u should check out Braille and Seafloor if u dont know their shyzsch

braille is in sepalcure with machine drum but is more melodic

seafloor is kind like jai paul, but more like snes-16bit trashy, than sidechain funk trashy

not to sound all snobby audio engineer about it but I’ve noticed a LOT of people don’t seem to understand that audio file/streaming data compression is a completely different thing from volume dynamic compression when talking about digital audio quality

in reference to what ?

like streaming for example, youtube or spotify etc. people thinking their “compression” is dynamic compression. like I read someone give the advice once that if you turn the volume down on youtube and turn it up on your speakers to compensate it will be “less compressed”. anyway I dont have that many examples lol but its come up a few times.

also heard people wondering if zipping audio files is a problem for the audio quality although thats kind of different

The ultimate truhed sound design move would be to submit your tune to a DJ who then plays it on Rinse, so you can resample it with the worlds worst radio compression. Really get that hollow plastic tube feel to your tracks

I’ve recently had to admit using basically any processing on trap 808s makes them worse

Feel like life has no meaning now

I was tempted to buy that hardware 808 reissue but have been waiting for the 909 which is finally about here.
