    Once Again I Have To Reiterate The Importance Of Regular Backups

    Yes, it may not be perfect. But the information being stored isn't really valuable (I mean its our project files, but it has no real inherent value to anyone but ourselves), and it's unlikely Google Drive goes down (and if it does, we still have the original on our computers as this is just a...

    FREE PLUGIN - from WAVES

    It ended up being pretty cool. But I think their free plugins are just a way to force you to update everything haha

    Once Again I Have To Reiterate The Importance Of Regular Backups

    A cool trick is using a Google Drive folder on your computer that you save all the music to. That way all your project files are backed up to the cloud in real time without having to worry ever.

    Is my name cool?

    The name is cool and works for a lot of genres. The question is whether or not it has good SEO and if people can find you when they type Dusty B. This is where you will run into trouble - anyone who searches Dusty B will have a hard time finding you due to the common usage of the word "Dusty"...

    Stop using reverb on your snare.

    Agreed on the kick thing, should have clarified that (my kick is usually processed with the bass, separate from the rest of the drums and combined afterwards in a bus). I don't really like reverb on the kick either.

    Stop using reverb on your snare.

    Delay can work, but I think verb on the whole drum bus is important to have the drums all sound like they're coming from the same space. This would include the snare. Just use a send and don't over do it. Experiment with the reverb being mono vs stereo to find what works best for your song.

    Question for trap producers... how to get 808s consistent across various sound systems?

    Lots of great comments already. You need more harmonics (with distortion), or better yet, swap out for a juicier sample. The better the starting sample, the better the end results. When mixing, every so often, disconnect from your studio speakers and produce on your computer's built in...

    Bass

    I like to create analog bass or find juicy analog one shots (or loops to chop up). Diva is really great for huge bass, but the built in synth from any DAW should have a lot of great options.
