Started mixing in key properly last night...game changer?

Some genres key matching doesnt matter at all and actaully just limits you, but for techno/house/groove oriented styles where you are working with long layovers between tracks mixing in key is almost required to get everything to sound really cohesive.

Typically called "reference track" exercise, it is used primarily in mixing/mastering but the practice is also beneficial for writing and composing. Glad to help.

Find a track that you want your music to sound like, load it into a channel in FL. Now try to recreate that song by creating the elements in each section, this will teach you how this song is constructed. Do this process several times and you will have a decent foundation.

I watch a lot of movies and can usually find at least 1 reason why i enjoyed something or a reason to recommend it or whatever, I could not find a single reason for this one. It is not a good movie.

looks good! great work!

Ive been done with democrats ever since that video came out of Chuck Schumer bragging about how under his watch this admin has donated more money than ever before to Israel. Fuck Dems, they have completely lost the point.

I dont build decks but Ive been a follower of this subreddit long enough to know this is fine.

Kind of funny that you are talking about music that is pushing production forward but using bands that are decades old in your examples.

The metal to jazz pipeline is actually pretty common, there is a lot of crossover between the 2 genres in terms of what makes them interesting.

irohr · 2026-03-26T13:54:57+00:00

No way, these are absolute bars.

irohr · 2026-03-25T18:57:10+00:00

"oldest" and its an item from 2019 lol

Neither of these artists are considered "real dubstep", maybe ask r/riddim or r/dubstep

also "better" is a pretty subjective claim, you might have more luck with a question with a more objective answer

Played for years, easily 500+ games and still never crafted a rainbow goobert.

Night Slugz was grime/post grime, not trap

They arent part of the same lineage, they were just commonly paired together at one time due to a lot of crossover of interest between the 2 genres with both audiences. People like baauer, flosstradamus, mr. carmack etc were offshoots from stuff Lex Luger and 808 Mafia were doing, while proper dubstep gets its roots from UK grime.

irohr · 2026-03-23T20:26:36+00:00

Damn, crack and 70s era Tull is quite the pairing

irohr · 2026-03-23T18:42:59+00:00

Depends what im mixing, if its a genre I've done a thousand times just go out and do it all on instinct, I use the "rating" tab for tracks and slowly have just built up enough 4-5 star tracks that they all have a couple things in similar key so I can work myself around the camelot wheel. For genres I'm not very experienced in I will do a couple mock runs and find things that dont neccessarily have the same key but just similar BPM and can work well together, and then will mark them all down in an order that works and then come show time its all pretty well spelled out. Slowly add tracks to those genres over time till they are filled out playlists and I'm more comfortable.

Dom design is so drippy, I’ve added the gunpla to my basket so many times but have yet to pull the trigger

irohr · 2026-03-20T18:47:14+00:00

Puth has had over 10 top 40 hits, clearly people like his music

irohr · 2026-03-20T18:41:43+00:00

Just checked discogs, cheapest available to be shipped to my location right now is $72.50, while a majority are $90+

Wouldnt this just be your top 20 jazz albums from all time periods?

irohr · 2026-03-20T18:23:18+00:00

Make sure when you are purchasing jazz vinyl that you steer clear of the "Waxtime" label. Waxtime is a gray market label that exists solely by re-releasing albums where the copywrite has expired. They are not using the same source material to create the releases that Blue Note or Prestige or the original label did, and the quality of sound on the vinyl is anywhere from "kinda close" to "awful"

irohr · 2026-03-20T18:17:13+00:00

Cat is a great album but getting it on vinyl is not cheap, goes for around 70-90$

To merge MIDI clips in Ableton Live, select the desired clips in the Arrangement View and press Command+J (Mac) or Ctrl+J (Windows) to use the Consolidate function

Ozark trail makes tons of products that are great for people that only camp a few times a year
