Title: Producer WARS aka Challenge
Post by: The KWEDZA HOD on May 28, 2009, 01:33:16 PM
Reason VS FL Studio

(http://www.zero-g.co.uk/media/images/BrutalLarge.jpg)

Here is the deal, samples are provided you flip polls go up, the top 15(hopefully) go into the next stage of ripping out guts and cooking good food.

Now on the list we have kats who use both reason and fl, make the choice niccas.

Samples are here:

What? So it's Me, Sir Black AND Myth on the same team?? HAhahaha. And if I recall properly Phil's on fl? If so,,, I say goodluck to the reason heads. Start sending your letters of apology to the folks at propellerhead now for giving they DAW a bad name. ;D

I downloaded the samples last night but I was too tired to flip but if I can get as inspired as I was last night, I might end up flipping 5 of them into one track. I donno. Don't bite my idea now >:(

well, i downloaded the samples, nice but nothing too special, im sure when the challenge really starts you are gon make sumin a bit more exclusive available...anyhow, here is my flip, im afraid i can only submit one cos im hella caught up with other things, but im sure itl be more than sufficient

used only one sample cos the rest kept reminding me of Premo & Dre flips...

used the ALMIGHTY REASON 4.0 sequencer by PROPELLERHEADS to cook this  :D...

this is merely a shadow of what im to unleash on youl when we start the real joust.... haha!....who wan test..... 8)

Che, pls up yo beat somewhere so we could hear it pls...anyway...i flipped [really] 3 samples and I made sure that two from them are less tracable...

I believe this is better off to do if you dont want ha**les of clearing material....

so a lesson to be learned....

@ J-One - I love the groove you put on yo beat, now try making sure that the quality matches the beat, make it sound nicer and cleaner....i know i haven't followed my own advice at some instance, but thats the way I always hear yo beats, i wanna hear them clean now...

@ Oints - I believe this aint yo best, so go back and make sure that you do the same as J-One... I was gonna gun for Re-Invention 2.5 beats inspiring me, but I believe this is more than inspiration to me...

Anyway....enjoy my ppl's

i listened to your beat Che Monu, its nice, it has a mellow feel to it, drums are very light, but i guess they serve the light feel of the beat...cant really complain about it too much, except for one thing though, i can hear that sample coming a mile away mayn, maybe even a mile more and takes the fun out of me bumping it a long time...the excuse of course can always be that Rebbi didnt make available samples exclusive enough for cats to flip, but some (myself included) can argue that you should bare part of the blame for not disguising the sample(s) hard enough...nice beat though ;)

JESUS CHRIST!!! :o, is everybody on this website on FL studio ???.......this is really a sad sad reality for music creation...


how so?

well for the obvious REASON that if anything, the aim of this REASON Vs FL studio competition should be to elevate the overall skill of beatmaking on both DAWs, we should come out of this with newer and better ways of making our music respective of which sequencer you are using. you should learn from the FL Heads as much as one expects to learn from the REASON HEADS, how else are we going to do that if the scales are already tipped in the favour of one sequencer?...

if the other is not explored we run the risk of redundancy :-\

Do both, flip some for FL flip some for reason.

Now that we on the learn tip, the main thing here is that we must learn from each DAW.

dont get me wrong, this is still a battle, the aim as much as it is to learn is to "destroy" the competition...

with that said, let me give my 2cents for everyone else who is going to be submitting their beats here...picture this competition being held on a stage with about a 100 or so onlookers, you bump your beat and the next cat bumps his...who among the two of you is guranteed to move the crowd?

im just saying cos ive seen beat battles, ive been in a couple as well and some of the beats ive heard so far lack the ability to move anything let alone a crowd, the drums are weak & the ba** lines are generic...flipping a sample wont win you a battle, trust me, we can all do that (although some still need help in that department)...

its how the beat is structured that wins a battle...people wait for the Killah BREAK, the HARD DRUMS & the innovative Ba**LINE

so with that said, lets stop pussy footing around and drop some HARD BEATS PLEASE.... ;)

Title: Re: Producer WARS aka Challenge
Post by: oints on June 03, 2009, 06:40:41 PM
Now let's kick it

indeed, lets set it off. all who are involved and are going to be involved, i want you to know that we are planning to follow this year's competition with a very KEEN eye on the HIPHOCALYPSE, Alias & i think itd be a good idea to have the entries as they come in and give almost a direct feed for the people in the G who cant jump on the website and monitor whats going on...

so this weekend @ 22:00 - 01:00 SATURDAY, we are going to have our first report on the 2009 AFRICASGATEWAY.COM Producer Challenges. its going to be nice to hear what the Grahamstown HEADS think of the production side of things...

so to tune into that and dare i say it get an inside scoop into what the people on the ground think of AFRICAN production, jump on

WWW.RHODESMUSICRADIO.CO.ZA @ 22:00 to 01:00 every SATURDAY................ 8)





oh, i should add that we are planning to conduct interviews with participants, most likely call producers and speak to them about what they feel is the benefit of taking part in the competition(s)...

if im not mistaken, we are to interview The REBBI this Saturday, seeing that he's been breathing life into these contests for a while now

For producers you guys sure talk a lot. Anyway, since this a beat battle let us put our egos and recognizing samples aside. Because samples are chosen for us and are limited to but approximately 1 minute - WE WILL CATCH YOU. The technical aspect needs to have weight in the judgemet. My joint goes up today, il bring the link as soon as i do what it do...

where is the ba**? i cant hear it homes, or maybe its my speaker system ???...

Post by: oints on June 05, 2009, 08:49:46 AM
@ Trompie, i bumped your other two flips mayn: Phuck u and Dos gardenias...

Phuck u: with this beat, correct me if im wrong, you can partition it into the three segments, the intro, the beat itself and the outro?

first of i have to say, the hiss and crackle on this beat (hope it wasnt intentional ) is of a frightening proportion homes and in my opinion it destroyed the beat, i could have sworn my ears were frying or something, kept having to check em for radiation burns...lol..anyway, moving right along.

on the intro part of the beat, you have a nice repeatative snare that totally vanishes once the beat starts, leading me to think you simply cut and pasted the two extremes on to the second segment of your beat, (i.e) u chose strings that sounded a bit like the ones you had from one sample and merged them with another sample whose foreign nature you did not disguise well (thats just me). another thing that totally gives your chop away, is the drums, they are slow and sluggish, nothing as radical as what you have in the intro, even if its moderate, they are not as live as the ones in the intro, moreover they fail to imply any radical manipulation to follow, they just die out with your beat in a stagnant loop and fade of into the outro.

by the way you have people cheering in the back when the beat ends, you could have sworn you had some drummer from Korn on em shits... (just playin wit u dawg)

that was def NOT YOUR BEST flip.......

DosGardenias: what was this one dawg? you turned the flip into a shout out fest, i dont think you wanted to enter this one in for the battle right? i mean, it sounds more like an interlude, an outro even (gues i shouldve expected that since you labeld it so). Really thought you would make this one thump, was expecting it, especially after i heard Che Monu's flip on the same sample...

honestly, i didnt like this one, its perfect for an album interlude or outro but not for this BATTLE...

all in all, i like the Dretoxfication beat way better than these other two.


Title: Re: Producer WARS aka Challenge
Post by: oints on June 05, 2009, 09:17:54 AM
@ 13, i listened to your flip & you used the same sample as Che and Trompie, the DosGardenias one, not saying that to call you out or nuting but if you listen to their flips itl be more than apparent that youl cooked with the same sample, cos in my opinion youl simply failed to disguise it, or maybe it just cant be disguised, there is something about that part with the rolling strings that just has to be in eybody's flip :-\ infact for me the beat was perfect before you jumped into the first break with the Gangster lead, it had a nice bounce to it...

but i like the fact that you represented with the REASON Leads, pads and the filtration system homes  ;). gives an electronic feel for the beat, something that i believe sets your beat apart from the others cos it can almost a**ume a different sub-genre...

its a nice flip, dont really know if it would have the crowd bugging out at neck breaking speed though but you most certainly killed the malstrom ba**  ;) nice layering and leveling, that coupled with the choppy stagering drums should do the trick...

oh, this might sound rather pompus of me but if i were you i wouldnt use the DR Rex scratch loops unless you reconfigure the device into a scream patch to disguise it more, as is it sounds now, its straight out of the loop pack  ;)

Nice flip, i liked it...guess we have two generals on REASON now.................... :D

Good question.... How many of us...... i mean how many reason guys are here.


Now, ima be droping my two cents worth a lil later, sorry to say but i didn't really spend time on this one round, i guess i just need to clear all the work load before attempting any further battles.

With all being said, there is a round two of this WAR. maybe the last round, but it don't end here.

Another thing, hands up to san for bumping all beats and giving feedback, well done homes.... I think now the main motive for starting these battles have finally caught up, TO LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER.
One more rule: All who posted beats are to review others beats and give back feedback.

Till later. Enjoy

@Oints, had never heard your music n was impressed with the amount of theory you had on the program. I thoutht your sound would showcase the knowledge. Your beat was nothing i havent played and not skipped. SAMPLING-too simple, sounds basic. Ba**-flat n shy. DRUMS-Nice, i dig de pattern!, INNOVATION-disappointed, no effects to support the core loop?C'mon - ITS REASON!!

@J-one. In the world of production youl soon learn that the age card will disappear. I dont listen to age, i listen to beats. Your take was una**suming. It ws a gud attempt but when it landed i was not surpized. What caught me tho was the drums - beautiful.
SAMPLING-straight forward, de sample ws a loop n i thnk messin wt it wud b suicide. Ba**-you couldv added a little flair, esp wher you filter de beat. DRUMS-fresh n lively. INNOVATION-De filter ws cul,ul learn how 2 murder it in time tho

@Trompie. Confused as to which beat is officially running, i decided 2 follow lead with Oints n pick de DosGardenians chop. The sound was nice, clean. Dug the whole production credit theme however that falls short when it cms to BEAT BATTLING! ur goin play it on stage.
SAMPLE-nicely looped, it has variation in sm parts - smooth. Ba**-contained in da sample, people wann hear urs in a battle
DRUMS-Obvious layback, too laid bk 2 murc an opponent. INNOVATION-well, no supporting efx 4rm de program?i thnk i hear a synthetic violin but im nt sure. Its way 2 simple 2 make a difference!

peace for giving it a bump ma dude ;)

and you right, there are more knobs i couldve fiddled with to give the sound more of a dynamic but i didnt. made the mistake of a**uming there wouldnt be a need to put in much effort on the beat since i was submitting it on the 1st leg of the competition. wont happen again, im ready for the second round, im sure youl have something different to tell me when that is over.... :)

Trompie does have a point there, the producers taking part in these challenges run the risk of having thier work looted by onlookers who like vultures really have no other bearing in this competition except to pilfer, the true HEADS and scholars of music aside of course...

so i think we need to start brainstorming on a more secure line of deposit or maybe we can just put acapellas on the beats, i know thats what i did with the beat i submitted, that sorta negates the risk of someone jacking it and making something else with it without my knowledge...just a suggestion :)

@Sir Black. When your beat kinda sounds like the 50 cent single, Get Up. Not bad. Ok, i liked your approach. Grimy, Battle-type sound. Thats dope cs u werent here to give back ma**ages and rub our toes. SAMPLE-gritty n grimy. Experience will teach you better but for now, proper. Ba**-wudv made a difference to me had you had your own but it wsnt a major blow. DRUMS-i peep where youre coming from but i PERSONALLY didnt like them. They werent bad. INNOVATION-i liked the fact that you had support you had for your core loop. I wont recommend the backing sounds you used though, way 2 unattached to your beat. BUT you had them, it shows you undastand what a battle is - bringing sound! Thumbs up from Thir[13]teen...i mean...After12

The Rhodes Music Radio internal server makes the live recordings of the show available for download so i can definitely get hold of last nights show and up it here for you guys to download. the problem is that it records every hour so the recordings are going to be rather bulky and it will take some time for me to up them with my quota restrictions. but i will try.

all round it was not a bad show, despite it being exam time and being undermanned because Alias had to handle some other commitments and my programme manager, Wiseman sacrificing a lot to work the equipment and use any oppourtunity to dash off & catch up on studying, we managed to pull of a pretty exciting show with people calling in giving their opinions of which DAW was in their view "the best"...lol

thats my man WISE, him, Alias and i plan to air these competitions to the very end when a winner DAW is crowned... youl find that Wiseman is not easily swayed from his opinions, lol...he is normaly the devil's advocate in our disscussions...i dont see him giving FL a slack on this one, so its pressure on the producers to prove it to him that its packed with heat.. ;D

im glad you liked the show homes ;)...

Thank u drumbeater. Although u dont specify what part never impressed you. Oh well, its program battle so i dont expect love from brother. Heard yours too. I liked the funky feel - problem is, it tickles instead of gettin me shook. Nice try though...

We should hook an annual LIVE show for beat battles

We should hook an annual LIVE show for beat battles

let me remind you; the HIPHOCALYPSE (RmR) is currently airing this year's africasgateway.com producer challenge

with the first leg here:

LINK REMOVED/?sharekey=44372b66a55a99cad5a101cf914073b439c5f80d50a3f43b

its nothing official, we didnt sit down with MILk or anything and drew up a proposal. we saw a chance to grow our own Culture of HipHop in Grahamstown by providing an inlet to whats going on outside our borders. and since we are doing so already, its safe to say we are willing and able to throw our hat in the ring and give our a**istance where needed for these suggested "LIVE beat battle shows"... :)

@Sir Black. When your beat kinda sounds like the 50 cent single, Get Up. Not bad. Ok, i liked your approach. Grimy, Battle-type sound. Thats dope cs u werent here to give back ma**ages and rub our toes. SAMPLE-gritty n grimy. Experience will teach you better but for now, proper. Ba**-wudv made a difference to me had you had your own but it wsnt a major blow. DRUMS-i peep where youre coming from but i PERSONALLY didnt like them. They werent bad. INNOVATION-i liked the fact that you had support you had for your core loop. I wont recommend the backing sounds you used though, way 2 unattached to your beat. BUT you had them, it shows you undastand what a battle is - bringing sound! Thumbs up from Thir[13]teen...i mean...After12

thanks bruv.. appreciate ur thoughts and input

heres my second beat from another one of the samples...

The beats are nice but all that he done did with the samples I can do on FL studio.His drums I can easily flip.
Beats have arrangement and changes......nice. For the next one give us beat battle kinda beats then maybe u'll have me shooked.....The Drum Beater Still aint shooked.

San u have another soldier on your side.

Ok fellas now its time to seperate boys from men.

Rebbi drop the next set of samples.....It's Wednesday today.

true indeed, i see Remy even had to reach deep in the forests of Sherwood for this one, our very own Lagolas  :D, we welcome Robin of Locksley on board the SSREASON  ;)


on another note, i downloaded your flip Robin, the first one, the "love is everywhere" joint and this is my take on it:

the way you flipped the sample is very interesting, there is a theme to it, with the crowd and what not, and i think it can easily fit on the new Meth & Red Album with the cheering of the crowd and evrything, even on the latest EMC record "the show", it can fit in there...its very stand alone, an in the middle of the album typa beat but its hardly the joint you want to pull out when you battling someone...

all in all i think your weakest part in the whole beat is the drums, the snare drum, Like PeeWee is saying NEEDS to be centered, the reason behind that aside from the fact that the panning seems to detach it from the whole song is that it sounds too much like REASON stock. i know, REASON sounds arent supposed to arouse suspicion, normally they wouldt, but with that snare, it sounds too much like you took it out of the HipHop kit in your sound bank, i can almost narrow down which kit you used. so to make it richer & free from criticism, it normally helps if you doubled it up with another snare, say an open one and pan both of them to opposite extremes, slightly though, say about 2  & -2. Keep the tambourine, but dont pan it, let it hit with the snares and give them a bouncy feel...

that was just the snare, i have more suggestions on how you can help boost the power of your kick, cos i can tell you used only one kind of kick drum on the entire flip and correct me if im wrong but you took it from the same HipHop kit as the snare. its a low ba** kick and that makes it lack character, it can knock way harder than that, the problem is it cant propel your beat forward as i know you would like it to, it needs to thump so it gives it a bounce thatl make u anticipate the snare hit...

if its no problem, id like you to walk me thru your drumline, maybe via PM...all in all, nice drum line, but it can do with some improvement, specifically a change in the way the kick and snare sound right now, but i like it.

oh, another thing, the beat is like 5minutes long yo, thats way too long to make an impression in a battle, cos u start flipping more of the sample round the 2minute mark, and by then peeps are dosing off, or busy getting refreshments to listen to your flip  ;)...make dem shorter homes...

i await with eager anticipation now the NEXT LEVEL, all with Knowledge feeling so confident only after the 1st leg...mxm!.... ;)

well i must admit, im intrigued now to know what you and Remy are cooking up, but its cool, i suspect we will all know in time. unfortunately the prospect of a mixtape although intriguing still fails to answer the question, if at all you guys are working on something of that magnitude behind the veil, then what is the selection criteria going to be, how will one know if they made "the cut" ?............i propose we get someone to judge this battle, someone whose musical integrity can speak for itself, doesnt have to be a beat maker, can even be a seasoned listener...just an opinion... ::)

there you do have a point, i am trying to get some "old timer" here to judge us up, but its a bit of an issue gettin holed off niccas, better yet, this will be national pretty soon.

The objective right now is to get kats up here.

To answer the question on judgement, for now we all judge, theses two levels are to initiate the main process, i think first of all we need to trust eachother and get points of view of work we all do.



For round two, we do have a judge.....
The man with the main idea behind this one.

REMY



The SECOND LEVEL STARTS TODAY.......

I like FL Studio coz you can bang out outside instruments in it. Plus the shit you can do to samples is just crazy. But Reason seems to have better sound quality, especially the Drums. Plus you don't need virtual instruments coz its standalone and it has a huge library.
