Been trying to get into playing slower poo poo all on my triggers rather than sequencing anything. Loving some of the sounds you get chucking like a second or so of a synth into a sampler.

Anyway, does this just sound sloppy, or vibey to you guys? Tried to keep it loose but I think it's too far: http://soundcloud.com/fieldbalm/brambles

i don't like the drum sounds at all but that's neither here nor there

i would say that you really need to be careful abt the snare, even if you listen to like dilla or black milk or dudes who do a lot of hand-sequencing swing, you will always hear the 2 & 4 of the snare quantized even if every other note is sloppy

as it stands right now nobody would be able to rap over this really cuz the last two beats of every fourth bar completely fall apart

Thanks dude, that's pretty helpful. Not a lot of experience working w/o a grid in front of me. Are there any cool videos showing hip-hop producers workflows? I'd love to see which parts are programmed and which parts are played in etc.

Two beats from myself, and a short one from Ace Adams. For 'Dopamine Weekend', keep an eye on http://soundcloud.com/knightsofthecrunktable in the next few days for a couple more tracks, as well as their weekly Sunday Meds release.

Second one's off an album/mixtape thing I ended up scrapping, but I'm thinking I might rework some of that material into a new thing.

I saw your tweet the other day about wanting some xxx-like beats... I had a good one but I already used it. I'll post if I end up making anything like that again soon

EDIT: does this count? you can have it if you want it: http://soundcloud.com/doubl-e/learn-you/s-ICGl8

also, here is one of the latest creations (needs some mixing), look for it on the upcoming mixtape (who cares)

this is definitely dope but there's almost a little too much going on in the midrange for me to rap over cuz i have such a high-pitched voice hehehe

cool, that may explain why i've never successfully rapped on that beat ha.

thanks for the comparison to el-p. i thought the same thing after i made it but it wasn't intentional. in related news i need a good metal hitting metal noise (tang tang tang-tang tang t-tang tang tang)
