    Fuck Spotify

    Annual streams sounds dumb af. Let's say an artist has 10million streams on a sing one year, because it was popping off, then only 50k next year. Either way. This is tragic. Now... my hope always was... when radio first came out (no I'm not that old, mayhe Fade and 2G remember those days)...

    You need... something to record either midi or audio. And something to make sound with. Typically this would look like having a DAW. From there you should be able to get started with stock sounds, if not there are plenty of great freebies online. You can make superb music for free these days

    Is this an accurate LUFS cheat sheet when mastering?

    My guy was more asking what lufs his hihat hat should be and how many lufs his background vocal texture should be.

    Sometimes that's just because the mixing is scarily shocking

    Hate when that happens. Have had some cool ideas before and couldn't manifest them. One of my last Halloween ones was real pleased with... I sampled a humming creepy girl and chopped and stretched the hums to match my creepy melody. Imho nothing sounds scarier than a "Fade Halloween Party" tbh

    It's really not that necessary unless it's causing audible problems. And usually that's if your overs are way over and consistent. If you're really that worried just slap a true peak limiter and check with metering. But some also advise against this. There are top end limiters that even have...

    So? You can get better sounding clipping with analogue gear mostly, but that's not what we're talking about. Intersample peaks are there before. Mp3 conversion can generate clipping from it but also maybe not. Could also generate. Lossless audio has intersample peaks too. Only if you've...

    Plenty commercial records have TP values of +1.5 so don't sweat TPs too much. However, be certain here you're talking about true peak and not just normal peak level.

    Use your ears. Not maths. However ... there are actually some actual maths. It's more to do with loudness range and tone curves of top 25 spotify tracks. Their sound ranges all land very close with eachother. I would really really urge you not to use gimmick based mix approaches (such as...

    Some 8 bit vibes...

    Also... I let this one play start to finish whilst replying.g - this is a big sign. If I can let a beat play through, it's usually an enjoyable listen. If there was anything off with it I would have stopped it ages ago.

    Some 8 bit vibes...

    Sounds nice out of my phone speaker. Only issue I have, is the title had me ready for some proper Sega and NES vibes. Oh wait it's become more like that. Yeah this is dope. What did you do to achieve the game type sounds? Tell me about it. (I've got a few 8 bit type beats floating around on...

    At what point does sampling feel like stealing ?

    Well technically collages are subject to the same kind of copyright laws.

    The illest beat selling links

    So reason I ask is cause of this. Any kind of professional selling of beats/music, I've known 5k to be the going rate. I'm glad to see you know a out 50 50 splits. Personally if I was selling a beat for cheap I would go with the sell price AND 50 50. I think in some places you're not...

    That really can't be too true tho. How much should a beat that is ready for commercial use cost? Minimum

    The illest beat selling links

    Nah. That's not my point. How much do you think a beat is worth?

    The illest beat selling links

    Still don't get any better... But I'm glad to see there are beats up their for bigger coin. I wonder how many (if any get bought?) Seeing as they get listed I might chuck a few up for a few thousand.

    Look how garbage this all is. All these beats sound the same and aren't very good.
