How is it going everyone. When I mix hip hop tracks I usually do not do a lot of panning. Generally I may pan strings, hats, adlibs, and filler instruments. I may use low pass hilters on some things to get rid of any mud I may hear.

I am a pop songwriter/programmer and occasional mixer. i sing too. my setup looks like this.

MPC 3000 - Drums and Samples
Pair of Techs 1200 turntables - to sample from
Triton Le
Roland xp30
Cheapo Behringer 604a? 4channel minimixer

Everybody says that the kicks on hophop album are so in your face because of compression. Can some one explain. i hav tried it and it seems to make the kick louder but duller or lack of life. the hip hop kicks on the albums are clear present and still have a lot ofdepth and still jump through the speakers
thanks

Hello everybody,

How is everything going? Are any of you using Samplitude to mixdown hip hop and if so what is your general process as it relates to mixing down the music? For others generally what are you using and doing to your mixes so they stand out.

Thanks,

How can I get my vocals to sit in the mix better?

Hello everybody,

hi,

i'm looking for sites with mixing tips for hip hop and r&b tracks. everything i found is mostly for rock or pop music. maybe someone can tell me...

I've been looking for some time now at getting a new mic ( I currentley own one mic an AT4033 and haven't had great succsess with it on rap vocals a couple of female singers have had great results though which that mic exsels at that anyway )

Can you tell me what it was about the M9 that made you buy it instead of say,an NTK or Audio-Technica 3060? I have found that many project studios in Australia go for the NTK's because they are considerd a standard fixture here. Not many people know about CAD gear or studio projects stuff.

Im trying to learn how to record hip hop vocals. Im new at this so can someone please help me.
