What's your problem exactly? His lack of chopping, or the lack of the gritty sound of an EPS or SP12?

Cuz Premier has made beats with loops.

I have a question, what if you run your output through an analog thing and then record it? You think it would make up for it?

First I dont have a problem with him personally.He can make a beat...I think from what i heard his beats are O.K. they just dont have that that wow factor..Sound wise for certain beats i like gritty sounds like the sp12 or asr10 or s950...his sounds they sound processed or something..i cant pinpoint it....

Im confused with what you are asking.If you are software based..it would help to run it through a neve mic pre and or UA1176 for compression..

Man fuck all that weak shit.

If you really want to see a "master" in his element, look no further.

Dr. Period talks too much.

Later.

Yeah, now that shit is impressive. When a producer busts out the bass or guitar, now that's some good skill right there.



BTW, anyone find videos of producers making G-Funk or that Bay Area Mobb shit?

Yeah I know. That grit is just unmatchable. You can try sampling the SP12 or vinyl, but it still doesn't always have the sound.

Well I mean just doing things like sampling an SP12 through an MPC. You think that makes up for it?

Why would you sample an sp12 through an mpc....i think what you mean is when sampling through the analog inputs on an mpc 60 or 3000 or sp12...the sp12 is just like the mpc it doesnt have sounds..only what you sample into it.There is a difference when sampling into these machines..It colors the sound a bit...Just as you can compare something like a focusrite pre-amp and a universal audio mic pre...the focusrite will be neutral and sound crstal clear..the Universal audio will color the sound and add some warmth...there are ways to get that same sound with other equipment but with an mpc or asr10 and such shit sounds good straight out the box.

Here's some gritty shit for you guys,

"Tuck Your Chain"

Peace.
Damn good shit. I dont think title matches the song, but it could work.

What did you use for the drums?

Mix is good too. There's so many instruments, but somehow you still managed to get a good mix. My instruments always seem to lose too many frequencies because I try to EQ them and filter them to fit them in the mix. (I know there's two other dimensions of mixing too)

I appreciate the feedback dude.

I just throw random titles on my beats. Rather than, Beat 001, Beat 002, Beat 003, and so forth.

Drums are from my library, which I constantly update. I keep what I like and just get rid of whatever I don't like. Makes it easier when your trying to match up certain kicks, or snare hits for a specific beat. For these, I used Battery to host them, and mix them. I dropped the tone down on the kick a few points to give it a deeper feel, I also dropped the snare down in tone, as well as the hats. Added some simple EQ, Compression and Reverb until they sounded right and that's pretty much it for the drums. Look into Battery if you don't already have it.

There actually isn't too much going on in the beat, I don't like cluttered beats, this beat mainly just consists of bass fills and tom fills, leading into hits, and a few melodies in between. A gritty little bass synth on the chorus. A few other small parts. Simple is better!

As far as mixing, it takes practice, I work at improving my mix every time I get in the studio. My mix never meets my own standards, so I'm constantly improving it. Stay light on the effects, keep your levels down, and pan those instruments until they sound right.

Thanks for checking me out.

Peace
