    Automatic mastering services

    No doubt man, hope you're doing well. Agreed on the way such are marketed, the term "mastering" is a bit misleading.

    Automatic mastering services

    What's your experience with so-called "automatic mastering" services? I've gotten decent results with BandLab (especially with the "Clarity" setting) and Dolby.io (again with settings that focus on mid / high ends).

    YouTube been applying compression

    I've noticed that too. Sometimes the result is not pretty.

    Nas and Prodigy 'Self Conscience' (DJ Excellence remix)

    Thanks for the feedback (there's definitely an added bassline under the main sample). It was my intention to keep it close to the original (with a spookier vibe).

    Nas - Ultra Black (Hosie remix)

    Feeling this, especially the swing on the drums.

    Mos def - universal magnetic remix

    Nice drums and bassline.

    Congrats @thangman . My favorites based on mixing, originality (and personal taste) were @Delta_Nine , @Fury Beats and @hosie 's tracks.

    New York City - "Make Me Twice The Man"

    @5ivestar_nc : Very creative, has somewhat of an early 2000s soulful feel. @2GooD Productions : Feeling the drums and overall vibe. Clean chops and well mixed.

    Beat This! Competition - October 5-6, 2022

    My review: @Iron Keys : Solid mix but the drums / chops clash IMO (see 00:08). @5ivestar_nc : Feeling the hard drums and bassline. @UncleKev : The mix is solid, drums not my cup of tea. @silenceotm : Great mix. @NonxG : Feeling the punchy drums. @2GooD Productions : As I mentioned...

    Beat This! Competition - October 5-6, 2022

    I played all the beats yesterday and my favorite was 2Good's. The mix was balanced and the chops were clean. Overall, it was great to hear 'beatmaking diversity' for lack of better term. And congrats @Iron Keys . Having trouble with audio playback today, I'll come back later wither further...

    Just submitted my flip. Used to binge watch Sanford and Son reruns when I was a kid.

    Joe Henderson - "Black Narcissus"

    Thanks for the feedback @Fade . Your flip was nice too, very mellow and well mixed (good use of panning).

    Joe Henderson - "Black Narcissus"

    @2GooD Productions Thanks for the feedback. I used parallel EQ to boost the low end a bit but I might add an actual bassline later on. Your version is dope, feeling that mellow vibe. The drums fit quite well.

    Joe Henderson - "Black Narcissus"

    Just made this...

    Dubmatique 'Le Rap Français' (DJ Excellence remix)

    Thanks for the feedback. I upped the acapella and reworked its placement.
  20. DJ Excellence

    3 Beats from Today

    I like all three. Very solid drum work as usual. The only thing I'd rework is the bassline on "Hard Times" (there's a bit of distortion at times -- no pun intended).
