I enjoyed listening to all the beats but narrowed it down to drew and wax cuz the melodies were too sick and drums were banging. I voted wax inspektor cuz those drums just had too much boombap

sp404beatz - real original shit i was into that but could of used some variation

juxt - really liked the way you did the beat like the original but suped up

wax - really awesome drums and i loved the melody switch in the middle, also sounded great

drewzle - i really liked what you did with the beat as well was original too

this one was a tough choice gotta go with wax for better overall

:shock: Thanks a lot for the votes... Shit looks good at the time. :lol:
It was a great expierence to work with just one track and a fucked up drum snippet. There was a million cool ideas in the way you guys flipped that cheese. My favorite 3 beats are from juxt, drewzle and sp404beatz.
.. it was a hard decision but I gave my vote to juxt because that beat is
so perfectly produced. Very good sound-quality, witty chops & a nice groove; that's why you got my vote!

Now I'm ready for No.15 !

Juxt is a pro for sure!

I liked Drewzle's and Juxt's the best. Haven't decided which to vote for yet; but I will before the day's done!

Slightly off-topic @ Juxt: do you use the 'New York' method of compressing your drums? I've been learning about it lately and man does that technique make for BANGING drums!

Its an eastcoast thing :wink: you wouldnt understand :lol:
no, I dont use ny comp in these battles. When I apply NY compression I try to apply it to the whole drum pattern, I like the way the drums sound like they cancel eachother out. It would be too difficult to do it in battle cuz of the rules. But your gonna hear a bit of that when I put together my mixtape, hopefully not too much longer.

- I was hoping to hear you this battle, we gotta get a track from you for #15 606man. 8)

Cool man; I'm keen!

I've come up with a way that it MAY be possible to do NY comp on the SP - I'll see if I can get it to work properly before I post the ideas though. 8)

Hardest decision yet fer sure!! OK; I gotta vot for Juxt becuase that smooth style just sounds 'pro' to me.

Everyone should be proud of their efforts though - I played some of these to the music teacher here at school and he could not believe you guys made these tunes with so little source material. He's got (and I quote) "a new-found respect for the art of sampling". This guy's a real traditional classical/jazz musician too :wink:

Well Done to the SP Massive!!!

Once again............. its an eastcoast thing, you wouldnt understand :lol:

for real though, it may be best to ask in production techniques. A lot of cats might have input on this and take away from the subject of battle. In a few words its just heavily compressed audio layered over uncompressed or slightly compressed audio to create an effect, usually applied to drums.


thanks for the votes, I'm catching up- dont sleep wax :lol:

Yo juxt, I'll open a new topic in "production technics" cause I really wanna know about the secret technic of NY compression and I'll give my best to understand... :!:
Please take a look and feed the hungry ones.

Btw. Why are there so few votes??? Please give us (and I really mean us) some feedback!

So, I'll watch my back... Next votes might be deadly! :?
