I'll take you up on this if the offer still stands @Iron Keys.
Mixing is the part of beatmaking that I struggle with the most.
Just have to figure out how to track out stems from my SP as I currently do all of my mixing (poorly) in that box.
I know it's do-able, just haven't done it.

Nice!

Interesting so far I've had...
- Whatever funky style Jimulacrums was
- 2000s NY mixtape
- Boom Bap
- (and now) Trap
- [got one coming up with vocals]

Completing the set... do I yell out BINGO! ?

Thanks..

Damn, nice variety - it's got to be fun to work with. Im excited for my final mix and learning from the process too. There was some dissonance in it n i couldn't figure out how to change that. I was even thinking about switching out some instruments, but was worried that it change the overall sound. So, your help with the mix is much appreciated.



N lol yelling bingo would get our attention.. we'd be able to hear u for sure

seems there's more gym and post than working though. I've heard dusty guitars and drums can cast a spell on you. perhaps it was the purple monkey I heard last night upstairs.

The Purple Space Chimp is a mischievous critter.

You'll have to take issue with Mister Fade as he dangled his trackouts in front of me and I was playing with them til the early hours.

I also was tempted to try mix your track again but slightly different and see the outcome.

I have more time tonight, so hopefully will get across yours, Fades and another. Mixes are otherwise done.

Nice beat man. Mix sounds alright too!

Thanks, brother. I mix in Studio One 4.6 (before this past week), and was mixing on Alesis M1 Mk2 Monitors. Rarely I would cross reference on headphones.
Now I'm mixing on Studio One 6 using VSX headphones.
Plugins are a bunch of things I've acquired over the years, stock stuff, PA mostly.

Yeah this beat of yours is really good, the arrangement and the changeup. Mix decent too. Drum pattern/bounce is nice. Tell me about your process on this one...

well, yes. this is an older one of mine that I still love and would love to hear mixed properly. Here are the stems/trackouts + some mix notes on what I was trying to accomplish: //https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RzqZdEMd6tusxCD2eY3XZ-2SeA6_gEEE/view?usp=sharing

(get rid of the first 2 "//" it kept showing as media).

Looking forward to what you do with it my friend with the purple monkey avatar.

So on this one, I decided to be a cool cat and give stem separation a try. I was listening to music while working and came across this song:

and fucking loved it. so I chopped my fav sections that I could hear into a beat, separated the melodics from the vocals, and then rearranged while I was making a puzzle in the playlist, so it's a mix of looping + layering + stem separation. a couple small chops in there (the "yeahhh" to support the transients in some parts). Drums is a break I have plus my supporting hi hats, percussion, overheads, drum fills.

I wanted to apply a progress-like sound so I focused on building up when creating the song arrangement + drums, leading to the ending. The ending is the guitar solo chopped. One layer is the solo rebalanced to bring out the bass, another is the solo with a high pass extra wide w/ verb to give the ambience.

when mixing I routed the individual channels to groups, groups to bus's, bus to master, and same approach with the FX running to an FX bus.
