    Do you have a acoustic optimized room ? If not go for it ! After that you can finally hear what you are doing :)

    I know that :) I pushed that years ahead until I finally had a dry room.

    If i click on the link directly from your comment i get a link problem both on my two machines and my smartphone, the only way to open it, was to manually copy the link.

    Anyway to business, Here's the mastered version, if you like it i'll send you the mix project, mastering on the other hand is a business trade secret, and i will not be able to share it :bleh:

    Shame on you, you took me back to my Gross Beat days :rofl:i have enjoyed working on this, even thought i was limited by it's samples and materiels, i could have focused a little bit on the sides and stereo image if i had more percussion or vocals chops...

    Finally, if you are happy with the results, i'll send you the full flp with my edits and modifications, and the mix of course, and i hope it would guide you to the right direction, even thought to me this was game play, and trap and beats aren't my main genre that i usually work on, but it might proove to be a good change of scenery...

    ps: i encoutered some latency composition with fl studio, so i had to manually move around the main theme to re sync it with the beats.

    Oh man.... oh man.... thats really dope... It would definitely help me if you can send me that FLP, I need it badly...
    Also I can feel the reverb in my bones. Not necessarily bad, I just like it a little cleaner.
    For mastering I have Izotope Ozone 9, but I can't really seem to understand all of its functions. Its okay though, by time I shall learn.
    I wonder what is your main genre, because typically even a sound engineer cant understand where a trap beat must hit, they do it by physics but its really simpler than that. I adore your work, ISSA BANGER!
    Businesswise, yeah, I now understand why in most songs the mix/master is not made by the beatmaker himself. Its a lot of stuff we need to learn in order to do all of that...

    Here's both the edited project plus the mixing project, if i have something to suggest is that "FOLLOW THE ROUTING" also i work on two big screens, the mixer might look a bit weird with all that empty space, but i hope it won't be a problem for you.

    also i think there is a bug with Fabfilter's Pro C2 it does not recall the correct sidechaine trigger internal or external, hope that wont be the case with you.

    Still you might end up downloading a lot of plugins in order to open the project.





    if you have some questions, post them and i'll try to answer them, enjoy.

    DOPE!!! I'm saving your 808 process as a mixer preset! :)
    Thanks so much for sharing! I docked all the fx to the right and used separators, made it easier to follow.
    Is the pluginalliance plugin on the 808 also on the master? Your master has some nice roundness and depth to it then just matching the volume.
    That business trade secret sauce!!
    This was great to see how someone works. I really like the lift on the drum bus. And seeing the difference between original kick sample, with added fx and then with the drum bus fx. Also getting to see some plugins I had installed but hardly used. I didn't have synth warmer it's pretty nice.

    Thank you friend, but don't forget to check the chain on the drums buss, plus the Frequency slider on the RBass plugin...

    Tweak the chain (as long as you intend to you use) to your current source, as both plugins on the 808 bass PLUS the plugins on the buss chains work together in order to acheinge a certain sound and results.

    Yea thanks it was awesome. Yes I saw the RBass fq, it was interesting and with the eq reduction before it. I went through all of it turning plugins on and off on the channel and the bus seeing how they effect each other.
    I learned heaps thanks!

    Hi, did you have anything in the box that you would use for LTL Silver Bullet or SSL Fusion?

    Sounds like you don't separate the different elements in your mix well enough. Every element needs it's space and sometimes you have to push certain elements to the foreground to the detriment of other, less important elements. Then you probably should think about improving your monitoring situation. Get some proper headphones and speakers and try to optimize your room. If you cannot afford bass traps and such you can get further by using the furniture in your room, laying down a carpet or hanging up a rug as a sound wall to decrease resonances and standing sound waves.
