You should find a place where the rappers come, to present your beats.

In this piece you use some lowpass filter technique. Be careful with that, before it gets a gimmick.
The horn sound at 0:56 and later is much too loud.

Thanks for your comment Sam_Zen I know i have this beat all in my mind but i wanted it to upload it faster then finished it...i love the concept.
I only used: filter, and notch.

EDIT: I hope you can help me with your technique Sam_Zen cus i dont understand.

hahhah cool you dropped soundclick uncloned.
I have a soundclick account and i always upload my newest thing as i uploaded it here or on my myspace.

What strikes me is that i am on number +/-3000 of 300.000 beats with my After Spring beat.

indeed the horn's too loud. if you want to keep it, you might want to lower the volume, yes, but also
turn it into some dub, with a crowded echo - and pump up your dynamic, hiphop is usually agressive
on the dynamics (snare/clap almost hurting your ears, like a whip..)

other than that, this sounds very made in LA, keep it that way..

Yep, you're right. This kind of music uses pimped dynamics.

what do you use as audio editor? and daw?
Title: [hiphop Beat] Something Real Special (.mp3) Samplekit beat
Post by: kit beats on May 09, 2010, 11:52:29
mostly u cut in skaletracker itself.
What is Daw?
Title: [hiphop Beat] Something Real Special (.mp3) Samplekit beat
Post by: AlisterFlint on May 09, 2010, 13:46:53
daw is digital audio workstation (in your case, skaletracker). i don't know it much,
so maybe someone savvier could be of more help to you, but you might want  to:
boost up your audio export (mp3), level up the dynamics in a OS audio editor
(like audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/), although not sure it has dynamic effect) or DL a demo one, as
you could use it for a short pediot of time, which should be enough for you
to edit your track[/list]
or
edit only some of your samples (kick, snare..) and edit them separately in your audio editor[/list]

skaletracker, if I remember correctly, is a windows based FT2 clone.

Clone is when is trying to resemble all the functions and nothing more, skale has alot of improvements and additional functional, including vst-support. It is not longer being developed.

I'm sorry, I will never use the word "clone " improperly again.


Modplug is such an uptight place anymore...

but i thought you were clone..  :shock:

I'm uncloned.

No doubt I'll be told here I'm using that improperly as well.

lol relax uncloned, the word is as cruel and aggressive as you interpret it. :D
Process the information in your hear otherwise, and you will get the input from the people in different perspective.

I think Rakib merely said his personal toughs about the word "clone" (which can have a wide meaning in different context anyway, it can lead to meaningless arguing), didn't tried to bash you in any hostile way.

that last comment was a tongue in cheek joke, mostly.

Modplug has been getting quieter. That is a fact.

well it was about the same, when i've arrived here years ago. A corner of the internet, a "last outpost" like site with limited users. And we have the fact that people are getting older, or married, or changing lifestyles, etc, and the resupply of the new musicians are yet again very limited. :D I am trying my best to express my feelings and self, whenever i can anyway.

Quote from: "AlisterFlint"subtlety is not always an easy thing to pass along, with text-only communication..
umm well yea, on some cases. To be honest, its getting simpler and simpler as you more know the person who you speak to. I can almost read the few, most closest friend's mind, on most cases without even a word, or from a very few. You know how will the person react, how and what is he/she feeling.

perhaps Psi it was like that.  I know at one point I was astonished that TiS had so much traffic and Modplug almost none.  (Years past Modplug was a refuge for those upset Saurin wanted to make money from TiS and by implication, tracker music).  Now, for various reasons, songs compete with tumble weeds for attention.  Though really that is kind of sad.   :cry:

At one point recently Modplug was getting to be pretty vibrant - but I guess all things change.

Myself I've been more and more active with microtonal music - though writing an improvisation in "normal tuning" is nice to do and I find relaxing - though too often boring.

I am always saddened when vibrant communities grow old and slow. Modplug is more or less alive since OpenMPT is being developed. A community around a piece of software has potential to get those periods of activity with new versions or new users coming in.

TiS was build around just music in the world of many alternatives, offering pretty much the same and, in fact, less impressive functionality and support. It was a beta when it was opened and it still hasn't changed. Saurin stopped working on it and a raw product just went dead. In fact, TiS needed much-much more work. I think something changed when the designer died - remember the news? A person who made the web design passed away. I think at that point it sort of stopped completely.

normalize would "only" boost up your whole sample/loop. and level up all frequencies, thus reducing contrast.
dynamic is enhancing/emphasizing frequency peaks.

original sample

(http://www.jeantoerica.com/medias/dynamic2.jpg)
dynamic sample


(http://www.jeantoerica.com/medias/normalize2.jpg)
normalized sample

hope that helps..

I don't agree about normalization leveling up all frequencies.
It just increases the overall volume, so the contrast stays the same.

well thank you for correcting me, Sam. i knew it wasn't right, but out of laziness, i was pretty sure someone more knowledgeable would fix my mistake  :D

I think compression levels out stuff. Normalization just multiplies and I was told by Jojo I think that in OpenMPT for instance the code just multiplies the amplitude to the max no clipping value.
