    LL Cool J ft Saweetie 'Proclivities' (DJ Excellence remix)

    Good vibes again. Kick feels a bit fluffy. Mix distorts a little in places, aint the worse tho. Great vocal placement. CAn nod to this Great work

    Any ATLiens? Where the Playaz Ball - Nzyte | Life in ATL Unfiltered

    This is a vibe. The mix could be a bit more pristine, and brighter. Feels a bit of a dusty quality. Was this a vox+2 track mix? The balance sounds good, and the vox sit well, but it feels a bit muffled. The mix sounds great beyond that.

    LL Cool J ft Eminem 'Murdergram Deux' (DJ Excellence remix)

    Beat with Hook - I Need Your Love

    The first few bars of intro started off nice for me, then it got a bit too gay (joyful), ...oh, Gospel? A great one for the church. Are these your chords and instrumental playing? The piano and chords are good, drums good too, that cinematic pop type drums. I'd probably get the bass/centre...

    Wasn't the semi final that we wanted, but it was one of the finals we wanted.

    i thought that beat sounded familiar, but also.... i didn't think it was the actual same beat, more to me i recognise that person's style. also another person made a similarish beat before. Maybe just has that timeless feel

    Mid 2000s/Timbaland Style Beat

    Has a fairly decent mix - at least sounds balanced and nothing out here causing offence. It doesn't quite hit the mark for me in terms of having that real Timbaland feel, but I can hear where and how that influence is being used. I think, in terms of the mix, the kick may have needed more...

    If I remember correctly I think I recall the clap/snare not being balanced or sat very well in the mix. Where I think the track that went out had a decent mix. Anyway. Is what it is

    I feel for track 21 - 22 it shouldn't have been.

    yeah, my phone/consumer checks are mostly like 'vote preparation' whilst I'm aware from my setup. Just to identify tracks I might want to look out for. but even after my consumer headphone listen, my views can change a fair bit on a proper monitoring setup

    Also on my first listen of round 1 I thought there were loads of bad mixes, but on second listen through probably was about half of the ones I thought were bad. But that could be because for the past week I had been intensely listening to reference mixes.

    Battle That! Competition - September 11-14, 2024

    Honestly, R1 results look pretty justified to me. I think 1 beat I voted for didn't progress, but when I listened back I think that was probably the right decision. There was also one bracket where I thought neither beat deserved to go through :LOL: but the one that did go thru has a much...

    Well I've even had times where I've done most my voting or listening on my consumer headphones, then check later on my monitors or whatnot and been like 'shit, those beats i thought were dope, are trash. Really poor' or like, just really lack whatever I liked about them. So yeah, depending on...

    Slate VSX For mixes/beats with poorly mixed high or low end I'm checking the translation too, to see how negatively this would affect them. This can further work against you. Someone had a nice low bass but you can barely pick it up. Definitely going missing on most systems. I'm also awarding...

    In some cases, if you're a good mix engineer, this could be an advantage if you've got your translation right. Tho I knew a few great tracks that really lacked on lesser playback systems. But yeah the issue here can be, if you've got someone with a basic ear, listening back on a less than...
