@SangoBeats These drums so crazy man I had to learn , big respect Sango

What humans have done with string instruments is enough for me to feel like humanity is worth saving, but we’re on extremely thin ice

@natemixing Interesting, do I understand you right — you’re sidechaining the low mids of vocals to duck when the bass plays?? Or vice versa

🎚️ Ways to fight muddiness You probably know that muddiness usually lives in the low midrange area (200-500 hz). How can you remove muddiness without making your mix weak? • Cut very carefully, if you hear that muddiness is gone completely but some sounds (even at some moments) became weak, use one of the next methods. • Spectral dynamic processing. Dynamic EQ or plugins like soothe2. • Multiband compression. Also very important thing is to compress the low mids on less important sounds sidechained from most important sounds. I usually compress melody and vocals separately, sidechained from bass. It doesn’t matter if it’s an 808, or bass guitar, or whatever. If you have a dominant sound in low mids, free up some space for it. You don’t want to cut the low mids everywhere because it will make your sounds weak and without a “body”. Better to make your mix move and replace the low mids at each moment with the sound that is playing, using the series of sidechains. Giving the preference to more important sounds (in the low mid area) in each moment. You should understand that importance in the low mid area isn't equal to importance as a whole. For example, vocals in the song are most likely the most important sound overall, but they are not as important in the low mids as bass. You should give preference to bass. But the rest of the melody, if there is no more low instruments, can be sidechained from vocals, and vocals have the preference over them. These sidechain relations will make your mix much cleaner. A good practice is to cut low mids on reverbs, and possibly on a master channel, very gently. @natemixing

@John_Liberator Man that would be incredible

Just putting it out there, but I'd love to do a regular column about drum breaks/breakbeats for a publication. Each edition focused on a single break, gives background on its recording, it's use in hip-hop and DJ culture etc. Each break with its own narrative history.

@CFCCentral3 FT: Fulham 1, Chels 0. 33 crosses delivered

1) Chelsea haven't won a game this season in which they've delivered 20+ crosses (5L, 2D.) 2) Chelsea have lost to Fulham only twice in the past 24 meetings. Once during Jose Mourinho's first spell in 2006. The other, exactly one year to the day of the game (Jan 13th, 2023.)
