    Sticky Beat This! Theme Suggestions

    Lately my method has been chopping loops out of samples and then adjusting the BPM of the song to fit the loops. I never really got into using samples as one shot, mainly because time stretching them is a pain in the butt. I tend to use samples that are in increments of a beat. That way I can...

    Sticky Beat This! Theme Suggestions

    Could always do something like time signature maybe only beats in 3/4 time, or only in a certain key. Maybe do certain song structures ex. ABABCB. There are tons of variables you could use as parameters.

    Showcase - August 9-15, 2021

    I'm mad because I posted this version here and on Soundcloud. Then I made improvements to the beat. I heard it so much I forgot this version was the one that's already out there

    Clashing frequencies causing artifacts

    My order of operations in that situation would be: volume, panning, filter, EQ, etc. As for panning versus not panning, the only things that I never pan are kicks and bass. Everything else usually gets panned, even if just an imperceptible amount. For example I always pan the snare just a hair...

    Yutaka - "Evening Star"

    Fade and Sole element- Just switch up the drum patterns a little bit more, doesn't have to be anything crazy like if you want subtle just throw a few flams in there, maybe pick the hats up sporadically, both your mixes and everything else are pretty on point.

    Yutaka - "Evening Star"

    2Good- I would drop the chords out like maybe 4 bars at a time or more, like maybe after 8 bars drop it for 4 or something, or if not take some of the high frequencies out. Adante- My only complaint is switch your drum patterns up.

    Yutaka - "Evening Star"

    Things have just been kind of clicking for me lately. I'm starting to get to where I want to be in regards to making beats. I've been trying real hard to move away from stuff that sounds sad/aggressive. I have a full version in my signature if you haven't checked it out yet. It has an intro and...

    I challenge anyone to make a beat with this

    I'm sure I've spent 10K hours learning stuff, implementing it and all that but it's been over a 20 year period :mad:

    As long as you buy it and pay for it to be shipped to me it's a deal.

    What are some of your biggest pains in the butt at the moment regarding beat making?

    My understanding is that the key to getting major placements is having the right management.

    Unison stuff? Not gonna lie it's pretty legit IMO...

    Yes, now minus the time that it takes to draw/play everything in. Instead I drag and drop stuff into the sequencer until I hear something I like.

    What are some of your biggest pains in the butt at the moment regarding beat making?

    The problem I have with it is that you can't manually draw in your chops. Or at least I'm not aware of any way. I like that about Edison you can be super precise, even sample stuff just a little long or short so it fits the time stretch better etc. Time for a rant on FL versus Reason: Lately...

    Reference tracks are helpful for that.

    What are some of your biggest pains in the butt at the moment regarding beat making?

    I actually have it but I don't like the interface. I really like how Reason is set up, it makes sense to me. It's very intuitive.

    What are some of your biggest pains in the butt at the moment regarding beat making?

    A big one for me is that my DAW of choice is Reason, which has limited compatibility at times. In my case Reason doesn't have anything resembling Edison in FL. So in order to sample stuff I have to chop the samples in FL and then export them into Reason. That can be such a pain because I have to...

    Tips for monitoring bass levels?

    These are the speakers that I use: There are some for sale on Ebay for as cheap as $30. I've had actual monitors that were like 10X more expensive with no sub. I went back to the computer speakers because I didn't notice any difference. Shit I might buy another set myself, the ones I use are...

    I've looked on Youtube already they said you go into options > general > XYZ When you get into that menu you're supposed to scroll down to where it says "scaling" and then fix my issue in there. The problem is I can't even scroll down. The menu where "scaling" is appears so large that the...
