Did you program the hats in that or is it from the loop you indicated? I'm not at a computer to find out. I've always loved that ultra tight fast blast done tastefully. Either way, you used it masterfully.

Great use of effects to create interest as well.

You really have NO idea how pleased I am that you posted something from this genre. It's not what I listen to all the time; but that's part of why I love it. There's not much like it on here; YET it's a genre that a good portion of the globe is listening to.

Keep 'em coming' and bring what you're bringing. MUCH appreciation for what you're doing.



Wow, thank you so much HTL!

To be completely honest, Hip Hop really wasn't much my thing either, but I was inspired by all those posts you, (and IIRC JohnJohnJohn ?) made sometime back about making modern type music and hip hop in BiaB, so thank YOU!!!

As for the hats, they all come from the cloud rap RDs. Looking back, I'm pretty sure I used a few other variations of that beat (other than the 03 variation the style came with,.. FYI, the simplest way to switch between variations is by left clicking at the bottom of any chord cell.

That said, in order to further enhance the rhythmic pulse of this track, I duplicated and layered various beats on separate tracks, and applied all sorts of filters, effects, eq, and even distortion in vastly different ways to each track. Then I sliced em up, and along the length of the track, muted and unmuted various layers in order to keep a sense of shifting dynamics throughout.

Thanks again for your glowing compliments :-)
