I've got good monitors but suffer from a weirdly shaped and cluttered room that has recently made it impossible to tell whats going on in my mixdowns without referencing on headphones every 10 minutes - i'd do the treatment!

Compa released a free DL of Compa - WUTA a while back, has anyone got a copy of it they could upload? Can't find it anywhere on the net

Just putting my two pennies in here, DON'T GO TO UNI. (If you want to be in the music industry). Your time is spent 999999999x better looking for work anywhere you can find it, its so easy to find you just have to know where to look - big labels, publications, distributors, studios, all the differen...

Posted this on somewhere else but perhsps DSF can help a bruvvah out: I produce stuff on Logic and generally try to make tunes without frequencies overlapping (i.e. distinct sub, kick, bass, synth, high frequencies) then eq each part to really reduce any overlap. Then compress certain sounds as req...

Ahh man, how did Artikal not get into best labels

dial_back nice beat, love the intro actually, the main bass on the drop sounds way too out of tune and muddy though, would recommend trying something else imo. sjscar love this tune man, intro is perfect imo. can't think of any criticism apart from maybe clean up that rolling hi-hat, doesn't sound ...

Probably the quickest tune i've ever made haha, but i really like it, think i nailed the drums :) https://soundcloud.com/owenedwards/wide-asleep what would be a good way to promote this kinda stuff? since its quite a niche market i'm finding it hard to get any plays on my tracks anymore (used to get...

I've known some engineers to ask for -7db of headroom, it just depends on the way they work.

I can get away with this?^ O.o

Hi guys, so i've done a real thorough mix on this tune of mine, and it turned out great so i've decided i want to get it mastered. Unfortunately there is like 0 headroom in the chorus, and i know this is less than ideal for mastering. I'm assuming I can't just turn down the mixer fader haha, so what...

Im happier with my tunes than ive ever been. not to say i cant improve, its just for once they seem to be listen able! lol This haha :) I'm at a point now where i get excited over most tunes i make, then dislike them the next morning, then start liking them again once i've worked on them a bit. I'm...

This. Just this.

nw dude glad you like them

My very best 14 basses, 4 FX, 9 Leads and one pad that I've made. I mostly use these patches for dnb and dubstep. A few patches only sound right at one or two notes and should be resampled, such as the posij bass (my personal favourite). And two patches came from patches other people gave away but I...

I have a roland quad capture, cheap as fucking cheese, extremely reliable, really easy to use, easy to plug headphones into if needs be, and two inputs, would recommend

How do you know if someone started working on the track days earlier?

Its mostly a trust thing, there are no prizes for winning the comp so what'd be the point? I'll try my best to find some time to enter

Anyone got any info on a release for this absolute monster of a tune? Been killing it for a while now

Its hard to recognise whether you aren't getting enough views on your tracks because you're shit, or because your underexposed sometimes haha ^^ i'm quite pleased i'm edging towards 4 figures on most of my tracks now though

Thanks futures, helps a lot

I'm making my own studio in my back garden, and I know nothing about sound treatment or acoustics or any of that haha, after some research I haven't managed to find much, wondered if you guys can help. I'm basically looking for help on dimensions, materials, foundations and anything else you can thi...
