    How you guys are finding new music artists?

    UGHH . . . wow, they're still around hey? Will check out the other ones too, thx. For more underground stuff, I've been digging the per-city playlists on the Loop Sessions Discord. For more mainstream stuff, this site does the whole "if you like X, you might like Y" thing. For shit to sample...

    my first "beatmaking video"

  8. Leopard Cohen

    Illmuzik is keeping the internet alive.

    I can't stand what the internet has become, and it's by design. If you're interested in nerding out, and while you still can, search up the term 'enshittification' for info. Sadly, I think we're in the twilight of sites like this one. I'm glad I found it before the fascio-tech-bros replace their...

    my first "beatmaking video"

    Good on ya for putting yourself out there Dusty. I enjoyed the vid. It was engaging, funny, educational without being stuffy, etc. And the length was perfect, short and sweet without a bunch of filler. When you doing your first unboxing vid?

    Dear Ann Landers, I have concerns. If I make a trap song, will I end up like this? I hear that trap is a gateway genre to mumbling and becoming mentally retarded. --- Cinderella Hopeful

    How much mixing do "pro" producers do themselves?

    Which is exactly why I turn to beatmaking videos when I'm in a rut ;) 20 mins of watching someone else chop up samples and lay down a track, I'm like "where's my sampler?!?"

    So what’s the point anymore?

    My day job is in tech and I'm so sick of all the hype around AI . . . It's a tool. It can do some cool stuff, but it's not what people think it is. Everyone is focusing on generalized, end-to-end stuff - give it a prompt and get something back or get unsolicited content or design suggestions...

    When You're Not In The Beat-making Mood

    These are great tips, thanks @BiggChev ! Sounds like we have similar approaches - when I'm in a rut I'll just make drum loops or learn new production techniques or features of my tools. Maybe you've experienced the same thing, but some of my own tracks that I like most have been happy...

    Are there any distinct styles?

    Yeah, I get what you're asking. But does it matter if the joint that you're into was made this year? Or last year? Or 60 years ago? Every form of music during the past 40 years has been influenced by hiphop and hiphop is influenced by everything else. Does it matter that it's called crunk or...

    Are there any distinct styles?

    I'm still a relative noob to making beats but I've been listening to hiphop for a long-ass time. The internet (and tech in general) is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, as consumers we've got access to more music than ever. We can pay for it, we can pirate it, we can stream it. It's not...

    Mistaken Identiy - Funk/Nu-Disco

    I dig it. The filter sweeps give it an Avalanches / Chemical Brothers vibe. Great job on the bassline.
