Music video shot on iPhone
Good work. It sounds pretty clean, though I think the main kick could use some fine-tuning. But I like the beat and the panning of the main instruments. I wasn't a fan of the video. My opinion: it could have worked better if it was more simple, i.e. just the camera on you, maybe with some B&W... -

Work in progress melody (piano, strings, synth). Thoughts on drums?
Still need to figure out an intro too. -
Work in progress melody (piano, strings, synth). Thoughts on drums?
Hi Folks - what do you think of this? This is a melody I've been working on. I took a different approach on this one and reversed my workflow (focused on completing the melody first before messing with drums). But now I'm not sure what kind of drums to put on top of it. If anyone is interested... -
Playing with various FXs - Comfortably Numb Flip
Cheers man, gonna have to revisit this sample again. I was struggling to get everything to sync, eventually started to feel like too much of a grind so I had to just pause. But after relistening with fresh ears, I'll have to put it on the agenda to try again in the future. Happy to hear you... -
Playing with various FXs - Comfortably Numb Flip
Just a loop as I ran out of steam on this one, but mostly an experimental track. -

[new song] joethegr8* - back down
Very cool. Has a nice flow to it, I like the vibe. I like the distortion and abstract/low-fi feel. I'm just getting back into beatmaking after a 10 year hiatus, need to get a SoundCloud up and running, but would definitely be interested in collaborating when we can. -

Alright, I got something. Wrapping up mixing and final touches. Took me a bit to get it going, but I think I have something. Now just need to make sure I remember to upload on sign up day :)- Dusty B

Fatality FIGHT! Battle #226
Beat #1 - Wish the piano was louder. Great vocal sample. Love the drums. Beat #2 - Cool Heatmakerz vibe. Hats are cool. Was expecting the drums to drop sooner, but then I realized the kick is actually mixed in very low.- Dusty B

How often do you make beats and how long does it take you?
Excellent post, thank you. Great quotes! -
How often do you make beats and how long does it take you?
That's the one I have actually. When I ordered, the white one was actually $20 cheaper from a 3rd party, so for $70 I really can't complain since it has everything I need. I may have to also get a standalone keyboard to practice with though too. -
How often do you make beats and how long does it take you?
Akai MPK Mini. It's cool so far. Keys feel kinda cheap and they are smaller than I realized. But a few pads, keys and knobs is all I use right now. -
How often do you make beats and how long does it take you?
That makes sense. I'm still in the honeymoon phase of relearning and playing with my new controller and headphones. -
How often do you make beats and how long does it take you?
I'm getting back into it after a 10 year hiatus. Over the past couple weeks, I've been spending a few hours in my office after the kids are sleeping, and then wrapping up mixing and fine-tuning the next day in between the work day. Right now I'm at like ~0.5-1 beat/day and probably ~6 hours... -
Mini controller
I just bought the Akai MPK mini. Keys are a bit small for my liking, but overall it seems pretty good. I ordered from Amazon for $70, the white model was $20 cheaper than the red and black models for whatever reason. -
Fuck AI
I have a different opinion on this. I've been using ChatGPT at work since its release, and I have the premium version to access the GPT-4 model. In my experience, while AI excels at generating run of the mill content, it falls short in producing truly innovative ideas, which still requires human...- Dusty B

What Do You Want From Me - Instrumental w/hook
p.s. any tips on your mastering approach? I like how loud it is (yet still clean). Gotta play the loudness war to stay competitive :p
