    Warzone Beat Battle - November 11-12, 2022

    hahahaha them ones my bredrin used to hit me with some science article, and be like 'bro, what are your thoughts?' I'd be one sentence in and already had to study 5 different wikipedia articles about theories and concepts and then even research further into those things :confusedphones:

    This! Ha the one that used to get me is "it's subtle, but listen to the difference this makes..." NO MR YOUTUBE ENGINEER, I CANNOT FUCKING HEAR IT. Lately though, I've been able to hear that stuff. And it's crazy, because when you realise how subtle a lot of the stuff pro engineers do is, even...

    I think it's more the fact too that it can obstruct you from trusting yourself - at least certain things did for me. Like you might high shelf something by 12db and think 'no i go told no boost should be that much', or you might try boost the snap of your snare and only be boosting a certain...

    Yeah, so if you have 1 person saying your snare is loud, 1 saying it's fine, one saying it's quiet, you can ignore it. But, if like 5 people are saying 'yo your instruments are wayyy too quiet' then it's likely something to consider. But also, don't be afraid to stick to your gut. Especially on...

    I kinda question the use of these mixing diagrams, I feel they can largely do more harm than good; - either people are too new that they'll read the diagrams, and then just start boosting eq in every element it said to etc (which more than likely will just be detrimental) - or, people are too...

    Nice beat, is that a sample or something you played? that piano. I'd probably have that sample playing center though. It just makes me feel a little lopsided listening to it. I think it'd sit great in the center too. Got no real qualms about the mix tho, the track has a very oldschool...

    Beat is dope. Love it. Maybe only thing I'd change is the left panned sound that comes in, maybe i'd have it more central, or more like 'stereo'. Otherwise, dope beat. Would have got my vote if I got there!!! Good work, brother.

    Structure.

    For me, song by song. However, great observations - use this to inform your own arrangements and maybe sometimes copy an arrangement, see how it works see how it fits. Maybe you'll bring certain structures into your own stuff sometimes.

    Mix wise, balance is pretty fine. But there's clipping going on with the bass on the kick hits that is a bit too fuzzy for my liking. Typically, I'm a fan of much crisper claps/snares like you have, but where the rest of the record is very dark, maybe it would have paid to have a slightly...

    Re how much your beats should cost

    yeah, man. pretty much social media also drastically lowered my perception of the opposite sex too - dog ear selfies, all those filter selfies where they post it seriously thinking that they look like that and thinking people think they do too. all this shit where they just film themselves...

    Re how much your beats should cost

    This is the thing. Previous generation(s) have respect for the previous/founders. Grandmaster Flash, Premier, Pac, Biggie, whoever. Respect is there. Kids today, their mentality is very entitled, self absorbed, internet culture. You gotta consider these kids today, their role models/idols...
