The Importance of Drums
I think mine was around that too interestingly Ha sometimes I see my track hitting -8 with no issue and I'm like really? -7.5 oh you're still sounding fine? Okayyy. Tho you do worry somethings messed up you haven't noticed. Other tracks start whinging when you try push 'em past -10 -
This Sidechain HACK Will FIX your Mixes!
Bro I've long understood it, but simultaneously not understood it. And I think a large part of that is due to poorly worded explanations, oftentimes explanations that are simply wrong or inaccurate; and these would be widespread and repeated by pros across whatever medium you like. Often there... -

^remember, using this advice in reverse if you ever need to soften the attack or pluckiness. Sometimes we need to do the opposite. I go the other way, and even further now as encouraged by my mentor - go full blown with the effect. Make sure it has the emotion and feel. Then back it off to... -
This Sidechain HACK Will FIX your Mixes!
This is more an issue of people not understanding compression, and/or that if you have a squared off signal, it's sustain is often going to be above the threshold thus the compressor being constantly activated. Best thing is to understand using compressors to shape a signal. But overall, it's... -

Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
I remember going to a show n met him. First i was like, bro keeps playing bangers for like 5-10 seconds only, was dead, cause you wanna hear the fucking thing. But after a while it became a kind of vibe and rocking out to it. A precursor to adhd music im sure. The signs were there -
Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
For me the issue is always these people who boost the high end just this nasty slashy sloshy snares and hats shredding your fucking ear drums. People who boost high end are scum -
Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
mine wasn't too bad, but lately after everything i go to it steps up another level - even wore earplugs to the last 2 things. bit jarring now ngl. Also don't know if it's cause im listening in my vsx a lot --- i don't think i have them particularly loud or anything, but who knows. -
Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
What's that ya say? I couldn't hear ya my tinnitus is ringing along with the hum of my dialysis machine. Speak up for Christ's sake -
Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
Hopefully mumble rap and the like dies a hard death soon enough. It's popular because its shit and every kid makes the same shit. With out-of-tune-autotune -
Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn FULL FIGHT | C. Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn FULL FIGHT
I only managed to get in at R5... to me it looked like Benn won it minus the final round where it looked like Eubank was gonna knock him out. Good fight, despite my stream constantly pausing.- Iron Keys

Warzone Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025
That happened to me, I made a beat that was like, it was "okay" but thought my okay is decent enough for here. Then when I heard it in context I was like, yeah nah can't be lazy no more. So now my "okay" beats are ones I tried on but just didn't reach the heights. I'd call this beat in here an...- Iron Keys

Also, with respect to everyone, I think @Armani beat deserved a lot more love... voted for it every round. Final round against @K-waz was a difficult choice, but something about the way part of the arrangement hit swung it for me each time.- Iron Keys

Warzone Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025
Was sitting there like... ...and also... I just wish you gave more heads up on your return, I knew a "2G return beat" would be getting an automatic W unless i bring a Battle That beat. Heard your beat at the beginning and knew it'd be the one, was low-key hoping something would randomly...- Iron Keys

Warzone Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025
Nice beat, brother. Well balanced well mixed well composed. My only "critique" is that it gave me vibes of sync music, for the background of a TV documentary or film - which isn't a bad thing, actually a really useful thing. But, it gave me less 'music' music vibes. Like 2G's maybe captured a...- Iron Keys

Calling all the veterans
For sure, That's why I've been dropping things like the "IRON TIP" threads, or the mix thread I did. My personal growth has been pretty massive over the past year in regards to mixing. So when key concepts set in for me, I'm keen to share them to elevate everyone. And still feel excited that...
