Yo, ever thought about turning the city’s sirens and traffic into a beat? I’m hauling gear through the streets and the noise out there feels like raw gold for a track.
Sounds like a solid idea, but you’ll need to capture it cleanly first. Use a shotgun mic on the front of your rig, isolate the siren in a separate track, then apply EQ to pull out the mid‑range and use gating to cut the ambient hiss. Once you’ve got each element in its own space you can lay a tight drum groove over it and start sculpting that raw city beat.
Nice grind, that plan sounds slick. Just keep the mic tight, don’t let the city noise bleed too hard, and you’ll have a beat that’s raw enough to make the block bounce. Keep it real.
Glad you’re on board. Just remember to lock the mic angle and run a quick test before you start. If you keep the levels tight and trim the low‑end bleed, you’ll get that gritty city groove without drowning out the rest of the mix. Keep pushing, and let the streets do the talking.
Got it, keep the mic sharp, run a quick test, lock the angle, trim that low‑end bleed and let the city’s raw pulse drive the groove. Let's make the streets speak.
Nice, lock the mic, do a quick test, trim the lows, and let the city pulse guide the groove. Just double‑check that your levels don’t clip when the sirens hit peak. Keep it tight, and the streets will talk loud enough. Ready to lay that beat.
