I disagree completely, for several reasons. One, this isnt really exactly what the topis has been about. But really, it does matter. See, if you have a poorly mixed, no effects beat, when you play it for the mcee you are way less likely to get any interest. another thing is, often times the person who masters your beat will just take your effects to the next level, and correct the overall mix. they often use your effects as a guideline, and just reaaply them with higherquality apps, racks, etc. (depending on what you used on the OG beat.) Thirdly, mixing is a major part of making beats. Most mcees, unless you are selling to major label artists, dont have professional engineers at their beck and call. That means that they cant just get the beat mixed right away for them. In my beat selling process, i prefer to send them my mix to record over, and then when they get the beat mixed, ill send them a clean multiracked version. because recording to an unmixed beat sucks, and there is absolutely no point in having the artists label/engineer mix the beat before they record, and then again after. its just and extra step. SO it is important how well you mix your beats.... its a major skill. its also one of the main differentiations between mediocre beatmakers and Good beatmakers. for example, if you peep Crack City's mixes, their beats are nice, but their mixes ARE ALWAYS SOLID. Other people, with similiar beatmaking capabilities, sometimes seem less consistent because of their mixes sometimes being off. Thats why i never send any mcees beats before i mix them. I never let anyone hear any of my throwaway beats either. its the same prinicipal.
I dont really expect you to read all that, all i basically said was that mixing is important.
