    I swear to God, Spotify...

    I'm actually going to write to Spotify and complain. how the fuck is this shit music number 1 and 3 in my personal playlist when I instructed spotify 5 times before to block that 'artist'?

    The reality of takes and comping

    I used alcohol to help my find my 'feel'. Or help me find how to find it. Or how to be aware of it.

    Me and Fade aren't a 'couple of guys', we are legends. We are Gods. Supreme Eternal Beings. Assholes. Amongst other things.

    Beat This! Competition - December 28-29, 2022

    This was one of my favorite 2 beats in the battle (excluding my own). I reaaally love the main hook bassline. It's so ideal to me in terms of vibes. It has a real 'feel' to it. I was just disappointed that it wasn't made the main and persisting melodic element throughout the beat. I could fuck...

    The reality of takes and comping

    the other thing i hate, is, i'll be playing the keys at a beautiful velocity, then suddenly on REC I'm like hitting them x2 hard or then so soft they don't register it's like -.- I've started opting to set up like a longer loop window, hit record and just play play play until I play something...

    The reality of takes and comping

    I often refer back to this story, but I was shadowing engineer at the studio, and this dad dropped his son and friends there to record their band. The engineer, whos is very gently spoken and polite told them that they should cancel the session and go home and practise to a metronome. He told...

    Beat This! Competition - December 28-29, 2022

    Some nice beats and nice ideas in there. Some could really do with a better mix. It's been a long process, but it starts to stand out to me now (even listening back to some of my mixes - particularly older ones), you can just hear oh this mix is out of control, or xyz is too loud, abc could...

    Well it happens to me when producing... I'll be playing some melody really cool really easy, hit record, fart through my fingers

    The reality of takes and comping

    yeah i often find, especially if you're not recording at a pro set up, that when i get different takes from an artist, they sound too different and unusable together --- both performancely and sonically. I also find it really shocking when a vocalist, particularly a rapper, comes to record and...

    Music & Marriage How do you manage?

    my first experience of it was a parody someone did of that moment, I thought it sounded extreme (and funny), then when I saw the original I was like "wait, it was hardly an exaggeration!" :LOL:

    Mad, I've watched vinyl being cut in a mastering studio. Pretty crazy, seems like some proper antiquated process and machinery. Heat levels and all sorts.

    The reality of takes and comping

    Punching in / out always terrifies me. Like the timing would have to be perfect too.

    I know Dr Dre apparently has people repeating individual words like 70 times until it's perfect

    Here's a (in a very loose sense of the word) pirate theme I'm working on. Looking for feedback.

    i would just keep that part that i mentioned as the main/whole type of song. Then I think it just needs some high frequency stuff, like hats or other kinda cymbals to fill it out. that and a vocal and it's probably done. at most some little cute melody or hook sound everyy now and then

    Dr. Dre - Gospel (with Eminem) - Remix by Memento Beats

    pretty cool stuff. I feel like on the boopy pluck sound, I would personally have a bit more verb on it, feel like it's not gluing with the rest of the mix how I'd like it to. rest of it is cool tho has a vibe. Good to see you making music, brother. <3

    I really loved the way it sounded before all the sounds came in. I like it in its percussive state, it was really strong. It felt like it was missing a little something, but that part was the strongest.

    If you're aiming to have a record that hits at it's absolute best. Don't be afraid to just chop the good parts, and good parts.

    I guess it's time to officially introduce myself...

    Niiice, nice.

    I guess it's time to officially introduce myself...

    y'know what's crazy, when I was reading his intro earlier, I was thinking 'well that's good, given Fade some instructions on how to pronounce it' however, if I hear you pronounce it as instructed and hadn't seen this, I'd have thought you fucked it. :LOL: Phenri looks like Henry to me...
