    Mix bus level for master

    My life changed when I started to use Izotope Ozone. Now, I only throw it on the stereo out and let the master assitant do his thing... It places the EQ cuts and peaks to make the final limiter transparent. Works like a charm. My playback system is useless for proper mastering tasks anyway...

    Beat This! - March 10-11, 2021

    I was keeping some beats for a full 3-4 minutes "no theme" Beat This, vocals allowed... And when I thought it wouldn't happen anytime soon, I just cut the shit out of 4 of my best beats to make the 1 minute mark for the coming Warzone... And now this... 'kay, I'm probably in. It's not like I'm...

    Reason plug ins

    I just recently upgraded to Reason 11... so I did not use it for about 9 months after using it exclusively for 15 years. I never knew you can unscrew the screws... what's the use?

    Reason plug ins

    Yes, basically the 808 bass sound is a sine wave with the tuning set to follow the opposite of an enveloppe follower in order to drop (very) fast on the attack... then compress/distort to taste. Thor will probably offer lots of options, but subtractor can probably work fine also...

    Reason plug ins

    I am not sure as to what you are looking for, as Reason now can take any vsti plugin so the options are infinite. For a boom bap head like me who's not used to 808's, I had 808 Warfare from Producer's Choice which had the benefit of being easy and fast to dial in... probably not "the best" per...

    Help A Sista Out

    Welcome onboard then ! I only know Izotope Iris 2 from the list. I didn't know it was a freeware, it can go pretty deep and the series of tutorials they made are very nicely put. It seems you have enough effects to start with, but not as many instruments as you might want... although I don't...

    The hell is wrong with Meek Mill?

    Is it a reference to Kobe's specialty, beef ?

    I Was in The Black Eyed Peas. Then I Quit. | 'Almost Famous' by Op-Docs

    Man takes a perfectly fine song, adds nothing to it, and still somehow manages to turn it into utter shit... I call it genius.

    Beat This! - February 10-11, 2021

    Hello there

    Welcome to the ILL! Your style sounds interesting. Lots of other guitarists/rockheads/beatmakers here... I'm not into the metal side of things but you're not alone. Don't worry about being ready for battle. As long as you are ready to (maybe) lose them and learn things along the way, you are...

    Beat This! - December 16-17, 2020

    Congrats @Primz your beat was real dope. You deserve the win. Shoutout to @Vossi Beats on my top list with @Daniyal Qazi... @Armani wtf?

    When to use techniques?

    @Armani, as mentioned before, experience is the key. I know you do lots of different genres and it's not often that we have a chance to practice mixing with separate tracks from professional recordings, so here 's a link to a competition to mix a track from a french rock band. The download...

    Beat This! - December 16-17, 2020

    The more you do what people expect from you, the more they expect it. You disappoint from the very start... Solid strategy to remain a free man. Constantly having to behave as expected is a dangerous prison. Midlife crisis is the name when you break out.

    Beat This! - December 16-17, 2020

    Truth is, in the real world if a rapper tries to decide if he wants your beat or not, he won't give your beat more than 20 seconds. It is an important part of beatmaking to catch somebody's attention as fast as possible. If you can't do that, you need to work on that. Then again, would I vote...
