower to let more bass through and let the sidechaining do a little work. A lot of the lifting in the drums is done by a cute hat/tom riff I took out of a loop pack and chopped up. It had a glitch at the end which I amplified to come up with a wacky grinding sound that plays into the intro. What do you guys think I should be doing with these tracks, that I'm not? (obviously a super subjective question) P-EDIT: Bonus beat, by the way -- just for fun, something I did a while ago to the melody from a dance tune I like. There are no underhanded tricks worth talking about in this one even though it's got a lot of instrument parts: Remind Me (remix). (0:30) Also, if any of you guys does anything interesting with these, by the way, I'd appreciate it if you sent it to me. If you rap over any and send me the vocals separately, I'll probably see if I can find something cool/stylistic to do with them. Krotera fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Jun 8, 2015 |

Hey guys I haven't posted in here in a minute but I just made an EP (I am the rapper who shouts less) this is the EP right here to click on Krotera posted:"Hoot" (0:32) I think the issue I have with these (which have a lot of good elements) is that all the start/stops and extra snares give both of them a really spastic feel that's not really conducive to any kind of groove or swing or w/e. It's kind of vague but I don't wanna head bop to these, they seem too self-indulgent. That type of spastic glitching can be cool to break up the monotony of a groove but you gotta establish the groove for it to have any effect, otherwise it's just lurching back and forth, you know? I like the sounds, though!

Haledjian posted:Hey guys I haven't posted in here in a minute but I just made an EP (I am the rapper who shouts less) Really? That's pretty surprising to me -- maybe it's a musical background thing. (I used to listen to a lot of breaky music like IDM.) The second one is a little complicated by comparison because it's a chopped/sliced version of the first one, but the first one's a pretty simple groove. (with multiple snares, granted). In "Hoot" there are two versions of the main drum part with some slight iteration. Both have snares on 2 and 4, of course. For posterity here are both: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7567446/Temp/WIP/HootGroove1.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7567446/Temp/WIP/HootGroove2.mp3 I'm going to experiment with grooves a bit and see if I can come up with something that scans a little better. (even though I'm not sure I intuitively sense the problem to begin with)

Just a quickie -- I'm a little tired to spend much more time being creative tonight. I don't know how this would sound with a voice over it. (I didn't try it.) Dr. Rats I'll probably do another later. I want to gently caress around with the sampling here more: there's a particular part of melody that I'm trying to avoid, which you can probably hear, and I think just reorchestrating that segment might be best.
