Description : So i got interested in Hip Hop Beats. This is just my first one...
Its somekinda chilled and bass-heavy.
The tracck consists of a 808 bass, some pads and leads and the drums.
Hope its conform to the known HipHop norms ;)
You are free to use this beat for your own projects (maybe some vocals on it or a remix or something completely different) and id be very happy if you could send me your finished tracks or the link to them ;)
Also it would be very nice if you give credit then ("original by HMX" and then my Soundcloud Link -im unsure if i may post it here because of spam- or something like that) as its under cc-by-nc-sa...

Its easy just transpose from the piano roll basically for Example from C3 to C2 and then use an EQ to boost up the low moody frequencies a little bit that should give you a good sub-bass kick and if you boost the frequencies a lot, its gonna sound like when you didn't transpose it to C2...its a bit tricky but i'm getting to rap my head around it with the frequency spectrum.. thanks mate

The transposing of the rolls right before the hook are in addition automated.
I hope I could help you.

Nice melody man!...its a bit tricky doing the sub-bass kick thing to be in the right octave and stuff but i understand that since you mentioned that you're trying out hip hop,i know that the sub kick gives it the hip hop kinda vibe....and it tried so hard to conflict with the rest of the nice content of your track...but it was a good track.
try to take all the notes down an octave and then boost up the low frequencies that comes with doing so cause it gets a bit moody and unclear, that way the notes you played for the sub kick wouldn't be so obvious to spot out;kinda lies beneath your mix. Good work bro!
i would be posting a track am working on which has the sub kick thing happening so you'll be the number one judge to tell me how it worked with the rest of the song.
Thanks and keep up the Good work!!!

Thank you very much for your advice!
Ill try it out within the next days...
Maybe i put the bass to high as i dont have a sub (just my Presonus Eris E5 which reach down till 53 Hz)
Thanks again that you took yourself the time to help me improving my track ;)

.. just listened to "Fadding Terrains" and "Nectar".. very nice! I really like your chilled but energetic style of producing
Cheers ;)
