So yeah I made another beat. This type with influence from West coast and a bit of Break beat type.

I hope you guys like it better than the last one. The beat is pretty much open - i.e no blocking vocals. So yeah feel free to use it, just remember to give credit where credit is due.

Again it is all done using the Juno G. Please rate and give comments. I can only do better if you guys point out my flaws. Ese gan everyone.

If anyone want it longer. I guess we need to talk then.

It's nice to listen to as a beat but I don't see how this could make a good song.
Singing on this track will be like a competition between the producer and the artiste.

The space left bland is the beginning and we know that's the place where rappers like to be slow to allow listeners feel the beat.
The middle towards the end almost gets too crowded which I suspect you put in to prevent us from getting bored.
In practice however, crowding a beat with so many sounds might come out bad.


Overall . . . I think you need to be more coordinated or probably stingy with the spread the sounds.

Thanks. I see your point, but then I am been lazy. The workstation could be connected to a PC where I can then arrange the beat better, but as it stand I haven't even turn the pc on since I got it lol. The screen on the workstation is not the most ideal for arranging etc.

Yeah I am listening to a lot of stuff and trying to learn a thing or two about arrangement. But thanks for the input. It is appreciated.

My gosh, I loff it, I really do.
Slow, peaceful, hmm hmm, loff it.

Eldee, what are you talking about? Why wont it make a song, artist like Clipse, Alicia Keys, and Brandy will def rock this.

No, it might not work for rap, but def for a Jazzy song.

Glad you like it. I have one that is kinda like an RnB/christain type beat. Today is day off, so I may upload at some point.

Elenu razor, the beat tap wella. . . . .it's kinda soothing too. Thumbs up!

Thanks.

The soothing solo is called a "spit flugel" on the workstation, it is a form of Saxophone sound and as with anything from wind pipes, it does have a calming effect.

How is the mix down? I was worried the bass line may be too much as I removed a lot of resonance and frequency from it. Again, I should be able to find this out if only am not too lazy to do the mix down on my studio monitors [true reference speakers] instead of using a PC speaker lol.

Oh by the way, can anyone upload a vocal of them singing or anything, I want to see if I can build a beat round it. I haven't done that before and it should be a good challenge.

i think its good. that said, i have a problem with the shakers, a softer shaker would be nicer since its a slow beat.
keep practicing and surely you will improve. best of luck

Jazzy song . . . I don't really know bout that.
But contemporary R'n'b and Hiphop . . . nah.

It's not about the beat, it's about the arrangement, we don't hear anything for fifty seconds, then all off a sudden errfin comes in.
Just a lil spreading of sounds, and that'll make a great song regardless of how crap the artiste is.
