    Nice streak, @DEEZ BEATZ! The last time I saw such success over here was before I even joined, keep it going with the fine beats.

    Mono vs Stereo "lead" sounds?

    Panning hard left and right is often annoying, especially with loud sections. It used to be commonplace when stereo records first came out. In the end it's just a matter of preference - it can be good to slightly pan some instruments on one side and compensate on the other.

    Hello from France

    You'll get our opinion on the weekly showcase thread. It's best to post on Mondays - as early as possible to get the most plays and opinions possible.

    Soundcloud messing the audio quality

    Anyone who doesn't understand the efficiency of the Opus codec should definitely try encoding some 64 and 96 kb/s files for themselves and listen carefully. The idea is excellent because it brings the same quality, but requires less data, so people with either slow connections or low data caps...

    Ask when the names get revealed. All the numbers are random.

    @Kron Zilla Yes, they are, it got full more than two hours ago.

    Al Stewart - "Year Of The Cat"

    @Fade The Hexotic YouTube Downloader is a great front end for youtube-dl. It can be set to download only audio and doesn't freak out with copyright, aside from completely blocked or region-locked videos. @crog85 That definitely grew out of the lo-fi idea. Maybe get rid of that low pass filter...

    You Suck At Producing!

    That's Underbelly, I remember watching him years ago. The whole channel has some funny stuff, but the guy is seriously talented. It predates most of the other comedic music production YouTube channels like FrankJavCee and Imaginary Ambition.

    Franco Micalizzi - "Chi Sei?"

    @spectralight Starts out great, but the added layers after 0:20 are sadly off key. @Feel Dig the way the flexatone came out in that loop. @Edgar Superb atmosphere and muddy sound! The drums show a lot of contrast, but that doesn't detract from the experience.

    Vocal snippets/Samples.

    My trick is to find music videos with dialogue in them. Nowadays, it's a fairly common practice, but I managed to dig good stuff out of old ones as well. Some 80s and 90s rap videos often have pretty generic dialogue in the beginning, but that didn't stop me from swiping. Slowing down and...

    Opening and cleaning Maschine internals..

    Isopropyl alcohol is much better suited for cleaning electronics, but it's nice to see that denaturated also works.

    Net Neutrality in the US

    I don't think beat selling websites will be a large enough target to suffer from the loss of net neutrality early on. The sites that are offered with a greater connection speed or free data in some countries are mainly mass-accessed social media and services like Netflix, YouTube, Spotify and...

    PayDay records re-launches!

    Well, the only confirmed news is that they'll get new music out starting with the singles "Our Streets" by A$AP Ferg, "Chirpin'" by Pell (don't know who that is, but he'll also put an EP out afterwards, according to this source (the latter portion of the text is different from the Billboard...

    PayDay records re-launches!

    A lot of the early Payday albums were released on just one LP, so I expect them to push both double LP reissues and new material.

    Beat This! - October 25-26, 2017

    @DEEZ BEATZ Thanks lots for the compliments, but that's confidential. I do have some spooky interludes in my catalogue, though. However, I'm forming a release schedule of a couple of tracks I'm working on, it's an unauthorised blend tape and it's going to be on the sites in my signature, so you...

    Sony’s new licensing deal may change the way remixes are made

    This sounds like a nightmare of false alarms just waiting to happen. Can't say I feel too sorry for people who just copy entire loops, though.

    Another @S3oulC1ty banger I could recognise in less than 3 seconds after I hit play. Congrats!

    Whats slapping all New here

    @OGBama Fruity Loops first came out in '97 as a small step sequencer application. The standard at that time were trackers (Impulse Tracker, ScreamTracker etc.) which were used to make mod files (kinda like midi files, only with samples in them) popular with music creators using IBM compatible...

    Rarely does the official instrumental line up with the a cappella so nicely! The quality of the file is a bit shoddy, but it'll do. My point is that a lot of a cappella tracks don't actually have whole number BPM values, but this one is exactly 83, so you'd have to mess up really badly to make...

    Happy 44th Birthday Hip Hop

    There's some exclusive stuff in the crate. Most of the loops labelled as Google's own don't work on my PC.
