    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    Cheers, I'll jot those down whenever I'm shopping for a pair. Eventually I plan to mount a pair wide in the corner of the room. If I did a pano of my office, you'll see it's all windows and I'll never get proper acoustics without killing the vibe of the room, hence my decision to go with...

    Is my name cool?

    I'll borrow someone's dusty boner.

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    Yeah, I do. Those are the JBL 104 BT which are pretty good if you just want a pair of reference speakers that won't break the bank. I also use a pair Sennheisser HD 400 PRO and Audio-Technica M20x headphones, alongside the HoRNet VHS headphone correction VST.

    Stop using reverb on your snare.

    I rarely put reverb on the kick unless I'm going for a vibe where the drums sound distant. Very rare for me unless I'm experimenting. I'll sometimes but a hair of reverb on the drum BUS to give it a sense of space, but very little.

    Is my name cool?

    You can call me that, though I prefer when you call me Precious.

    I think I’m gonna ditch my mpc 2500 for Koala

    I'm of the school of thought that it's ultimately about whatever is easiest for you to transpose your mind to music.

    Is my name cool?

    Then I'll be able to say cool things like "Dusty Blender, real name no gimmicks."

    Beat lease grind indefinitely?

    What's "submitting to sync"?

    Beat lease grind indefinitely?

    So really both + something creative that everyone else isn't doing.

    Beat lease grind indefinitely?

    Right. The unfortunate part of the game I guess. Definitely a reminder that if I want to make any $$ with my hobby, it's just as much about being a "influencer" and trying to get 10K+ followers.

    Question for trap producers... how to get 808s consistent across various sound systems?

    Vital looks cool (the website and marketing at least). I'll check it out!

    Beat lease grind indefinitely?

    yeah makes sense. guy probably just made $10K by making a quick graphic and selling old beats.

    Beat lease grind indefinitely?

    Is this just how it is, a guy with such credentials still having to do the beat lease grind... or think it's easy money? He's a cool dude to follow and makes dope stuff, so no disrespect at all, was just kinda surprised to see a Black Friday deal targeted to bedroom folks so thought to get the...

    Classic rock meets hip-hop...

    Thanks man, I grew up during that era and Heatmakerz / Just Blaze are huge influences to me. Does it sound outdated or something folks would still want to rap on today?

    Cold Messing Around

    Drums and bass are dope man. Love that rim shot that sounds a bit farther away, adds a cool element to the beat. I thought the melody could be a tad louder but that might be personal preference.

    We flying high, let's touch the sky, and hope we never ever come down...

    Thanks for the listen, man. Always appreciate your feedback. Honestly, I struggle to make my shit sound clean, it always comes out grimy even when I try, hence DUSTY and I've just decided to roll with it lol... but I'm just a sucker for manipulating sounds and using VSTs based on vintage gear...

    We flying high, let's touch the sky, and hope we never ever come down...

    Thanks man! Appreciate the listen. Let me know if you find the other track, OG track came out about 1.5 years ago and I'm not seeing anything on whosampled (not yet anyways haha). This is the track I flipped:
