Where can I find artists to work with outside of "Type Beats"?

I've been producing for about 3 years. My beats are finally good enough that i'm confident people will be willing to use them if i can find people and network with artists. I have been uploading "---- Type Beat" videos to youtube and getting a few hundred views and people saying "tuff" in the comments but that's not the goal. I want to message artists and have communication to a level that it's more than just someone putting a comment under a yt vid.

Are there discord communities or any way at all for this to happen? Thanks.

Trappn’

Why does everyone label their EDM as trap? If you go to looperman & set the genre to trap, 8 out of every 10 loops sound more like techno than trap. The vast majority of every preset bank available is nothing but analog synths & fast arps that don’t belong in trap beats. What did I miss?

Underground Rap

Does anyone have any specific tips for mixing and sound design for the underground sound? I can arrange and compose just fine as I’m a guitarist in a band, I know music theory!

I’m more stuck on how they get those layers to sound good or how the 808 is really distorted and almost sitting in the front of the mix. I use Logic Pro and don’t have a very in depth practical knowledge of mixing but any help is appreciated!

What do you guys actually use services like Splice or wavs for?

I'm 14, been making trap beats for 2 years. I use Splice sometimes but honestly it feels like it was built for sync placements more than for trap producers. The library is huge but finding something that doesn't sound like it's already common is difficult.

I've been thinking about making my own service and I genuinely want to understand what producers actually need from a service like this?

  • What do you actually use Splice for?
  • Do you upload your loops to splice or any other website? And do you get paid for it
  • If something better existed, what would make you actually open it instead of Splice out of habit?

I've been looking for the Memphis equivalent of SpaceGhostPurrp for 2 years — finally found something close

Most trap production pulls from one of two lineages: the ASAP/cloud rap era or

the Brazilian phonk wave that blew up on TikTok. But there's a weird third lane

that almost nobody talks about anymore — that raw Memphis underground production

(Three 6 Mafia, DJ Squeeky, early Project Pat era) mixed with lo-fi textures

and early 2010s swag attitude. Not the drift phonk. The other thing.

Been digging through SoundCloud and small Spotify labels for months and found a

handful of producers actually working in that space. Put together a playlist:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/48jXpqGQxaTGgX23sPfx8l

(Artists: Towa, Zwe1hvndxr, lykia, cloudz, prodz.Otosan)

Who else is making this? Drop names or SoundCloud links — I'm trying to

understand if this is actually a genre or if I'm just obsessed with one very

specific sound.

Beat Battle

existe algum site tipo “beat battle” onde você compete online com outras pessoas, mas, ao invés de produzir beats na verdade você rimaria em um instrumental e votaria ao final quem se saiu melhor rimando naquele beat?

How to time stretch oneshots properly on FL

So I mainly use vst’s to get my sounds but I’ve started using oneshots to broaden my sound selection. What I don’t understand is let’s say I have a bass oneshot that pulsates on time on the default C5 but as I bring it up or down the scale it now doesn’t pulsate on time and it’s offbeat. If I use the stretch feature on the oneshot it just sounds weird and off. What’s the correct method for this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is bottlenecking my sound selection atm
