pgathriller Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Sampled a Japanese movie soundtrack from the 70s to create this mellow-ish vibe: http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=11488341&q=lo&newref=1 I like how this one came out, it's a bit mellow/relaxing but still a bit aggressive and has that old school hip hop style -- let me know what you think!

AWalerowski Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Not bad, I like the little vocal bits you can hear coming in and out from 0:41 onwards. Also, there is one part at 0:52 where the shakers come in, and they kinda indicate what the rest of the beat should feel like. IN MY OPINION! I think you need to change up your drum sounds and the drum pattern if you're looking for something more old-school and bouncy. You know, more shakers, put a bongo and congo in there, force the listener to nod. See, the current drum pattern you have is very quantized and very perfect - And this is the problem. Mellow, J-Dilla styled Old School Hip Hop always has a little bit of nice syncopation/offset in the hi hats. As for the sounds, I'd say you need a kick which sounds less hollow I've put together a quick pattern to show you what I mean. http://www.4shared.com/mp3/ZgWXOCL3/Example_Drum_Loop.html?
