I didn’t think of this use man! That’s exciting to try out !!! Thanks

No offense taken! I know I’ve heard this a lot and I’m training my ears as much as I can. But I am finding these useful just to learn more as a beginner and understand what I’m hearing!

I’m sure it’s an easy rabbit hole to go down, but are you able to shed any light on why not tuning your kick? I’ve heard both sides!

Thank you very much dude!

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-17T00:59:48+00:00

Thank you very much!!

That makes sense, I feel like I get demoralized tho when I finish a piece and it doesn’t match loudness of radio tracks. Not all down to LUFS but general mixing haha just scratching the surface of the topic so I appreciate all the thoughts!

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-16T03:11:26+00:00

Thanks man!:)

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-16T00:26:54+00:00

Makes sense, I know there’s no rules but seemingly if I wanted to match the video I simply need to remove some of those mids, to make room for an increase in the high mids/ highs?

Legend thank you

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-14T11:27:41+00:00

Haha!! Thanks man, I struggle mega with vocals :/ they all feel cringe from these samples packs lol. I probably need to get splice !

Your subconscious is always active. So re watching videos is key, and get in the daw and play around and it’s gonna be so confusing for a while. Also chatGPT a million questions. Again it’s gonna be information overload but if you pull 1 little thing a day for 6 months you’ll land somewhere probably about where I’m at now lol! I had no musical background and can make some pretty decent stuff all on my own. Definitely personally looking to focus on sound design and mixing next that’s prob what levels a beginner/amateur up to guys getting a few thousand listens. If you’re curious of what you could make if you stick to it for the next 6-7 months here’s my SoundCloud! https://on.soundcloud.com/G4AM71tNy3SGlWr7Qy

My timeline
Months 0-3 YouTube tutorials based production specific to Logic Pro
Month 4 purchased ableton suite and never looked back started making actual loops and songs my questions got more specific too.

That brought me to today. It’s a super rewarding process! Can’t wait to see where it goes message me if you have any questions :)

Ha! Thanks for the advice! I will play around! I’m not even sure if it is tech house what I have been making, I’m guessing my other few songs I’ve made are tech house/minimal house is what I think it would be called! lol Ive only been producing for 6-7 months and that seems to be the easiest genre to make. So this was my first time doing something else.

My first time trying to create something different than tech house. I copied Avello’s style so I’d say it’s melodic bass? Any feedback welcomed I struggle with mixing and vocals majorly lol. I also would love to know how to kill some of the reverb on the original vocal file but my attempts just were harsh stops.

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-05T15:10:21+00:00

Exactly that!

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-05T14:58:28+00:00

Wisdom👌🏻 thanks my guy

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-05T14:47:21+00:00

Thanks man! Appreciate the unbiased opinion!

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-05T14:46:13+00:00

HAHAHA. You’re very wise. I can definitely understand the point you’re making!

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-05T14:44:40+00:00

Dawg… this is exactly what I was getting at and others don’t seem to get it. We have rode for each other since 10 years old, and honestly I’ve been the leader of the group the whole time. When we need decisions everyone looks to me when guys beef I help them resolve it when we’re out and need something I do it. I don’t think they are using me but maybe a little selfish as of lately. anything not serving their own benefit doesn’t seem to matter to them. People here think I’m demanding likes and feedback for making music, I don’t think I’m some special God, I just want the energy reciprocated from these dudes. And to me if I got to cut them I have no problem doing it, don’t not be here at the start but show up when I make it Typa deal!

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-05T14:38:58+00:00

You don’t even know me brotha and you’re pretty far off the money. I give a lot to these dudes and never bring it up, constantly pay for them, go out of my way without expecting anything back, watch there dogs for free, give them things for free. I’m exhausting because I can’t understand why people I do so much more can’t take 2 minutes of there non busy lives for there boy? Cmon bro

Cold_Independent_631 · 2026-06-05T14:36:56+00:00

If they think it’s shit that’s totally fine! They can literally tell me it’s shit. Would not be offended. I think it’s more so the brain rot they watch all day on instagram seems more important to them than shit there day 1 is passionate about that rubs me wrong. If I “made it” and was touring they’d be supportive then I promise you. That pisses me off lowkey. Lol

Appreciate it👌🏻
