I tried to underproduce this shitty beat and Iām satisfyed by the ratio effort/result.
I adjusted the compressor following to this post
Just added bx_masterdesk on the end with a preset and exported.

Nice! Some really cool stuff in thereā¦ you did hiphop on the ms before right? Did you switch it for a Dt? How do you like it?

Sounds pretty complex for an āunderproducedā track. I like the end where the soft chords come in!

Yes i had the M:S, i Liked it a lot, it introduced me to elektron stuff after a long time making music only in the box. I was bored of using a computer (all day long 40hours a week at workā¦) the M:S made me enjoy again beatmaking with hardware stuff. But i wasnāt fully satisfied because i always needed to use my computer to get the samples and feed the M:Sā¦
I sold it and get a DT, and i donāt regret it! Itās a perfect box for making old school boombap. I think Itās a kind of modern sp1200, easy and fun to use, with all the advantages of new technologies. Overbridge is a must, u dont need any daw to get the tracks out, itās perfect.
I tried the new mpc series, i didnāt liked it, i think for the kind of music i make limitations are very useful. The MPCās are more like daws with touchscreen, for me a laptop with a controler is the same. To much options kills my creativity.
For boom bap producers, i think actualy the DT is the best piece of gear to get for price/quality.

Completely agree with that, also on the mpcās feeling like daws built into a controller. Good to have your music in this topic, itās inspiring to hear other peoplesā beats!

I always saw the DT as this too. This box is so perfect for beatmaking, quickly inspiring to make beats.
I never tested the new MPC nor Maschine+ but I also see them as an embeded computer into a controller.
The real contender for the DT is Analog Rytm MKII and Octatrack. But both are way more expensive and donāt bring a lot more for hip hop beatmaking. (Yes OT bring too much actually)

Iāve tried almost every sampler out thereā¦ the DT is still the most perfect hiphopmachine I know.
-The old mpcās are legendary but miss some of the more advanced sample mangling, sequencing and synth functions the DT has
-Same goes for the roland spās. Even though the effects and workflow on those are really nice, they feel like sketchpads instead of beatmaking machines.
-The new mpcās feel like daws in a box.
-I havent tried the sp16 and machine+ā¦ they might be a nice middle ground.
As for the OT and AR: iāve been using the AR for hiphop now for a month, and the verdict is still out. It does sound rawer than the DT, and has some nice features, but is also has some irritating limitations like no retriggering amp envelopes and no finetuning startpoint, which are really annoying for the way I like to chop samples. The OT kind of scares me, people complain about it feeling like a chore to work with, and thats something iām certainly not looking forā¦

I would like to try the AR, but on the paper it donāt offer more than the digitakt for sample based music. For someone who donāt need the extra outputs and analog drum voices it seems to be overpriced.
The OT is a mistery for me, i never had an occasion to try it but i would love to.

OT adds a huge amount of options for sample mangling, but as far as just making hip hop beats with samples Iām not sure what the OT brings to the table over the DT.
Well thereās one thing, SONG MODE! WTF Elektron

Yes i think itās a great tool for live performances and experimentation but as u said iām not sure that it can do more than the DT for classic sample based HipHop. They are differents machines for different purposes.

Might actually be worse for hip hop as beats are relatively straight forward and IMO the much faster workflow of the Digitakt suits that well. Unless you want to make like some Prefuse 73 style weird shit, in which case the OT would shine.

Love Stones Throw and have never even heard of this beat battle, definitely want to participate in the future.
Cool track also btw, thanks for the heads up!
thanks
The bassline for the first part is a one shot bass sample isolated and played on keyboard, for the second part itās included in the same sample of the guitare
