🎚️ Aight y’all, it’s check-in time at the Church of Funk and Frequency ⛪
look here mane .. ya boy just cooked up 6 tracks, all mixed, mastered, and seasoned to taste together they bake down to 12 minutes and 22 seconds (**updated**) of straight audio soul food .. i ain’t up here actin’ like i’m quincy jones’ illegitimate nephew or nothin’, but i did put some elbow grease in this gumbo .. from the kicks to the keys, every knob been twisted with intention, every fader moved like i owed it rent 💸

now here’s the real; i need ears that ain’t just pretty .. i need ears that practice .. not folks out here listenin’ through micky deez drive thru speakers, but folks who know they signal chain 🎤 from they chicken chain 🐔

give me the truth .. if the low end too muddy, say it .. if the mix got more glue than elmer’s, holler at me .. if it slap so hard it made your baby mama drop her phone; testify .. don’t hold back 😤 i want the cold cuts, not the deli smiles .. i’m out here tryna tighten up like a sunday hat before communion. 💒

so slide through, press play, and throw that feedback like a brick through my studio window 🧱 we buildin’ character out here - brick by brick and bar by bar 💯🔥💎

🎤 peace, love, and compressors with character.

Did you [produce and mix] all these tracks?

#1 sounds balanced just a bit crashy on the snare/clap/hit. Nice beat. #2 OK overall. #3 lots of upper mid clashing- I'm afraid there would be little room for vocs that wway, #4 Sound is balanced but uneventful. This is the least produced so far,- not much to it (those horns don't slap, #5 underproduced- box sounds least fave so far, #6 Interesting ideas.. Drum sound is too predictable imo... Overall, you seem capable of making beats.. the sounds seem typical ITB sounds... I would like to hear you make more of the sounds in the grooves by fu$%ing w them- make them your own. Overall this is an example of quantity over quality, I'm afraid. You got confidence but I recommend diving deeper into sound selection and manipulation! Cheers and thanks for sharing!
