Anyone on here interested to chat?

Anyone here interested to chat and maybe eventually collab? We could send over stems, midi files, collaborate on melodies too. Would be especially interested if you are from the UK or US but doesnt have to be limited to that, and also people in their 20-s or early 30s since it is closer to my age group. I use to spend a lot of time in the US including places like New York, Florida, New Jersey, Kansas, Pennsylvania etc, but at that time I was not really into producing music as much as now.

I would prefer a dm if interested instead of replying to the post as I am a blind producer and Reddit is not the most accesible application.

Please someone can help me with a LUFS problem?

I've been reading forums on Reddit for months and watching hours of videos on YouTube normalization for LUFS but still, despite continuous tests, once loaded my beats continue to sound lower than the others, I even found a beat that has the same percentage of normalization of mine but the difference is abysmal. Please help me.

What medium is used to get paid for your beats typically?

Hey yall,

I have someone on SoundCloud offering to pay me $500 upfront to use one of my beats in an add. Assuming this is a scam, as the person in question asked for my cell phone number and told me his client “will pay me through her direct deposit”

I was just wondering, how do people normally get paid for their work? What medium is used to transact the money?

How many people use formulas for their beats?

Who else uses some type of formula/guideline for making different types of beats, I am thinking of making some sort of sheet for myself of just a bunch of formulas I can use whenever I don’t feel motivated or feel off. An example would be for something like a detroit beat (yes i know this is a trap sub) melody-countermelody-bells-bass-hats-snare-808. Of course its not strict and everything can be interchanged but just a guide to help.

I am making an app rn

hey soo first of all I hope this doesn't count as self promotion lol
if so I take the shots

as the title suggests I am currently in the process of developing a new app which basically is like tinder for beats.
Artists can swipe on beats if they like it or not. Thats basically the whole idea lol but I have so much more planned for this app

the app is still in development so you cannot test it right now.
The reason I am posting here is to find some people that are interested in the project because I am trying to build a community and gather as much feedback in the early stages as possible

Being an early adopter will also get you some benefits which I don't wanna get into now

If your interested just shoot me a DM or find it urself on socials (just watch the video literally)

It would mean a lot to me since I am doing everything by myself. Thank you so much for taking your time and reading this!!!

EDIT: I just noticed the video didn't upload lmao so here is a screenshot

Do youtube producers who have their own drumkits make their own sounds?

I see some producers on youtube doing tutorials, and they have sounds they are using from "their own drumkit"...are all of these producers truly making their own sounds from scratch and putting them in their drumkits, or are they just a compilation of sounds they found from different drumkits curated into a group of the ones they like, and just slapping their name on it as "their own"???

What is the difference between a stashkit and drumkit?

When producers have drumkits/stashkits that they use and they have their own name on it like for example "prodtrap drumkit," is it usually all their own originally made sounds? or have they just compiled a bunch of sounds they like from other soundkits and made "their own drumkit"?

Or is a stashkit when it is just a compilation of different sounds they liked from other drumkits, while a drumkit may be their own originally produced sounds?

I see some producers who have sounds from other drumkits I have seen, yet it is labelled as part of their own kits sometimes...I am just confused lol

Anyone else have days where they just can’t come up with anything

The past two days for me have been completely unproductive music related, I sit down in front of FL and I can’t come up with anything to put down, like my mind is completely fogged. Anyone have any tips? Its super demotivating because I really want to get better and I have a goal of making at least one beat per day and I hate when I can’t do that.

Selling beats: Question on lease/stream

So I’m curious..I’m just now learning about how selling beats work. Selling a lease allows artists a certain number of streams before they either have to re-lease or purchase exclusive..

My question is what is usually the norm for the amount of streams allowed per lease? I understand that it’s completely up to producer and it varies. But I’d like to know what the general range of streams allowed per lease is for typical mid level producers.

Snare/Clap Placement

So normally you place your snare or clap on 2&4th beats (or 3&7 when using halftime) but are there examples of popular songs or hip hop genres where you have different placements?

A site like looperman but not royalty-free

Is there a site like looperman but not royalty-free? I’m tryna get my loops out there but prefer to be credited for the work if it gets a placement though. I do not need to own any percentage of royalties. It would be just nice to get credited to get my name out there.

Bass notes

This is going to sound like a stupid question but genuinely I need help. I have a great selection for sound and a pretty good at making my own sounds from scratch. Obviously collaboration is a huge thing in this industry and getting loops from other producers can open doors to opportunities and just making great music overall. I have all these great ideas for samples but just can’t be confident in my 808s being in the right key as sample + loops people send to me. How did you guys get a hang of getting your 808s perfectly matching the bass notes of your samples and loops?

Do you guys have Producer friends?

First dont get me wrong i dont need anyone to keep my passion for Music(cookin since 2020) but from time to time it kinda sucks that i dont know anyone who is also Producing, i have a good friend who is rapping so he kinda knows what im talking about but im missing those more in depth conversations or just cooking up a beat together / teaching each other new stuff, i alredy know that there are producer Discord and stuff like that but its kinda overwhelming since im more a introvert person to join a random discord channel with 5+ people in it... so how do guys met your producer friend if you have one?

(sry for my english im a native german speaker)

BeatStars and Pay Pal ERROR

Hello guys. Need your help.

People can't buy my beats on BeatStars. When they try, they get the error "Things don't appear to be working at the moment." I figured out the first problem. The reason was that my PayPal account was created in a country where PayPal has restrictions.

Now I created a PayPal account in the US (through my relative). Naturally, I made it a business account. Filled everything out. But still nothing works, the error remains.

What could be the problem? Maybe I didn't set everything up in PayPal completely?

I really hope for your help
