thank you! <3

okeyy! :)

thank you!

hey! im good, thank you!:) How about you? could you describe what do you mean exactly? do you mean the sidechain thing? if you mean sidechain then it's all about making room (in volume) for kick when it plays with bass + to add rythm to the sample. You can achieve this with compressors/limiters and other plugins but i just prefer fruity balance cause its more convenient for me:) I also made a video about sidechaining if you're interested!

@@macjbeats Very good, Macj,Thanks! Yes, it's about sidechain. Ohhhh, okay, I undertand it... Thanks! I'm going to watch de video, very thanks! Have a good day nnD

haha hell yeah! thats the sample:)

Fr though, I just try shit out and see what works

I always overthink stuff. In reality a lot of it is just “It sound good? Good! That’s it.”

sounds like an idea:) I'll try to come up with something!

Haha thank you for the kind words! I don't teach people privately, but if you have any questions you can either mail me on macjbeats@gmail.com or instagram @macjbeats! I usually try to help out my subscribers with music production so feel free to hit me up!

Yes! I always throw on a quick master with Ozone 9. However it could be easily done with some limiters and stuff. You can check out my video on mastering for more info! czcams.com/video/GKxHkBNNKc0/video.html

@@macjbeats thank you very much man!!! Your music is very very cool ❤️

thank you! I appreciate that!

Hi! Yes, I sidechain the sample, bass and sometimes other elements like vinyl noise (not necessary) to the kick. Firstly its because it creates this so called 'umph' effect, this cool ducking sound in volume which makes beat more bouncy. Secondly, it fixes potential issues with distortion when kick (bass frequencies) clash with bass (bass frequencies as well). In lofi this distortion problem doesnt happen often, since its a chill type of music, with not much big bass and kicks, but sometimes it happens especially in the mastering/mixing parts. Hope it helped!

thank you!

The whole album!

thank you for the kind words! yeaa i've been experimenting now with a bit higher tempos, feel like 75-80 bpm is the sweet spot for me haha

You can check my mastering video, if it wont work then I can try and explain it more in details

good tea, fruit one if im correct:)

@@macjbeats thanks😊im going to try it

@@macjbeats is good tea the name of the tea?

@@s1lver5 hmm im not sure. I think it wasn't that tea (I bought it a typical Polish shop hah), but yk most of them taste the same so any fruit tea (like raspberry tea or strawberry tea (my favourites i guess hah) or any fruit tea) will taste the same no matter the name of the producent hah:)

@@macjbeats oky

for about 1.5 year hah, although i've been making music for 5-6 years now! thank you!

thank you! Happy Easter to you too! :)

hey I don't really use distrokid, but it's fairly simple, there is plenty of tutorials on youtube and I haven't used it in a while tbh, as I release with labels (they release for me). I try to stay consistent and have 1 release per week or per two weeks. Depends on how much beats I've sent to labels:)

Cool, I’ve built a library and I don’t know how to go about releasing my stuff. What would you recommend brother? When I started a couple years ago I was releasing trash stuff on CZcams with no cares. One song got 25000 views but you can tell I was a noob. Now I think I’m ready 👍

@@Wren_The_Ten you can check out my video about releasing beats. I put a label sheet in the description with a some label information. I would suggest you to actually send your music to labels, check out if they have any opened beat tapes submissions (check their instagrams) and basically release as much music as possible. I tried to release beats every week last year and it worked out pretty well :))

Thanks bro I’m looking into this 👌

@@andicxzy check out the description in video about releasing music on spotify, there is a label sheet with all the info about labels i've released with

thank you!

thank you!

thank you for the kind words! if you want to see and hear some in-depth explanations and learn more on how to make such beats make sure to join my livestream this week on saturday (all the info will be on community tab)!

Thank you! I'll post information on community tab on Friday or Saturday!

@@macjbeats Cool buddy! Hopefully see you there, I have a football game to watch, you know 😅 but hopefully I can make it....

Thank you for the kind words! Tbh I have no idea where I found that sample from, I made videos about sample digging, so you can check em out! It's probably from archive.org or youtube ;)
