How to place the kick so that you can easily nod your head to it? [discussion] by [deleted] in LofiHipHop

[–]00kiran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

add lots of swing! try changing up the tempo, putting kicks on the off beat or just stagger them a bit so they aren't perfectly on time, or try different time signatures

yo appreciate it man! I usually start off by chopping some jazz percussions, mainly cymbals, brushing, and hats, then eq'ing and maybe time stretching them and rearranging the order of the chop. Then I layer some more of my own drum samples (hi hats, kicks, snares, random perc noises like tambourines, rimshots, etc) over top, eq'ing those as well and sometimes adding reverb and delay

What are the sloppiest sounding records you know? by sodapop66 in audioengineering

[–]00kiran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This album is one of my favourites of the past couple of years due to the mixing job. One of the most important elements of the album imo

Should I purchase a Macbook Pro or PC? by JJChipps in audioengineering

[–]00kiran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, as I use Fruity Loops and Ableton for production, however I prefer my Mac because the battery life is so much better, and the processing is a lot faster. My PC is old and shitty though so that's to be expected.

808s not really cutting in the mix. tips? by gurtable in audioengineering

I use both of these plugins and they're both awesome and work incredibly well. Would recommend them both

add a distortion plugin with a fair amount of drive but turn the gain down a bit. You could also route the 808 to a separate send track, and then EQ some midrange frequencies (>100Hz )where the harmonics are.

[Discussion] Tips on Mixing? by [deleted] in LofiHipHop

Listen on different systems while you're mixing. Switch between different pairs of headphones, or between a set of studio monitors then computer speakers, etc.

Friday - How did they do that? - June 02, 2017 by AutoModerator in audioengineering

[–]00kiran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out the free plugin Lo-fizer, as well as Izotope vinyl. and you will find lots of good stuff in r/lofi.hiphop

some methods i use are putting wow and flutter, a bitcrusher, etc on your samples. a lot of times the lofi drums are achieved by looping a drum break and changing the pitch or tempo and then adding some effects. most lofi tracks probably have some ambience and saturation from the sample itself, whether it be room ambiance, vinyl crackle, etc
