datfootdive Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hey guys, just started making music a few months ago and I'd like to see how good other people think it is. Criticism would be extremely appreciated Here's one I made from sampling Cowboy Bebop. https://soundcloud.com/datfootdive/black-piano And here's one I made from sampling Space Dandy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-we2PD0Hbo It's mostly hip hop and jazz stuff if you're into that kind of thing. I could improve my drums a bit too :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Both are really cool. The Space Dandy one is really sexy. Nice work. Keep going at it! You've got something going dude. Do stuff even more original by combining inspirations and just keep practicing. Add some more variation and just get into it. You've got some great potential man. The more you do it, the better you'll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garoad Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Good job on both of these. I love how the bass really compliments the percussion from the one in Cowboy Bebop. Great compliment to the sample. The pitch of the piano melody/sample doesn't fit quite so much (In my opinion, anyway). I agree with G-Mixer, add some more original stuff and flair to it. Keep it up!

timaeus222 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Man, there's a lot of sub bass in these. Cowboy Bebop also has a rather old piano sample. You could mix more quietly on these. Both remixes have overcompression from the drums, and the Space Dandy remix is muddy from the reverb in the E. Piano. Otherwise these sound alright for what you're doing.

datfootdive Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks for the input guys I'll try and add more original stuff to my beats in the future. I have to teach myself some tech because I'm my own teacher. And I do love my bass and old sounding samples XD underground hip hop has made me love those. I'll tone it down a bit and make some more quieter beats. Again, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiGi Valentine Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 OH! You're the dude who replied to my Mass Effect topic, haha! I didn't know you made HipHop beats! Loving that Space Dandy one you got there. Mind if i was to throw some bars on it? Getting a little inspired from the beat right now. Let me know the details, holla at me on SoundCloud if it's easier to chat there, man Peace~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
