    Mixing advice? Speakers(monitors) vs headphones

    Going to need a better description of "hollow" When you listen to commercial tracks in your headphone and then on your speakers... do they also sound hollow? If your mixes sound hollow on your speakers, but commercial mixes sound fine then; - it's either a problem with your headphone response...

    Sounds like we had a pretty similar experience! See you in a year we'll get our beats made :LOL:

    Was a software issue. Restarted system and it worked again.

    My apologies, illienz. Failed to get this one done. Generally I decided Christmas theme is not for me. However, I decided I will go for it, Had a real cool base idea, the Sleighs were slaying, the bells were jingling. Didn't have much time to get to it, started trying to work some cool...

    What WAS your typical setup?

    I remember on some lite version of cubase, using those earpad type earphones, I remember producing with one ear pad on, and thinking the pan knob was making the kick more powerful. When I finally put my other earpiece on, that's how I learnt what panning was.

    Workflow (some setup, gear, subscriptions etc)

    Great fucking post, Hosie!!! Yes, groove is majorly important. Moreso than many will even immediately understand - me included until recently. Well I did, but understand with a bit more clarity. How you're producing sounds like exactly how I want to be! I've not managed to set up a nice smooth...

    I like my beats like I like my women; beautifully mixed, with a well-rounded low-end!

    Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024

    So these matchups were; @Earsblower vs @TWU @Leopard Cohen vs @PhxAZTracMaster I voted for TWU and Leopard Cohen, 'cause those tracks had that gritty aggressive feel, the beats carried a lot of that emotion; and it just happened to be that the mood i was feeling at that time was for those...

    Congrats @Mike Chief After R1 listening back, I don't think your mix was as bad as initially thought. I also think the overall vibe of the beat is just so strong it outweighs any deficiencies in the mix --- so fully deserved. I voted for it in every round since. Where was the sample from?

    Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024

    Thanks, brother. Well my beat got beat by the winner, so there ya go! But honestly I wasn't really feeling my beat, there was things I liked about it and things I didn't. Wouldn't have fancied it against a bunch of other beats... despite winning the rest of my match ups.

    I guess it could indeed be. I believe Slate is leading the way in this arena though. VSX has a bunch of rooms, and diff speakers in each. I'm forever trying to decide on my 'main' room. But I noticed an issue a couple times recently with the results im getting from the one i've been using...

    Niiiice, Yeah that's the way, man. I'm using Slate VSX, really fucking great as a translation tool. Even if I'm making/mixing in one room, I might start going to other rooms and realise there was a massive issue that sounded normal. Then you resolve. Good to have a bunch of playback devices...

    I'm assuming your beat was the EDM beat... based on your comment the other day about submitting a Dub Corn Hyper trap Pony Dildo Wave beat or something. This is a Hip Hop site, so generally if something leans too far into edm territory it won't get the votes. Outside of that, I thought it was...

    Warzone Beat Battle - December 3-7, 2024

    The winning brackets on the West conference, two (x2) extremely hard to choose between beats. The odder thing, are that the matchups in style are identical in both brackets --- my mood was leaning a certain way today, which led to me choosing that style in both matchups. Side note for east...
