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.

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

Jan 04, 2008 06:02 pm 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.

Jan 05, 2008 07:29 pm 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.
