Erykah Badu sample with my own created drums straightfrom abreak + J Dilla Bassline

[mark1234]

I created this beat real quick with a Erykah Badu sample.
I created the drumsounds by myself. They are sampled of a drumbreak and processed/effected by me.
The Bass is reminding of J Dilla.
And i played piano on top of it.

the samples flow together nicely, i just think the drums could be EQ'd a bit. good stuff!

Thanks! but what you mean. I EQ'd the drums already. What should i change. Let me know.

great job man, I'm really diggin' the beat... this is what hiphop used to sound like when I was a kid... oldschool shit!! keep up the good work!

[Buzzzzzzzzz]

the samples sounded real natural i like it...... Nice cool beat, you know what you're doing...... Im gonna check out the rest of your soundcloud in a minute

I don't know, not trying to be a prick, I just don't really like it. It sounds old and not crisp.

[mark1234]

yeah, that old sound is cause of the old drumsounds i used which is a plus to a lot of old skool hip-hop heads.

I've turned the keyboards up a bit. I think it sounds crispier now. Can more people give me advice on the mix? Does it really sound old? Or does it just sound more analog? i personally think this beat sounds very warm.

sounds nice. but you could bring out the bass a little more its pretty quiet and some mids to it maybe :P

Imo It doesn't sound that old tho because it is far well too mixed/mastered for that even if u didn't master it the quality is above the 1980 and early 90ies :P
