Anyone want anything from Tracklib?
I'm throwing in the towel with music making for the moment. Lack of time is really messing with motivation when I finally do get some, so I thought it best to leave it for now. So yea, I have a full month of Tracklib credit (which I've paid £25 for) and they can just remove them because I've... -
Beat This! Competition - February 5-6, 2025
Congrats @Earsblower eloquently produced as always dude. Here to shout out some folks who haven't had a mention (or deserve more credit!)... @DJ Excellence Love this. Pete Rock vibes dude. Super dope! Really well put together. These type of beats rarely win on iLL though. @K-waz Nice! Feels...- hosie

Beat This! Competition - January 8-9, 2025
I mean @Iron Keys gives great in-depth mix reviews but does he drop phrases like "toughcock riff" or offer up onomatopoeic descriptions to emphasise a bassline? Badoom tssh! I can feel your rage every Beat This! when you don't get the votes. Don't sweat the small stuff. Your beats and mixes...- hosie

Beat This! Competition - January 8-9, 2025
Congrats on the win @S.o.T.A. I think I can spot @Iron Keys these days. Another dope beat and one of my personal favourites. I thought @Earsblower @Leopard Cohen deserved to be in contention. @Jimothy Swingo can tell you have got rhythm but your beat was lacking in the dynamics and effects...- hosie

Congrats to my dude @K-waz dope beat and managed the jingle whilst keeping it hip hop too. @Dusty B don't be so hard on yourself dude. Beat was nice! @Iron Keys Thanks dude. Appreciate it. I has a message in response to your first post but didn't get time to post it. I too had trouble with the...- hosie

Workflow (some setup, gear, subscriptions etc)
Been adding to this post for a while now and have decided just to make it live as otherwise I might not ever get round to it. So it's a work in progress. So new room, new setup. With work and general life stuff I have very little time to really do music these days. Tends to be in the wee small... -

Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024
Okay, so now I'm going to end up with 3 sets of headphones. Slate look great. I'm guessing software is similar to Abbey Road Studio NX? Which I think is great in theory but ends up messing with your head and how you mix or reference mixes.- hosie

Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024
Ah, come on....we are all friends here. We hope the best beat wins! Just keep doing you and try not to bash other folks beats! we're all in the same boat. Some new, some old, some trying to improve, sold very old and stuck in their ways (*cough*). Got Bayerdynamic DT 990 Pro's...- hosie

Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024
@Earsblower I proper lolled at that comment. @Iron Keys Good to test your instincts sometimes. I think you've set a benchmark for yourself and feel more pressure than most when submitting. Pretty sure this is my first Warzone. First mix in my new headphones and Jesus. The difference is night...- hosie

Ooft. Voted listening on my phone. Now listening properly in my headphones. That mix from @Iron Keys is absolutely ridiculous. Going to use that as a reference track it's that good. Beat was dope too! My other favourites were HeadchangeHQ & @V.J. Retro Also @2GooD Productions where you at!?!?- hosie

Isn't EMERGENCY one of your aliases? More like ARMANGENCY. Someone better call 999 and request the fire brigade cause I'm bout to make some fire. Seriously though, someone better call 999 and ask if they can send out a theme suggestion ASAP. PS. Apologies, I actually like this theme...- hosie

Loved the insight video @Armani . I believe this is how most folk would vote due to busy schedules. I'd also like to see your live vote @Iron Keys . I don't vote unless I can listen to all of the beats in the timeframe and some weeks I can't due to the sheer number of entries. Once I've...- hosie

Congrats @Declik Started working on something but scrapped it... Changed my vote a few times. I think alot of the beats ended up sounding like actual country songs opposed to hip hop beats and a few others had too little a reference to country. However I thought there was 3 maybe 4 that...- hosie

AKG K553 MKII
I've got monitors but just never get to use them as the kids are generally sleeping when I'm making music so headphones is all I can manage. I tend to check my mixes in my car and then in my van. My vans music system is like 2 tin cans only worse so if it's thin your beat sounds like you've made... -
AKG K553 MKII
Nice review! Going to have a look at these. Although a lack of bass response I'd say is a bit of a red flag when making hip hop beats. I've also got the 7506's at the moment. Think it was actually off of a @Fade recommendation? Can't quite remember. I've actually been searching for new... -

Hey JAHVILE - ALL CAPS, yea? It's not the equipment you have that it's important. It's the equipment you're going to waste all your money on for the next few decades that's really important. Just so you know you will never be happy making beats. You may have fleeting moments of happiness or...- hosie
