    good music all around, that was enjoyable

    Battle That! Competition - September 9-12, 2026

    One of the rewards of old school beat making was the expanding knowledge of music that went with samples/records digging. One of my fear is that because of copyright laws and the ease of access to ai slop, places will increasingly stop playing human made music and play ai instead for economic...

    Found that one little gem in there too, wondering if it’s the same but it checks the boxes of « mainstream » and « expertly constructed »

    The level of entry differs between prompting, bear making (shortcut here) and « being a musician » What you as the musician get in return is where the biggest difference is. The harder the skill, the deeper you got to dive into the craft, the more complete your understanding of it is. And in...

    I know I’ve been fooled in the past, not sure if by ear I could differentiate. Some people claim they can, and I don’t doubt them. Maybe by not being exposed much, I didn’t pick up the clues yet. Tho in that context I’m sure @Fade has done due dilligence Some entries really felt personal and...

    Not sure how something can be ai sounding, tho admittedly I’m not that much into ai « music » An easy way to verify is to put the file through an ai and ask it. That’s what I do when in doubt. On the competition body end, in doubt ask for stems, or even unmixed stems Edit Had a quick listen...

    Automation - do you automate ? how much ?

    Hi, I remembered a time when people would talk about automating their tracks and parameters and it would feel quite foreign to me. Fast forward a few years later and it became second nature and I'd automate a lot, often, as a way to influence the track dynamics at a given time. I couldn't...

    Thanks for the love, appreciate it ;) Listening to your beats You got talent for arrangement, vision, orchestration, these sound pristine and very pro. however, I feel there's one element that's detrimental to the whole and numbs the inherent personality of the music. Keep in mind this is...

    Mixing good is often barely doing anything...

    I think back before DAWs and home studios, you had to outsource the mixing and all the processes, you'd just come in with your band and your instrument and play the music. Now I feel, if you do it yourself, you just get better and better with time. Not to say there isn't value in outsourcing...

    Mixing good is often barely doing anything...

    had two releases on majors, and I have no idea what I'm doing, one of them, they asked for the track for "mastering" but on release I couldn't hear a difference. I see people talking LUF and dbVu and whatever mambo jambo, and I'm sure they must know what difference it all makes, and I'm also...

    Dr. Dre Admits He Uses AI To Produce

    my thoughts exactly, I'm not expecting him to care when it comes to himself, with all due respect, cause the mfer made the culture go forward as much as anyone, but whatever. He's not in this anymore. the thing with AI "musicians" they rob themselves of the journey of being a musician...

    do you think I could ask for a mullet too ? or would that be too much of an ask and I'd piss him off ? I sure would be thrilled, would it were to be on these exact terms

    I don't know about loudness war, it used to be an issue that my tracks weren't loud enough compared to others, but lately, they seem to be loud enough just fine. I think the idea is to not have sounds competing too much at the same moments, then they can still occupy close frequencies. also...

    sounds like you're on the right track, as you said, the more you do, the better you get at it and there's no limit on how good it can get, it's just a matter of doing it often enough so that it gets to a point where it starts to matter (whatever that means) side note: very happy on how my track...

    @2GooD Productions maybe focus a bit more on the right now, as you're making the track, right now at that very moment, are you doing your best ? and if the answer is "no" (btw it always is "no") spend more time on it, if you hear something in your mind that would sound great and if you don't...
