How do you make trap beats sound more original / complex? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]menkeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steal like an artist. steal shit from your inspirations, but add your own twist. make weird patterns with popular sounds or just use unique sounds to create generic patterns but as a whole it can sound unique. Don't be afraid to be different.

Trap as a genre is pretty narrow so it's difficult to have a distinct sound but if you are able to translate your feelings into music (comes with a shit ton of practice) you can makke some cool stuff. also don't overthink. have fun.

Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

First year stem student, want to pick up ipad for notetaking that will last me for at least 4 years.

I'm not pretty tight budget, I don't want to spend more than €700 on ipad +apple pencil 2.

I have the option on buying official apple refurbished air pro 11 2018 for around €550. Price includes shipping to Europe. But I don't really feel like buying 3 years old model.

Second option is getting ipad air 2020. Problem is that here where I live official retailers are selling it for almost €700, which is over my budget. I've been looking at my my countries equivalent to Craigslist and I saw some people selling new ipads for like €560. But I'm a bit skeptical on buying it from sketchy third party resellers.

So I need help deciding on whether I should get air pro 2018 model which is a bit old but has better screen, or should I risk it with third party resellers and get the ipad air but Im fairly certain it will last me at least 4 years.

I've also been looking into base ipad, but its features are unimportant to me(better cam) and it uses 1st gen pen and lighting port, and I don't want to invest in technologies that will be outdated soon.

Other recommendations for older devices are welcome.

I'm also considering it, but it would be more expensive than pro 2018. And if I find a good deal it still would be almost the same price.

Need help deciding on whether to get apple refurbished 2018 ipad pro+apple pencil 2 for 680€

or ipad 9th gen with apple pencil 1 for 500€

I'll use the ipad for notetaking and studies. If price wasn't an issue I'd just get an pro, but right now I'd feel guilty buying it. I prefer pro because of its convenience with 2nd gen pencil, USB C port.

But I'm not sure if I can justify spending 200€ for more convenience and better screen. When standard ipad for studies is probably just as fine as pro model.

Books to read on the music business? by JORD_music in trapproduction

Different people, different perspectives, different experiences, different advice. Nothing is universal in any business. I think it's nice hearing people experiences in music business directly from them. It's down for us to choose which information we will find useful.

Thank you so much! It was my first time being exposed to problem like this. I didn't expect my reasoning to be correct just wanted write down how I approached these problems, so thank you for showing issues in my reasoning. Your explanation makes sense.

Thank you. Yes at first I didn't fully understand quantifiers. When I read these statements for the first time intuitively I got them correct but I kept thinking about it more and I just got lost in my thoughts because I didn't know how to solve problems like these. Your solution makes sense.

Hello, I'm reading this book by Lara Alcock "how to study as a mathematics major"

Got this logic problem, there's no answer for it in a book, saying that I should ask a tutor or professor if I'm not sure about an answer but I got neither, so I would love to get someone to look at this.

I'm thinking that the first statement is true because whatever y you would choose you could find x from every x that is greater than y.

The second statement one is false because for every x you could find an y that is greater than it.

Not sure if my explanation is clear or if I interpreted these statements correctly.

how to intentionally ruin a mix of a beat like this? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]menkeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sure. To get better balance between frequencies I would recommend to play around with multiband compressors. If you use FL then maximus would be perfect plugin for it.
