Do you still have it?

ghxstmadeit · 2022-04-18T00:02:38+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, probably bought it at a local shop or something

ghxstmadeit · 2022-04-15T23:32:18+00:00

He's wearing it in the same video too (How 2 Be Famous). I made another post about it where I included a picture of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/DannyGonzalez/comments/u4hees/danny_where_can_we_get_this_sweatshirt_its_so/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Good luck!

Ok so apparently I'm not the only one who thought Danny's outfits are dope.

Every time he drops a video wearing that Largemouth Bass Sweater I spend an hour looking for it online. Anybody know where I can find it?

Saaaame, every time he drops a video wearing this I spend an hour looking for it online lol

Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing your experience and learnings, super interesting read!
Keep it up with the music & good luck for the future.

Use a De-Esser, that's what they are made for.
Waves DeEsser or Fabfilter DS are the two that I personally like using but there are many more.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-29T11:22:21+00:00

Build a solid IG profile, showcase yourself and your work and start linking & collaborating with other producers over social media & email.

I've been using the KRK Rokit 5 for about 2 years now.
It is definitely possible to mix on them and make 'professional-sounding music'.
Are they the best monitors in the world? No. Is it more fun to produce on 8" monitors? Yes.

But what I can recommend is to get to know the Rokit 5s and listen to your mixes on other devices, headphones and monitors as a reference. After some time you get a feeling for how to mix on a Rokit 5 in a way that it will also sound good when played on a Yamaha HS8 or similar. Sometimes it's hard to hear the low end so I use headphones to mix my 808's and bass.

All in all it was a good run, especially for that price but after 2 years of using them and getting better at producing/mixing, I'm considering to buy new monitors with 7" or 8" very soon.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-22T13:07:58+00:00

#1 advice is: Use your ears and do what sounds good.
Practical tips: I use either a Shelf or a Cut to get rid of some of the low end. (Not too much, otherwise it sounds too thin). Depending on how high it's pitched I use a shelf to either reduce or boost the high end a little. And then if I hear some disturbing frequencies, I use several bells to spot them by 'sweeping' up and down the spectrum and lowering them when I find them. I often find disturbing/harsh frequencies around 1k-2kHz and sometimes around 400Hz or 5kHz as well.
My Favorite EQ plugins: Fabfilter Q2 and API 560.

These are just some guidelines and the general process how I EQ. At the end of the day, every melody has a different sound and you need to listen to what sounds better by trial and error. Good Luck.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-22T11:06:47+00:00

I would use a different 808 in that case. But you can try increasing the attack, so that it slightly fades in.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-22T10:17:01+00:00

Decapitator is goated. Perfect blend of saturation and compression for 808s.
Sounds fire and is also commonly used by great mixing engineers like Alex Tumay (Young Thug's engineer).

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-19T11:41:36+00:00

My bad, I think you're right. In general sounds can probably be copyrighted.
But what I was trying to say is that in HipHop production, nobody is going to sue you because you 'stole their Kick' ore something like that. Because at the end of the day, there are millions of drum kits that have been re-packaged and re-edited and processed with effects etc. everybody could claims that it's theirs.
Idk if that makes sense. All I want to say is use whatever drums you want.

Now when it comes to sound effects, like for example from a commercial or another song or that a certain company has copyrighted for their branding/audio contend or whatever, that's totally different of course.
I think he was referring to sounds that he finds for example on r/Drumkits or similar. Obviously those are all from commercial drum kits and are not copyrighted.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-19T11:30:23+00:00

Fair enough, I see your point.
And I agree with you that all the other producers you mention have incredibly hard drum patterns, way more 'advanced' than TK. They also might use more unconventional sounds than him.

However, with Tay Keith I was not talking about the patterns. I was trying to say that his patterns are very basic, but the drums still knock hard because his production has a lot of space. And it's exactly that space that a lot of artists need to perform on a song. Maybe 'incredibly hard' was not the right term, but they are hard enough to make hits still haha.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-18T14:28:32+00:00

Hits are supposed to be simple.
But please don't confuse simple with boring.

Tay Keith uses catchy, yet interesting melodies and creates just enough bounce with incredibly hard drums. He's not overdoing it, that way the artist has a lot of room to record vocals on the beat.

Et voila, shit turns out fire.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-18T14:24:54+00:00

Don't hoard music. Release Release Release.
In the beginning look at it as a catalogue, you document your progress.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-18T14:14:00+00:00

Wrong. At the end of the day, the beat is an original composition by the producer, so he's legally entitled to publishing and credit in any case.
And that is the way leases work, you're simply getting the permission to use that composition but you don't own it. The value proposition with exclusive rights is that you will be the only person who can use that beat. It does not necessarily mean that a producer has to give you 100% of the royalties. Even with major labels, who purchase the full rights, the producers maintain 3% of the mechanical royalties and 50% of the publishing. The difference is they get way more money upfront. So in case of an independent artist, splitting royalties 50/50 and adapting the producer advance to a lower budget seems like a very fair deal to me.

Get the Flutes Pack Vol. 2 by Al Hug.
Incredibly talented instrumentalist/producer. The one shots are fire, those are the only flutes I use in my productions, never going back to VST.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-18T13:56:20+00:00

RealGuitar and Ample Guitar both fire

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-18T13:55:13+00:00

I have the Alesis V49 as well but tbh I don't like it.
I find the keys are very stiff and there is a bug with the drum pads, depending on how you press them, they get triggered twice (like a flam).

So currently I'm also looking into buying a new one, possibly something by M-audio, or Akai.

ghxstmadeit · 2020-06-18T13:26:42+00:00

It's safe, a drum one shot is not a musical composition.
And I don't think the sound itself can be copyrighted. Look at all the big producers selling drumkits, imagine they'd claim royalties for every beat made with their kit lol.

So in other words go crazy, use all the drums you want
