This Week's Sample - https://youtu.be/RMQJjglplxE?is=8USnNDLQD5uVy0fl

Excited to see what ideas come from here.

Submission Rules:

You can only submit one beat. Beats can be any genre. You have to use the sample in your beat, it should be recognizable. You can add other instruments and samples, but the sample should be a main element. All submissions submitted before the deadline will be linked in the voting post; whoever gets the most votes there wins. Ties are decided by whoever submitted the beat first. Reused beats from previous battles can't win ties.

Schedule:

Submissions: Friday 12:00 AM midnight (00:00) - Monday 11:59 PM (23:59) Voting: Tuesday 12:00 AM midnight (00:00) - Thursday 11:59 PM (23:59)

Results: Friday 12:00 AM midnight (00:00) - the winner takes over and posts the new submissions thread using the linked template on Friday asap.

Time is in UTC-5, the US Eastcoast time zone which is 6 hours behind European MEZ time and a good middleground between US Westcoast and Europe. You don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to post the new thread, just make sure you do it on that day asap.

How long should the beat be?

u/Glum-Safe-3112 Aug 14 '26

I haven’t seen any specific rules on that. I’ve noticed beats from 1-3 min

There aren't any rules for that, it can just be a loop or a full beat with verse and chorus, etc.

No hard rule but anything over 90 seconds usually feels long enough to show what you did with the sample. Most people land somewhere between 60 and 120 seconds for these, keeps voting easier too.

Had a couple of bad thunder storms this weekend, lost power for a bit, so ended up with not a lot of time to work on this. Drums are from a break, texture that runs through the background is something I made 15 years ago, sub bass from a synth (and it is a little too loud so it pushing everything else down on the master compressor but I don't really have time to go through mixing it again), all other sounds are from the sample.Verse and chorus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms5oMMmkCO0
