Thank you but I wish I knew theirs was more s*** to download when you first launch it

Now I’m stuck watching tutorials instead of f***in with it lol

I know one of y'all got a link to that damn bongo cowbell sounding thing

Just find a memphis drum kit off Reddit

Pretty sure it’s just from a tr 808 or 909

Its alright to be inspired by other producers but its more important to develop your own sound

na man not that cowbell. errbody know what that is. that congo sounding s*** i cant explain it lmao

the sound at the start of every bar on this

I don’t hear a Congo on this

Bruh so you don't hear that 🎶bong-bong🎶 at the start of each bar ?? That's the sound I'm talking about. I don't know what the instrument is. Sounds like a bell or wood drum

Alright guys I found it. It's the sound at 1:30

Kinda proud about this one

Cheers y'all

Would it be a good idea to put my beats out on Airbit / Beatstars as free downloads at first to attract more people?

No. IMO it devalues your work when I see it as free, shows that you don't trust yourself.

You should have full confidence that your product is worth something. Even if you have 0 followers. Just be patient, if you're good enough time will come.

Thank you for your input

this is genius!! lol

Made these drums

my brother uses reason he loves it. I have fruity loops. my cousin has Ableton. and my bro don't f*** with any of that s*** he's all reason. its all about the use bro and what you like and what know how to use or are willing to learn

don't do it

I just got into producing its fun as s*** and I suck. but I'm having so much fun learning something new I'm becoming obsessed with this s***.

if you getting into selling type beats then yeah that's a good start.

I wish it was easier to sell gear and software. People keep trying to scam me online by saying they can't pay now but they'll pay double next week lmao...

What kind of gears and software are we talking about?

I don't make type beats, I just don't know how to market my work because I don't have 1 genre or sound

This is a bad take. Nothing is ever really "free" when it comes to selling beats online. There's more ways than just selling the beat upfront to get value from it.

For example would you rather sell a beat for $100 or would you rather let people download it for free in exchange for their email and build a huge email list of people who are interested in your beats which will allow you to interact and sell to them other beats directly? If you manage to get 1000 emails and only 1% of them buy a beat you're making 10 sales vs the 1 sale.

Studio monitors, a microphone, an audio interface, headphones, amps, guitars and a bass

Too much software to list
