Beat This! Competition - May 29-30, 2024
There's 3 or 4 I can see winning (including mine), depends how people hearing 'em. Couple of 'em would be absolute gold with a slightly better mix.- Iron Keys

Anyone want their beat mixed?
Appreciate you both. Maybe I'll re investigate and see what was going on there. How would you both describe the drums in my mix if not boombappy? Curious if too weak too this too that etc Maybe making the kick too low had this effect -
Anyone want their beat mixed?
Stock EQ is fine... Just boost with a medium Q and sweep until you hear sound that don't feel important but it's just kinda there, usually around thay 300-900 range. If you're hearing a bunch of mess there that isn't contributing to the main sound cut it a little. Also subtle boosts higher up... -

Anyone want their beat mixed?
DISCLAIMER: I actually appreciate you guys having thrown me some challenging material - really makes me have to dig into both my skillset and creativity to find ways to resolve mix issues; this is going to serve me very well; gives me new ideas of how I can implement these techniques, as well as... -
Anyone want their beat mixed?
So, out of all the beats I've received so far, Fade's was by far the easiest to mix. This is down to 3 main reasons... 1: the sounds were all pretty clean and straight up; I didn't have to do any rescue work, free to process them as I want. 2: sound selection; I probably could have just turned... -

Anyone want their beat mixed?
Definitely the biggest thing I noticed and best advice I could give to most is; You need to make sure your early production choices and sound selection are on point. Make sure you get your initial sounds and balances right. If you're working with drum loops or breaks, may be worth really... -
Anyone want their beat mixed?
Initial thoughts are that it does not sound necesaarily 'thin', I myself have this concern/reflection sometimes that my own stuff sounded thin. My initial idea of _why_ your mix may sound thin, is lack of any real up-front and centre element. Whether that's the drums or something else. It all... -

He does that. I think I beat him this one but then got beat by Arvin. It's like Wrestlemania or something in here Then Arvin was like whew got past Iron Keys final will be a walk in the park... then the Undertaker theme song came on and he's up against 2Good. No easy W.- Iron Keys

Warzone Beat Battle - May 24-25, 2024
Appreciate you. The occasional late snares were by design. I'm a big fan of 'em. I'm gonna have another listen when I've forgotten about this beat, as nothing was jumping out at me - I'll see if they feel wonky to me- Iron Keys

Warzone Beat Battle - May 24-25, 2024
These are actual high fatality Warzones... Imagine you come up against Arvin, you get through that, then you have to go up against Iron Keys, then you somehow manage to get past that and now you're up against Delta and 2Good.. Fade... Where's the humanity?! These new illiens going to get...- Iron Keys

Thanks brother. This new stage of my mix journey almost feels like starting from scratch but equipped with the knowledge to really drive forward. Feel like I'm gaining something each mix that I do; whether that's the way I'm hearing and using reverb differently, or getting my low end to...- Iron Keys

Only had a quick glimpse at the final beats but could tell was Arvin and 2G... initial thought was either was worthy winner. Only listening out of phone speaker, but great beats guys. I wasn't sure about my beat, but this is my highest Warzone placement without winning. Love.- Iron Keys
