    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...

    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...

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    Yeah I don't always think about the beat in terms of making space for the vocal to sit, sometimes this just happens very naturally, other times I don't consider it much an issue because if someone were to vocal it I could make the necessary adjustments - it would only be an issue if someone just...

    Funny you say the above... today, or yesterday maybe, I don't fucking know... I was listening to the Warzone beats, also thinking about your reappearance, and thinking the levels are really raising. That battles would almost become a complete wildcard because everything is so good. Which led...

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Oof there was one matchup in the low bracket category I really struggled deciding between. Two both really cool beats, both only mildly let down by their mixing --- both I actually voted for in the previous round too. Lot of quality work in this one.

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    Certainly! Couple this with the fact that there are countless YouTube videos (etc) out there, even plugins themselves saying "your drums must be ( n ) loud, and your eq curve must be exactly this shape", with all these "templates", people are pretty much using the same sounds, making the same...

    I don't even feel like drill is hip hop, feels like a derivative of Grime

    Give me a list of beat genres

    I was going to put Glitch Hop as it's a distinct subgenre but can often times lean more into EDM

    Give me a list of beat genres

    Is there a genre for "2000s" hip-hop? Because, typically boom-bap refers to the 90s style sound. But I wouldn't call the whole Timbaland, Storch, Neptune's era boom bap. Was looking to try be very actual with the genres for Fade, but if we can be making shit up I'll get involved differently...

    Brav, this is the kind of behaviour that leads to us getting those off key beats in the battles. Mfers dropping glowstick lgbt pill trance in the Beat This.

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    This is probably the best tip I, or anyone, could give you in regards to mixing. The best mixes are mis-balanced. Perfectly balanced mixes are boring. (Could be an alternate title for this thread) As counterintuitive as this may sound, this is probably a difficult tip for the less skilled to...

    Meant to share this. This has got to be his wildest statement so far. Probably he felt Diddy was taking too much of the limelight
