SHOWCASE: June 15-22, 2025
Reminded me a little of React by Erick Sermon and Redman when I made it, sounds nothing like it but I had it in the back of my mind as a memory while making it. Was a quick one for me, made in less than an hour and mixed in 15 minutes so not with my usual sidechaining and all that jazz.- Opium Dave

The transitions for each emcee are dope, and smooth too. Great work. I'm really liking seeing you finding your own style, and I highly approve of it.- Opium Dave

Lots of times my velocity changes get undone to a degree when I compress or clip the drums in later stages. But I always use velocity changes on drum fills and hi hats- Opium Dave

Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025
I do still use a global swing, but for that humanisation I will just not quantize things, or deliberately shift drums around to get them off a robotic quantization, but most times in all honesty, my drums are still quantized. Because I can be lazy and try not to interrupt my workflow by bogging...- Opium Dave

Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025
I used to always have my swing set at 33%, but over time and mainly due to inspiration from @DJ Excellence and his understanding of the Premo sound I have started pushing my swing as far up as between 66-90% on many occasions more recently. and yeah, like @Iron Keys said, thats some expert...- Opium Dave

Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025
exactly, only time I will drop the L1 on the drum bus is if the clipping is too distorted. My master bus chain is dynamic EQ(decisions guided by the Izotope Tonal Control 2), then standardclip which I use for gain control and final clipping before going into the final limiter which is the L2...- Opium Dave

Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025
@Iron Keys often times my master bus is already pushing -6db LUFS integrated before I have done anything to it so have to bring the gain down a little before any final clipping/compression or limiting to get my final result. Many times I don't even need to use a limiter at all, but just use it...- Opium Dave

Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025
Yeah same here, clipping on a vocal often doesn't sound very good so I still use compression on a vocal, as well as chopping the wav up and manually adjusting volume levels if parts are a bit too low in volume. If chopping the wav up causes pops and clicks I will automate the volume instead to...- Opium Dave

Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025
I agree completely, I use far fewer mixing plugins now, I have replaced most compression with soft/hard clipping and saturation to get the same results. Other mixing plugins I use for very specific reasons, like Submarine or R-Bass to get better deep lows, or MV2 to even out a dynamic bass...- Opium Dave

Exactly this. 100% only time I've used reference tracks, just to get an understanding of how my monitors "should" sound.- Opium Dave
