the way a beat is mixed is always a factor in the voting, its a technical factor and all these factors should be taken into consideration when voting, a good or bad mix can be the deciding factor between two beats that there is nothing else to decide between them.
sounds like a good way to give feedback on specifics, but implementing it could be a mathematical or programming nightmare for fade.
maybe sliders from 1 to 10 for a specific aspect, like originality, technical quality and mix quality, break it down. Could be a good way to decide battles too, just means more work hahahahaha, fade doesnt like more work
it would certainly be more helpful to us contestants so we get something constructive from it and can see where our weaknesses are to be able to address them
I hope you all used your votes wisely!
.. I give EVERYONE props who submitted.. Its kind of nerve racking to know you're gonna be going up against other producers....but that's also what makes it fun! And besides - this is Hip Hop - it was built on trying to be the best one out of your peers who do the same thing you do, just like an emcee would... Just my two cents .. Again though - it's all love!"You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness! " - In every beat this post at the very beginning.RE the mix/master argument... I'ma keep brief I don't wanna derail or go back n forth too much,
Beatmaker/producer, mixing and mastering. They're worlds apart. Should I be voting for who i think is the best mix engineer?? Or who makes the "loudest" beat? Or what I think is the best beatmaker/beat of this round??
Reality, most producers/beatmakers shit is mixed by someone else, and mastered by someone else. And if you had a big release, so would yours.
I'm not discrediting mixing/mastering - sick skill to have, I wish I was a master of that shit myself. But know what you're here for.
Peace/Love
LOL so you just skip the mixing part. Why? It literally says mixing skills is in the criteria.
at the end of the day everybody votes however the fuck they like, thats where the subjective part comes into it. But the guidelines are there, I as a producer who would like to one day have the full package every one of those aspects matter to me personally. We are all different and each to their own, it is what it is. The real world. And Im producing out of my single room with headphones, an interface and a midi controller. Its not what you have, its how you use it.
