SHOWCASE: June 1-8, 2025
Thanks @Armani I appreciate the feedback and insight on tone and texture. My background is blues/rock guitar so those moves kinda feel the most natural to me. I'm still reworking this piece and will make note of your points! -

Thanks @hosie ! Ironically, my cutlery drawer is the least organized part of my house lol. I was like “how TF does he know I have a white desk?!” Then I remembered I posted a pic in the “Show Your Setup” thread. I whole heartedly agree with you on “reckless abandon” approach. Music is equal... -

Tinker. Tailor. Beatmaker.
This! I recall watching a “how to process your drums” video and blindly was doing the same over compressed cookie cutter processing. It wasn’t until last fall I was like “you know what, let me just get the levels and gain staging right.” Made a huge difference. As a guitarist, the music theory... -

Started tracking into Logic last night. Good tip on bringing down the reverb on the pianos (keys in level in general). Took your delay idea in a different direction and put a filtered panning delay on the horn. May not have it run the whole way through, but I kinda like the added dimension it... -
Tinker. Tailor. Beatmaker.
I typed this all up in Pages and pasted it, forgot to @ you. I will say, you're definitely living up the the "Ill OG" banner in your avatar. Coming in with a focus goes a long way. Especially for me, who isn't one of those "always inspired" creative types, I need to add some structure or goal... -

Tinker. Tailor. Beatmaker Introduction As 2024 was winding down, I set some loose goals for the coming year. Closing in on the half-way mark of 2025 and reflecting on those goals, I’ve realized they were more general aspirations rather than objectives. This realization also came during a weeks... -

@2GooD Productions So Much Drama: Very smooth. I'm hearing some grit which I really like (saturation, soft clipping?). The duel E-Piano/Rhodes is really clever. I like how you established the main theme, and the second rhodes does that descending beat. In fact, a lot of this composition is... -
MPC 3.5 Desktop BETA
@K-waz grabbing those battle points before he “retires.” Real talk, don’t stop battling. Your beats are fire and, personally, they’ve pushed me to up my game. -
MPC 3.5 Desktop BETA
It’s funny how things have changed. Maschine was touted as the “MPC Killer.” Then the REN came out and kinda flopped. Now NI can’t seem to get their shit together and Akai has been on a roll! I love seeing creators getting stuck in with “orphaned” gear and stretching out their shelf life like... -
SHOWCASE: June 1-8, 2025
@DJ Excellence Appreciate you! I’ve been trying to find ways to make my drums more interesting without relying on the standard Descending Tom fill or reverse crash (which ironically I have on this lol). Your remix is super smooth! What’s your process for remixes? Does it start with the song... -
MPC 3.5 Desktop BETA
@K-waz Just curious, as I’m unfamiliar with modern MPCs, what’s been keeping you on the Ren? I vaguely remember when it came out the opinions were mixed on it. Conversely, Akai is having a great company resurgence with the current lineup. I find you have 2/3 camps of MPC users; modern (Live2... -
SHOWCASE: June 1-8, 2025
@troublewithkeys You did indeed post it correctly! The atmosphere is really nice on this. The Mallet/piano adds a really nice dreamy, ethereal vibe. The drums are mixed really well. I can get a good sense of weight on the kick without it sticking out. The vocal chops got the whole song very... -

Dope! I want to see what you do with the ReLoop -
SHOWCASE: June 1-8, 2025
Oh 100% I was just vibing inside Maschine yesterday and didn't want to break up the workflow exporting loops, or tracking from Maschine to Logic. When, because I will, re-work this - I'll be sure to mix in Logic. -
SHOWCASE: June 1-8, 2025
The intro is really dope! Movie dialogue can be either really cheesy, or feel like it's just slapped on to fill space. Often times, I find the vibe of the dialogue doesn't match the underlying music -- not the case here! I like the "story" going on. The intro is the setup, the middle interlude... -

@2GooD Productions This is the type of feedback I genuinely appreciate. Thanks! You know I gotta have guitar in my tracks! lol. I won't make excuses for myself, but mixing in Maschine can be a bit tedious - so there may be some half ass-ing going on. I think I will flesh this out more. I... -
SHOWCASE: June 1-8, 2025
Tried to work solely in Maschine today (write, arrange, and mix). The arranging part is a pain if you're not accustomed to it, but the real pain is the mix. I think I'll stick to Logic for final mix-downs. -
SHOWCASE: May 25 - June 1, 2025
@DJ Excellence thanks brother! I’ve been trying to pay more attention to the mix in general. Iron gave me some Great tips, still working on it.
