Both of these tracks hit
@O Fenômeno
This track is amazing, and the arrangement is solid! The Mix the drums a little better and you have a track perfect for Rick James in his prime!
Some of the leads, also bled into the mix which doesn't bode well for the ears. But the Track itself is a great one that when you fix those few things this will be incredible.

@DJ Mart-Kos

This is well done. The only thing, and I mean the only thing with this is its a tad loud overall. Your drums punch, The vibe is soulful, and you really provide an emotion with the track. If you turn down the overall volume of the track you have something.

I don't care if a track is short. It sounds good or it doesn't. It hits or it doesn't.

My vote for this round goes to @DJ Mart-Kos

The difference in my vote had to do with the drum and melody mix of @O Fenômeno and while the overall loudness of @DJ Mart-Kos took away from it in some instances, I can turn volume down.
But if you turn down an improper mix, nothing changes.

So it came down to mixing

Great battle/showcase both of you.

Yea I've been in my 80s bag alot recently.

I got a Roland D10 and a Yamahas TX81Z sound rack..(basically a DX7/100 sound rack) and some linn and overheim dmx drum samples and such...mpc live comes with those and all the 808,909,707 etc samples .

It may be time to get some monitors for mixing.

Oh dope! Yeah a lot of your new tracks have the 80's sound which is dope! if you're in the market for studio monitors Checkout the KRK Rokit 6's.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

That's honorable of you to vote for your opponent.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

That's honorable of you to vote for your opponent.

Yeah cause his beat is just better to me.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I've tried making retro wave but I suck at it

 

[CrushedGroove]

I think I was electric bugaloo'in in my seat.



I loved both of these. Based on the technical aspects, I gotta go with @DJ Mart-Kos. And feel, I go with @O Fenômeno.

This is a toss up.

Merging my gut and my mind, I give it to @O Fenômeno

 

[producingfire]

This one is going to be close @LauderdaleBoss would probably agree on that.

 

[SymbolicOne09]

Damn idk who to vote for

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Are those drums from an Oberheim DMX?

I wanna know cuz sounds just like Rick James and some Westcoast classics

 

[franknitty711]

I just voted for DJ Mart. Have to say this was a great competition right here both great c&arranged well. The difference maker for me is the quality of the drums and mart hit that mark.

congrats to both. Can’t say enough how much everyone has leveled up.

 

[NormanConnors]

O-Fenômeno

Both you and DJ Mart-Kos have my two fav beats in the tourny so far.

DJ brought this round too, but O was on some intergalactic shyt

 

[producingfire]

both producers actually produced their best work that I've heard from them in my opinion. This is a great round.
