sweet sweet vindication... I have a track coming out on a compilation on a well respected dnb label, being mastered by one of the 'best in the business' and I got the master back (which sounded overblown and terrible) pointed that out. The label boss said they are the best, etc. Eventually sent it back. Msg from Mastering Engineer "im so so sorry, had an 8db double linked chain on it, was overblown to FUCK" and I get a big apology from label boss lol. 15 years and I still get questioned π
@JGNWYRK yeah, was perfect. I'm a big fan of the guy and his work which is why I was like "no way this right..." got the new version already, sent direct rather than through the label for us to give the thumbs up π
@lilyunsub Outstanding. Its fun to see your hard work pay off.
@JGNWYRK @redenigma @formica in 10 years of writing, mixing, mastering and releasing dnb... this is the first time I've had feedback like this. Its incredibly hard to gauge if you're at the level you believe you are without external validation like this.. so this feels great π
@lilyunsub validation is great!
@lilyunsub how could you possibly know anything? You're a GIRL! π
You said the magic words - dnb - I'm checking out "Four Degrees" now. Do you press vinyl? When's the track in question being released?
@formica I loooove dnb, we've got so much of it coming out this year, been making it for a fair few of them. and ikr?! girls dont make dnb?! especially not for a DECADE lol. We haven't pressed vinyl yet, got pretty close before the C hit but planning to end of the year/early next via bandcamp most likely. Track in question will be out on Korsakov next month I believe as part of their Future Allstars compilation. track called Pure Heart Dirty Mind, because then people will find our label π β€οΈ
@formica such an irony, I was taught by some of the best in the business (T Power, Dominic Owen, Rob Sparx)
@lilyunsub I think I know more women into dnb in my DJ circles than dudes, actually π€ I'm mostly a liquid guy, but I'm not super strict about labels, I like tracks that good and shakes booties. And move my sub π
I'll pick up Four Degrees and do a mix with it this week. it's been a while since I did dnb. Most all of my club work is 80s and disco/disco house. Dnb is the province of forest parties for me π²π²πΆππΊπ΅π²π²
@formica this makes me happy in more ways than one! To me dnb is the closest energy to what we normally run at and there is so little of it with feminine energy that we literally had to make full sets of it ourselves to be able to play the energy we wanted to. Happy to send a few more chunes your ways if you'd like too β€οΈ
@lilyunsub that's what you get for being female...
@redenigma wouldn't have it any other way though... guys cant do what we do π β€οΈ
@lilyunsub way to stand your ground. Did the do-over meet your expectations?
