I've set a goal for myself to write 2 songs/day so I can get caught up with collabs and my LP that I want to release at the end of the year. All be on their hustle in the VanillaZilla household.

reminds me of some recent harry fraud beats. i'd put a little more reverb, just a little delay on the intro. if your delay supports detuning that would probably sound cool too. snare needs to be louder also, may resolve the busy thing a little bit. jm2c. good looks


likin the vibes on this one. nice samples. don't know if you wanted feedback or not but: your mix needs some more bass, and i'd compress and push the levels on the master up a little more. I think you might also want to push the horns up a little bit in the mix too, but that's a matter of taste i think


if i said something dumb there someone correct me. trying this giving rather than getting advice thing on for size


EDIT: also, my rap team (the illusionati) are going to be releasing our first tape on 12/12/12. i don't know if anyone in this thread is excited about it but i sure am. we done good, hoping you guys enjoy it :)

I'd pull the threshold up a bit from there, turn off the auto gain compensation, and maybe push the ratio down a little bit on the compressor. Also the release should probably be reduced, but I'm not as sure about that. gently caress with it. The EQ should drop the really low frequencies (first slider) by a few dB, and then the other ones which are above 0 should be pulled down so they're a more subtle boost. Also, sometimes it's easier to EQ before compression, sometimes it's easier after. Sometimes I do both.

It's difficult to be really accurate because I doubt either of us are currently listening to this on real monitors. :)

I need to upgrade. I'm currently using FL Studio with an MPD 24. I also have a nice sound card (M-audio Audiophile 2496). I just keep feeling like I've reached limitations with FL Studio.

I keep seeing MPC 1000/2000s on craigslist for $300-500 and I'm considering going that route. all ergonomics and usability stuff aside, what difference if any in sound will there be? am I going to have to buy a decent mixer and EQ too?

What limitations are you hitting in FL?

Buying an MPC, compared to the gear you already have, wouldn't produce any noticeable difference. If you wanted to recreated the digital environment you already have then yes an MPC, mixing board, outboard gear (EQ, compressors, etc), disk/tape recorder or A/D converter, would all be required.

What are you looking to upgrade? Your physically playable/tweakable equipment capabilities? Your mixing environment? Your beat making skills?

Mostly because I have a friend with an MPC 1000 and he claims that it sounds better than "a computer". This may be a misconception on his and my part. Maybe it's because of the built-in EQs/reverbs/etc that I'm using but I just seem to never be able to get the type of sound I want out of it despite fiddling with it for the better part of ten years.

I suppose this could be lack of skill, ear, and not great samples on my part as well, but I basically feel like there's something inherently lacking with FL Studio's sound. Am I wrong? Should I get some VSTi plugins or something instead?

sorry for all the posts but its been a lot of lab time this past few days

edit: pitching down the kick and snare help a lot. a bit of chorus on the snare helps to "extend" it a bit.
