  1. I had a listen. I didnt like the choice of samples and for scratching a whole track ur choice of samples has to be good. Its sorta like when someone makes a beat on a little casio keyboard no matter how sick the sequence is it will sound wack because of the sounds it has. Im not saying your song was wack but I think you need better samples. As for the structure it sounded too random, I dont know if you ever make a song it has some kind of base to it this was all over the place but the ideas are there. I mean it was one of your first tries just keep doing. I tell you this much i dont think i could do that, never tried. Just keep working at it.
  2. LOL.. true they are expensive. Graduate from something and you can get it as a graduation gift.
  3. if youre going to be gigging which i did before school started having a small laptop really helped. If this is at home or something then just get a laptop with allright specs. You dont need super specs to run serato its pretty stable on its own. And you do not need a Mac to be more stable thats total shit. You just need to know how to take care of your comp. I guarentee most computer crashes are user fault. Anyways i use a Vaio pentium M 1.6 GHz 512 Mb of RAM. Never has crashed on me and ive used serato for hours on end in a club and at home.
  4. The first 3-5 seconds were good and there are bits and bobs that are good and are what you should try to go for. youve gotten alot better but youre trying to do too much the basics mayn the basics. Other than that youre improving but practice practice practice.
  5. yea man you need serato. how the hell do i miss all these things.. anyways shits sounding sick. And i agree with lorn then again if you keep that chill of a vibe on this mix it would work but I doubt youll do a whole chill mix like this. anyways hurry and finish it mayyyn. great stuff
  6. thanks doooob seeveeen. I always like your mixes, ive been listening to this one all day yesterday. I like it mayn. Hook it up with some mo.
  7. it has its good parts man, nice stuff. Im in the same boat as you but I noticed when I take long breaks from scratching it gets me away from doing the same thing over and over so I always either learn a new scratch or I get a better flow. Either way good stuff
  8. i agree with mono. The synth sounds like racing cars. The beat is sick though, i feel like having a cut to this. Dont mind if i do. p.s. where the hell have you been chile? or am i just not on enough?
  9. Right on for the listen craigdog. Yea im thinking about putting some cuts to it but i just have to find the right sample. I dunno, ill find something. Thanks for the feedback guys. The more the better.
  10. thanks for checking it out mr. nice. Now if i could only get him to sing on it.... oh that would be cool.
  11. I wish haha. Actually we are thinking about getting one of our buddies that does really well spoken word to do the intro. And then our task of finding a good singer. We even have a good melody for her to write lyrics to but we have to find a singer first. Thanks for checking it out steve.
  12. allright So heres a song me and a buddy have been working on. Its far from done but im kind of stuck for ideas. Thinking about adding a Sax part, either live or sampled. Almoust everything but the drums are real. Also thinking about adding some cuts to it... well see. Let me know what you guys think. Any constructive critisism is appreciated, As long as I can improve it tell me if you hate I wont really care just let me know what you hate. Thanks gentlewomen. Collar FO Life Emoticon
  13. I like it doogie. except for the sample but it fits it but im not to fond of the sample "all day everyday" p.s. after listening to it again, i like it more. I really like the ending and how its super chill. Either way cool shit man. Maybe I post something... actually I will
  14. I thought it was cool except for that annoying and sometimes painful high pitched robotic like sound. GOD DAMNN. haha i couldnt stand listening to the song after like a half a minute of that sound. But other than that it sounded cool to me, i likedted it.
  15. what bullshit in what scene? sorry im just wondering.
  16. Hey guys I need a song or whatever that says Chill baby or check the break none come to mind right now. I just need a song title and artist and if possible an mp3 but I would be happy with a song title.
  17. do u use that midi to keystroke thing tdo?
  18. Yes yes indeed i like your phrasing, always a pleasure to listen to mayn.
  19. it costs you money just to breath in New York
  20. Right on Pug thats what I need, Critic the shit out of it. I fixed them up ill post an update later on. Everyone else Check out the song
  21. Heres something I found that I never used its called slams. A little loop to scratch too. Enjoy. Slams Loop
  22. thanks for the listen steve. Yea thats me beatboxing, its a pretty short part but we are thinking about making a beatbox track with more complicated patterns.
  23. ok so this what I have been working on with a buddy of mine and its not done (ie. might throw in some cuts and definitely gonna get a singer for this) but I really like it and its one of our better songs. Anyways it might not be everyones cup of tea but check it out. Feedback would be greatly appreciated because you can never have enough (good or bad). Thanks. Unfinished Don't Fret p.s. if you listen till the end you get to hear my voice (im sick so i sound raspy and like a 12 year old going through puberty)
  24. thats what you think... till they get ya! p.s. i meant fee
