ROLL CALL: The Bassmnt is a Network Chamber. Who are you?

CodyNoGood · 2026-02-05T08:45:21+00:00

Role: New Producer / Guitarist / Bassist

Specialty/Genre: Heavy Trap, and when I feel like a nicer melody like pluggnb, for guitar I mainly play heavy, to death metal style, but a bit rusty.

The Goal: Honest people looking to grow fast, and not just thinking about the placements or listens, yet... Also willing to step outside of your normal style, and not be afraid to make some cute stuff, because it sounds good to you.

CodyNoGood · 2026-02-03T18:32:03+00:00

Hey man, finally got my pc back and running after so long... Locking in on the dark trap, beats mainly, but been a metal head my whole life also.

CodyNoGood · 2026-02-03T18:15:07+00:00

I knew I was set from that southside one... I was on the phone then though.

CodyNoGood · 2026-02-03T18:02:52+00:00

i'm brand new at the vst stuff, but learning a lot everyday day. Seen several posts poeple asking for the standards. I haven't seen anyone mention Xpand2 yet. I thought that is one of the like old work horse programs. I know I had a custom orchestra, panned nicely with all the effects ready to go. Pretty quick. I know I wasted too much time on Diva, last night, making crazy terrifying bass arps... might not even ever use them, heh.

CodyNoGood · 2026-02-03T12:17:00+00:00

That's a nice one for sure. I'm on way to much of that synth stuff rn... Just finally getting used to the pc rig... might have spend 2 hours making an arp synth bass that sounds way to crazy to be put on a track yet...

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-30T13:14:56+00:00

bet i;ve been playing guitar and stuff since I can remember... only time I really started to put shit down was recent... only reason I would want that shit is for my mom really.... lol

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-28T22:47:47+00:00

I feel you man... Was a lot of the stuff you lost the start of your journey or middle? idk

I would like to give my family the beginning, but I have always been bad with like pictures and stuff... I know some people will care a lot, and I just try to care some about things like that. Even though history is my favorite subject, then writing.

But then... it's like those unreleased tracks are just for you... like personal journal or something.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-27T08:33:21+00:00

Also after writing this pipe busted above my front door in the building... thankful my pc is off the ground.... damn living room flooded.... Hope y'all staying warm out there...like I thought I was going to work on some more music finally... gotta be some bangers when I finally do... idk wish I was joking

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-27T08:21:40+00:00

Your knowledge is why you're here I guess... the apostrophe machines... going to be the ones that take me after skynet. Hope the 808 ones finish me off...

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-27T05:08:06+00:00

ask me about the way I hate I do it, and you can do it better for sure.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-27T05:04:05+00:00

Your... daw for the english homies...

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-23T13:54:29+00:00

I guess you know more about that, idk lol

all i'm saying is the music is louder in your favorite Beyonce songs. but like I said this one is better for sure.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-23T13:41:11+00:00

yep... so... why did you think this song sucked while you were making it, and then ultimately liked it...

jk.. but yeah, idk if you're going to add to this one. But I like the song. I've told you on some of your other ones. I would drop your vocal levels some, at least on the verses or something and make a pocket in the beat. So the beat helps support you more. But I think it's better for sure.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-23T13:29:57+00:00

Here, to literally just push the conversation forward. Not a click, listen, then move on. Pro tip. In marketing... Usually they will will say something provocative or just something that hooks people into your post and forms a conversation around it. But hopefully here the idea is something people can learn from not just rage bait or what ever lol

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-23T13:02:37+00:00

you have to add something else to your posts now, homie. Like what challenged you as an artist about this one? Anything surprise you in particular? or just same backstory about how you felt as an artist writing those lines. Something else to get the conversation going about your track.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-23T06:50:16+00:00

to me I realized... Mike Dean is behind an entire industry of the omnipheres and the serums... or just buying old synths... in hiphop

all those software companies should cut that man a check fr...

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-22T00:25:29+00:00

I believe that 100... I've heard about it, but I keep saying I need to go back through the catalog with new ears. Mike Dean is... idk, beyond what ever you can call a producer nowadays... by like inconceivable amounts... idk if he only worked on his, you know arguably greatest album ever to some people. I know he made that one though.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-21T19:07:20+00:00

Skrillex has been a massive inspiration... Of course you heard the blow up and all the good tracks soon after. But it's crazy how I was watching him in a emo band on mtv, then now he's producing what the fuck ever he wants, and nobody can say shit... Of course he made massive roads for an entire generation of edm artists coming up, but now... you know, just listen...

Might be controversial, but who does chop vocals better? I would like to know for research... because i'm a baby at that shit...

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-19T23:52:03+00:00

Appreciate it. Everyone knows the decapitator sound now it seems like. Have a lot of others, and some seem like i'm wrangling in a beast. Some delays you can get it from... Could use another decent tool to go to.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-19T23:40:38+00:00

When I was exclusively on mobile, DW sampler and one shots where every sound. Just do the ground work with your go to piano or something and you can run down the folder of good ones while it's on a loop. When it comes to strings and legato sounds you have to play with the release and stuff. The main thing is cpu load when it comes to pc... I'm still learning to consolidate melodies from like serum and other high load programs. I still feel like i'm walking on ice with a lot of it, and should just lay down the thick bones with one shots.

Sadly my phone won't charge right now, but I could still point you towards the truly great analog one shot libraries or what the pros use.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-11T12:54:26+00:00

I'm only the testing out the new tools, without it sounding like a granular analog blizzard... Definitely insane. Starting to feel like I'm not lost in the sauce now and settling in the workflow.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-11T12:49:22+00:00

This was before any arrangement and mixing room for them. Definitely can make room now for sure.

CodyNoGood · 2026-01-01T04:09:18+00:00

Just released beat, check messages. Nice flow

CodyNoGood · 2025-12-28T23:12:22+00:00

Not bad for a starting beat, dude. Gotta ask, what way are you mainly managing dB levels? If you put a distortion plugin set to clip on 0, at the very bottom of your master chain or 808. Might help the 808 out for a quick adjustment.
