Let me know what you think of this beat

by hand is the way i did it, thats the first beat i ever made on a keyboard btw.( Korg Triton Studio )

I aint exactly a rich guy, far from. so i dont have the best equipment at home.

I usaully use all computer based software.

I was givin some time to use that piece of equipment so i wasnt gonna say no you kno what im sayng.

I made that loop up in prob idk 15 - 20 min, wasnt suposed to be anything spectacular.

which is exactly why i aint using it for anything, was just for fun.

Best believe when i got some real time on that baby again ima make somthing better, maybe somthing ima actually use? haha idk, well see.
Oh yeah, cool. I used to have a Korg Triton (not sure if it's the same one)...unfortunately had to pawn it in for some money. That keyboard is a pretty powerful tool; you can do an awful lot! Not sure how much different it may be from the Korg Triton Studio keyboard though.

But since you're doing it by hand, quantization will help make sure you have the beats in the right place. If you quantize to 16th notes, any note you trigger on the keyboard will be "moved" to the nearest 16th note so that everything is on-beat. To my knowledge, no one has perfect (as in 99.999% like a computer/clock does) tempo. So if you were a couple milliseconds late triggering that snare, quantizing will move it to the nearest 16th note, whether it be before or after your physical triggering. Don't get me wrong, not having perfect tempo (in other words, almost un-noticeable, but not too noticeable) & varying dynamics is what gives beats "life" or makes them not sound like they came from a computer. For instance, sometimes (purposely) having the snare (if on 2 & 4 in 4/4) a couple milliseconds early/late or a simple flam, yields a nice "rushing" or "lagging" feel in some cases.

All that aside, just keep on working on it. I was wondering why this beat sounded different than your other ones. I was confused how this beat had a higher number, but sounded like it was an early one (compared to your others).

 
FIrst let me say that i respect you for the way you aproach when somone asks what yout think.

speakin of other ones, what you think of the the other ones?

Most of them are redone now lol and they sound alot nicer without the vocal tags and at a higher bit-rate but i gotta use em like that for safety.

I think my favourite jus might be ( beat 21 ) it is now a sick sick sick song,( The Street Philosophy ) about the state of the youth.

Its a story of a kid who ****s his life over with drugs n then trys to lash out at the rest fo the world to get what he doesnt have cuz he lost it all., n he ends up dyng tryng to get what he never had, all ending with a sick conlcusion in the last verse with the intence organs n strings.

The other ones are pretty good, but whats up with the bird sound in all of the beats?
