lol. I'm quite familiar with your tutorials on Nairaland.and once you upload a beat and it's not sounding Timbalandish, Don Jazzish or I.D Cabasaish, they believe its crap

Got so many beats I'ld try and upload some later,

Thanx Man.

Krayola:


@bouzymill. How u dey? That beat (wishes/dreams) is really nice. I like it a lot. Do u have anything with more bump and less soul? I like the soulful sound tho, just curious. . . thanks

ofokaofoki:

nice one we are waiting anxiously .!

bouzymill:

Sorry, jus got hold of megaupload today, this is one. Not clearly mixed and all that but I't still reviewable,

The sample I used is towards the end of the beat.

@ Elrazur
I'm back with my review of your previous 3 beats.
1. NAIJATION - Beat wasn't defined and sounded largely experimental to me. d many sound effects (Horror, laughter, thunder, broken glass, fighting sounds etc) didn't blend very well togeda &kinda distracted from d beat. Having said dis, I think it would have been an excellent beat if u had kept it strictly musical. I loved the roll of d drums & all d other instruments used in d beat. I doubt dis beat will go well with a real song cos it won't be easy for an artistes to lace lyrics and flow with d beat. ALL in ALL, it was Ok but NOT AS A MUSIC BEAT.

2. WESTCOAST - Dis was a Massive, Massive improvement on Naijation. D beat is well defined to a genre, it's soothing, soulful, relaxing & there is perfect harmony between d df'rent sounds as dey flowed seamlessly into each other. . .from d drum to d trumpets to your voice effect to d dj scratching/effects, everything was ON POINT. Guy, chop knuckle for dis beat. I'M IMPRESSED.

3. AFROBEAT - I DON'T THINK A BEAT CAN COME BETTER OR MORE DEFINED THAN DIS. . .dIS IS PURE AFROBEAT!!! D BEAT THROWS U OFF your CHAIR AND ONTO your FEET & GETS U DANCING IMMEDIATIELY. D BEAT IS VERY MELODIUS AND SWEET TOO. U JUST HAVE TO WORK ON MAKING your VOCALS CLEAR AND ON TOP OF THE BEAT AND NOT IN D BACKGROUND. EVERYONE IN MY OFFICE WAS FEELING THIS BEAT. .dIS IS THE BEST OF ALL your BEATS.

Truly, dat Naija-Hiphop hybrid beat must have been a bad day in da office.

ElRazur:


Good beat, I think you need to work on varying your track. After the first key and second key comes in, one ears are left yearning for more. You know something a bit different, but it just got repetitive over the course of the 180seconds plus.

You should have put on top after the second key in my opinion some  sort of orchestra or string instrument on it as I believe it goes with it.

Having said that, if a vocal is layered over it, the repetition may not be that obvious.

Out of interest, what do you use - Software or hardware etc?

Hey Nairalanders, i have i have been having self tutorials for the past few day, this is my first beat, though still a novice, but i want to learn that's why i am posting the link here,

I am open to comment

Genuflect:

B-11, convert your beat to .mp3. That .wav file is too big

bouzymill:

Thanx for the comments and I fully understand the reptition point. three things I believe always stuck me to that are
1. I like to preserve the traditional sampling technique (no instruments that's not in the sample itself) just the drums and samples. Not the kind of Just Blaze style of sampling (See Damu The Fudgemunk)

2. I have a kind rhyme style in my mind which usually tends towards the old new york cypher session where what they need is to have basic beat looping in assistance to their freestlyes

3. I'm just back pack producer who's obsessed with sampling and will not want to touch its soulful nature. lol

but overall, i know that if i want to make something sellable and commercial, more works need to be done on the beats before rendering. Am just playing around with these. thanx


And about the equipments I use. Am not as rich as you are, So, I'm minimalistic in my equipment approach. Depending on the beat, I choose between three wave editors to bring out my samples (Cool Edit Pro, Audacity or Edison). I chop my samples in Fl Studio or Native Instrument Battery. Work with my drums in FL Studio and external plugins. then, the only hardware I have that I've just purchased is an MPD 24 which i use to trigger my samples since my fingers have turn to something else through sampling. So, those are the recipes for my style of beatmaking and It works just fine for me.

B11 badamn
you are welcome , pls post more beats you are progressing well as a newbie.

THANKS MAN I APPRECIATE THE ENCOURAGEMENT A LOT, I DEY POST MORE BEAT TODAY,

ElRazur link=topic=409476.msg5683761#msg5683761 date=1268462102:


Don't rush to post your beats here. I think you need to get plenty of practice. And I mean plenty of practice. The beat is just two instruments, but don't let me discourage you.

THANKS MAN, I AM POSTING IT SO I CAN GET MORE EXPERIENCE FROM VETERAN, LIKE YOU,

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH CONVERSION OF WAVE TO MP3, I TRIED SO MANY DOWNLOADS BUT NA SHIIT,

ElRazur:

Try this. It is free. Download and install.

I am not a veteran. Just a learner like you. However, you need to learn a few more things. If you post a beat in an internet forum and it is bad, people's comment may discourage you and it may then have an effect on what you can do. Try and get it right first as much as you can before you post. I hope that helps.
