    Beat This! Beat This! Competition - December 18-19, 2024

    Congrats to my dude @K-waz dope beat and managed the jingle whilst keeping it hip hop too. @Dusty B don't be so hard on yourself dude. Beat was nice! @Iron Keys Thanks dude. Appreciate it. I has a message in response to your first post but didn't get time to post it. I too had trouble with the...

    Workflow (some setup, gear, subscriptions etc)

    Been adding to this post for a while now and have decided just to make it live as otherwise I might not ever get round to it. So it's a work in progress. So new room, new setup. With work and general life stuff I have very little time to really do music these days. Tends to be in the wee small...

    Congrats @Mike Chief Stand outs for me were without a doubt @TWU and @Iron Keys . Very surprised neither of them won.

    Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024

    Okay, so now I'm going to end up with 3 sets of headphones. Slate look great. I'm guessing software is similar to Abbey Road Studio NX? Which I think is great in theory but ends up messing with your head and how you mix or reference mixes.

    Ah, come on....we are all friends here. We hope the best beat wins! Just keep doing you and try not to bash other folks beats! we're all in the same boat. Some new, some old, some trying to improve, sold very old and stuck in their ways (*cough*). Got Bayerdynamic DT 990 Pro's...

    Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024

    @Earsblower I proper lolled at that comment. @Iron Keys Good to test your instincts sometimes. I think you've set a benchmark for yourself and feel more pressure than most when submitting. Pretty sure this is my first Warzone. First mix in my new headphones and Jesus. The difference is night...

    Ooft. Voted listening on my phone. Now listening properly in my headphones. That mix from @Iron Keys is absolutely ridiculous. Going to use that as a reference track it's that good. Beat was dope too! My other favourites were HeadchangeHQ & @V.J. Retro Also @2GooD Productions where you at!?!?

    Isn't EMERGENCY one of your aliases? More like ARMANGENCY. Someone better call 999 and request the fire brigade cause I'm bout to make some fire. Seriously though, someone better call 999 and ask if they can send out a theme suggestion ASAP. PS. Apologies, I actually like this theme...

    Beat This! Competition - November 13-14, 2024

    Loved the insight video @Armani . I believe this is how most folk would vote due to busy schedules. I'd also like to see your live vote @Iron Keys . I don't vote unless I can listen to all of the beats in the timeframe and some weeks I can't due to the sheer number of entries. Once I've...

    Beat This! Competition - November 13-14, 2024

    Congrats @Declik Started working on something but scrapped it... Changed my vote a few times. I think alot of the beats ended up sounding like actual country songs opposed to hip hop beats and a few others had too little a reference to country. However I thought there was 3 maybe 4 that...

    AKG K553 MKII

    I've got monitors but just never get to use them as the kids are generally sleeping when I'm making music so headphones is all I can manage. I tend to check my mixes in my car and then in my van. My vans music system is like 2 tin cans only worse so if it's thin your beat sounds like you've made...

    AKG K553 MKII

    Nice review! Going to have a look at these. Although a lack of bass response I'd say is a bit of a red flag when making hip hop beats. I've also got the 7506's at the moment. Think it was actually off of a @Fade recommendation? Can't quite remember. I've actually been searching for new...

    Hey JAHVILE - ALL CAPS, yea? It's not the equipment you have that it's important. It's the equipment you're going to waste all your money on for the next few decades that's really important. Just so you know you will never be happy making beats. You may have fleeting moments of happiness or...

    Beat This! Competition - November 13-14, 2024

    I've just finished my house move. Studio room setup. This is what I come in to. On the plus side I've spent the time setting up my studio wisely and now have a much better mixing setup. To the point I'm considering some stupidly expensive headphones because I generally make beats when everyone...

    Why would you do this to me? Dope samples. Dope beat.

    Studio One Pro 7

    @2GooD Productions you'll be very surprised and probably integrate it in to part of your workflow. @K-waz @Iron Keys got me intrigued too. Just about sorted my workflow out the last month too. FL Studio / Maschine MK3 / Serato Sample. How would the Maschine integrate in to Studio One? House...

    Warzone Beat Battle - October 8-12, 2024

    Great battle. Congrats AGAIN to @Iron Keys 2 very competitive battles in a row. Couldn't pick a favourite between @TWU & @HeadchangeHQ . Liked @Earsblower's too but felt it wasn't as cohesive a mix. Was a little thin? turned it RIGHT UP and it helped but with a better mix it will be dope.
