regarding the first drum, its basic n nice and i think you should add more kicks to it to make it sound less repititive. also maybe add an open hi hat somehwere in there too that would be cool
me & a friend of mine who makes trip hop tracks are gonna make tracks together
im providing the drums

derp (http://www.drumsamples.org/) you didn't see anything..
Its best to get to know a bit about compression and EQ. Together they can give one beat sample a wide variety of unique sound options
Wait is that really all FL 10 has percussion wise?
I mean I was told it wasn't as good as 9 but geez
more please

what version of Fl do u use? 9 was probably the worst i've ever used ever and i decided to check out fl 10 aswell and honestly it just look the same to me, aint really no difference
9 is by far the best for me, but I'll give 10 a go soon just to see what all this is about
also Joey I wanna hear some synths so c'mon just let's go
wordd i hear you man, i still use fl 7 and 8 for fuck sakes lmao
also co sign with shadow, joey u should fuck with insturments homie, imma send u some of my packs btw if u'd like
Pretty nice drum beats so far, I agree with Shadow. Fl9 is my favorite version of Fl, considering i haven't tryed out 10. keep up the good work though.
I use FL7. ( im too lazy to upgrade.) I dont even use most of the shit that comes with FL anyways. Why upgrade?
thanks for the feedback guys
i would work on synths and samples more but my version of fl isnt working that good anymore so im gonna downgrade to 8 or 9 soon
also wasim that sounds cool. i wanna try out that premo pack
Free vst's are pretty good too

while im waiting for my friend to hook me with fl 8, i made some beats and experimented with samples

Unacceptable
the drums in the 3rd song was barely hearable, the sample was mad chopppy
the 2nd song was aight but didnt overdo it with those snare rolls at the end of your patterns, maybe once every 8 or 16 bars?
the first song is your best song, i think you understoof what you did in this maybe work more on this song do some variations or whatver wit the sample
also 1 more thing, i know its cool and nice to sample a song that already has a sample in it. but honestly if youre starting it, try and find some of that original music, maybe you should dig deep a bit because honestly sampling stuff from artists is not reall a challenge since they already cut the best part of a song and all ull do is just sample. find some blogs where they showcase different type of music and downoad some albums and just check some out and find a part in whatever song and cut it out and make somethin out of it
also shadowfox, fl8 allday man
Quote from: W.A.S.I.M.the drums in the 3rd song was barely hearable, the sample was mad chopppy
this beat was a bitch to make and i dont know how the drums got so fucked up. I'm thinking about redoing it cause i thought the horn editing turned out nice. Also, i dont know why its so choppy.

i know man, i was just testing fruity slicer out for the first time by using random songs on my ipod. Next time, ill sample some original music and i got the best source for it.

Besides the sample, is there anything else that you used that didn't come from FL?
Quote from: SHADOWFOX2Besides the sample, is there anything else that you used that didn't come from FL?
nope, besides the sample everything came from fl
heres a much better version

Yesssssssssssss
The first part of it gets me everytime, it's like some anthem
You should really start looking for sounds outside of FL asap
The stock ones are okay and all, and are good for some things, it doesn't fit all things
Plus people will pick up on the same sounds you use overtime and it all will sound the same
I still use some stock stuff and filter a bunch of them, but the bigger your library the better

word, im gonna look for packs tomorrow
It's pretty easy to find VSTi's all over the net :T

and i am not a fan of looping samples to make music. Thats just my opinion. you compressing the drum samples yet?
i'm really no expert when it comes to stuff like this, but if i had one suggestion for that loop (which is awesome btw), i'd do something about how crisp the sounds of the drums and cymbals are. in comparison to the sampled part, which has a bit of an "AM radio" sound to it if you know what i mean, the drum beats clash too much with it.
if i'm not mistaken, the "fruity filter" effect preset is what you would want for recreating that sound , maybe even possible with the equalizer.

That guitar is yes...I recognize that saxophone from a certain Adult Swim bump

Keep it up Joey!
good ear guys
sorry about the lack of updates. I have SATs and my computer broke again but now its completely fixed. Once i'm done with SATs, its back to making to beats.
In the meantime here's an unfinished tribute track dedicated to DJ Mehdi. R.I.P.

First off Joey, I think the last two things you posted are amazing.
They are hitting the spot right now for me 'cause of some stuff I'm currently undergoing
The Mehdi one I think fits perfectly with Gucci Time.gif
I like the second jam just the way it is and I'm definitely downloading these
Great work Joey keep them coming

for instrumental hip hop it's not bad at all. not a huge fan of your drum sounds though but you've got some pretty good things going as of now
