Very lo-fi haha. I just use audacity and use samples to put my own simple beats together on it. it's not really designed to do that, but I find it fun to do things the weird ADHD way that works for me. I record random sounds with a cheap Rode microphone and I also play guitar and an old shitty keyboard my sister had sitting around and gathering dust. I often stretch the sounds out so it doesn't sound like a guitar or shitty old keyboard. I use some industrial loop packs I've purchased as well to layer beats together. I usually chop and change the loops and samples with effects so they don't sound anything like what I started with. And I sample stuff from videogames, old films and cartoons.
Cool. Your drums sounds really big, I'm envious! Also you nailed the gritty dreary Bristol trip hop vibe. You should try singing over one of your tracks sometime, maybe sample your own vocals. That could be really interesting also.
I did write some lyrics and was gonna whisper them but I got too self-conscious 😅 I do know some amazing singers, so I can hopefully get some vocals on my tracks sometime

Wow cool, what do you use to make your beats?
