Alright Ive been working with a Sony C800/737/into an HD rig. Not sure on the rest but it is all high end, outboard gear is superb and they also have a reel to reel if I want to bounce whole track there for any reason. Using HD for AD/DA conversion.
I just want some opinions on my tracks. Myspace is terrible for getting any input. Places like this are the only way I can get reasonable input.
So these track arent even mixed yet, but to me, they sound great. Not perfect, but Im happy with them unmixed. All thats set is the levels on the vocals and the beats are mixed. We dont have the tracked out versions loaded in, just .wav. I only do the vocals and buy the beats, but am thinking of getting on my own production.
I just want to know if you guys think that these tracks are worth mixing as is, or if they need to be redone completely.
Im very biased, all of them sound amazing to me. Its like the kind of hiphop I always wanted to listen to but could never find. But of course this is my own music, and Im sure that most musicians should feel this way.
But then again, I look at that reel to reel and I dream of making an entire hip hop album on it. Digital for now, but the future? Noone does this anymore, but then again, why do I want to be like everyone else?
So please help, but no hating please. Stick with what I got and mix/master? Redo them till I get them perfect? Or is it better raw sometimes? Digital digital digital, but is analog what everyone is missing? Or scratch everything I have now, start making my own beats, then thats when Ill be ready?
Just need advice. Check them out on myspace
