Nice tips. "Mutes" is one of my favorites, I think no other trick gets such bang for the buck for such little effort. Literally all you have to do is take out a group of instruments for a bar, then let them come back in, and BAM you instantly have one of the most powerful, hard-hitting parts of your song/beat. Don't do it too much though - especially within one song - or it gets predictable (like all production tricks)

[@lifedecoded9842]

To make a beat like this even bigger I'd recommend taking another ambience, stereo separating it, add some reverb with like 30-40% dry, add some midrange PP delay & sidechain it slightly with the kick. Gives the effect of the kick punching into the mix

[@ServidaMusic]

That's so cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@Leabruh]

Bro thanks for that drub kit, i almost didnt even check it out because i thought it would be expensive. I appreciate the reasonable pricing on it. Just picked it up!

[@chimneyOWN3D]

I don't know if putting all these fills etc. is good, just because it can't distract a person while rapping, same with automations. Imho it all should've been done later, after we got vocals. That's how I feel, maybe I'm wrong. But when i hear beats on the internet, most of them are just "raw", not meaning they're not mixed, cuz they are. What I mean by this is that their beats doesn't have any special effects, automations, maybe sometimes some type of risers and that;s all. The rest is done later after recording vocals

[@ServidaMusic]

Yeah I totally get how you feel. But having all the effects done later will require individual stems which makes it usually 50-100$ more expensive. As opposed to buying a 30$ with effects that you can just slap vocals on top. A good rapper should be able to make those automatons and effects work anyway.

[@chimneyOWN3D]

Servida Music okay I got your point. Thanks for responding

[@KaizerMan]

If any rapper finds it difficult with that they can literally just record with a metronome. All a rap verse needs to be is in time to work with any specific beat really

[@ServidaMusic]

Great point, probably not as fun though
