“The mixing is not good”
>>130225853Literally me
>>130225853Ok but sometimes its trueGood mixing can make or break an album
>>130225934perfect mixing is boring and sterile the mix needs a certain amount of badness
No arrow therefore you look like this and you say this
>>130225853A common form of this is vocals not being forward enough
I think the only example I have of this actually affecting my own listening is Black Secret Technology. I truly think it could sound so much better, although the dated sound does have some amount of charm to it. Regardless, the actual musical content is amazing so it's still listenablehttps://youtu.be/vLcj0V2XOR8
>>130226264Oh contraire. Far more common theyre too forward. No way what theyre singing about is more interesting than the instrumental
>>130225853The Cure's latest album was ruined by poor mixing.
>>130225853A chud would be preoccupied with “mixing”, would he
>>130226211That's stupid as fuck brother
>>130226860nah humans make mistakes its a lot more authentic than perfectly clean studio mixing
>>130225869based
>>130225853>>130226211>>130226912Retard.
I listen to jpop and 60’s on a regular basis so I’m immune to bad mixing. It has to be really spectacularly bad for it to ruin an otherwise good song for me. However I absolutely hate songs with minimalistic arrangements and everything is blasted in the front and uncannily crisp and over-edited.
>>130227209>i love the fake daw sound
>>130226912clean sound is not the same as good mixing, you're confusing the two
>>130227387Nope
>>130226912I agree with the sentiment but technically editing is separate from mixing.Good mix with human performance with some mistakes > bad mix with human performance >>>> good mix with “perfect” performance > bad mix with “perfect” performance.In my humble opinion, at least
>>130225853What's wrong with the mix anon? You've hardly touched you're music...
>>130225853I look like this and say this
>>130230351the mixing... is too polished... too clean-sounding for this type of music... there is no difference between quiet and loud parts! it lacks balance!! ... there is no cohesive sound!!
>>130225853Oh. I get it. Like race-mixing.
>>130226912the point is not if it has mistakes or not, rather than the mix has the intention to breathe more life into the songs, hence having a good balance and style that suits it, good mixes are balanced but not all unbalanced mixes are bad, the most enjoyable songs to some are often the most unbalanced and not perfect>>130226211there's no perfect mixes, just mixes with or without intention, a perfect mix to you sounds bland but to others it might sound good and professional, to me it really just depends if it fits the style and enhances the experience, you just need to listen to more music that is out of your comfort zone to compare
>>130230351I had some music at home right before I came out
yeah it's always the elitist dipshits that care about "mixing", it's like there's so much more to music than knob tweaking
>>130225853Yeah but the mixing isn't good stooge
>>130233641tbf if the song had a constant 8khz noise that was louder than the rest of the song and it was a jazz song I'd be fucking annoyed though, if it was rock id just go along with it unless it actually bothers me, i think it really depends on case to case wether it actually does something good to the song or not but even then it's mostly subjective and most of the final decisions are taken from the musician and mixing engineer at hand if they spent some money on that
>>130225853Fuck you, Lars. I will punch you right in your pancake hole.
