We're out of here. . .Peace', lol

Bravo!

Thanks. Glad you like it. I love messing with Saxophone and horns. It can sound dope on a proper hiphop track too. See a few people used it.

tpiah:

hmmm- not bad.

It sounds rather like Fela's beat

are you going to flesh it out and add more vocals or is the current version the finished one?

Very good observation. It is an influence from him.

I will add more vocals, but as it stand at the moment, I am just seeing what I can do beat wise. Lyrically and vocally, I think say I dey okay. Beat wise, I never reach there lol.

What you are listening to is just a taster, there is always room for improvement.

Was joking, keep it up. More vocal, makes your beat more personal.
Unlike the other two detached beats. MO.

@wengewenge
. . . . and you are?

Nice tune. I like the melody. With just a bit more work on this track, it would be perfect

lmfao, el razur throwing bombs, krayola ur sick men .

ElRazur,
  you try oh. Few comments. Krayola talked about moving the sounds around, I agree. You said you didn't really mix it yet so that's understandable. If you can work on your FX settings and make the instruments blend more together and sound like "they're being played together on the same stage, at the same time" it'll add an extra umph to it. Also try to make the transitions flow/blend a little smoother for when you switch between the horns and the keyboard. Not just the levels but the overall feel and notes that are being played. Overall good job and keep it up! and more!

Thanks. I have that pinned on one side of my head for the next track lol.

I uploaded three tracks already. They are all on this section - should still be on the front page of this section. All have similar heading.

^ooh I like that Westcoast beat. Nice feel. I imagine if you mixed it some more, threw on some basslines . . . killer. lol. (didn't fancy the extra tune at about 46secs into it, but other than that, I like it. One can get def their rap on to that.

@ ELrazur. . . Is there anyway u can make 16 bars of this beat without the horns. Its hard to talk over them. . . sounds like too much going on. and there isn't enough space to spit much ( just 4 bars available to spit on) . . . I'm a rapper, remember. . . i ain't Fela  If not I'll just improvise and spit over a lil bit of the horns.

It will have to be tomorrow evening. I am in bed with the netbook on my lap and watching terminator two on tv lol.

It is just a matter of rearranging. If that is too long, you may just go ahead and spit for fun. .

haha. aight. I'll spit for the hell of it.

Thanks, look forward to hearing it o.

haha. I had to stop workin on it cause it's getting late and I can't keep making so much noise. I have to head out anyways.  But here's what it sounds like so far.    I had to rap over your voice a lil bit or I wouldn't have had much room to do anything. ,   but I made up for it by sampling your voice and moving it around. lol. Kinda make-shift, but like u said, as long as we reach the answer, e no matter if na wuru wuru we take reach there

this happens to be el razurs weak point , jesoul lecture him more on mixing and using fx, he doesnt seem to know which mixer fx is used for which instruments? eg bass-sound goodizer piano-small reverb kick-compressor etc , tell him a lil bit of ur own mixer experience. i notice he doesnt bass up his kick too. teach how how to mix in ur own way, that will be helpful.
