    Beat This! Competition - April 5-6, 2023

    I think the opposite. I think it's probably the easier route. It's a route I initially considered for it. 130 - 140 is typical trap/drill tempos, seeing as it's halftime that's 65-70bpm. That's pretty fucking slow. Drop down to 126 for some real slow vibes.

    For context... I woke up this morning to listen to a beat I was making last night, and accidentally made a new beat; it's really good and only took 30mins. I got a lot of stuff going on in life right now, lot of admin and lot of stresses that can/do get in the way of making music. But music got...

    But you're still here talking about it. There's so much focus on everything but actually making music.

    The reason I take the dissonant route, is because you could play a note not in the chord (for example), but it happens to be the 7th, or 9th of the chord, so harmonically still sounds 'right.' The 'wrong' notes stick out a lot easier, and there are fewer of them. So for me, it's a quicker process.

    Pitch tuning of Kick,snare,hh,crash...

    Every time I pitch down the kick it always sounds better. Beefier, bassier.

    Pitch tuning of Kick,snare,hh,crash...

    Actually... I can't remember who it was, but an engineer I was shadowing or working for said that they had gone out to tune a bands drum kit between songs or something. I can't remember th3 details as this was told to me like 10 years ago. But I'm sure they told me that happened. Unless they...

    Pitch tuning of Kick,snare,hh,crash...

    The thing I hate about trying to pitch drums... is finding the pitch. I find it tricky to discern drum pitch by ear. And pitch detection software often equally has a tricky time. One trick I use if I cbb... is the stretchhh the sample out then use pitch detection. I think largely I'm...

    Pitch tuning of Kick,snare,hh,crash...

    I tell you what I hate... I change the pitch of a hat. It immediately sounds weird. I then change it back. It sounds weird also. And never sounds right again! o_O

    Yeah I hate when people do this... it could; - encourage others to vote for it Or - encourage others NOT to vote for it Tho o think saying "haha someone uploaded a house beat" is always fair game.

    I'm starting this thread with the hopes of finding some structure, a plan, and some accountability to help me move forward with my music life. Gonna seek some ideas and suggestions first. My aims - actually start putting records out. Releasing actual tracks. Get a publishing/whatever deal (if...

    Mixing rates?

    same. Wanna be doing mixing as a consistent side hustle at the least. Need to put out music too. Not really been making anything tho. I think I need a change of approach to inspire creation.
