Producer's Starter Pack

it’s portamento not portmanteau

I just went with what the spell check said.

anybody made a track where only the sub is mono and the rest is panned?

could definitely work on paper

oh sorry didnt mean to quote

Not always panned, but I pretty much never have anything else being completely mono except sub.

Yeah no Ive never done it myself

but it could mean the bi´ggest bass ever if it was done carefully

Its actually weird it hasnt been tried out or like that we know one tune that does this

super formula tbh

Dubstep masterclasses:



Acid still looks like crap.

acid looks awesome imo

here’s a more in depth rip off of the rusko masterclass

Reason stock drums = win :disappointed:

I seriously dont agree that theres a strong connection with knowing what the effects are meant to do and what people we respect as producers, use them for

most technical audio stuff relates to old ideas of recording in a studio

its not a case of learning how its done and then applying yourself on top afterwards. never.
thats just a longer journey than just picking something up

its what you think that camelphat plug with too many features does when you fiddle it a bit

So, you’re saying don’t read the manual, because it makes you a worse producer. Nice rationalisation of laziness there.

I do think reading manuals is largely moist tbh. If you don’t know how it works, why the hell did you get it in the first place loool

To get a certain result? That’s like asking why did you get a vacuum cleaner when you don’t know how it works.

Why’d you get a vacuum cleaner at all?
