Hi guys i've just uploaded a short clip of a hiphop/rap instrumental am working on that am using to practice on how to mix. Its at the Community -> members music section, the instrumental is called "Trial".

Its just fresh from the sequencer. I would like comments on how the instrumental sounds, whether or not the instruments are sitting well in the mix,have i eq'ed well, did i compress the individual instruments well.... and any other comment/tips that will help me improve on this art of mixing.

Also note that nothing in the mastering process has been done to it.

Seems like you're off to a good start :)

I'd bring the keyboard organ thing down a bit though. It's kinda taking over the mix.

If by keyboard organ thing, keith means the lead synth, I would agree. Yeah, the lead synth is a bit loud compared to the rest of the mix. Other than that, I'd like to hear the snare come through a little louder, though this might not be as much of an issue once you bring down the lead synth a bit.

But it sounds pretty clean. Good work.

Yep, I gotta agree on the loudness thing as well. Bring that down and you'll probly take care of the snare issue.

Sounds like you have a pretty good start on the piece, I'll be curious to see were you go with it.
