Crythix bass

Has anyone got Crythix's bass yet? I`m pretty sure it is combination of polyphonic chest bass and high pitch vocal or whistle. But I aint got it.

I have a chance to battle him next month. Imagine countering him

Mic for recording on a tablet

My son has been making beatboxing videos on his tablet and asked for a handheld mic and sound software for Christmas. Any recommendations for a mic and/or sound app that can be used with a Samsung tablet?

If this is something he sticks with we will work on a real set up but just looking for something to start with. Thank you!

Can someone explain how Raje's looping works?

Not new to beatboxing, but absolute dunce in looping. I can kinda follow what most loopers are doing, but Raje was something else. How does he create and perform his tracks? Is that even considered looping? I need answers

Has anyone purchased ABEMA.tv premium?

All of GBB 24's battles, showcases, and 7 to Smoke content are uploaded there. Can someone who purchased it explain whether the videos on ABEMA are uploaded there with increased video and sound quality, just like the Swissbeatbox YouTube channel or just as livestream clips? I'm curious.

Want to hold a Beatbox event in your area? Here's some things to be aware of..

Hi everyone, I have some time to kill so I thought i'd share my experiences of holding my national Beatbox championships and international battles for 10 years. There's nothing intrinsically difficult in holding a successful Beatbox battles event, it just requires persistence, patience and planning.
Please note, these are just my findings. I'm not saying you should definitely do all of the below (apart from one or two things) but it’s all worth considering if you're not getting funding, don't have a community interest company just yet to help you. Applying for funding is a frustrating process with lots of hoops to jump through so don't be deterred in holding your first event without funding, just make sure it's filmed so the level of talent and size of crowd can be seen for future funders/sponors/venues etc.. and ask everyone to fill out feedback forms. By the time you're on your 3rd or 4th event. You want to be involved with some sort of funding to pay for world-class judges. Funders will want you to be self sustainable anyways after a few years.

Venue:
* I try to book a venue as close as I can to a city centre/capital city so it's easy for people travel wise as train/bus stops will be close by and food spots near. Also plenty of potential spectators passing who may come to watch without knowing a Beatbox battles was happening.
I've been offered to hold Battles in quiet 'middle of nowhere' parts of the country which i've declined. It tends to take longer to get to these places and less people in the town can equal less ticket sales.
Make sure that the venue owner, shift manager and security are all on the same page as you can't always rely on the venue owner communicating every detail to the people who will be there on the day that you have to liaise with. I had the venue owner tell me it was find for my host and helper on the day to buy food from outside and bring it inside to eat. Only to find out it wasn't passed onto security which delayed proceedings slightly. It seems minor but it's an example of how you can't rely on others to communicate info to staff on the day.
* Ask the venue if you haven't finished the final by set time, is it ok if you go a bit over. This could mean that some/all judges showcases are saved for the very end because if the venue cuts your event short, at least you have all winners of the battles but if you don't try to cram in loads of stuff in the day you should fit it all in, even with delays like a judge going missing.
* Try to have an agreement/contract in writing with the venue just incase they try to stiff you out of money. In some instances, if it's a free entry non-ticketed event, they pay you a fee for running it which should be payed to you on the day. Having this in wirting covers you if they try to pull a fast one.

Promotion:
Don't just reply on one social media outlet, having your event only advertised on Instagram will only lead to low ticket sales. Make an event page on facebook, promote on twitter, in Beatbox all group chats you're in, posters in and around the venue months before, find poster spots in your city where other event posters are, put your poster over events that have already happening by checking the date on them. Have a QR code to a ticket link. Ask the venue to post about the event on their socials, ask Beatboxers to post about it. Get your judges to make a little promo video each. Hold a 'like and share this post for a chance to win tickets' giveaway... Get local Beatboxers together to busk with you and hand out flyers of the event with a giant poster on a stand by your PA system with all money earned from the busking going towards the event. Find local shops which will let you leave a bunch of flyer on their counter/poster in window.
Post about the event more closer to the build up. Inactivity on your socials weeks before the event can make people forget it's happening, even if you've already done loads of promo before. Find local radio stations and newspapers to ask to be interviewed about the event, particularly for national championships because the qualification for the World Champs attracts more interest than say an international battles although if you have people coming from all over the world to your event, then definitely try radio and newspapers to promote. All this may seem like long work but it's not difficult and you'll reap the benefits with ticket sales.

Host:
Don't just get someone hosting because they offered first, have a think about how confident, charismatic, lively they are as a person. It's a long day so don't pick someone who's likely to get drunk and be stumbling about the stage towards the end haha.
If you can get an experienced host that's great. They'll know little certain things that help for example. Reminding loopers to not pull out the jack cables from their looper until the sound tech as muted the channels. Try not to host yourself if you can because you need to be able to be free to find competitors, judges, chat with camera crew etc..
Having a Beatboxer as a host can be useful if time needs to be filled..Think Scott Jackson's quick freestyle at this years GBB. Also make sure the host knows the correct pronunciation of each name. This ensures to everyone it's a professional level event. You don't see Scott Jackson mispronouncing names but you see it all the time at lower scale events.
If you don't have a projector for behind the stage for your host to time keep, use an ipad or a computer for it, a phone tends to be too small.
* Before the host counts down 3-2-1... have them just quickly check with the camera crew to see if they're rolling first.
* Make sure you're host puts a fist out for 10 seconds left then for 5-4-3-2-1 a countdown with their fingers as apposed to saying '10 seconds' on the mic, some Beatboxers have told me hearing the host say '10 seconds' can be off putting and disrupt their flow, especially in the middle of say their special sound which now can't be heard fully by the audience.
The only thing that should be heard during that 1 minute 30 is the Beatboxer.
* Sometimes the person that isn't Beatboxing purposely tried to restrict the movement of the one Beatboxing by cornering them in, blocking their movements to frustrate them, not allowing them to perform freely, particularly on a smaller stages. It's normally the hosts job to usher them back a bit. It's a Beatbox Battle not a Boxing match. This doesn't really apply to large GBB like stages because you can just walk around them.
Things like this are outlined in the 'rules and regulations' section of an event info e-mail sent out to every competitor so they can't say 'hey you didn't tell me i couldn't block them in' this may sound like a dick-ish move but you'de be surprised. Same with their being no aggressive pushing, throwing opponents cap into the audience.. you can still use battle tactics in attempts to throw off your opponent whilst still being respectful

Judges:
For national championships, get international judges if it works with your budget to avoid bias, maybe even avoid an international judge if you know they're close friends with some of the comeptitors. For an international battles, focus more on experienced judges, high level Beatboxers and again try your best to find judges that are not close friends with several of the competitors, maybe look to avoid regulars in that busy group chat you’re in. Bias can happen sometimes without them even realising. Avoid getting judges who are just going to get drunk all day which obviously impairs their judgement/memory and are likely to be swayed by a louder crowd reaction. At other events, listen to conversation on how judges made their decision.
Don't say yes to the first people who ask to judge even if they're close mates. Instead put them on a shortlist for consideration.
Newly crowned GBB producer champ KBA was able to clearly and concisely explain the day after why he voted for who with great musical and battle knowledge. Frosty and D-Low are great examples of not using bias in voting, not being scared to vote against their closer mates.
For Loop station judges, I would try to pick more current/recent loopers over veterans/legends of the scene.
* make sure judges know to judge based fully on their elimination and not their rep in the scene, how well they have performed in previous events. Favouritism in this aspect sucks for those who are generally unknown and have been grinding all year to make sure their elimination gets them through to the head-to-head battles.
* Like hosting, don't judge at your own event. It may feel like an honour to judge all these high level Beatboxers but you need to be free to roam.
* Write down on a piece a paper/ the list of judges for each category and pin it on the wall near the stage so the host can quickly know which judges are needed on the panel.
* Sometimes I have 5 judges but in some cases 3 judges work out better because it's easier to fit in 3 judge showcase sets if it's a single day event. 5 judges are good for noticing bias when there's a blatant winner with friendships involved but sometimes it's hard to avoid because we're all friends, it's just that some are closer than others so you need to be aware of that.
* As with any competition, you all need to know what criteria are scoring you on .
Beatbox battles tend to be judged on the following criteria scoring 10 each one totalling to 40:

- TECHNICALITY
- ORIGINALITY
- MUSICALITY
- BATTLE PROWESS/ SHOWSHIP

** use the comment section below on how you feel the criteria of loop station battles should be.. Things like sound design, mix, song structure may be things you want scored for your event. **

* Have the higher seeding elimination pick 'heads or tails' in the coin toss..
* once you have the top 16 worked out for main solos, I tend to have 1st placed elim vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th, 3rd vs 14th, 4th vs 13th and so on.. make sure the judges know this. When you cover every detail like this beforehand, with a good host, the event ends up running itself leaving you the event holder relatively stress free and able to enjoy the battles.
* Try not to go for a non-Beatboxing judges like a DJ/Rapper/Breakdancer/Singer etc.. however musical they may be as it's more chance of them having no idea who to vote for when it's close. They most likely won't be submerged in the scene like us and may struggle to know for example, who is the more original sounding Beatboxer.
Having a judge like River, Colaps, Codfish, D-low who the competitors really look up to can inspire them to prepare a lot more than they would normally compared to some DJ you know. Saying that though, if they're a singer, vocal expert, that have taken a deep dive into Beatboxing, seen hours of it and are known like for example The u/TheFairyVoiceMother (youtube) I think someone like that would be a great judge but there isn't many exceptions.

* If you wan to have Main Solos, Tag Teams, Loop Station and Under 18's battles, a 2-dayer is best to save cramming it in all in one day, don't cut down the time of that food interval in the middle. To fill up a 2-days properly think about asking everyone to have a crew battles (4 vs 4), fantasy battles, stage jams, 2 loopers vs 2 loopers, meme battles (i.e. no snare allowed, only bass, DnB only rounds)

Tech specs for sound engineer:
Every event I give the sound tech EQ and compression settings which tend to work plus a soundcheck process for example:
MAIN SOLOS MIC
- just kick drums to start (check the bass is knocking but not too rumbly)
- just PF snares (check they’re punching and bright but not too sharp)
- just K snares (check they’re biting and 'cracky' but not painful)
- just hats (make sure they’re shiny and bright but not painful or dull)
- then individual bass sounds ( particulary inward lip roll sub bass) to check the sub is even and hard hitting
- then everything together to see if its sounding even. Make sure it's not soo bassey that the high suffer.

* The sound tech will know this but it's important the stage monitors are set very low for the loop battles to prevent feedback.

Microphones:
I don't have competitors in the solos and tag teams using their own microphones to keep things fair. It's best for people to have their own microphone head to change on and off. with sanitising wipes used for the rest of the microphone. Changing mic heads can spot the possibility of a quick counter so I guess you can have 2 different microphones ready but even the same make and model of a microphone can sound different on the same settings.
Find out what microphones the venue have for you to use and let them know you'll be swapping the heads often.
Avoid cordless microphones for battles at all costs. It's great for the host though.
After a lot of events, Beatboxers mention how ill they feel days after which mostly has to do with sharing mics but not only to do with it. People who are feeling unwell will still attend events.
- In the recent USA Championships, they sanitised the microphone after every 10 eliminations. Imagine being that last person before the sanitising, doing an inward k snare inhaling all that build up saliva in the windshield from the 9 previous people before you. I'm not knocking the organisers on this one, it's just a good example of how hygiene is still under slightly under valued in a big event in 2024.

Prizes:
e-mail lots of microphone, speaker headphone companies to ask to donate some gear towards prizes. If you make very good profits on your first event with ticket sales, consider putting something towards a cash prize for your next event. If your event is funded, put some money towards a cash prize.

Filming/ Audio:
Try your upmost to get the whole event filmed. To save costs try to look for students looking to gain experience that won't charge you half of your event budget. Make sure they're able to record to audio from the mixing console and a bit of crowd noise if you want the video to be of great quality.
* Find those who offer inexpensive wildcard video mixing/mastering services to do the audio for your videos as they'll be use to working with Beatboxing. Some of these battle that happen at your event will go down in Beatbox history, particularly in your country so don’t skim on costs by not having it filmed. An obvious one but phone footage is awful to upload to a youtube channel but fine for socials.

Event Schedule:
Have your event finish an hour before planned to compensate for delays. Try to have an hour food interval in the middle. Give your time schedule sheet to the venue shift manger, sound tech, camera crew, judges, host so everyone knows the plan of the day. I’ll edit this post another day if people are interested in my running order of the day!

Other:
- Have a case of bottled water stage side so Beatboxers are not queuing up at the bar for water when their battle is starting shortly.
- Once winners certificates are presented be sure to get photos taken
- Remind all attendees to bring their ID. I Had an international competitor before who didn't bring their ID to the venue to prove they're of age and almost had to go back to their hotel which would of put him out of the eliminations.
- Find out beforehand if the bar has plenty of ear plugs to give out. If you know someone bringing a baby/toddler, they will need ear defenders
- If there isn't enough time on the day for all solo and tag team competitors to have individual soundcheck, just have the judges soundcheck but loopers will need their own individual soundchecks.
- Be mindful of those Beatboxers who don't appreciate your efforts but without letting it annoy you. I've had a few turn up to my event, make no effort to find me to register for the battles they've entered, then at the end make no attempt to walk over to me before heading off to say goodbye/thanks.. then message me the day after only saying ‘yo, can i judge the next one’ or 'when's the videos coming out?' Unfortunately the average manners/appreciation/ respect/ communication skills have dipped slightly within the last 10 years with the newer competitors but that’s most likely a location thing. - If an under 18 doesn’t want to enter the U18’s and opt for the main solos instead let them. A new tag team formed on the day wants to enter the eliminations? let them.. only say no to late entrants if you’re running over time and the venue would threaten to shut you off at a particular time. - If you have only two loopers, tag-teams or crews for battles at your event, think about doing a 3 round final
- don't start you event with a battle, start with eliminations or a showcase set. This is because the soundtech may still be getting the sound right. When they did a soundcheck earlier, the room would of been nearly empty, and now you have loads of bodies absorbing the sound, slight adjustments will be needed from those first couple of eliminations
- If a Beatbox legend is attending your event, maybe ask them to hold a workshop masterclass in a rehearsal space nearby
- Get competitors e-mail address to send all the event to, not in a Instagram post. Having their e-mail address allowed you to send an e-mail and cc everyone in about information for the next event. Facebook and Instagram may not be around in 10 years time but e-mail will always be around. Imagine organising an event 20 years ago and only building up your competitors contact list using Myspace.
- check around the stage after the event to check if loopers haven't left anything, same at the afterparty
- Having at least 20 in the eliminations for the Main Solos tend to work best instead of having the top 16 wildcard videos qualify straight into the battles on the day. This is because out of those 16 you tend to get 1 or 2 that are now unable to make the event at short notice and having to rely on the 17th, 18th or 19th ranked wildcard person to jump in. It's nice to attend an event knowing you're definitely going to have at least one battle but some things are out of our control like illness, cancelled flights, family problems etc.. and it can be stressful and time consuming on the day to find a replacement. This also inspires people to make their most fire elim as possible to almost guarantee they pass.

- Running order is best spread out to have the finals of each category at the end. Some battles get the Under 18's out the way first which i'm not too keen on. They need to have the same hype leading up towards the final.
- Under 18’s eliminations
- 15 min interval - judges pick top 8/16
- Main solos eliminations
- judges pick top 16
- Tag team eliminations
- Under 18’s Quarter Final
- Main Solos Round of 16
- Under 18’s Semi Final
- 1 hour food interval
- Main Solos Quarter Final (get loopers ready)
- Loop station Semi Final
- Tag team Semi Final
- Main Solos Semi Final
- Under 18’s Final
- INTERVAL - judges figure out winner, set up and check mics for Tag Team Final
- Tag team Final (get loopers ready)
- Loop Station Final (clear stage test solo mic/s)
- Main Solos FInal
- sort out plaques/certificates
- Announce Winners (Good time for a judges loop showcase to set up)
- Event Finished with instructions on afterparty if not already provided in the e-mail you send out prior to the event (GUEST LIST ONLY - after party is best for competitors and friends and family only, no new public invites on the day.. this can prevent any potential troublesome people, overly drunk people throwing up leaving you liable to clean up and thieves eyes up your bags/ equipment)

If holding an open eliminations battles you have to expect little incidences that annoy you. A private invite only battles you can wean out the bad apples.

Safeguarding:
If you see any creepy, weird behaviour that's making someone feel uncomfortable, please report to either the host, event holder, bartender, security door person. Seeing a drunk obnoxious person who can't take no for an answer/ can't take a hint that they're not interested is never nice to see at any event and should be dealt with accordingly.
Don't leave your drink unattended, as much as you're surrounded by your Beatbox family, spiking is still possible.

After Party:
Try to book a place nearby that has a PA so you can carry on jamming afterwards and order food to. After the event, people are still on a high and want to jam and chat with their friends they may not have had a chance to chat with during the event.
Nobody wants to go back to their hotels straight after.

There's more i can go into but i'll leave it at that, if you have any questions in regards to holding Beatbox events please drop them below in the comments but i'm no expert.
I just took the initiative to hold events because it felt very needed a decade ago and have just kept it up because it's been great to get people together. I've never really cared who won the battles even if they’re representing my country. It hasn't been a run for profit business for me, it's been very grass-roots up until now but I am tempted to take it to the next level.

Hope that wasn't too much of a boring read.. haha.. Peace!

New Beatboxer...Not sure how this guy is getting these tones

Hi everyone! First time Reddit poster and novice beatboxer here!

I thought this would be the best place to ask this potentially silly question.

I've been a beatboxer for just over a few weeks. Taking 1:1 lessons and getting the basics down. Also been messing around on my own and doing Youtube tutorials.

I bought the below course on Udemy, and I honestly have no idea how this guy produces his sound. I do know that the kick drum is usually produced with a B or a P sound, but this tutorial suggests (or seems to suggest) a D tone with the tongue curved back.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd love for someone to take a look at this tutorial and explain to me what this sorcery is lol. I really do like his tones, and I can't find much about him on Youtube. Only thing i have is this Udemy course. His snare is really good too! Seems to be a D sound with the tongue curved back and adding the f sound similar to the PF snare?

You don't have to buy the course, the entire sound creation technique video is free to watch as a course preview :)

So sorry for the long post!

Just really like this guy's tone and can't seem to get it after watching the video, seem much different than anything I've heard.

AMERICAN CHAMPS BOTH DAYS SUMMARY

Heads up, I wasn't able to watch all of both days, as I was sleeping through some of it. I wasn't able to watch solo elims, tag team top 8 battles, all loop battles expect for most of mr esuoh vs jsanch and some of zvd vs kuulest.

Ok now for the summary

Day 1:

!I woke up and I checked discord as I usually do and I saw the american champs stream up and I was like shit! I forgot! So I quickly clicked on it and luckily I was in time to watch 7 full top 16 battles, I joined during kuulest's 2nd round, and I got to see ZVD's full 2nd round. I didnt even see kuulest's 2nd round in full so I didnt make a judgement even on who took the 2nd round. ZVD took the battle 3-0, not to my surprise because he's ZVD. The first full battle I could watch was Doobsama vs Kingdom, I thought Kingdom would take it but unfortunately he had some timing issues and made the poor choice of doing double voice in his 1st round(against Doobsama, who is a double voice god). Doobsama got the hard counter in r1 and overrall he was a lot cleaner in his round so he took round 1, round 2 Kingdom tried to counter but failed miserably and unfortunately he had timing issues in this round as well, Doobsama had another solid round, and took the battle 3-0. One thing I will note tho is that no offense to Doobsama but he had like no stage presence, he was staying basically completely still during his rounds and I did think Kingdom had the upper hand in terms of stage presence. Anyway, these 2 guys are very underrated and I'm glad that they we will getting more mainstream attention because they are now top 8 and top 16 in america. Also, Kingdom didnt put on his best performance this time in the battle, but he got 9th in the eliminations, and he's overrall a beast, watch out for the guy. Anyway, the next battle was Conundrum vs Coldness and both were sick but Conundrum dominated, doing his best battle performance and overrall performance ever imo, he absolutely popped off, he was making some crazy ass sounds. He ended up winning 3-0. Bloomer vs Plant was the first of two battles to go to overtime, and infact the two battles that went to overtime were both in the Top 16 and only had a one battle break. Plant had the better structure, Bloomer's structure lacked alot in the first round and Plant's structure was amazing, but the drops in Plant's routines were lacking imo and not worth the longer buildups and Bloomer battled more and his second round was really sick, so I thought he won it, but it went to OT. It was a complete split decision for the judges, one for Plant, one for OT, one for Bloomer. In the OT Bloomer wasted alot of his short time and Plant did alot more during his OT so I thought he won the OT, he did, he ended up taking it 3-0. Bizkit vs Brody was close but Bizkit had an amazing second round and ended up taking it 3-0. Shield vs Jaylip was the second and last battle of the event to go to OT. From a livestream perspective Jaylip clearly won the original battle, but Shield was getting more reaction from the crowd despite sounding alot quieter on the livestream. It was also a complete split decision, one for Shield, one for OT, one for Jaylip. Shield definitely won the OT tho, he was louder than he was in the original battle and it felt like Jaylip was holding back. He ended up taking the OT 3-0. Match vs Freakquency was the only decision I disagreed with in the Top 16, well I did vote for Bloomer in Bloomer vs Plant and Jaylip in Jaylip vs Shield but those went to OT and not to the opposite person. Freakquency did get a bit repetitive by the second round but his inward bass just hit like a TRUCK and Match was quieter and just hit less imo, if he didnt make a few mistakes in his second round tho, it wouldve been OT for me. I though Freakquency was gonna win like 2-1 or something, Match ended up taking it 3-0, which surprised me, but hey, I wasnt there live. The last and best battle of the Top 16 was Miso vs Vocodah, me and everyone else in the youtube chat thought it was gonna be a destruction of Miso but Miso brang it, Vocodah was obviously alot better but Miso did give it his all and it was a great battle. I still thought it was gonna be 3-0 Vocodah, but it ended up being a 2-1 to Vocodah. Apparently Vocodah had some timing mistakes that I didn't notice, but anyway, Vocodah still won, and I'm not unhappy that MIso got a vote, he killed it.!<

Day 2:

!I woke up, saw it was 9:00 am, and was like "I'll go back sleep event starts in half an hour", my stupid ass ended up sleeping until like 10:30 when I woke up again and then I was like "SHIT", opened my laptop, and joined during JSanch's first round in the final. I was very happy to see him there because he's from a small server that I constantly talk in, Newfie's Server, and to see him in the final of american champs was very exciting. I didnt see JSanch's full first round or Esuoh's first round at all but I saw both their second rounds in full and JSanch def won the second round imo. He ended up winning the champs and I was SO happy when that happened. It was his first live event too I believe. Now the tag team semi finals, Forest Fire vs equillibrium, Forest Fire just battled more and although I thought equillibrium took the 2nd round I still thought Forest Fire won overrall, in which they did, 2-1. Mouthguard vs Lotus was a sick battle but I thought Mouthguard took it, they were more technical and complex, Lotus was louder tho and I guess Mouthguard were alot quieter live because Lotus took it 3-0. In the small finals I thought Mouthguard was a bit messy and thought equillibrium took it, most people gave it to Mouthguard tho and they ended up taking it. In the finals, Forest Fire vs Lotus, I thought Lotus destroyed them r1 and also took r2, although Forest Fire's r2 was sick. I thought Lotus clearly won, in which they didnt, much to my surprise. I am happy for Forest Fire tho as they were emotional and clearly wanted it alot. Now to Top 8 solos. First battle was ZVD vs Doobsama in which I thought ZVD was gonna clear, in which he did in the second round but the first round was tied for me, Doobsama was very sick in the first round although he was a bit repetitive at this stage of the comp and ZVD used one of his weaker routines in the first round. But yeah ZVD clearly won overrall for me and he did taking it 3-0. Next was Conundrum vs Plant which was very close, I personally thought it was an OT. Conundrum made a few mistakes but was a lot more impressive than Plant, but Plant also had a sick second round. Conundrum ended up taking it 2-1. The third quarterfinal was Bizkit vs Shield, Bizkit and Shield were on an equal level on the first round except Bizkit was just louder, Bizkit was equally as consistent in the 2nd round while Shield was worse than his first round. Bizkit would have won anyway even if they were equal again besides loudness, because the loudness would be the deciding factor. Shield was louder than his battle vs Jaylip tho, much louder. Bizkit ended up taking it 3-0. Match vs Vocodah was VERY close, I thought Vocodah was gonna clear, he took the first round for me, but his second round was lackluster and Match had a very good second round. I almost voted OT but since Match was just slightly more consistent I gave it to Match. Match did end up winning, surprisingly it was 3-0 tho. First semi final was Conundrum vs ZVD, first round was tied for me, Conundrum had great power and energy as always and ZVD did Horizons but he made a few mistakes and it wasnt executed the best. ZVD definitely won the 2nd round tho, he did full automatic(his house routine from fbb vs bookie blanco), and Conundrum was getting repetitive by this stage. ZVD clearly won overrall for me and he did, taking it 3-0. Next was Bizkit vs Match which is the only battle that I'd say was a destruction in this comp. No hate to Match but Bizkit was just miles better in this battle, especially the 2nd round. Bizkit took it 3-0. Now for the small final, Match vs Conundrum. I thought Conundrum took it despite Match obviously having the better structure, Conundrum was louder and battled better. Match ended up taking it. Now for the finals, ZVD vs Bizkit. I thought the first rounds were equal, ZVD did Pressure, which features alot of double voice, which was getting repetitive by this stage, but he made no mistakes. Bizkit did his GNB wildcard and made a few mistakes, also just the fact that quite a bit of the round was slow as well tied it up for me, once it got going tho the round definitely felt better than ZVD's. But it was a tie for me. 2nd Round ZVD did his dnb round that he did against bookie blanco in fbb and he made a few mistakes and it just wasnt executed the best. Bizkit's 2nd round he didnt make any noticeable mistakes but he didnt get as good of a crowd reaction and he didnt execute his rounds perfectly either, but from a livestream perspective, he won the 2nd round. So I thought Bizkit won overrall. ZVD ended up taking it, and although I voted differently, I'm very happy for him and he deserves it after being robbed so many times(florida, haten). Bizkit should be proud of his performance too. He's really made a name for himself as a solo beatboxer now, with his amazing performance throughout the battles as well as coming 2nd for elims.!<

!Overrall, amazing champs from what I've seen, I'll watch the rest later, HUGE improvement from 2022. Amazing event.!<

Also sorry for yapping so much, I can just go off on tangeants sometimes.

What is this sound?

Does anyone know what sound Remix uses at 2:20 with the liprolls? It sounds like a type of Meow Squeak, but i have no clue how it's done
