I've Contributed To The Tunnel Forum But Never Posted Any Beats

[1/2OfDaBruinz]

So let me drop a few. I'm just gonna go ahead and tag @TEKBEATZ because I know he's into the more classic hip hop style beats. @DJ Dope-Needlz too, I wanna say he gave me some constructive criticism before. I know it's a lot of others but don't know everybody. Sorry brehs, I don't really know everyone's style. Also can I please get a tag when you guys drop beats, I'm gonna start posting up in the Tunnel more. Here's a mix of a few different type beats.

"Scary Thoughts", Is nice! I was waiting for the drums to drop on "Intermission but all these are good, Especially "Love Hate" Nice!

these have a really good sound. they have a groove that sounds like you are using hardware (mpc, su700, mv8000), yet some of the keys like on love/hate are very lush and would be very difficult to believe (unless your sounds and skills are that dope) are impossible via hardware so maybe you are using software. either way they are real dope. a lot of producers use both hardware and software and you can kind of tell unless they hit that level of dopeness particularly with their drums and/or sample usage and like them you've blurred the line. real dope.

Thanks man, I try to achieve that sound you're talking about. I do use hard hardware only, but I use newer hardware (Maschine) but I try to EQ the sounds to where they have that classic gritty but lush sound. I honestly spend way more time messing with knobs and tweaking everything than I do making the actual beats. I will seriously spend an hour tweaking one sound. But everything is in the mix pretty much.

I try to make my shyt sound like a sample, even when it's not. And speaking of that, the Love Hate is actually a sample. I did my thing as far as chopping and EQing, but it's sampled. I wanna say that it's a fairly recent song (in the past few years) but I can't remember and I didn't label it or else I would post it. I think it was actually a Weekend song. The Intermission track is a sample too, Every other song I posted was an original beat.

I'm gonna do something I never do and drop the sample for the Intermission beat. I straight jacked the beat Now this is something that I DO NOT do as a producer, but part of producing sometimes is not overproducing and it was a dope part so I left it alone. I mixed it and everything, but by my standards, I didn't do much. That's why I named it intermission, because it's not meant to be a beat to rap over, just a quick interlude type selection.I didn't even add drums, I just EQed it some. The sample is at 32 seconds and at 1:17



Now being the type of producer I am, I felt guilty for taking that sample and not chopping it, so I felt obligated to make a "real" beat out of it and chop some shyt up. Here it is.



The sample can be found at 2:19 in the same video above. And I actually made a third beat out of this same sample, but I cannot find the shyt.

Edit: Can't even tell you what part I chopped up for the verse parts, but the hook sample is the one at 2:19

Hey man, whatever you are doing, keep it the fukk up. I would have bet money that night reflections was a sample. As far as arranging or rearranging a tight sample--- they say no sample is off limits or untouchable but every once and again you'll come off something that doesnt necessarily need to be chopped up and put together rather than just arranging different pieces of the music. It's not a bad things, just don't do it too often otherwise risk becoming an arranger rather than a producer.

pretty cool stuff breh.

Beats really sound like samples. I try to achieve that type of sound as well.
I try to give my music a little bit of a feel like it was played by real musicians.
