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?

his rap name is steph currypowder

i really didnt want to push the vocals so far forward, but that seems standard right now. i would have buried them, because i feel it'd show off the beat a bit more and create a more ambient feel. i centered most of the mix around the mid range area because it just feels fuller and more...

the mud may be because of the low end of that sample. i gotta figure out what to cut. i didn't even notice it. thanks for pointing it out!

TripleM what did you listen to it on, if you dont mind me asking. i only ask because of the crispness. i should tone down the sheen? THen again this isn't even the final mix, so we're not even listening to the same version anymore >_< *facepalm* THanks for the input btw!! i remember when i first...

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

Amazing post. Only my program cannot side chain :( . Adobe Audition 3.0 All Day. I also figured out how to make it work. I was boosting in the 300 range which really does nothing but wreck the kick (I legit thought that was the sound I wanted, but it didn't punch like I wanted it to, which led...

Hmm. I wanna suggest using a different colored compressor. The vocals do stand out a lot. Much clarity tho, so I don't think eq is your problem. I was expecting a muddy mix, but this sounds pretty darn good. I am no pro, but as I said before, maybe try fiddling with different compressors. Also...

Lmfao, yo I did not notice the date of this post!! This made me laugh.

Please post an example of your vocals. It would really help. I don't know what your voice sounds like, not sure what your mic sounds like, not sure how the plugins you're using are interacting with the signal. The information you provided in the post is good, but it's still better to post...

https://soundcloud.com/nappy-rogers/tucker-foley-prod-nappy-rogers An example.. This is actually the mix that caused me to start this post. The pumping isnt as severe, but I do realize that compression was the issue. I was using a multiband compressor on the master bus, but my attack and...

Thanks for the input, guys! Monitoring is an issue I've had for a while to be honest. I only have a pair of behringers to mix in, so I really only have a clue to what my music sounds like until I listen in the car. Dynamics is my biggest problem when it comes to mixing, because I hear tracks...

Amen to that! Lately I've been using multiple compressors. I love playing around with the attack and release knob just to alter the tones for fun. You can really put things in odd places with combinations of different compressors.

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...

Please don't do that. Not yet. You should post a segment of the recorded audio. I would love to hear it. Just looked up the violin frequency range, and the lows pretty much stop at 200hz, so maybe a little boost below that range will give it a little more bottom. Maybe a compressor could even...
