Noticed that most of Demo's tracks on Shock Value had the same over-compressed sound.
I think he is trying too hard to sound like Dr Dre, but doesn't realise sometimes less is more.
Dr Dre produced song called "Hold On" from Young Buck's album is an example of how to properly mix a track driven by horns. YouTube - Young Buck feat 50 Cent - HOLD ON |
weak dre mix compared to his others...vocals are lacking meat and sound very nasally as well
