https://soundcloud.com/nappy-rogers/wave-prod-nappy-rogers All in the box. Nothing special really going on. Kept the vocal up front as possible without having to break the mix. Preamp is cheap. Untreated room. All that other jazz. What do you guys think?

https://soundcloud.com/nappy-rogers/karma-prod-nappy-rogers I was going for an old sound with touches of new. thoughts?

So I'm up working on this track, and I made sure the kick drum came through the mix via eq while creating the instrumental, but after I laid the vocals down they all got in the way, so I bussed all the vox to a bus and cut where I boost the kick. THe kick was coming through where the lead vocal...

The title pretty much explains it. When I first started mixing music I didn't know what I was doing. I just applied different presets until it sounded right enough. These days I'm taking more control over my mixes, and it's been fun always achieving a solid mix. One thing that's always stumped...

Haven't posted in a while.. Here's a recent mix of mine tho.. https://soundcloud.com/nappy-rogers/silly-prod-nappy-rogers Pretty basic sound. Solid mix, but it's mine, so.. What do you guys think?

I've been searching all over the great lands of google, and have yet to find an answer for this question. I've been mixing a lot lately, and a lot of people say I shouldn't mix with my bass loud. This confuses me, because I listen to a lot of today's rap (for mixing purposes, I listen to the old...

https://soundcloud.com/braindeadbilly/prince-charmless-prod-nappy-rogers Ok, so for this mix I did nothing but gain stage, eq, and compression. A few vocal effects, but not too many. I usually like my bass really loud and in your face, but I figured I'd pull it back into the mix this time...

So yeah, this is a beat I made in FL Studios and mixed in Protools. There's a bit of high end rumble on the lead, as well as some clicking in the kick.. All problems I aim on fixing in the final mix, but what do you guys think of this version? I honestly think it sounds awesome! I boosted my...

This is just a rap track I put together. FL Studios 10 for the instruments, mixed everything in Audition CS6. I'm new to producing, so I'm not sure how mixing beats usually goes, but I tried. I'm looking for critique and suggestions...

https://soundcloud.com/thefayettevillain/rad-void Here's a beat I made today. I make my beats in FL 10, and mix them in Adobe Audition CS6 with select wave plugins (Mostly H-EQ, my Fav) and stock eq/comps. I plan on rapping over this for practice purposes.. I'd like for someone to tell me if...

https://soundcloud.com/thefayettevillain/hypomania Here's a track I just finished mixing today. Just used basic eq cuts/boosts, some comp, multiband on the master along with some overall eq (LinEQ), and a master limiter for loudness. I've been mixing for like.. hmmm, 4 months.. self taught...

Well, I've got nothing fancy to be honest. I've got a USB Samson G-Track for vocals, 2 pairs off headphones: Alphaline Open Back Monitor Headphones, and Closed Back Behringer HPS3000s. I mostly use the Behringers for tracking because they have that loud, in your face sound that I love to hear...

https://soundcloud.com/cantkillbill/marceline-prod-canis-major Here is a song I recorded, mixed, and mastered today.. I know you shouldn't jump right into the mastering phase, but I really wanted to show you guys something fresh. Let me know what you think, what can be improved? Mic: Samsom...

Eloo, I go by the Pseudonym "Billy". I used to really wanna be a rapper as a teen in High School, but I soon lost hope for that after I compared my cooledit vocals raped with presets to the songs on the radio. I set on a search for a studio... Found one.. invested money into it, got screwed...
