hold the line was on at five guys the other night and I immediately thought wow what an absolute banger no one has ever even considered chopping. taxi driver I've been watching a lot lately and honestly think its my favorite movie of all time. you can pause it at any second and just study what's going on in the frame it's visually perfect and what a soundtrack right from the opening credits to the floating carnage scene at the end

congrats!

there was quite a famous german rapper that had a hit on that samples.

toto is sure a way to get sued if you release w/o permission

 

[JayMykalMusic]

props for the win

we beyond snitching at this point might as well double check the site so as not to make the very obvious beat out of tracks like this

SoDamnFresh will know if anyone else has used this

 

[The Wig Master]

didn't know people had used it before. I've never heard any of those songs. they all kinda did the same thing. I'm hoping someone on here can do it better.

the MOP 'cold as ice' foreigner flip is my standard of how this should be done

hey a friend of mine mentioned my mixes are coming out a little hot, harsh and distorted. I'd appreciate any feedback on this

 

[Dheurt]

Quick one

Have fun

* Nothing external, everything from TOTO track.

 

[KappNeffect]

No outside samples/drums.

 

[MOXATRON]

Yo

What's good people?

Damn...
Taxi Driver is one of my favourites of all time.
Happened to see this when I was around 14/15 years old. :shock:

tempo 88 used the Hold the Line sample.
Usual approach for chopping, just outside drums added.
Bass from the sample.
Amped up the guitars. Added some filter action.



Peace Mox.

 

[Swoop-Man]

Used the God's Lonely Man sample. Ran it through Portal to get a drone atmosphere as the backbone of the beat. Embellished with frequencies. Dilla Month.

They are indeed a bit heavy on the low and lack some high frequencies. Also, most of the time it's preferable to keep frequencies below 350HZ mono. And a little distortion isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Other than that music wise always on point!
