decisive Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 i still love this bro. mix wise it sounds a bit flat generally, which is the best starting point really. the only thing i would do is pitch up the drums a few cents, have a feeling they'd sit better. would you fancy sending me the individual tracks and i'd have a go at mixing it down? it'd be more a favour to me than you really i'd quite like to approach someone else's track- can't guarantee it'll come out sounding any better than you could do yourself. this isn't a ploy to pinch your samples honest peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 The snare's too "clear" in comparison to the rest of the beat. Basically you should make it a bit dirtier or just a bit quieter, as the kicks are fairly quiet and subby. The bass is very dominant...meaning that I'd take it down a couple of db (eventhough it's a fucking sick bassline). The bongos on the hook are really dope, you could make those a tad bit louder though - but that's a matter of taste. The placement of the accapella is very nice, it's not too quiet and not too loud, i.e. perfect in my view. The beat is fucking sick though...I mean I've started with criticism, but I'd fucking kill to put out another beat like that again...and when the vocals dropped I almost came in my pants. So what I'd definitely work on is the snare, it's a good snare, meaning that it could fit to the rest of the arrangement, but you have to work on the levels/compression of it to get it to blend properly as it's too dominant currently. Nice shizl baby!!!! Pee.z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 man this beat is bananas! only thing i'd suggest is maybe turn down the tambourine volume a little and it'd be sick. congrats man its tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax On Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 cheers jon, i know what you're saying, its just difficult to reduce cos its part of the main sample...gonna get decisive to see what he can do with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
