    How many tracks?

    A track for example, has something on it that has actually been tracked . Whether that's your audio file, midi clip. It's tangible. Busses are just routing. You don't have your kick coming out of the channel and another duplicate file coming out of the bus 2 playing at once; it's one...

    so wait, if the songs bad, will you playing it to them when you visit them be the torture/punishment in itself? :woot:

    How many tracks?

    I dont know no professional who would use it that way. Tracks GO TO busses. Busses carry multiple tracks.

    How many tracks?

    It's not really pedantic, tracks are tracks, busses are busses.

    How many tracks?

    In realistic terms they're not tho. (Except for analogue send returns.. i believe)

    How many tracks?

    Sends* and busses aren't tracks. *Unless you're all working on analogue consoles.

    It'd probably ironically come out as the best thing you've ever made (happened to me once) Or be the biggest pile of :shit: haha

    How many tracks?

    We're talking minimalist hiphop records. Excluding vocals. If you're recording a rock band/live drum kit then yeah... but I've been in studios with top engineers using less tracks than some of you are suggesting. Some of you talking 100 channels 20 melodies wtf? You recording a full orchestra...

    How many tracks?

    That's because his masterclass was just the one song. Where they had to demonstrate a busy production for the sake of having stuff to talk about. Go rewatch the parts when he talks about actual hit records of his... he actually says himself "this track is just three instruments". It's probably...

    How many tracks?

    @YannFer yeah I've watched it. But i wouldn't really class what they worked on as a typical Timbaland beat. Especially if you compare the track to his example hits... Dirt Off, Gossip Folks, Pony, Somebody etc And even if you compare it to his current stuff. The stuff he makes with Angel and...

    How many tracks?

    His engineer says he mist often don't even separate his drums when he sends them.

    How many tracks?

    I have hardly any tracks in my project. Compared to some i see like 50 odd. But I remember Timbaland pointing out a fact about most of his hits are only like 3 instruments. I probably usually have less than 10.

    Showcase - June 15-21, 2020

    @Chad Maybe in regards to the hihats it might not be necessarily what they're playing i just think they sound a bit too separate from the rest of the track; the rest of the track has a dusty rough vibe but these hats are very bright and clear... they sound slightly too loud in the mix but even...

    Resources for the drums pattern variety

    And if you can't figure why, you can always come here at IllMuzik and say "hey guys, to me my track doesn't sound/feel right in regards to xyz style, any idea why?" There may just be a few people with the ears and feel to help explain.

    Resources for the drums pattern variety

    It's better to use your ears. I know it sounds vague, and you almost hate receiving vague sounding advice in regards to something as technical as music/production. But I've found it's more often the best advice. The simple way is, just listen... does it "feel" right? Does it "sound right"...

    Resources for the drums pattern variety

    Personally i wouldn't recomm3nd this approach. It will generally 3nd up as just another beat. I'd suggest just learning the basic rhythm of the style you're interested in, then immerse yourself in something completely different so you can kinda merge elements. Also this approach to producing...
