FLIP IT! Special EFX - Plésance
"Big Fuckoff FX Chain" is my new fav music production term lol. I have similar issues with monitoring and mixing as you do. I write and mix most everything in my headphones. They're a good set of headphones but I also find they under represent the bass - so when I think it's sitting nicely it'll...- BiggChev

FLIP IT! Special EFX - Plésance
@iDeaLoGiK I really like the drums on this. The little fills and quick changes with the drums keeps the beat interesting. The two main phrases you came up with flow really nicely into each other and are super smooth - especially how well it flows into the outro. I would like to hear the bass...- BiggChev

This reminds me of visiting my family in NYC every summer when I was a kid. New York in it's purest form! -

@PhxAzTracmaster Love acoustic guitars! Layering them on the choir is great to add depth and more emotion. I can't figure out what that filtered stuttery thing is going on in the background (chopped up choir?) but it adds some cool texture. -

By more elements I mean; building out the harmonic and melodic quality of the tune. Adding more instruments, not too much, in strategic places to emphasis certain parts or make something stand out more. Even doubling certain chops in certain places can help to add rhythm and groove. Playing... -

SHOWCASE: March 23-30, 2025
@PhxAzTracmaster Interesting. I really liked the first phrase. That sub/808/bass thing is fucking FOUL. Sounds like an 808 with a long release, chorus, and some distortion. Either way, that shit would probably rattle the screws off my car. The sizzling snare is cool, but I would have like... -

I really like this sample! The intro transitions really well into the main groove. Then inverse of that transition from the "verse" could be a bit smoother though. There's a 2000s Ludacris feel to this that I really like - kinda like a beat Kanye did for him that has that southern bounce/funk... -

Drums hit hard with a sick groove! I really love the old school sound of this. Would like to hear the melodic samples a bit more forward in the mix as the drums seem a bit overpowering. Overall, great vibe! -

What WAS your typical setup?
Acid Pro was sick...I wish they made a version for Mac. I started with 2.0 (maybe 3.0) as well. It was a cracked version, so no access to the loop library. I was using around early Kanye era and sampling had a big resurgence. The warping/stretching was amazing for sampling. What I really liked... -
