Sound Design / How to effectively pitchbend 808s
« on: January 25, 2016, 01:45:01 am »
So i've attempted doing this a couple of times, but they don't seem to sound as good as the examples im about to show you. Experienced producers seem to know how to do it so effortlessly. I'm a huge fan of this method and I want it get it down perfectly. Could any one help me out? I'd appreciate it so much!

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Best Drum kits in your library? (to those willing to share)
« on: January 09, 2016, 09:01:43 am »
I'm big on drum kits. I love having the right kick, the right snare, the right anything drum kit related. Especially since I'm big on Hiphop/Trap. What would you say is your best drumkit(s)? Me personally, so far, it would have to be the "Evil Needle Drum Kit Vol. 1" & the "BNJMN Drumkit"

anyone willing to share? :)

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / How to relate your emotions to your music?
« on: January 09, 2016, 08:22:22 am »
I've realized that it is extremely hard for me to say, "I made this song because I was (insert emotion)". Like, I am able to make music that I enjoy, but I do feel detached with my music on a personal level. I'm like 99% sure it's because I don't know squat about music theory (like, zero) and I simply make my music through constant trial & error, until I hear something I like. I don't even know what the hell I'm doing most of the time but something does come out in the end lol. Any tips on involving emotion to my music?

Another of my sampled-based hiphop stuff. Had no clue this track was going to take the direction it took, but I'm pretty satisfied with the result :]

R&A Graveyard / Perks for dedicated users?
« on: January 09, 2016, 06:16:53 am »
Something such as a reward of some sort would be cool for those who are super active in discussion, feeback, etc. Not really familiar with how a forum works, but would be cool if something like this is possible! Gives us more of a reason to be active!

An original track I am in the process of. Didn't really pay too much attention to eqing/mixing down. Would appreciate feeback to help me take this track further! Thank you in advance.

This track blew my mind today. Such a good track & it's just a preview. +1 if you're from a Hispanic background & can relate to it.

Finished Tracks / laugh now, cry later. | Hiphop
« on: January 07, 2016, 08:23:36 pm »
This is my most successful track to date. I make a lot of sample-based Hiphop, so I hope you dig! Crazy to know that this is one of my older tracks, and it gained lots of attention just late 2015 lol. Goes to show that you should keep your old tracks around for as long as possible!
