Over in another thread, I proposed the creation of a large collaborative beat tape. That idea was perceived pretty damn well. Now, we're going to begin.
Here's the important info:
-
The idea is one big (or small, depending on how many people get involved) hip hop beat tape, produced by various members of the community. We're going for an old-school/lofi/bump style, not trap (with the exception of the rare but delicious lofi trap style, such as a lot of music by Yang.)
-
The project is completely open. Any member of the community can participate.
-
Whether or not a track gets into the tape will be determined by its reception, from both other users involved in the project and the community as a whole. If the reactions to your track are positive, your track's probably getting in. We will most likely have some kind of vote for what tracks get in, somewhere down the line.
-
The project should focus on newly made tracks. A few old but gold beats may be allowed.
-
Pretty much everything else is to be discussed and decided here, in this thread. That includes these guidelines, if people don't agree with them. The creation and management of this thread is the most "leader" thing I plan on doing.
With that said, here are some suggestions:
suggestions:
-
Talk and discuss with other people in this thread. As long as it somewhat relates to the project, go ham!
-
Post the beats that you make for the project here, of course. If they aren't posted here, we likely won't see them.
-
Listen to the tracks that are posted here! This is one of the most important parts of making this project work. Listen and respond to as many posted tracks as you can.
-
Have fun with it!
I think that covers just about everything I wanted to say. I'll be linking this thread to people who either show interest in the project, or seem like they would. Let's get working guys!

is this lofi beat tape?
just read now i understand lol
im so interested you have no idea. when do we start?
Whenever! I'm already working on a couple tracks. Once we get a decent base of songs to throw in, we'll focus on deadlines for things.
For now, just pure productivity and creativity.
also how do we put in our tracks?
i don't think i can help with any future projects i'm kind of almost out of ideas so i'll have to update you in further time...but i love to contribute, you can use any old lofi tracks i have made or partnered in. :)
All/most of the songs will be pulled from tracks posted to this thread, so that's pretty much the only thing needed
so i put the link to my track here?
Yeah, that's alright. We'll definitely see about grabbing some older stuff. If you get some inspiration for something like this, though, post it here!
Yee, that's it
okay!
https://www.audiotool.com/track/cmf62jv0li/ one of my chillest lofi bumps
so what do i do
This would be really cool actually
Right now, two things: Make music and put it in this thread, and listen and respond to the other music that's posted.
Glad you're into it!
noice
https://www.audiotool.com/track/for_mother-fer5byvr/ my only lofi track so far
How are we gonna put the beats together in a tape?
We'll put it together as an album on here, and then maybe compile it together to release it elsewhere. I definitely want to put it on soundcloud and youtube, if everyone else is cool with it
hey im up for this!
i'd appreciate it if you would check out my tracks to see which one I could base off of for the tape
Im down
Ok so i have a track here, but idk really know if its lofi soo. but if it qualifys as lofi then use it over the other one

here's one
Here's my: https://www.audiotool.com/track/0x2c4lce/
I meant mine
That beat was hella fire!!!!
https://www.audiotool.com/track/truly_special/ its pretty old but It's still lofi trap
https://www.audiotool.com/track/qtwmxhmugmme/ made a weird lil thing
super cool, but super experimental. we'd have to see if it'd end up fitting in with the rest of the tracks
both of these are amazing imo
pretty dope
i'm responding to all of these tracks late, but yeah, this is and has been one of my favorite tracks on AT. this should, without a doubt, be in
pretty cool, the kick is a little weird, but it sorta works. Maybe try messing with the kick and see if another fits better, idk
pretty cool, not too much to comment on. let's see what other people think
sounds cool, i think the kick's a little too heavy but that might be the point

I did this too, but the sample is old: https://www.audiotool.com/track/a5jiaw3qce9c/
the beat is simply good
vvv i totally agree
the melodic part is so good, but the drums needs a better job
https://www.audiotool.com/track/sunnydays_wav/ - good vaporwave, vox are spledid
https://www.audiotool.com/track/love_wav/ - this one is so relaxing
the time of some parts is a bit strange. but the atmosphere sounds good.
i loved this shit.
maybe not da classic hip hop shit but it has some Nionsomnia Raps in it https://www.audiotool.com/track/global_tinnitus_f_ers_do_run/
good, but it also needs an improvement.
part of the song is lo-fi
another part is trap
i liked the joint
but 808 bothers me a little
drum work is so exciting
love the vibe
before the all of the samples got taken down, they had some fire ass lofi drums. but since they took all of tight ass drums off, I just had to make do.
same for everybody
Thank you very much
super groove, i love it
There are things to work but I really do enjoy this.
When it comes to 808 it truly doesn't fit and bothers.
These are the settings I would go on Heisenberg, but overall I vote for this to be in at tapes.

Something different then.

Poorly crafted and mixed, something that normal person would listen in a toilet while taking the shit.

what do you think about this shinobi? https://www.audiotool.com/track/ayripj35/
it's not lofi. but it's r&b, mixed with trapsoul https://www.audiotool.com/track/qs7syab7u1e/
https://www.audiotool.com/track/ux5l0ikpabf/
hello I am alive again
this project isn't abandoned, we still going in on this
this is pretty fire
Thanks, my d00d
this is super smooth, i like this a lot. the ambiance is great

not sure if https://www.audiotool.com/track/1989-Fk1NA2T/ would fit the category
does it matter if it was made before the apocalypse
https://www.audiotool.com/track/lam27spndo3v/
old school boom bap https://www.audiotool.com/track/oy1qzzjr/
Seems that this project is abandoned. Time to bring in the vibes.
