i have an artist in residence with writers and artists. the writers are placing their work consistently more than artists period.

08.02.2026 03:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0dude tbh like basic basic solid mixing is easy when the mix concept is dialed, but if you step into the studio with a lot of colors and a pintrest board of photos it wont go well. people avoid planning and executing a concept cuz they feel its not musical...

dude im checking out some films i missed from the early to mid 90's and the ads im getting are all about how to retire at 40 (im 36 & as if that has ever been something outside of propaganda from the companies that make the product they "used to retire")
lame attempt, no dice

23.01.2026 02:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0got the idea from how i cut the energy from the bass so when it's introduced its only the tonal top and the rhythm
23.01.2026 02:05 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0tried it out makes a solid top layer that i will make stereo only and i will replicate with a proper eq to avoid phase issues. im just paranoid.
23.01.2026 02:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0this is a fun plugin to add some stereo width and dirt to a kick on the bridge or intro so the kick hits hard on the drop. also this is subtle settings and its mint. i bet its awesome when you push it hard and have the input audio smashed to shit.

Maybe somewhere in between.

thats what we do. just go to a project like today and say hey we want to see in the mix can we shorten the clap? can we attenuate for the volume loss and still get the same dbfs and rms? can we get it to hit harder in the mix without making it louder technically speaking??
start small get a win with a 90 second to 5 min beat. then go hit a mixdown. go hit a master. fresh from that. then you can get another win and keep it moving on any revisions on old projects with your brain and body all settled.
18.01.2026 17:16 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0tbh its a great way to start a session. just do something silly and dumb. get your brain and hands adjusted. i realize after 5 min the chair is too high. removing some gear from the desk etc. people saying hi when you just come in. first 20 ish min is just setting a vibe.

12.01.2026 15:38 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0if you talk to me and tell me i need to organize for prinaries for the democratic party you have to be high. we didnt have a presidential primary. why would i ever participate in a primary again? tbh the dems suck by design. its "the producers" of politics.
11.01.2026 19:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0i like mexico where the dems who actually were leftist split off. so the dem party cant hold be two things at once

11.01.2026 18:29 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0so my dems voted for ice and all the shit i dont want and they represent more than 3 times that population.
11.01.2026 18:25 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0also lets not forget we have to least efficient senate and congress. they barely vote compared to what was done in the 90s and even that is sad. im not saying they are irrelevant, but let me tell you az is 7 mil fl is 23.mil.
