Maschine Hip Hop Thread

@funcfresh "cool baby" dope minimalistic use of samples.. keep it going

 

Keep it up funk!

 

damn what a high level !

 

Tightwork there pawcut!
All sampling or did u use any vsts or instuments?

 

txs for listining
maschine stand alone.....all sampling except the warm fingered (sounds kinda kinky ) bass and the grid bugs kit from the maschine library

the rapper is my man legit from chicago (shame i didnt mention that in the 1rst post , apologize)

 

Fascinating thread. Surprised and pleased to see how wide the Maschine community casts its net--quite a number of different styles and sounds between the users. That's always nice to see.

I've posted a link at the bottom of something I threw together pretty quickly a few months back. It's heavily sample based--so much so that it's almost not really "hip-hop" anymore, but I'm happy with it.

To be honest, I'm not normally keen on sharing rough projects like this, but seeing as it's the first and only thing I've routed through Logic for mastering--and thus the most "sonically complete", I figure there's not much else I can improve on without some outside and hopefully sincere criticism. So, here I am.

Like I said, I'm pretty happy with the way it sounds, but, as you'll hear, the sequencing is very rough--it doesn't remotely resemble a full or traditional song structure. All I wanted was to get most of the scenes in there and give it that fully produced sound.

How'd I do?

I'd be happy to upload some more if anyone's interested.

 

agree to what u said that this a lil different than a standard hip-hop beat
i really like the way u chopped and flipped that thing and i really dig the whole vibe (i love curtiy may , btw ).......
2 things in my ears....
1rst ....from 0:53 on im out , i dont feel all that increasing drum action....
overall theres a lil bit too much happening there in my ears (like i could live without the saxophone part) ,even if its not made for a rapper i guess the track had more potential if u strip some elements down and give the beat more air to breathe
happy with the way it sounds and its mixed , too

 

Thanks for the comment. That album's been chopped and screwed by just about every producer I can think of, and yet it's managed to somehow never lose its magic. There's always some beautiful little slice someone hasn't exploited. Quite an achievement on Mayfield's part.

I kind of go ape on the drums sometimes, so I'm not surprised to read someone say there's "too much going on." It's a crutch. I realize. But when you don't have someone spitting over your tracks, it's hard to define a clear rhythm and "vibe", I think… A barrage of kick drums can often give it that necessary flow. But, you're right, and I'm surprised it took someone saying that the beat needs a little air for me to realize that the best part of that track is really the end, where everything slows down and the chops are given a little bit more room. I'll work on it.

 

Id just like too say before i post this that i am an Avid beginner. and learning. The drums sound how they do because i Just got put on too reverb and other FX (i know i know) but overall tell me what you guys think

Listen to the entire song in the lowest pitch/tempo on the turntable it sounds even better!

 

This track was made using only Maschine 1.6 Beta. I think the song is dynamite, but I need a set of trained ears to tell me if anything can be worked on? Thanks. Long live .... Maschine.

@blackknow it's a nice track I like the vibe. could use some more drum patterns to keep it interesting but I like it.

 

@Line-in dope. Really like the drum pattern & the intro is sick.

Yeah, that's nice. I'd love to hear King Tee rhyme on this one. But to be honest I don't like the two lead synths that much.
