    For example, i was getting a bit bummed that my beat didn't get a mention... but crosstevsky hit me with some feedback that matched exactly what i was trying to achieve. So sometimes it's more important to discover you achieved your intent.

    Clipping above my mixing IQ

    Brooo thanks! :up2: I was actually bugging a bit 'cause it didn't even get mention and i see it as far better than my beat that got praise last week. The best thing about your feedback there is that it is exactly what i was going for! Love for that :up2:

    Also... lots of little eq is better than one big eq... By this i mean, say you boost your hi hat eq by 1db... then you might boost high end on your drum bus by 1db then your master high end by 1db... that hihat will have been brightened by 3db by end of the track... if you boost it 3db at once...

    Then thats dope, Crispi one! Pisses me off when i see someone just starting and their shit sounss better than mine! Here's my new approach regarding EQ... don't get too caught up in it; If you find the drum sound you like, initially only eq it if you want to change something about its tone...

    Like I said i can see a pro drop a beat here and not even place, or get told their mix is off or this that.

    I think that's a danger here... thinking that 'cause you didn't win something must inherently 'suck' about your beat. I think often it's far from the case. Look how many people had different ideas of what was hot. It depends how people vote too... how many listens before they decide? You...

    Really good. Is this your first time producing?? Hihat could do with being a little louder. The rest od the beat is very pretty and musically nice.

    @MinD AXioM you got my vote, bruh! Really loved that hypnotic vibe - was 1 of only 2 tracks I could listen to whole way through!! @DEEZ BEATZ narrowly missed out to above, bro - loved the vibe and instrumentation in your track. Was the only other track I bumped whole way through. You two gave...

    @StoneLockProd @YannFer and anyone else I'll be happy to give feedback/opinion / my reason for voting/not if you want it

    I'm really fucking stuck between 2 beats. o_O:eek::help: Would really appreciate it if some of you made your beats easier to dislike, would make this voting malarkey easier :p

    For me it's more of a balance. 75% "overall dopeness" - I'm either feeling it or I ain't. Then I use the next things to help me decide between 'em. 15% Creativity & Originality 10% Mix It's not as linear as that, initially it's just "overall dopeness". Which is an organic result of all those...

    "originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness! " This is where my votes go. Placing significance on 3 out of 4 is pretty fair I'd say? From the sounds of it most people are voting purely on mixing skills? It's like saying anyone who's not producing out of a professional...

    RE the mix/master argument... I'ma keep brief I don't wanna derail or go back n forth too much, Beatmaker/producer, mixing and mastering. They're worlds apart. Should I be voting for who i think is the best mix engineer?? Or who makes the "loudest" beat? Or what I think is the best...

    I'm pretty sure I know which beat has won tho. It's not the one I'm voting for tho. There are 2 I'm torn between; one really appeals to me and my vibe, the other I really dig its originality and what the producer is trying to do. There is a couple I really like, but aren't what im looking for...

    yeah but these ain't commercially released tracks. I feel it's a bit harsh judging some people on mixing and mastering capability, as it's a beat battle, not a mixing & mastering critique. Even mix and master engineers revere and respect eachother because they're different disciplines.Even...

    Personally, I'm listening to the idea, the soul of your beat. Some people will have you fooled by the "quality" of their tracks. But the idea is king - there's always someone out there who can mix your music for you.

    And listen... to any of you feeling beat down by criticism and negative comments, likely your beat ain't shit - it just got the wrong audience. Remember this place is probably what 30 people opinion? There's a billion more out there.
