"[Your favorite artist] Type Beat"
Week
The idea:
Nothing in this world is entirely new.
Everything is a collage, an adaption, created through experimentation and mimicking of what we´ve learned as working positively while growing up.
Now you´ve probably seen the flood of "XY type beats" online raising your eyebrows and hatin´ (consider myself guilty here) but ultimately copying is a part of learning and therefor improving and finding your way as an artist. Let´s see how that works for us and what we can learn from it
The rules:
- Use the sample(s) and try to recreate the style of your favorite artist/producer (can be current favorite or all-time).
Listen consciously to how they use and chop samples, their drum, arrangement and mixing choices etc.
- Put brackets with ([your favorite artist] type beat) at the end of the song title.
- Briefly tell us in the post about your process and learnings creating the beat.
- HAVE FUN
- Outside Instruments/VST/ - YES

I used a bunch of different percussions I had downloaded and "deep bass" from sytrus. The vocal shot is from a trap chants pack.
