The reason I ask is that my pair of Sony MDR-7506's are notably bass-shy and treble-happy. Since I haven't yet acquired a sub woofer,
my Event ASP8's probably aren't telling me the whole story, so to speak. In addition, my room doesn't have any bass trapping, which I believe might also contribute. What's more, only the top four tracks on my page were made during this year (in fact, those four were made during the last week). The rest of my tracks were created 2+ years ago, in a different time, place, and state of mind. I'm ramping up to a new level in my ambition. I will be working towards obtaining a physical piano, now that I'm in my new home, and I'll be hiring a teacher. Perhaps, then I might be able to knock out the tunes you want to hear.
I fancy myself technical, yes. I've assisted in the studio with a Grammy award-winning mixing engineer, at his request. I'm not kidding myself on the musical talent aspect. What I make is not orthodox. So, it's all good if the composition is not all that. I'm laid back. I follow my bliss, and I track that riff that other people throw away. I know how talent works; sometimes it's just accidental. I've previously put mixing before composition. You have reversed that about me. Thank you. I will continue my unorthodoxy, though.
If I'm having trouble with my mixing, I welcome the help, as this is the "MP3 Mixing Clinic". Comments about my composition are encouraged as well, but I, as an artist of my own christening, reserve the right to stand by my style -- boring, repetitive, shy-of-low-frequency-instrumentation, or otherwise. Hip Hop is a culture, not a music. Furthermore, I want to shake off "genre", as it is a shroud for most musicians.
Early in my composition/mixing journey (look at my join date, and subtract some years), my mixes were so bass heavy that I trembled at the thought of taking them to the car. Now my mixes are too bright in places, and weak in some of the low frequencies. I'm learning, which is why I started this thread, hence the title. It's also not as if I track and mix my own personal muses at Electric Lady Land or Abbey Road.
My preference, however, is to rack up friends, skills, mentors, peers, and apprentices... If you look at my track record here, you will see that. I really appreciate your apology, and it means a lot coming from someone so communicative, and I'd love to do all I can to be a good peer to you. Unfortunately, though, I feel burned by your posts, and I'm having trouble reconciling your previous opinion to that of late. Therefore, you are a peer to me, not a mentor.
To be frank, I feel that you have been somewhat of a compositional snob. Were I following in the footsteps of your genre, or you following mine, perhaps we might see more eye to eye, and then you can hear what you want to hear.
Your objectivity is priceless, and there are snobs all kinds. I want to be galvanized here, rather than elsewhere. So, please just say what you want and get it out. Just don't expect me to listen.
Thank you all for your time... It's always real, even on the Internet.
