    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    @Jimulacrum The EQ I applied to your snare... Take me back a year ago, I would have had anxiety applying that kind of cut to that frequency range of a snare! But we learn and we grow. Please note the eq cut and the output gain. IRON TIP: if a sound like this snare 'needs more lows'...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    Really cool beat, really cool music and sounds. I fuck with this. Other than your drums needing a little rescuing - I employed a similar approach to what I did on Dusty's beat - refer to the DRUMS feedback I gave him, very similar. Only different thing here, is I boosted the low on the kick to...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    So, was really excited to approach this one, as I love the whole NY mixtape scene and early 2000s era. So first thing I needed to address was those DRUMS - like you requested, and as I'd expect. So they were really lacking some weight and punch and as you know, we really want that kick punching...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    In this mix, first thing I needed to do was just get a nice balance between all the elements. As it's a sparse mix, really important to get the balance right so it sounds cohesive, and make sure it tickles all the right parts of the freq range. In your initial mix, the hat was too loud - I...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    So far in this mix thread journey... My initial observation on why some of you may struggle with your mixes; Source sounds. - pick good and 'right' sounds Some of those sounds were so rough to work with, it takes some real effort to get them to sound good --- before you even think about mixing...

    I voted for @TWU The other beats I feel should have been top 5/win were @K-waz @SwayeeBoogie @SJAMBOK BEATS @Primz @Iron Keys Also I was spot on with Arvin's beat and Jimulucrum. (Tho had two that could have been Arvs. And the other beats were indeed made up by the other names I...

    IK Multimedia Master Match

    I seem to have account with those guys but can't remember my password and the password reset link is bugging. Might have to do it the old fashion way! I also have ozone, but not sure my version does the master match nonsense. Never used my ozone.

    Hi I’m TONES

    It's happened to a lot of people the "20-21" type naming can throw you off. Usually you have to about 8pm ET to get it uploaded on the first day of those numbers. Don't sweat tho... Beat This comes around every two weeks so you'll be into it soon enough!

    After mixing @Jimulacrum 's beat, I feel like I can tell which one his is based on the style. Hoping I'm right. Think I've also identified a bunch that could be Sway/2G/Arvin and maybe Kwaz If I'm right, erm... bonus points?

    Voted. Real tasty beats in there. Hard to pick a clear cut winner. In the end voted for which just felt like I'd naturally vibe to - proper full rounded feel. I think there's like 5 beats I'd say deserve to be in the placements.

    It's next up on my conveyor belt delivered to my dungeon where my big bassy knob will really open up your low end. You won't ever be able to enjoy another mix again

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    HA FUCK SAKE My initial thought on your beat - "oh this is quite uptempo, nah i can fuck with that tho, got some real energy to it." I should have maybe clocked something when i said "lemme check the tempo for this --- oh 120, same tempo as page default" --- As my Studio One is a fresh...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    Nice beat man. Mix sounds alright too! Thanks, brother. I mix in Studio One 4.6 (before this past week), and was mixing on Alesis M1 Mk2 Monitors. Rarely I would cross reference on headphones. Now I'm mixing on Studio One 6 using VSX headphones. Plugins are a bunch of things I've acquired over...
