I like this a lot, and the message behind it.. it has a chill sound. That vocal sample which comes in at 0:18 is cool but I feel like sometimes it is over-used or is just positioned oddly on the beat lol
Overall very fresh though

You might be a little young for the the reference in that vocal sample but I hear ya on that.. I'm still trying to avoid just making a beat..or music instrumental so I try to include some vocals in there.. and the Isley Brothers song Footsteps in the dark fit this.. not to mention Ice Cube using that on "It was a good day" fit it nicely.. however I didn't use footsteps in the dark at all but I was trying to capture that vibe. It was asking 'are we really sure' taken from the acapella cover as if to wonder if today was a good day? Thanks for giving it a listen and the comment and critique..
Thanks I really like how I did the beat on this one... nice and punchy sounding..
This truly is the remedy to days when you just feel down. I was bobbing my head the whole time. ^_^
Some of these are in the factory sound bank... or rather they are presets that come with Reason 7.. there are a lot them organized by genre.. they are called .REX loops these loops are made by another program by the makers of Reason 7 called Recycle but I don't need that program to play them in Reason it has its own .REX loop player. Some companys make drum loops you can buy for Reason or any plugin that can play .REX loops. Our collab had one from a company called Sample Magic. I programmed some drums on top of the loops to give it an even more unique beat.
It's great, although I feel like making the chill non-chill by cranking up the volume on my sound system...!
Thanks I made the beat really stand out on this track so furs could really bump it on their systems..
sadly from the songs i played earlier i couldn't turn it up however
Whoops.. if that sounded like 16/8 was the meter... my bad... In Rap/Hip Hop 16/8 would be the verse and hook lengths 16 bar verse 8 bar hook(which is kinda like a chorus) so if someone wanted to freestyle.. or write a rhyme to it.. it would fit that.. but I'm just a common time composer but hmm.. UB40..? Anyone you know on FA that could sing in their style.... I'd like to help on a cover of one their tracks.. Thanks for the comment and fave!
Thanks man for the listen and fave.. I can sample ok.. it straight audio tracks that learning to work better with in Reason.
