    Wreckx-n-Effect - Rump Shaker (VVS Remix)

    Thank you! I get lazy sometimes and just quantize the drums with 10% ish groove. Appreciate the feedback!

    Just trying to get feedback. New to the site

    Arrangement is nice Synths sound cheap Your mixing needs work specially with the snare and low end I like the voice ad libs/hook With a little polish, upgrading your sounds to higher quality versions and a decent mastering chain and I'd say this is a solid beat

    Wreckx-n-Effect - Rump Shaker (VVS Remix)

    The original sample didn't do my drum pattern justice!

    One shots. I might use a percussion loop here and there.

    Belly of the Beast - I need a critic plz

    If the snare is not cutting through the mix, you have overlapping frequencies. Try using a different kick or switching up the bass. Don't be afraid to use compression to glue your mix together.

    Beat This! Competition - December 27-28, 2023

    Found a hidden gem sample pack for boom bap beats. Also consolidated my Master Bus chain down to 3 plugins. Got tired of being overly analytical when mixing versus having fun and producing.

    IRON TIP - Mixing: it's all volume

    Understanding why you need to apply compression is more important than knowing what compression is (whether it's an analog/optical or multi-band) compressor. Once you're able to create a great sounding mix with just volume control and eq, move onto compression and then dig into more advanced...

    Once Again I Have To Reiterate The Importance Of Regular Backups

    You know the old saying..."Never put all your eggs into one basket"? I keep my beats stored in the cloud and locally on my hard drive. Dropbox, Google Drive, even GitHub for my fellow software devs gets the job done.

    FREE PLUGIN - NI Glaze

    What's up with all these free vocal plugins? First Waves Silk Vocal and now NI with "glaze". My conspiracy theory is that they are going to train AI models using your data. Brilliant!

    Testing new ssl emulation... I need your ears please!

    Your mastering skills are not bad. I ran your mix through my "secret sauce" plugin and noticed a few issues in the low end, specifically with the kick drum. I don't like to give tips unless asked for but I'm more than willing to give you some advice if you so desire via direct message. Cleaned...

    Testing new ssl emulation... I need your ears please!

    It's not the plugin that makes the difference, it's the microphone you use and audio interface you have the mic plugged into. Cheapter interface = cheaper sounding mic.

    Warzone Beat Battle - December 8-9, 2023

    @Dr Sweetch gotta work on your mixing and drum kit selection my boi. You had the better melody/concept but the kick and snare wasn't hitting for the type of vibe you where going for. @guitardep congrats...beat was way too mellow for a battle (in my opinion). The rolling trap hi-hats saved you lol.

    I think I’m gonna ditch my mpc 2500 for Koala

    I'm not really missing much from tinkering with physical buttons. I barely touch the knobs on my MPK Mini. Once you're comfortable enough with your workflow, why bother switching things up just for the sake of trying something new? If it works it works. Also want to point out that I want this...
