Amazing beat. The sample, the strings, the drums, vocals and switch ups are really fire. Only point is the loud vinyl crackle which is not matching the aesthetic of the beat imho.
I like it
Not sure why I have a reggae vibe from it. I mean those vocals and drum pattern kinda give me a vibe of a track that I would hear in some place where people would be smoking But in general nothing to add or change from my side. As @Kane the MOD wrote - amazing beat.

Decent beat man, really like it!
I compiled a list of basic steps with guide videos I found on youtube to help get the concepts and techniques across.p.s. any tips on your mastering approach? I like how loud it is (yet still clean). Gotta play the loudness war to stay competitive
Its not a simple process, but its not overly complicated either. just takes a bit of experience, knowing what to cut and when to cut it, and tuning your ears to hear things like compression, or resonant frequencies, frequencies clashing. The most complicated part is understanding compression, once you get your head around it, getting loud mixes becomes a whole lot easier, more so with clipping. But Id recommend learning compression and understanding it before just using clipping as compression is fundamental in loud mixes at various points down the mixing chain. Like glue compression on a drum bus, or taming the transients on kicks and snares. Controlling the peaks allows you to push things to sound louder, despite having lower peaks due to the compression or clipping, the further you push it the more distortion you introduce and the more you remove the transients, everything is a tradeoff, less is more, everything you add to the signal chain has the potential to colour the sound just by being in the signal chain.
Tutorials - 5 Basic Steps For A Better Mix
I have spent many years trying to get to grips with the art of mixing, and it's taken me a very long time to get there. I would like to present an article that should hopefully cover some of the basics to get you on your way to really improving the quality of your mixes. This article is about...
