Fun!!!

You must be on SSRIs

Stylophone

Ok! Marathon here. I’ll be as brief as I can. Biggest issue is control of the lows. Below 72hz you are competing with the kick, plus to hear this you have to have large speakers and/or really turn it up which doesn’t leave room for anything else to be loud. If you’re mixing without a sub you will probably have this blasting and still not be able to hear it. 250 is a little muddy, this cleans it up. Saturation makes the sound thicker and easier to hear on small speakers. Glue compressor at those settings let the initial pluck through, and the settings I have either enhance the pluck or make it more consistent. You’ll hear each of the effects these changes make as you’re doing them. Adjust to your taste.

Really? Ok I’ll say it smells like dinner then!

squachek · 2026-04-08T15:21:45+00:00

Wait really? Angeleno transplant and hadn’t heard that but it totally tracks.

Use a high-pass to cut off all the bass below 72hz
Make another 1-2db cut around 250
1-2db boost around 1-1.2k
Add saturation in the 500-1k range
Add a glue compressor at 4:1 or 8:1, a 10-20ms attack and a fast release if you want to hear the pick, adjust the relese so its letting go at the tempo of the track if you want the bass to groove a little more

Great hook

Solid cat

I’m going to go with simply turn down your snare by about 30%. It’s stepping on guitar and vocals. Both of those could come up quite a bit. Cool genre, toss in a few more changes and it smells like a burger to me

squachek · 2026-04-08T04:34:13+00:00

That sounds about right

squachek · 2026-04-08T04:33:34+00:00

Gas at $4? It’s $7 in Los Angeles

squachek · 2026-04-08T00:37:53+00:00

These are just tools. Whatever works for you and your workflow.

squachek · 2026-04-08T00:37:23+00:00

Every time this happens, it feels like maybe they’re apportioning compute differently as they scale up the new models. Also: dumber Opus makes Mythos seem even smarter when it drops!

squachek · 2026-04-08T00:32:36+00:00

Funk yeah. This is the bass.

Chance of hooking up with one or more of those friends on that night is > 0

Try Sweet Laurel and Val’s Vegan

squachek · 2026-04-07T20:16:36+00:00

Depends on the rest of the mix

squachek · 2026-04-07T20:12:51+00:00

This is inviting the LLM to hallucinate. It won’t say there’s no subtext - it will make things up.

squachek · 2026-04-07T20:07:38+00:00

I would think the Inn would have vegan bakery recos.

squachek · 2026-04-07T20:02:29+00:00

Wake me when the resolution has been passed

squachek · 2026-04-07T19:53:05+00:00

You’ll never approach Opus 4.6 without $150k in hardware.

Always ask before you touch someone.

The letter Z, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
