    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.

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

    thanks!

    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.
