    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    Thanks in advance @Iron Keys Here's the beat as submitted in most recent War Zone And here are the stems The SP404 doesn't really have the concept of tracks so I bounced the sequences of individual banks of sounds, which worked out to 4 "tracks". The final MP3 version was also run through...

    Voted - my fave didn't have the best production quality but was original.

    Assume they mean being shopped around to record labels

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    I'll take you up on this if the offer still stands @Iron Keys. Mixing is the part of beatmaking that I struggle with the most. Just have to figure out how to track out stems from my SP as I currently do all of my mixing (poorly) in that box. I know it's do-able, just haven't done it.

    Sticky Beat This! Theme Suggestions

    Make a beat featuring instruments that aren't typically in hiphop joints: harmonica theremin oboe whatever Or make a beat based on a random improv scene: A security guard feeling depressed while reading a newspaper in a tree A newlywed couple scared of dogs A tank driver offers advice

    How you guys are finding new music artists?

    UGHH . . . wow, they're still around hey? Will check out the other ones too, thx. For more underground stuff, I've been digging the per-city playlists on the Loop Sessions Discord. For more mainstream stuff, this site does the whole "if you like X, you might like Y" thing. For shit to sample...

    my first "beatmaking video"

  14. Leopard Cohen

    Illmuzik is keeping the internet alive.

    I can't stand what the internet has become, and it's by design. If you're interested in nerding out, and while you still can, search up the term 'enshittification' for info. Sadly, I think we're in the twilight of sites like this one. I'm glad I found it before the fascio-tech-bros replace their...

    my first "beatmaking video"

    Good on ya for putting yourself out there Dusty. I enjoyed the vid. It was engaging, funny, educational without being stuffy, etc. And the length was perfect, short and sweet without a bunch of filler. When you doing your first unboxing vid?

    Dear Ann Landers, I have concerns. If I make a trap song, will I end up like this? I hear that trap is a gateway genre to mumbling and becoming mentally retarded. --- Cinderella Hopeful

    How much mixing do "pro" producers do themselves?

    Which is exactly why I turn to beatmaking videos when I'm in a rut ;) 20 mins of watching someone else chop up samples and lay down a track, I'm like "where's my sampler?!?"

    Congrats @PhazeLark @Delta_Nine - you got my vote, that shit was funny

    So what’s the point anymore?

    My day job is in tech and I'm so sick of all the hype around AI . . . It's a tool. It can do some cool stuff, but it's not what people think it is. Everyone is focusing on generalized, end-to-end stuff - give it a prompt and get something back or get unsolicited content or design suggestions...

    When You're Not In The Beat-making Mood

    These are great tips, thanks @BiggChev ! Sounds like we have similar approaches - when I'm in a rut I'll just make drum loops or learn new production techniques or features of my tools. Maybe you've experienced the same thing, but some of my own tracks that I like most have been happy...
