    Your current workflow go-to's

    MOST of the processing gets done on the sub busses, especially the tape hiss. It can be a bit too overpowering on the master. I also know fuck all about mixing/mastering so I just find what seems to work lol

    Your current workflow go-to's

    @Iron Keys For context: I typically have: Drum Bus Chops Bus (if sampling) NYC (which I don’t use as much lately) Sidechain (this is VERY subtle) On the Master, I like using mid side EQ before the glue comp. my mono channels are typically bass, kick and snare. I’ll cut anything that isn’t...

    Can I just upload one 16 minute magnum opus? The Chinese Democracy of beats

    Your current workflow go-to's

    I mostly used stock logic plug-ins and a few FX from Maschine. Usually starting with drums in Maschine, the stock filter is one of the first things I reach for. The filters are really just shaping tools, or to get an idea of how that particular drum sample will sound with EQ. I like layering...

    I was debating whether to recycle some beats, but I feel like that’s poor form. Who knows. Either some divine inspiration hits tonight or I cheap out and recycle lol

    @DJ Excellence - very well deserved win with this! Smooth, silky, and still has a nice energy. Bass line is simple but effective. I don't really have any feedback other than "really fucking dope." Great sample choice...I would've gone wayyy off the deep end with this sample but you had tasteful...

    SHOWCASE: August 24-31, 2025

    @Tiny Chops I love the drums on this! The “Dilla” feel and that natural “push-n-pull” is really well done. Letting them drop out to let the sample shine then bring them back in was also a nice touch. There’s also a crunchy sound to them that serves the whole beat really well - I appreciate that...

    Off Topic Trends Don't Lie, Hip Hop Is Dead

    This is sad to hear. My high school had a “midi studio” in the back of of our music room. Our music teacher was a big advocate for learning how to program midi and recording our own compositions. I remember making simple beats in Cubase VST 32. When he found out I was making beats he’d let us...
