    Mastering Kendrick's "Be Humble"

    Them feels. But don't worry m8, learn from the vid, a few £20 plugins in your untreated flat and you can match the quality of the dude whose ears are attunedfor 20 years in his studio with several hundred thousand dollars worth of gear. :LOL: :cry: But on a real... it's more trying to get...

    Mastering Kendrick's "Be Humble"

    It's really good to watch videos like this, hear things like this, and understand the workflow and practise of the very top of the game. Compare their approach to your practise, what are they doing that you aren't. What do you do that is aligned with what they do.

    Sticky Beat This! Theme Suggestions

    Yeah well I mean I found a dope one (several times), with a really cool phrasing, to use at the end of a 4 bar loop, I stretch it on tempo, etc etc, play it at different times, but it always sounds wrong or what, I dunno. Probably some weird measure they use or something. Fuck knows. Just drives...

    IRON TIP: Quick Beats

    Yeah, I had two kind of sounds I made. Both quite distinctive. One of them I didn't use in my 'series' of beats, but made fair use of it. And yeah sometimes I've used it I go 'hmm, just ain't sitting right', even tho in my mind I can hear how it would/could.

    IRON TIP: Quick Beats

    I do the same with my Drum Kits as well, if I piece together a bunch of drums and they seem to work well, I'll save them as a kit for another time I might want that kind of vibe with drums ready that glue.

    IRON TIP: Quick Beats

    I used to have templates like that set up when I was working in Sonar. When I moved to Studio One it was so quick to use and adapt to I didn't bother setting up any. Tempted to save my Master Bus chain as an FX chain just to save me time loading them. Really you should mix into them, but, meh...

    Sticky Beat This! Theme Suggestions

    I've tried plenty. I just can't. On the offchance I get lucky sometimes. But that isn't an efficient way of producing for me. I like chopped styles like Primo and Just Blaze. I hear a sample I go, ou i'll use that. Then whatever I chop just doesn't sound right when I use it. sounds like noise...

    IRON TIP: Quick Beats

    Made a cool beat? Use the same project to start a fresh beat with all the same sounds. Once you've played about and found your key idea, the rest should fall into place like that *clicks fingers*

    Same. And I also suck at sampling. But I wish I could do it. I'm attempting it anyway as the challenge may help me find a way to grow. My beat sucks and sounds nothing like 'me', but there ya go. A waste of time? Maybe. Maybe not.

    Detox baiting 2021...

    I downloaded it, with the intention of buying it. Just couldn't wait. After flicking through it, I had no intention of listening to it let alone buying it. All In a Day's Work is on it? Good track. But yeah, to me it sounded a mess. For me... when those leaked Detox tracks happened...
