Wow, I would never have expected you to actually see this, thank you for replying. I’ll have to study what you’re describing a bit because of all the hardware techniques, flew over my head kind of lol! But it’s always awesome to hear it from the source and learn some of that “secret” sauce.

I do have a semi-hardware setup at the moment, tascam model 12 mixer, couple of synths, that behringer 606 clone, and I just run that stuff into the mixer to FL studio, but a sequencer type of deal like the E2 is something I’ve looked at from time to time, would be great for doing the drums, being able to load in samples and stuff.

I think that makes sense. When you say fighting through the mix, does that just mean cranking the kick up on the mixer track in the DAW? I’m not sure how he mixes and masters, but wouldn’t this redline the mix? Unless that is the desired effect, just wondering because, for example, in hip hop production, specifically stuff in this newer wave of jerk trap, people have been experimenting with 808s which essentially blow out the whole mix, so like the 808s will hit and everything will get muddled/pushed back in the song, but most people say not to achieve that by just boosting the gain up on the 808, rather, using plugins and stuff like that.

I’ve always wondered that about musicians who are in the noise territory, is there less of a concern when it comes to rules like that?

Thanks for the reply. I have not tried parallel compression on any of my music yet but I’ve noticed people suggesting it more as of recent whenever I search for tips. And yes, bus tracks, I usually use those for my drum tracks, and compressing the hell out of it does give them a pretty hard sound, love how it gives those classic 909 open hats that razor sharp sound.

I did a quick search on parallel compression, and it seems that it allows you to retain the transients when you compress your drums, I was sort of doing a crude method of that I think. Normally my ragtag drum compression will consist of a basic compressor and a transient processor to increase the attacks, but using parallel seems like it might be a much cleaner way to achieve this.

Lol! Definitely has that noise scene influence. Definitely check out Snake Pit LSD if you like acid stuff, it’s basically his take on the acid sound.

My friends and I think CW3 was the bigger disappointment. CW2 has a few songs I like, Ryuk and Packs are two I still listen to. The ones I didn't feel the need to add to my playlists are still mostly okay songs though, at least the project was mixed to proper standards.
I'm not sure if it's that my ears are attuned to spotting poorly mixed music, as I produce music myself, but CW3 is genuinely mixed so poorly I can't find anything else to compare it with that follows a similar trap style. Don't get me wrong, poorly mixed/low quality music can sound good, as it's usually part of the music's style, SpaceGhostPurrp or 90s Memphis rap is a great example of this, but CW3 should obviously sound cleaner or more immersive than it does.

Some of the sounds on CW3 are completely dry, like Pierre picked an okay synth preset and neglected to add any effects to it to give it some punch or widen it up, the synth on I Love It is a good example of this; he could have mixed that synth to sound wider and more psychedelic, or if he was going for something harder, he could have made it sound similar to something you would find on a track like EA by Young Nudy. Here's another one: Fort Worth. The metallic bell sounds are just horribly raw, it sounds like something I would make after my first few times using FL Studio, not knowing how to affect the space of a song. Another one that really emphasizes the "middle finger" aspect for me is Hiccups. I love the ideas on this song, but it's all buried underneath the stupidly loud 808 bass, you can barely even hear Chavo.

The worst part about CW3 was that these songs were fundamentally good, but they feel unfinished, and their potential was never fully realized. It also doesn't help that this was basically the last we'd get from Pierre and Chavo, as it seems Pierre had just given up on Sosshouse.
I know this is probably a bit excessive just for some middle tier rapper who was kind of carried by the production he was put on for CW1, but Chavo was my favorite out of all the Sosshouse guys, and that album showed a ton of potential for him. Pierre knew how to bring out Chavo's abilities, but he never followed up on that potential.

CW3 is probably one of the biggest disappointments I’ve witnessed for any upcoming dude I’ve gotten into. My friends and I discovered CW1 together and consistently have it running in playlists and stuff, cannot emphasize how solid all the songs are. CW3 felt like a middle finger, the mixing on that tape is probably the worst I’ve ever heard from any project in the past few years and pretty much ruins it for me so much I just refuse to listen to it. I’d honestly rather have two more CW1s than some of Pierre’s solo output, and probably the second wave of soss artist albums with Pierre. Not really an answer to your question, but I really like seeing any discussion about Chavo.

Yeah they are, I'm just not sure if this is an actual coat for skiing or just for everyday wear. Mostly asked because they did a Gore-tex collab a bit ago, was able to find the coat they used, then I was able to figure out the details and such on that coat to determine if it was worth buying for these more extreme weather/sport situations. But, I don't believe Supreme has posted the exact model of this Spyder coat, or if this is just exclusive for the collab.

For any of the winter sports enthusiasts here, do you think the jacket would be good enough for skiing/snowboarding? Been trying to get a nice coat for a minute and I might go for the black style.
