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

like this? i haven't really done that much mastering.

i found some norwegian prog rock and in the middle of it they just broke into yodeling. so obviously i went and built a track around it:

Basically my big issue is something like this. Check out this song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP5DrnvRWaw

now I am not an idiot; that song was done by The Bomb Squad (Hank Shocklee) of Public Enemy fame so I'm not dense enough to think that even in 20 years I can be that good. But the bass line in that song is what makes the entire song in my opinion because it's so fun and happy, and no one has been able to find that bass sample; which leads me to believe it was "made up" for the song. I am starting to think that if I want to be able to come up with something like that, I'd need to be messing around with a physical object while listening to it; which I am guessing Maschine or the MPC2000XL would provide for me. I hope.

could just be crate digging.

Ah. A padkontrol. I thought you were demoing some unreleased super version of it when you said "prokontrol."

They're little tanks you won't ever have an issue, but you better REALLY want a little X-Y assignable touchpad because you're in Akai MPD price territory, and you're giving up a dozen assignable knobs and sliders for that little pad. Depends in what your plans are I suppose.

haha, "prokontrol."

yeah i was more excited for the "tank" part than the trackpad but a little drumroll can be funky. i looked into the mpd26 and apparently build quality went to poo poo.

THNDRTHF posted:

What's the process when you sit down to make a beat?

First I loop a sample I think might work, then I find some old drums and try to chop those on top of it. Then I just keep the loop running for hours as I throw every sample I can find at the track, chopping and muting and soloing and filtering as I go. (I usually end up throwing away the original sample.) Then, when I think the loop can't take any more, I expand it into a track. The intro is usually just me adding one or two elements at a time until I have the basic groove set up, and I spend the rest of the song going through the different elements I ended up thinking were nice in a way that develops.
