Can anyone give me some more in depth information about being able to participate in the Track Dump? Is this saying that only certain PMP members are allowed to participate in it?

@ HITZ...holla at GIK acoustics...they can get you started with 4 bass traps for about $300 give or take incl. shipping. they are high quality and well tested, you can call and talk to the guy that runs the company. very important step.

I heard alot about GIK Acoustics, thanks for the extra word about em.

But MAN, every new producer with low mids and high frequency clashing mix problems need to save up and cop the Yamaha HS80M's....

I'm a believer LOL, SleepDeez put me up to em. I brought 3 of my mixes, and 5 tracks from different producers I want to sonically sound like, along with a 10 second subwoofer test.

Those Yamaha's blew EVERYTHING out the water.....they made everything mix I did sound like GARBAGE.

haha...that's my Monitor test right there. Whatever set of monitors my music sounds THE WORST on, those are the ones i buy!



I just want to let people know, that the track dumps are all great and everything, and PMP IS a phenomenal tool...But if your music can't compete in the REAL WORLD (not in your head, and not "oh, if I had professional mixing, blah blah blah), then track dumps are gonna do you no good, because you're just gonna get ignored...

or even worse, the A&R's are gonna label you "that dude with the garbage tracks", and just skip past your tracks in the dump...whether you get better or not.


So don't run up on PMP and flood the track dumps UNLESS your music can REALISTICALLY stand up to the competition.
 
^^^So your saying the best thing to do is get your butt of your computer chair, go outside your door, make phone calls and network?
 
Nah, Troup is saying you better get some GOOD mixes LOL.

Too often us Futureproducers place too much burden on the CONTENT alone....

You have to SONICALLY compete with Storch, Nitti, Mannie, West, Dre, and Just Blaze.....oh don't forget SWIZZY!

Mixing matters also. This industry is based on who can do the most by themselves, I found that out for myself working with a local dude, you don't want to get a mix sent back to you cause something was wrong with it, it can get fixed, and it was fixed.

But imagine the headache that Mr. Morales (for example) has to go through cause you got a hot concept but the mix is totally WACK, and the producer is scared to send his multitrack to some *names* over the internet, doesn't have the funding to cop new monitors or outboard EQs and etc
 
Oh, am reading to fast or enjoying listening to New Edition-Candy Girl album.

Basically, step your MIXING GAME UP?

are they as good as the ns10s? I been lookin at coppin these

NS-10's are mostly used as REFERENCE monitors....reference to what? Some of the WORST sounding *real life* speakers you can find, boxy sounding low end, shelved highs, scooped mids.... It's always said that if a mix can sound good on the NS-10's it'll sound good anywhere...

But you'll have to mix on them a LONG time to get that good....nevertheless you'll drive yourself crazy.. I usually see them with a pair of high end Genelecs...and Genelecs are *sweet monitors* like the Mackie HR-824s to my tastes, so coupled with a harsh reference as an NS-10.....you should get some tastes on how your work will sound in a variety of situations.

But most of this is my opinion so don't take it as gospel.

I'd go with the Yamaha's with NO question, they are hard, harsh but yet accurate. Industry mixes can do no wrong but my mixes did LOL
 
I've noticed, by having 3 soundcards in my PC, that they all sound different on the same monitors... The soundcard I use to make music sounds the worst... and I only use it because it cost the most...

There are alot of things involved in getting your music to sound good.

I used to be one of those guys, who thought they had well composed, creative tracks, and I thought I was a pro...But after a while, I realized mixing and sonic quality was rediculously important and that my mixes were a joke. Ever since then I've been gathering info and working on my sound. PMP has helped me alot, cause I get to see for the most part what an industry quality track sounds like, and then try to aim for somewhere around there. I've still got alot of work to do, But if you are a begginer, I recommend getting started learning how to mix early on.

That's what I've always heard... and always wanted a pair since. I'll probably cop the hs80's soon.

hmmmm, yamaha 01x, roland fantom x6 or yamaha hs80m

tough choice on the next piece of equipment
 
My mixing isn't very good, and it probably won't get much better until I've got some monitors. But I won't be getting those for a while, since I don't have a job right now!

That sucks. Your stuff is pretty good. I guess after all of the positive experiences, PMP is more legit than Spliffington. I'll take a look into signing up.

Exactly. Man quality matters. I never realized how much it does until like last year. That's why I'm CONSTANTLY tweaking my mixing game. Like my engineer said, mixing is not something you can teach someone. It just takes PRACTICE.

The track KISS aka Stylin On You, is the latest beat that I've made. And it's the best mix I've ever done. And it's the track that I've been getting the most hits about.

So folks, excuses about sound quality don't fly in the big game. Cuz if your tracks don't sound as crisp and as big as the next guys, you're gonna lose. Everytime.
 
any book people recommend for learning how to mix. my monitors are ok, i'm using KRK RP-6's

Welcome to the Yamaha HS fam .:cheers:
 
between my crew we have NS10's (tweeters keep blowing- typical for these) Alesis MKII's, and Event PS8.

As far as mixing, i would really suggest any particular book. You just have to get you hands dirty.

Hire and engineer to come mix one of your beats on your system and PAY ATTENTION.
