OK so u guys think its just a few things I need to do to get that phatt production sound.Becaues Im tryin to figure out why my tracks are not comin out soundin like Shawty Redd(Jeezy),Sha Money(50cent),Shondrae(Ludacris).There kicks and overall production sounds bigger and stronger than mine.Is it just that there are runnin there stuff through pre's and compressors before its mixed and masterd or are there some tricks and secrets when mixing.Can it be a good eq such as waves plugin or a uad-1 eq that I can use to get that sound.Also my control room is pretty small it 10x12 and it is treated so my sound control room is ok.But I do use so so monitors Im doin my own mixing and mastering on Alesis M1 Mk2 monitors.Im not useing a high price pre and i dont have high price converters.Im useing a Tascam dm 24 to track my beats with the line gain turned up some and it run straight into a M-Audio 24/96 sound card through spdif at 44.1k.
Now as far as my drums and keys I layer my kick somtime and some time I dont.But I do layer my keys all the time and my snare all the time.Also I got some my drum samples from Bangin beats .com and I use some of the factory one that come wit the mpc but I try to tweak them some.So could it be that my drum samples are just no the right ones.Well anyway sorry for the long wind .Im just tryin to get this problem fix becaues I want my music to sound as good as it can be.
