Is this an accurate LUFS cheat sheet when mastering?
appreciate the convo, great insight. -
Is this an accurate LUFS cheat sheet when mastering?
I thought some + true peak was common but I could be wrong. -
At what point does sampling feel like stealing ?
I actually like sampling new music. The way I look it at, when hip-hop was founded, they were often sampling soul and funk records that weren't that old at the time. So I just tell myself I'm paying to homage to classic hip-hop whenever I use a more modern sample. I've flipped a few new soul/R&B... -
Is this an accurate LUFS cheat sheet when mastering?
I know every song will be different. But I came across this online, though it wasn't genre specific. Bass seems a little low for modern hip-hop but wanted to share and also see if anyone has any other LUFS reference they use. Been trying to focus a bit more on LUFS vs. DB readings lately since... -
I killed my Tinder date...
Thanks dude, I got some similar feedback on Reddit too so I just took it down to rework (or just to apply to the next one). I think I tried to make the OG bass into something it wasn't and I probably should have tried to recreate. Thanks for the feedback (this is what's awesome about posting... -

Is this a rappable beat? Gorillaz x Kid Cudi?
Thanks for the love my man. Drums are from this: https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/drums (completely free too, which is crazy for the quality), so that was just me smashing on the keys and then cleaning up in the DAW. Appreciate the call out on my Verse 2 experiment (the almost belonging in... -
Is this a rappable beat? Gorillaz x Kid Cudi?
Let's call this a psychedelic alternative hip-hop hop beat. How would you describe? Anyways, this is a style I naturally gravitate to... abstract sample, lots of grit and distortion, hip-hop drum pattern but with heavy rock influence, and even some pop/R&B influence on the song arrangement... -
Sampling is fucking hard
I need to mess with Serato or RX. I keep reading comments like this while I keep OG chopping and EQ'ing. -
Xzibit - Concentrate (remix)
Really cool man. It has like an Eastern European vibe which is hella unique. What's that faster/high pitch instrument called? The strings panned to the left are fire! My only $0.02 is that the bass gets a bit repetitive when head nodding but dope overall. Really clean sounding too. Great work here. -
I was feeling a bit depressed...
Thank you man. This was one where I just felt like putting aside all of the fancy plugins, stick with proven sounds, and focus on emotion/storytelling. Happy to hear it's being received that way. & dude Paparazzi is one of my fav beats so that's dope. Thanks for listening. -
I was feeling a bit depressed...
And this is what I cooked up when I had time to zone out: Welcome any and all feedback. Really tried to get the mix sounding clean while making it extra DUSTY. -
Fatality FIGHT! Battle #244
This was the first trap-style beat I ever tried making. Was just a couple weeks ago and feel I've already learned a ton from these forums (i.e. I didn't know what sidechaining was when I made this).- Dusty B

I somehow miss this. haha AWESOME! You have a really unique voice/accent. Where are you from btw? -
Dj Shadow/Run the jewels - Nobody speak (Jane Bjork Jensen remix)
This is cool, def a style that's right up my ally. Some of the guitar hits sounded off to me. I think still on beat just threw off my head nodding. Might just be my hyper-whiteness though. Cool track. Great work! -
Sticky Show Your Setup!
ooof. But in all seriousness, this is a great point. "Don't let perfection get in the way of progress." -
