So, I haven't really done a post like this where to show you kinda within the process of the the stages of music production...

Within the music process there are three main steps that everyone should know if your taking this seriously and want to pursue it as life long thing...

First there is the creation process, the part that everyone knows, many variations, many forms...

Most of the post you been seeing in the scraps are all of this stage and just something to post to see what people think of the ideas, mostly if someone responds, I think likely of it and might have more of a quicker process of the track, if there is a lack of a response, I won't think much of it and I think people don't care of the time that goes into it and it gives me sorta a collective on what people usually think...

Mostly, its just to show what ideas I have or what I am working on at the time to basically let everyone who is interested in my work that I have things going on...

Second is the process I am showing you now before you, the "mix down" process, the most important part of music production for its the thing that makes your work sound actually decent and not sound like a muddy mess of clutters things going people don't take into account...

This process can be done in many different ways but all the ideals are the same, you make everything do its part and make it sound clear by using certain tools to do a certain things, mainly your EQ, Compressor, and Limiter, the main things within a mix-down setup, and the most important part is getting the volume levels all balanced clear for every little part you have, going from broad to extreme detail in what your trying to exactly do...

Usually some producers don't learn the skill so they just send it to a guy for a couple hundred bucks to do the mix down for them or both the mix and the master, but thats just throwing money away unless you well funded or have the money, and they charge doing this per track, meaning if your planning on doing an E.P. or Album, you might as well be broke, which is why learning the craft is major importance so your stuff that sounds like a 14 year old made it sounds like someone more experienced put the time and effort into researching and using that information to build upon there work...

A more important matter when "mixing", always AB your tracks with something, if you want it to sound a certain way with the parts doing a certain thing, AB it with the track you want it to sound like, for instance this track was AB with the Pig & Dan remix of SynthesiZe by Whyt Noyz because the production quality on the track is really clear and all the parts are clear doing there own thing...

Last is the mastering phase, which isn't a big thing, just minor EQ adjustments and some minor compression and a limiter to make everything sound pristine and have the final touch...

All these things can be researched and studied over time because all the information is out there and I had to learn the hard way...

So, if your up to the challenge, go for it, but just remember to use your tools like any other artist...

The top mixers at the head of the game can just do it within like a few hours ands thats all they do, look up the producer/mixer Andy Wallace you you will see how important his job is, he did the mixing for linking parks hybrid theory and a fuck ton of others...

Hope this helps in a way, if I m not being too c͚o̡͇͖̰̞̠̜n͎͓̭̪d̻͍͇̟̤e҉̺̘̩s̖̗̟e̛͇̳͈̬̠̝n̢̝̭̮̖d̷̝̯i̩̦̲͕n҉̹̘̰̟̺̪ǵ̙̘̟̗ for you...

As much as I can say...


Until then...
