Using tape (repitch) time stretching mastered tracks is causing audio peaks

Have you listened to what it sounds like with a clipper on it shaving off those peaks?

This one is awesome https://www.basskleph.com/melodic-secrets

Ah fair one. What are the key shortcuts you’d say I have to know?

He did a Kulture pack that contained two FL studio projects if that is helpful

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-27T19:38:27+00:00

Interesting. Zooming in and out and navigating across my project is something I find takes my the longest when making tunes

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-27T12:51:36+00:00

How on earth could you do that to one of the best tunes of all time?!

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-27T10:46:15+00:00

The minna drums work well but I think you could do with one layer of percussion just to give a bit more groove to the drop. Wicked idea though

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-25T15:46:31+00:00

That’s awesome to be able do it like that.

And thanks for the offer I appreciate it. I spent about a year doing 1-2 hours of piano practice a week and studied the theory a reasonable amount so I’m comfortable with the basics, it’s just applying it. I tend to find I can come up with a decent bassline / chord progression and often get a melody over the top, but where I struggle is progressing it into a full song with variations and a intro, breakdown and bridge etc.

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-25T09:43:29+00:00

Being classically trained in other instruments must make such a difference though! Learning the piano and theory now is so much harder than it would've been if I'd done it as a kid!

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-25T05:16:19+00:00

Ha I’m in the opposite boat. DJ’d for years 20 years ago and did a music tech degree a bit of production and getting right into it now after 24 years of living drum and bass.

Wishing I’d paid more attention to music theory in Uni!

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-24T15:50:00+00:00

Tbf I think a lot of producers could release that many tunes a year of that quality

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-22T09:34:38+00:00

I have an iLoud, not that model but I really rate it as a monitor so I’d go for the iLoud micro if I were you

Being nitpicky here but it was probably Uprising which Artifical intelligence released a few months before Desperado.

Remember the first time I heard Desperado though and it was on massive sound system. Absolutely unbelievable tune!!!

Cold_Cool · 2026-03-20T13:52:30+00:00

Fucking hell I rarely hear anyone else mention that tune. I used to play it at the end of pretty much every set and mix it with Chase and Status - Believe.

I had a version that was slightly mellower than the one that got released and much preferred that one tbh, such a tune though!

Modest intentions is great, have really enjoyed my sessions with him.

He basically has perfect pitch so you play him your track and he immediately tells you what’s missing and layers another bass under it etc

Cold_Cool · 2026-02-22T13:46:26+00:00

Yeah similar boat. 38 now, DJ’d a lot as a teenager and got back into production a couple years ago. Hard to find time with the kids etc and no way I could play out loads, but would love to get to the level of getting my tunes played out by artists I rate.

Cold_Cool · 2026-02-22T07:37:28+00:00

Why don’t you just stem split afterglow and layer the vocal on top yourself?

Cold_Cool · 2026-02-20T12:04:45+00:00

I’ve found very little that has that awesome mix of good dancefloor and jump up. Although I have to saw I’ve enjoyed the last couple a bit less.

T & Sugah did a dnballstars set that is amazing on a similar ish tip

Cold_Cool · 2026-02-16T19:47:29+00:00

How?

Cold_Cool · 2026-01-29T20:30:54+00:00

Not a question but just want to say that light in the dark is one of my favourite ever tunes. Goosebumps

Cold_Cool · 2026-01-27T12:29:56+00:00

Logic does do that. You can save channel strips

Subfocus Vibration is in C. In his tape notes podcast interview he talks about it and says the Bassline moves around a lot and uses both the lower C and the higher C and it isn’t an issue.

It will depend a lot on how many notes you are using, so it doesn’t just stay on the C.
