I liked this, it sounded real pro but from an 80's view. Just lacks that low end, other than that this is real good.

I like those kind of samples, in fact the type I dig for. Drums could use more beefing up, you should try to layer a chopped up drum loop over that and see what happens :idea: 8)

Yup, you know it. I can't tell from these computer speakers (I'm at work) but its shaking up :wink:

I do that trick quite often, I bang out one shot drums then add another layer of chopped up break drums on top to really move the crowd. My song "Day of the Dead" (bandcamp site on my sig) is an example of this. If I was to seperate the two drums pieces you would shake your head at how simple and dull they sound by themselves.

Peace.

Here's another track made on MPC 500, mixed on FL Studio 9

It's upbeat and techno-ish. So you hardcore old school rappers might not like it. But don't worry, I'll have something for you all soon. This little peice of magic is making me switch to hardware lol
