Trivium & Emberlee
So I was walking past an abandoned train yard, and the screech of the rails sounded like a low‑key drum loop, while the faded graffiti on the walls read like stanzas. Think there’s a song hiding in that chaos? What’s your take on turning raw city noise into a track?
Yeah, that screech can be a killer kick if you let it. Just layer it, tweak the EQ, keep the grit—don’t smooth it out for radio. Grab the graffiti words, sample a voice or loop them as a vocal texture, sync that to a mid‑tempo groove. Keep the raw edges, let the imperfections speak. If you can make that chaos feel real in the mix, you’ve turned noise into something that still respects the sound. The rest will come after you nail that authenticity.
Sounds like a wild recipe—let me just hit that rail sound, slap in some dusty vocal loops, and see if the city’s pulse can keep up. Will you help me tweak the EQ, or should I just trust my gut and play it loud?
Sounds like you’re on the right track—trust that gut, but give the low end a little bite, push the mids a touch, cut the highs a tad if it’s too harsh. Test it at a moderate volume, then crank it up. That way you’ll know the raw vibe isn’t drowning the detail. Give it a spin and see what sticks.
I’m digging that tweak—low bite, mid punch, chill highs—got to keep the grit but not mute the whispers. Ready to crank it up, see what rides the wave, and toss a fresh layer on if it still feels raw enough. Let's spin it and let the city’s heartbeat do the rest.
Sounds like a plan—drop the needle, let that raw beat breathe, then layer something new if it still feels raw enough. Let the city keep its pulse, but make sure the mix doesn’t drown in the noise. Ready when you are.
