I Need Help With A Beat In Progress

[J Bananas]

52 second demo, quick download, really need feedback. i feel like the track already has a lotta complex samples so anything i try to make it more exciting with gives it a cluttered sound. im shit out of ideas for bass cuz i just got fruityloops on my new pc today, and its stock sounds are shitty. im still waiting on reason too...

what do you think?

Maybe some orchestra hits, or some low pizz, hi hats, timpani

I'm just listening on little computer speakers at work but I hope that helps

[J Bananas]

thanks, im leaning toward some hats or another type of percussion, im just stuck on the bass which i know will make it or break it

i know its better than my beats,
i got fruity loops and i make some wack ass beats

i hear you, its really only good for making drums, everything else you either gotta sample or find another program that has a good synthesizer

yeah, or you gotta have a keyboard, or u gotta be really good at it, but i still use it when im bored

[Timmeeeehh]

The drums could be knocking harder, the sample gets irritating after 15 seconds; I would only put it in the refrain. The beat misses a lot of fillup sounds, sounds too basic like this.

[J Bananas]

ok thanks yeah i dont like the direction this track is going in im not even gonna give it to my friend to listen to, i gotta have a few beats by tonight so we can lay down some vocals

Yea the bass is mos def gona be the kicker.
what do uuse to make youre beats by the way you have a nice sound.

[J Bananas]

^well right now im waiting for my cousin to send me reason, sonar and fruityloops 6.5 full on his private server, but i set a deadline with a local rapper in the next week so i bit the bullet and im using the demo for fruityloops and acoustica mixcraft, as long as ur familiar with eq u can make those shitty programs work for you

yeah dude i got you on myspace i love your shit! as for thin sound, boost the lower level frequencies in whatever eq mixer you have, then boost the highs and mids accordingly so it doesn't sound too ghetto, but low freq. boost is a MUST for hip hop tracks
