Yeah, Id put everything further back except bass and drums, it will give the drums more prominence.

drums and bass are sounding a lot better, but i think you put the other instruments too far back now. What are you using to monitor your mixes?

Its always good to use shitty old speakers for referencing a mix to see how well the lows translate. But that said the mix needs to be done on at least decent headphones, preferably monitors. You cant mix what you cant hear.

If you are working on a Mac AirPod Pros are damn good to use if you have them.

sounds a lot more better and acceptable.
some things are a little too loud.

do you have a compressor on your mixbus?

trying to figure why it all sounds so kind 'quiet' no matter how loud i turn it up

 

[Iron Keys]

nice vibes.
oop it just changed up, to like some gungey stuff, squelchcore. i like the squelch tho.

Would be dope to take that melody and do do something slightly different with it. the squelch.

them hats sound tinnnnnnnnyyyyy af tho, dunno if it's soundcloud or the mix.

maybe, i used to feel sometimes after my 'masters' that my tracks sounded somehow quiet. i actually think it was the compressor.

If the PC is bluetooth capable it should.

whats a good pair ?

after messing with our new Beyerdynamic DT990's, Id highly recommend them, cheaper than airpods too.

I have a BeyerDynamic DT770 and must say they are not completely 'flat'. But the high's are very crisp and they're great for the sub frequencies, where my monitors lack.

Did you try both? Is there a big difference between open and closed back, or is it just a matter of preference?

Keep in mind you also have to buy an audio interface when you get a pair of monitors and/or headphones.

By the way I got my download of HANDCLAP!!

Thank you, my man! I hope you enjoy it.
If you have any questions / feedback / bug reports / feature requests / etc., just let me know. I'm here to help, and I value all suggestions on how to improve the software.
Also, if you want, you can let me know where you post the videos that you make with Handclaps and I'll gladly check them out. I love seeing what people create with the app..

ok went back and listened to it and now I understand what you mean. That was by design...when I make beats I don't try to make a song out of it anymore, I just put different variations together because it is the template I will use for a song later if needed. The artist would need to tell me what sound they want for the hook and the verse.

Ah, I see. This completely changes how to listen to your beats. I like your approach and I think it makes sense as it provides a lot of flexibility to the artist.

Here's another thing to consider: When you put out a beat demo file as you did on this forum, it's essentially an "ad" for the full beat that you can make for them. The better the transitions between different parts are, the more trust the artist is going to have that the full beat is going to turn out awesome.

I already have Sennheiser HD280's, they are closed back. I got them to work at home where there might be some background noise outside. But after hearing the DT990's semi open back I think, Im really impressed with how they sound, the highs are so crisp. Tempted to buy a pair for myself.
