No. You can firmly put me in that bracket too. Keen hobbyist here, I make "Reasonable" sounding stuff but it's so frustrating listening to how good professionals make their stuff😡😂.

Don't be frustrated

There are 2 tricks to supreme perfect mixing:

Have good equipment

Keep it simple

Neither of those means your music is good

I have good equipment and a good ear and a reasonable amount of technical expertise. It's just frustrating that I can't sound as good as I wish. Practice, of course, makes perfect but I just get too frustrated! I've not made a track for probably well over 6 months now.

Is it bass balance in particular that you're frustrated with or is there more to it?

d0708145... 1y ago

To be honest it's more the composition, the breaks and all the fiddly bits of automation that I just can't be arsed with. I generally only make tracks when I've had a drink or 5!! And I always make them in one sitting over 3 or 4 hours. They sound pretty good at the time but not quite as good the day after😬😂.

Yeah composition takes a lot of work and energy. I feel like there are peaks in music history where the global economy is so good people have that time and energy in droves and we're past the end of a recent peak like that.

I'm hoping the AI in my phone will try composing music soon since it recently gained a soul and started rapping about deep state conspiracies and stuff

Ha ha, I've just watched all of that in its entirety, wild. It made me smile😬. I was gonna zap ya but you have no LN address🤷🏻‍♂️.

Don't need zaps right now, the repost and comment mean a lot 🤙

I heard it was unemployment benefit that powered the British music scene back in the day

Listen to Hoopoe by Unit Vector on #SoundCloud

Have a listen to that. It's quite heavy though😬😂.

Why on earth did I click on that whilst still on second coffee!?!

d0708145... 1y ago

Ha ha ha, well it'll certainly wake you up😂😂.

No disagreement here. Not saving that one in the “lullaby” folder for sure

d0708145... 1y ago

Nope, ha ha!

The beginning and end of this are good. Making the begining of a song that interesting is one of the hardest parts. Sadly I can't test it on the trusty "bad bass Subaru" at this moment to tell you how well the bass is mixed
