You could be right. I was listening through Sony headphones, the quality of those phones aren't bad,I just listened through my beats studio headphones and its all good. I have this thing about snares, rarely do they sound right to me. They are always dry, or soft, distorted....i
can't describe it but it sucks for me because when I try to make beats I can get caught up in fukking with snares for a minute.

I keep listening to the beat to see if the snare is a problem, i think its fine. the beats sounds good.

This is aight. For what this song sounds like, Id prefer it to have that natural feel as if you had real trumpets playin its part and what not. I think if you altered the attack and decay or something it would have a more natural feel. Now it sounds synthetic I believe it how people are describing it. It definitely sounds like a horn, a real horn but you can tell its played off of a midi keyboard or point and click. Those stabs you have with the strings is perfect. sounds real and natural.

i appreciate the feedback folk.....real shyt, very descriptive and im sure it will help me in the long run....thing is im just really getting into it again. I didnt alter nothing tho cause truthfully i dont how to do that decay and attack stuff but im still learning it.....did you learn by trial and error or do you have a source i could refer to?

I learned from fukking around, just seeing what changing different functions and shyt was. On an mpc you have the wav sample so nothing saves therefore you can explore, same with fl, just fukk around with settings and shyt and reboot the sound/sample and keep playing. After exploration I read the mpc manual which describes everything in detail as well as why and when you might or should use it. It's very technical though. The thing about some mpc heads is that they have this elitist mindset of "oh you don't know how to do that? Man read the manual!" I swear if you go to some mpc forums every second or third reply to a thread is "read the manual". the crazy thing is that works. I've read the mpc 2000 and 4000 manual hundreds of times and I still learn new shyt. Then watching people make beats on YouTube they use the jargon like pitch shift or time stretch and I know the differences and what they are doing.

I can't get over how simple making a beat can be. Like I'll watch a video and the dude has a weak drum to start, then he'll change the attack and delay, maybe add a lil reverb and change the swing timing and that kick kick snare, kick kick, kick snare turns into flames. I almost never do that shyt though, I insist on making beats the hard way. It's like I want to start putting the icing on the cake but I haven't put all the ingredients in the bowl.

My boy goes into fl and manipulates every sound, every kick, snare, hat, piano etc. Sometimes you need to manipulate a sound, other times you have a kick sample that doesn't need to be manipulated. I don't have an ear to know when to manipulate a lot of sounds. I know when something ain't hittin, but rather than manipulate I spend the bulk of my time searching for different samples or settling. It always comes out in the end. Like you know where you fukked up or cut corners. When you play your beats to regular people they are like "wow". they just think its cool that you made it and it sounds good, but you play it for other beat makers and you get all types of feedback. It's always a work in progress. It's crazy how many dope youtube cats have 20 to 100 videos of piff then you click their channel and play some of their oldest videos and its trash.

I need to get back on my one beat a day grind, it doesn't always have to be fire, just good drums, melody, hook, breakdown, bass, make sure your levels are right and in 2 - 3 months it's easy to cook.
