That panel jam at the Brooklyn creative meetup changed my beat workflow

I was at a beat battle in Brooklyn last month and this producer from Bushwick dropped a track using only field recordings he captured that morning. Has anyone else ditched sample packs for raw audio and noticed a difference in your sound?

Have you tried recording your own drums from random objects around your apartment? I started banging on pipes and stomping on cardboard boxes and the character it gives my beats is way more interesting than any pack I've used. It forces you to work with weird tones and imperfections that end up making the whole track feel alive.

Yeah field recordings add this gritty texture that sample packs just can't touch...
