    How much mixing do "pro" producers do themselves?

    20 minutes if watching someone chop up samples and I'm like "why when I do it do the samples not line up smooth, sound awkward and just is 50million times not as straight forward as this?" I have to do all kinds of fades, audio warping and timestretching and other surgical stuff to try make it...

    I think it was the coke and cars that made him go bankrupt, his accountant or manager said he was driving a 200kcar to the dealership to buy another 200k car or 500k or something. But constantly. Didn't the yacht get put on ebay? :skull:

    Not necessarily, i couldn't say I particularly like them. In the case of the dre and storch vids it's probably more about the insight into your beat idols process. And blown away, like Arvin said, any time on the Storch ones when he gets to the strings o_O Sometimes love seeing those who make...

    So what’s the point anymore?

    My faith has been a little restored for now. As after 20 attempts it only managed to make 1 creation that was even close to what I was asking it.

    Good luck with that, Had offered free mixing before so some of the people who have bad mixes could hear how their productions could sound. Even said i could tutorial them after on the bits they want to know how to do. Get really low takers on that. As an idea I think it's great.

    This would be horrendous. Potentially. Plus, the voting on that I'm not sure how many could give a worthy vote. I did really well in a mastering competition, and in the top ranked ones (mine included) there was barely any difference in the masters.

    If you're asking re mixing - doesn't matter. We dealing with audio tracks. I've used most major DAWs at some point; Studio One Cubase Sonar/Cakewalk Logic Ableton Pro Tools Fruity Loops Reason Reaper Going to omit the lesser known ones and think I may be missing one^ but the a over is...

    @Dusty B go take a look at The Alchemist's Rappers Best Friend albums... some of the mixing is low quality. But the beats still bang. Part of why I always talk about the importance over the beat/music versus the mix. But yeah a proper mix will make them next level.

    I don't care much for it... what I do care about is the fact I missed out on the delay!

    ...and if you really want to get into it, Timbaland doesn't always even fully produce his beats... He has a production team. Or producers doing or contributing a lot of the work. I think Danja Hands was once mentioned as producing a lot of his stuff. Can call it more of a collaborative effort...
