    This Sidechain HACK Will FIX your Mixes!

    @Iron Keys I think you nailed it wrt not understanding how a compressor works. To be honest, I still think it’s some sound wave wizardry, but when it was explained to me, and I started thinking about it, as a “shaping” tool; it made way more sense in terms of application. Before I just...

    Showcase SHOWCASE: April 27 - May 4, 2025

    Every now and again I'll mine through my old beats and half baked projects to find an idea that can be developed further. Sometimes I'll find little melodies or chord progressions that I can either sample or re-create. It's also great for re-discovering VST patches and FX chains. These three...

    Warzone Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Appreciate the feedback @Mike Chief I knew it was a bit overkill, and probably not to the tastes of many. I agree, I did try a bit too much. I started with the drumline style drums, and well, I got carried away lol.

    Calling all the veterans

    Great tip! I remember, when I first started making beats, really abusing reverbs on my tracks to get a specific result which ended up ruining the track as a whole. It's an easy way to extend tails/decay on samples that may be a bit too choppy or not quite fit perfectly with the project tempo or...

    Calling all the veterans

    Yo, I'd totally be down for a one off "group" battle. Vets or "Ill OGs" vs "Rookies." Maybe have the community vote on who represents the "Rookies." 5 beats each, blind, like the old Beat Fights in a YT vid. I remember KOTD did something like that a few years ago with Vets vs. Proving Grounds...

    Thanks for spinning gold out of what I thought was a dead sample. It's really cool to see other people put their unique creative process on your own music.

    FLIP IT! The Fog OST - "Tommy Tells of Ghost Ships"

    Every few months or so I get the itch to revisit Cubase. I absolutely loved in back in the day. I did all my sample stretching/chopping in Acid Pro then moved over to Cubase. Back then I wasn't really using it to it's full potential (I was 14 lol). Everybody I knew was mostly on Fruity Loops, so...

    Warzone Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    @2GooD Productions I'd be down. I have a few orchestral loops that I've built out. Maybe I can send you some stems and have you work your magic on them.
