    Clipping above my mixing IQ

    Any chance you're clipping in your plugins ?? If you (for example) load a sample that hits -1dB, even if you drop your fader by 10db, when you boost that sample by more than 1db in a plug in, you will be pushing that signal into clipping within the plugin.

    Keeping short loops interesting??

    Youknow a mad one? one im working on now, and I have other tracks like it too, same case, 1 short ass loop, I can loop that shit with 0 changes or edits, and for some reason it sounds like it progressing. Subtle magic. Some loops, some phrases they just have that magic that by the end of it it...

    Keeping short loops interesting??

    I been thinking this a bit especially recently. Been listening to a lot of pared back stuff lately. With essentially a 1 bar loop as the main hook repearing through the track. But it really makes the lyrics kinda jump off the track. Even if they themselves keep a quite consistent flow. The...

    Dunno what you're all talking about but I've shown my "team of producers" and they all agree with me.

    Make sure none of you submit any of that "outdated" shit.

    What bass for sustained trap bass??

    With constant bass surely you'd want to cut low 3nd, nah?? Having a sub or something sustained over 4 bars would be too fatiguing and over powering?? And surely you need freqs above 100/200 so that the bass is audible???

    What bass for sustained trap bass??

    Nah these don't soundlike 808s tho, they sound like sustained notes??? 808s tail off... these just stay constant level??

    What bass for sustained trap bass??

    What sort of source sound or synth best for getting that sustained trap bass like this track? There are better and more examples of what I mean, but when you need something it's hard to find huh? Also, how do you approach mixing these?? How do you keep their weight and presence without it...

    @2GooD Productions Your "Pop" beat reminds me of a kinda Dre style beat suited to like a Mary J type singer. I can almost hear the vocal on it. I *want* to hear the vocal on it.

    How did you start making beats ?

    Self taught Bought some hiphop ejay thing. Stupid but was fun. I had most fun when found it's step sequencer and was able to program drums - literally just listened to a record and reverse engineered it. Friend DL'd Fruity Loops on his pc... immediately i chopped up some kungfu samples and had...

    Help A Sista Out

    As for the "pros" of learning to make beats, it would probably come down to the following... - having an understanding similar to the producer; this might make communication easier when working with one as a rapper. - give you a better understanding "musically"; in terms of elements of a track...
