Not sure what the protocol is in this thread but would anyone be interested in rapping over some dark techno at 120-125 bpm? Especially if it's happy old school/80s rap about breakdancing, boomboxes etc. Here is a Beastie Boys remix I did but I'd like to do an original track in this style: https://soundcloud.com/ttinga/beastie-boys-brass-monkey. PM me here or on soundcloud if interested. And now I will retreat to the techno thread where I belong.

This kinda sounds like an Azalea Banks beat.

After loving with beats on/off for a few years now im ready to actually start a project with a bud and am gonna pick up an MPC I think. The old 2000s look pretty affordable used, anyone have any input as to which one to get? Gonna try to do as much as possible without a computer involved, might try to record to tape but haha we'll see.

my budget is like $500 max, ideal would be around 300.

Anyone got recs for babbies first drum machine?

Get a maschine

I sidechain everything to the kick, except for the melody. I dunno, it always sounds better to me that way. I also always sidechain the rhythm instruments (usually guitar and piano panned hard right/left) to the snare or clap. Is none of that a common practice? The guitar is real, and typically I'll record 3 or 4 different guitars strumming the same thing with 2 mics. Then I send those to a short reverb/delay and sidechain that to the kick.

That's dumb, only sidechain stuff that's in the same sonic space as the kick drum. Only chain things that are in the same frequency range as your kick drum (bass, pads, etc.).

Here is a little clip of 16-bars of a track I have been writing lately. I sampled the intro to "Paradise" by Grover Washington Jr. and chopped it up to get the pattern you hear. I also sampled Kanye at a show yelling "Listen to the Kids Bro!" My good friend recorded the bassline and did a kickass job I think.

The inspiration for this track came from survivors of the recent Parkland shooting who have been using their voice to push for gun control. Seeing these 17 year old kids deliver clear, confident, and intelligent statements on the issues has given me some hope in this lovely time we find ourselves in.

This is the first hip-hop beat I have shared here so feedback is definitely appreciated! The volume will probably seem low since it isn't mixed/mastered at this point and is sitting at about -6-7dB on the Master for headroom.

The bass line is sick af. I think you need a bit more to the opening, building up into dropping your sample and getting your listener excited to hear the full arrangement. That being said it's a sick sample. A++++++

Here's a thing I did recently that could be rapped over... sorta some retro revival bell biv devoe poo poo, also prolly good background music for fraggin noobs on the interwebs: https://soundcloud.com/packsee/chunked/s-m3xcU

Hey man, sorry I didn’t get a chance to really listen until now, but that beat is great. Drums are super punchy and come through great on lovely speakers. The synth lead is really cool but I think if you were to lay vocals over it, the lead would need to be dropped a few dB. I can’t listen in my studio right now so it might be my headphones or phone pumping up the highs but it just sounded a bit loud in relation.

Great work dude, I really dig the simple bassline you have that perfectly compliments the beat.

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback! I agree, the lead is loud af right now and would need to be ducked during vocals... or to let literally anything else fit in the mix... lol
