Feb 5, 2017 What up S80, I just started producing about a week or so ago, and i'm already in love. I've only made a couple really short beats so far, but I plan on trying to force myself to put out a few things a week and will use this thread to track my progression. I was listening to old soul stuff today and heard a song that caught my ear so I ended up putting this together: Any feedback/suggestions welcome, i'm looking to learn as much as possible!
Feb 5, 2017 This is really nice. I like the sample(s) and the cuts are really smooth. The drum patterns tight, fits the sample really well, I couldn't hear any variation though. I've always been a fan of ever evolving drums but something as simple as removing an element in the last 4 bars can bring a whole new life to a beat, just something to consider in future work. I haven't the got monitors at hand but the mix sounds pretty clean. You only been at this a week? I'm sure I heard automated compression at the beginning, that's not normally something people f--- with in their first few attempts so good on ya. You're either an insanely fast learner or a natural, either way keep up the good work. I sense some bangers coming.
Feb 5, 2017 Thanks for the feedback man! Progression is something i'm still figuring out, i've got a long way to go. I used automation on the EQ for the intro/outro, something I picked up from a guy on YouTube named cjbeatz. I don't have monitors yet, i've just been using some monster earbuds, but i'm definitely looking at picking some up.
