Do you ever make it up to north LA? I have a somewhat big job on a small piano for my studio.

Invariably the reference track has less bass than I've been mixing with. Its almost a ritual at this point, the last step is to walk over to the bass amp (currently acting as a subwoofer) and turn it up so I can turn down the bass in the track and make it reasonable.

I use reference audio (ideally something VERY successful which sounds similar) and make a note of how the EQ visualizer looks (usually the line is slightly lower in treble than bass) and then try to match that. I've never actually seen a flat reference, they always have higher bass than treble.

I have a particularly involved job with an upright piano in North Hollywood for you. I forget what they are called but a few of the little springy things got popped out of place during a move. I think the entire action assembly needs to come out.

That's a really logical pedal board. I would probably set it up in the exact same order except I tend to like compressors after distortion, although you probably have it there to help the pog? Great layout, logical choices. I need more JHS pedals.

Rappers use techniques like putting the stressed syllable just before the beat (on the last available subdivision) to make the message feel urgent, or it could be just behind on the first subdivision after the beat to make the message feel laid back. Similar tricks with triplets/duplets #musictheory

Music theory, a subject I am expert in, conforms to the music and not the other way around. We develop theories that attempt to explain why the music sounds the way it sounds to a particular audience.
For example, rap employs the use of "references" and rhythms which are a big part of theory

There is a very good reason they are your former friends, and not your friends who just needed a little extra information.
This reality is their deepest darkest fantasy that they never would admit to. Recent polls versus actual votes show just how wide the gap can be between reporting and reality.
