    The illest beat selling links

    This is a topic that I've been thinking about too. I'm still working on building out a solid portfolio, so I've just been posting to YT for now, but my thought is I probably have to go everywhere and still need to figure out the best mass upload option/tool.

    Audio visualizer software or website for dope beat videos?

    Does it work well? I've been wondering what's the best one click mass upload tool to use.

    I always thought Fade made Drake "type" beats.

    Best headphones for mixing?

    That's actually an interesting approach to have one great monitor and mix in mono.

    Best headphones for mixing?

    Thanks man. I ended up getting a pair of Audio-Technica M20X for that. I also use them during the day when just listening to music and working too. The 650s look dope, I'll have to put those on the wishlist though given the price haha. After this post, I've been using a combo of my Sennheiser...

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

    Oh shit, gotta update that. Now on to Rebel Sour. I should arrange my beat tapes based on whatever weed is in circulation.

    Thanks mate. Working on something new now that I'm going to referencing back to you and Momento's response. Appreciate the detailed recommendations and advice on this.

    Reddit

    I've only ever been anonymous on there in the past, adding "reddit" to the end of Google searches. Now being on there for a couple weeks I'm realizing I wasn't missing much.

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

    Thanks man, really appreciate the detailed response on this. Definitely the insight I was looking for and much appreciated as I'm still trying to learn how to work with 808s. And yes, I agree too much processing haha.

    Reddit

    I joined the /makinghiphop and /trapproduction pages a couple weeks ago, and it seems any actual question just results in a dick swinging contest. Recently, I made a beat where I used heavy 808s for the lows instead of a traditional bassline, but I was struggling to get the lows to play across...

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

    Thanks man. I think in this case it probably boils down to sound selection too. Probably should have just used a different 808 instead of trying to make it into something it wasn't.

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

    And ps, this is why I like being part of this community. I posted this same thing on the /trapproduction Reddit sub and got a bunch of responses like "it's music, use your ears" "too much processing" "make your own sounds in 3xOSC" "you're probably using an 808 from a drum kit you downloaded."...

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

    here you go @Kane the MOD thanks for taking a look. Think I'm seeing the issue with too much in the ~30hz range. I should probably use fine view instead eh :LOL:

    MPC X Special Edition

    Yeah, I'm noticing that I mostly use my MPK to sound out drum patterns, supporting melodies, etc. Sometimes I record them and edit/quantize, but sometimes I just click in the step sequencer to map out what I played on my controller. 50/50, depends on the complexity and just how I'm feeling, so...

    At what point does sampling feel like stealing ?

    [/MEDIA] "Creativity is hiding your sources." - Supposedly Einstein but not verified. Diddy has always done that though, he has an ear from what the masses want to hear and always seems to know how to bring in cross generational fans. I think there's also an art in understanding what will or...

    MPC X Special Edition

    I think I'm going to try the Akai Fire controller, seems like a cool and efficient way to keep the familiar FL workflow but get rid of some of the annoying mouse clicks. My PC / office is also where I work all day. If I get it I'll let you know how it is. But yeah of course Akai's grid...

    MPC X Special Edition

    I "grew up" with FL studio, from like age 13 to 17ish like many. Then in college, my girlfriend at the time got me an MV-8000. It was cheaper than the MPC at the time but had more features. This was back in mid 2000s. I was so used to software that I spent about 1 year skipping class trying to...

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

    How do you get your 808s sounding clean across various systems? I know, mixing. I've also read some articles on this. But I feel like I'm still struggling. So let me get specific. Here's a beat I recently made where I used 808s on the low end instead of a bassline: The problem: I can barely...

    Beats: Motivation & Plans

    Cheers on the don't give a F mindset. I'd also be curious to hear from others how they were able to get a deal, or get a big project, etc. and what route they took.
