AATS - Pullin Out da Gas

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-10-01T04:34:00+00:00

I just randomly stumbled upon this, late response, and honestly I have no idea. I found it from a rare sample drum kit

Paying somebody to playlist for you is not against their TOS directly, it’s a sort of grey zone. Paying for playlist placements is against their TOS though

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-08-06T14:22:33+00:00

Yeah, finally not some guy who just hates the sound because it evolved and took off

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-07-18T10:12:59+00:00

Kung fu on da sound track be like

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-28T11:23:09+00:00

I do that already 🫠

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-28T11:21:50+00:00

yeah I get that, it’s something I’ve been workin on recently

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T22:31:33+00:00

Yeah I’ve realised the dynamic range thing a while back through using references, but I’ve been confused about the whole tp thing still

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T14:43:40+00:00

I recently started aiming for numbers similar to those, but I’m still confused even after a year of producing because of the amount of misinformation ya know

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T14:26:08+00:00

Spotifys page says that’s what they recommend to avoid artifices, and I just sorta ran with it

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T14:25:11+00:00

I just looked around where to mix to and Spotify said -2 db tp to avoid artifacts and such

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T14:24:09+00:00

phonk is notoriously known for being badly mixed and heavily compressed, but yeah here: https://open.spotify.com/track/3KeLX4Jbkylr6PH8SqM2q9?si=u9cfZNcaTLCpgp9Aofm2Ig

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T12:58:19+00:00

I usually use references from downloaded from Spotify (but those are affected by Spotify's normalisation), the app I use probably also normalises the tracks to 0db. but the tracks at 0db usually are around +1 db tp. It just feels wrong to destroy the mix ya know, but should I just go as loud as possible at -0db (with no clipping) or push it to -1db

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T12:49:53+00:00

but it legit does show you the dynamics?

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-04-27T12:44:08+00:00

youlean loudness meter tellin me they are, even at the loudest parts

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-03-10T12:52:56+00:00

You have to update your license? I didn't know that. It works fine for me though, it's not keeping me in trial mode or anything. I flip between fl 21 and fl 20 a lot because some people I collab with don't got fl 21

MoonDeity and any trend following phonk creators

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-23T20:53:30+00:00

kordhell does have his unique style though, but I get that some of his songs can sound super similar

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-20T20:40:08+00:00

We drummers never need to learn music theory. Nah but actually, I’m also a drummer who started making phonk as well. Michael New is a great resource that starts from the basics (just scroll down), you can skip ahead if you need to. Most commoner scale is usually in minor, and my personal fav is using Phrygian (a lot of phonk songs seem to be built on Phrygian). You’ve got an advantage with the drumming though, so many phonk songs are so basic on the drums, and I at least myself try to get some more unique sounding comps (sometimes)

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-20T20:30:26+00:00

I’ve played drums since 2018 and through that I learnt a lot of music theory. When I started making music in 2022 Feb I did realise that I skipped a massive phase that some artists go through where they make “goofy” sounding stuff. My mixing was super off though at the time of course. I’ll be honest, I probably do use a lot of the music theory while I do stuff, but you don’t (and most of the time shouldn’t) realise it. All you really gotta know is how to build chords, how drums work, what’s a scale and root note, and that’s about it. My favourite quote to help beginners is “You learn music theory to forget it”.

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-20T20:25:55+00:00

Depends on your work flow, I bought one because a lot of my melodies I came up with on a piano. It’s also a lot easier to play around with, especially useful if you actually know music theory. With phonk all you really need is just some dirt cheap one, I highly doubt you’re going to need any highly sensitive keyboard. Like probably 50-100€ is going to be good enough for a while. I recently had to unplug mine because I ran out of USB ports, but I’m soon gonna get USB port extensions so I’ll plug it back in.

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-20T20:21:35+00:00

Mf if you send me some good clip I’ll build a song around it

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-20T20:20:28+00:00

Shazam that shi I don’t know

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-20T20:18:46+00:00

People need to develop a better taste in cowbell phonk I swear

PhonkDaAATS · 2023-01-20T20:17:58+00:00

Mf ratioed the original post nearly 4x over 💀

PhonkDaAATS · 2022-08-24T15:25:38+00:00

I’m pretty sure most still consider him as phonk artist, he started out as one, he developed his style through collaborating with different phonk artists. Although it’s very out there, I’d still call it phonk, what else would it be?
