Currently tracking best song @ #6 in positive vibes chart on soundclick.

I've had this label running for around a week now... a lot more beats to come soon.

honestly... not tryin to be an asshole... but they sound generic as hell...

I will say this man, keep working at it. As it stands, most of them are your basic loop beats with kind of annoying horns (which in Wasted Soldier doesn't quite fit the beat at all). I think you're pushing around 80-90 bpm's on most of your joints so there's not much variaty. On some of them you need to make sure the lyricist can tell the difference between the verse and the hooks.

Keep at it my man, I might check back later when I'm looking for some dark beat to drop a verse to.

Well, generic they may be... but i dont give my best material away so thx for the heads up... i'll look into providing more original materials on future beats.


annoying horns... yeah.... theyre just a backdrop for the beat... which sounds fine in my vocal version... but theres def room for improvement there ill keep all this in perspective when i drop the next beats in a few weeks... which will def include some dark beats @ full force.

thx for the critics eye & i hope you have something new to complain about nxt time... =]

Stop Killing The Dead is now #1 in battle/disses.

I found the drums to be extremely boring. The melodies, while somewhat atmospheric, weren't very complex at all. I too found the horns to be overused. The songs seem to have a cookie cutter style. A string/horn melody with a dry and simple drum loop. Its a start, though. Real Harmonic was the only one I thought that had a good enough base to work with. You could layer some more instruments in there, add some better drums and really polish the track. But you seem content with basic stuff. Don't know who you're holding out your best beats for, but you may as well post em up. I'm no master producer, I barely dabble with beats, but I've found it a lot harder to create a track with real depth without the use of samples and multiple layers. I sample out of laziness for the most part lol. Take all of this with a grain of salt. I've definitely heard much much worse. I just didn't find anything that really held my attention or inspired me to write.

Yeah, id agree there.....

unfortunately my br1200 hdd has failed.... so im stuck with FL again constantly... but of course thats no excuse...

i appreciate the comments....

I thought about wat u all said and i decided to see if i could sort something out more appropriately for the start of this label i wana sell beats with soon...

its called Ethereal Expansion...

is that more to ur liking.....? i know the kick needs more pound but my stereo bass button is gd enough till im back in the hardware

anything else you think could b improved in the latest beat? anyone?

Oh and yeah... everything i do goes into an archive for years to come so im saving it for myself... in a way lol. they iz wat they iz but hell... we all want a little more lol
