    Hey guys. I was messing around and made this and thought it sounded pretty nice. Let me know what y'all think. I know it might be repetitive or the mixing may s--- but I was pretty happy with how it turned out. @CreativeSXN @Feedback

    You can find them pretty easily on torrent sites. Kickass is where I get my VSTs.

    Hello guys, I'm back! This is my 4th beat and I think I've come a long way from my first one. I would appreciate any feedback I can get. I understand that the beat gets a little repetitive and I'm sorry about that. If you wouldn't mind giving me feedback/tips I would greatly appreciate it. If you are interested in hearing the third beat that I've made, just let me know. Thanks!

    Hey guys I just finished my poverty attempt at making a beat. I need some feedback, tips, criticism, or anything... Please help me get better because my stuff sounds repetitive and I had too much trouble making a melody that I just left it out. (I know its bad so I don't mind criticism at all). Thanks for your help.

    September 4th 2015: I made another below average, generic beat. Y'all know the drill, tell me what I did wrong, and what to do to get better. Suggestions, comments, and any kind of feedback is appreciated... Thanks for your time :)

    It's nice but it's still in the generic stage.

    Go back and make the tempo just a little faster, and also harmonize your melody. What that means is you take your melody pattern and just really copy and move it up about an octave or so so it sounds higher pitched up. It'll sound dope af.

    Also a little lead synth here and there wouldn't hurt either, but that's optional. Keep working lil bro

    August 8th:
    Here is my second beat I have ever made. I would really appreciate feedback. Those of you who heard the first one and were giving me tips, I was actually able to create a simple melody for this beat. Thanks!

    experiment to find your sound and always start with some chords and a melody and everything will start to fall into place. Watch some tutorial videos, play around with loops and samples, whatever you gotta do, just learn it all fam. I wish you the best of luck

    You need some actual melodies going on in there or something. It's so empty with just the drums m8
