as part of my summer 2024 project, i'm trying to learn how to dj. today i made the most diabolical like downright atrocious mix i've ever heard but in the process of trying to get the app to dj i got 2 months free of apple music. and now i'm hearing sounds in songs i thought i KNEW like the back of my hand which makes them feel like i'm listening for the first time.

Not sure why I didn’t learn how to do this earlier. My music taste slaps - it feels like I’ve spent my entire life compiling an extensive music library, and it’s finally getting put to good use, gracing more than just the ears of me and my friends. You’re welcome.

I’m still early on making music — but this is it:
I️ played like drums in middle school and then fell out of like “performing“ until adulthood when I️ decided to start DJ-ing. I️ loved that so much I️ was like I️ feel like I️ can make my own things like 6 months ago and I’ve just been making small shitty 2 minute things for myself every day.
For me it’s kinda meditative? Like usually no one hears the songs I am making (besides my partner) but it’s really just for me. No clue if any of them will ever reach a record or be on Spotify, but I️ feel like it’s making me greater appreciate music in general.

after compiling my tracks and getting ready for a gig i'm doing this saturday (at a houseparty - im "DJing" too - meaning im subjecting everyone to the album it's my life by talk talk), i've realised i have about 15 tracks or so. album recording time? yes indeed!
on my digital 8-track, where each track is in mono, my setup was originally thus:
tracks 1-2: 3ds (yes i use a DS for music)
tracks 3-4: synth
track 5: vox (via boss voice fx pedal)
i ensured the 3ds and synth were in glorious stereo, but not the vox. bad idea. unfortunately i didn't know better, something something muddy mix something something don't mixdown stereo reverb effects to mono. i'm not an audio engineer, i'm an electrical engineer student who dropped out because every "job opportunity" is making weapons... i was in it for synths, come on now...
i've removed the vox tracks on stuff ive put them on so far (about 6/15 tracks), and i'm going to redo them again in glorious stereo (tracks 5-6) when i'm ready... awesome 😎
