    Wonderful! Everything sounds nice, except for the strings that come in after about 45 seconds. The flutes, the bass, the drums, the little guitar, SUPERB!!! I'd like to hear a full LP by you.

    thanks...yeah, the strings are a little busy and seem slightly out of tune, but thats kinda just there to show where a change might happen or whatever.


  • this is dope ako. very laidback. drums are on point as always. is that ashley's roachclip? the tambourine and open hi-hat sound reminscent of it, but there's a different dynamic to it. dope nonetheless

    here's the instrumental to the LOTU remix in the other thread. just made it last night:
    mallard - murtha

    general crook - "what time it is pt. II" with some soulful strings jingle bells and patti drew tambourine over it.

    thanks!

  • day - drums are . i recall you saying you using nothing but mpc? i dunno how you dudes get your drums so banging without compression, distortion, etc. this is sick

    jaymack, i tried to listen to yours but kept getting a 'server too busy' error. will try again later.

    Yeah, I haven't made a beat like that in a minute. The whole key is just keep it simple. You and I want to add all kinds of crazy shit over stuff like this or switch it up every other bar, but you have to hold back, spit it out in 10 minutes and be done with it.

    I don't either man. I think it's all in the pre-EQ in the mixer before you sample it. There's no compression or anything on that beat at all. Not even reverb.

    That beat you made is ill, btw. You dudes are gonna blow the fuck up.
