BlackFoot Beats

[TheIronz]

I thought I would drop a couple beats myself and my friends have made. Let me know what you guys think, and if anybody knows any MC's that wanna collab, hit me up.

Peng Shui: Upbeat and light hip-hop made with acid jazz samples.

Jungle Book: Goes without saying... Sampled from the Jungle book, deep groove and hooky high notes.

Good stuff man, I was feeling those.
I definitely want to get into music more.
Like many other ways to express myself I had a short run in to feel it out, recieve feedback and reflect but lately been wanting to get back to it.
Take this for what it is, non producer trying to make songs happen within a video editor converted to MP3. Did what I had to at the time. Would be down to collaborate when I can finally get a setup going again.

I'm going to quote you from the other to avoid clogging up your video thread!

Fruity Loops is popular but I have no idea why! Ableton is probably the best for starting through to polished material. If you prefer tracking music (which I did to begin with) then try Renoise.

I got tons of beats but this was quite different from what I normally make, I think I will make a thread somewhere and showcase one or two... See what ya'll think...

EDIT: I did that, link is http://skatefluckit.com/showthread.p...263#post171263

Thanks for the recommendations!
Will definitely look into those.
Honestly not entirely sure what you mean by "tracking music" though?
Multi tracking?
Seems needed as a person who wants to rap too.
Got to have that separation to make it all come together, I believe.
Completely open to anything you want to share though.
You're clearly doing more than I was on the producing side.
Thanks for the share, keep it going.

Tracking is the old-school way of doing things, Like Atari old-school... But to some people seeing timing as a straight 64 note bar helps them.

Its kinda like coding music...

Im at work right now so cant go in on this too deep, but will answer anything I can, and definatly collab with you if you want.

Im pretty impressed you made anything in a video editor! The rapping is good, recording quality could use a little work, but definately usable... I can definately bring it out fatter in the mix!

[Antwan]

Right on that sounds interesting.
I've been at it a few years now but don't understand it on the level you seem to.
Did you go to school for music?
Making something else may be a ways down the line..
Bunch of things Im trying to get done at this time in my life.
So hard to say, my dad has been working on a studio setup and I visit him every once in a while.
Still interested in how people know this much about music though.
It's almost like producers really understand it on a technical level.
While people who are strictly artists are more fundamental? For me anyway!

[TheIronz]

I guess my knowledge comes from many different places.

I started with instruments, no knowledge at all... as I taught myself to play, I noticed the patterns and structures of music.

We then did the band thing, got lots of experience through that, all metal at the time, but lessons are lessons...

Then my buddy came back from a music university, we started messing around with samples and stuff around that time, so he brings the tech knowledge, I bring the raw sounds and flow of the track generally.

[Antwan]

That's sick man.
Yeah, music is music right?
I know a drummer in a metal band that likes to make beats.
They are working hard at getting a spot in the warped tour so we have never collaborated.
Cool to see more people so accepting of genres in that way.
I grew up on alternative and somehow ended up kicking it with beats but I like nearly everything music.
