That's true. I have a general idea but I can't put my finger exactly on how to work this situation. Guess I'm gonna have to try to figure it out on my own. It just doesn't work so easily.

Thank you. I guess that's gotta be my next move... Better monitors. I work with a pair of Samson's at this point. Any suggestions?

haha... I have. They're the one that taught me to sweep the frequencies. I do it. Still doesn't come out right. I'm tryna figure out what I"m doin' wrong.

WRONG. Like I said earlier... rappers have gotten on other artists beats that they have no relation to or means of being in association with and recorded songs that sounded damn good. AGAIN: it's not the quality of a mix on a tracked out beat but I've already stated this. As much as ya'll are...

That's funny you say that because a lot of the biggest rap artists came up rapping over other peoples' beats. Didn't know they weren't serious.

That's not always true... Underground rappers that wouldn't have access to the producer who created these industry beats would not be able to get the instrumental/beat "tracked out". I've heard plenty get on those type of beats and still sound right. You have to create that "pocket" and that's...

No. That makes no sense whatsoever. At the end of the day, someone can recognize a problem but not know how to fix it. It's like somebody who knows little about repairing a car but knows there's something obviously wrong with the engine. It's pretty obvious but that doesn't mean they'll...

That's funny you talk about beats that aren't mixed correctly when they're industry beats that are mixed down by professionals. And I've been in pro studios and have heard actually DAMN good mixes over industry beats. What's your point? It's obviously not going to be as good as having the entire...

I don't get it. It shows that the setting is turned on but it won't allow me to open it to adjust anything. I don't get it. Uninstalled and reinstalled too. Searched Google for answers and I don't find anything. I'm using Cubase now but wanted to do final editing on there. Please help me out.

I know. That's why I keep sayin' you have to make a pocket. But that's where I"m struggling at.

But rappers rap on other rappers' beats all the time. You have to pull frequencies out of the beat to create space for the vocals. I just don't do it right. Need more tips.

I don't 100% agree with this because it's pretty crucial to use a low pass filter when you EQ. And I must be going overboard then with the EQing. I drop A LOT with a small bandwidth. It's frustrating as shit. If I don't add a ton of mids, it feels like my vocals aren't strong enough. Do I have...

I mix vocals down on headphones but the final mix is through computer speakers. I don't think that's the issue. I can't figure out a way to have the vocals sound strong enough without putting in too much mids and compressing too much 'til the vocals sound muddy and unnatural. I need to figure...

I get frustrated with mixing. I mix on a cheap pair of studio monitors which sounds way too clean so after I'm done, I re-mix it on regular computer speakers because it always sounds muddier on them due to the bass and lows. But for my vocals to sit on top of the track sound strong enough...
