This is one of my first beat made from scratch on Reason, I got inspired by a track from "Floetry". Feedback will be appreciated...

I thought it was fucking fantastic. The one thing that separates it from perfection is the samples sound choppy exposed at the begining and end. Like the piano and the yeah. In nature the piano keeps vibrating a while after you struck a key, so to hear it cut off so suddenly sounds off. You can get away with choppy with other instruments but not a piano.

Second thought. its not that you cut out the vibration of the third note, its that the vibration stops suddenly when the loop repeats. you need to find a way that it keeps going a bit when loops.

I thought it was dope. No disrespect, but i think Organix is nitpicking. I personally don't like hip hop to sound too polished, a bit of dirt under the fingernails is no problem, and sometimes is beneficial. Because we have so much power at out fingertips, sometimes I think the real talent is knowing when to say that's done, it don't need no more tweaking!

Yo P, real smooth man i especially liked your drum pattern.
I just downloaded a bunch o drum kits and made up a couple beats from scratch... its kinda weird not chopping up, but its fun...
