sample the drum kick off the original record, EQ it, turn the lows up alot, layer a thick kick onto it, put a low pass filter on the thicker kick, and that will get you a decent Kick

nice one

your tip worked, I put a 808 style kick on with the sampled break and it sounded great, have to put it through a compressor though as its hot.
got some compressor plug ins, the "classic compressor" setting seeks ok for now.
the eq makes a whole load of difference though.

no doubt, glad to see it worked, also normalizing the drum break will give it some more power

YO e.d.e. u got some of the dirtiest fingaz son.U got mad knowledge of the Records-which brings mad knowledge of the music and the culture its self-nawmeen? Word to the Led Zepplin records.....The Beasties are nice when it comes to diggin and their production skills are nice-they was there when the Drum Machine/Sampler era came to be,they was there b4 that and was doin that NYC lo-down Punk stuff.So They know a thing or 2 about the records and they play instruments,too.all their albums are in my collection cd and vinyl-except that punk stuff,except my Cooky Puss 12"(OG RATCAGE-Made in France& i got tha Cassette,too). When sampling dont sample it from the Hiphop joint go 4 the untouched un processed OG. For everyone out there thats serious bout this, and it aint some fad or phase-u was wearin studded dog collars and listenin to Punk 2 years ago and HATED HIPHOP(NO OFFENSE,DONT FRONT-I know i gotcha Opin) :?: -Study the RECORDS.Dont wanna do it4 tha $$$$ or if u make it-dont let the $$$ motivate u-dont switch 4 no one-if they wanna change u , that means they wasnt feelin u from the door. BE PATIENT Preem wasnt making Bangers when he 1st got to NYC,the first GS album,the tracks he did, was him and the studios engineer a Jewish cat named Shlomo! He learned more and more after the 2 year hiatus between the 1st LP and Daily Op-he got busy-plus he knew Music and Records to begin with-since he was young!

what is a pro ?
arent we all pro's?

if your a master at youre craft then you a pro.
thats how i see it.

the Beastie's where ahead of there time , they are the only group that still exsist from the early yrs of this hiphop culture. plus they are they only group that ever croosed over to another genre. so yeah they had better put there talent to there music.

beasties drop nothin but classics and by far are have the best Live rap performance out there, Mix Master Mike adds a completely new flavor to each song, after theyve killed it, the stage flips around and they are a full band. untouchable on most standards and you cant even compare dudes to that
