As long as I can comfortably listen to it in the car I dont care. I love Jay Elec album but its hard to play in the whip

Nothing matters anymore the kids are listening to YouTube/sc songs capped at 128kbps off their skullcandy ear buds

I feel like they never got the mix for Blue Pill right (they released it like 3 different times) and that sucked for a song that was delayed for like 5 years

thought that was kinda her thing

even the song that went viral sounds like it has a weird mix

it’s different

I'm a huge stan of Flying Lotus and all of his best projects are super compressed, I think the only projects by him that aren't terribly squashed are UTQC and Flamagra

With that being said it never really was a make or break thing when it came to how much I enjoyed his projects

man i grew up listening to madlib and wayne tapes that sounded like they were recorded on a toaster. didn’t even know people cared about mixing and s*** until i got on this site

MBDTF and Yeezus are also albums that kinda fall into this category I think those were intentional though

i feel like this post started off saying "it means nothing at all" and then gave examples as to how the mix/decision making process does matter quite a bit. am i off?

If it doesn’t make my ears bleed it’s good 👍

As long as there is a good balance, and you can hear everything I’m not complaining :)

i just hate when songs in the same album have very different mixing/audio leveling

Sometimes the mixing isn't bad, the choices are intentional and niggas just dont like said choices lmao

I swear on album’s with bad engineering, it’s always one song mixed by a different engineer than the rest of the album, and it’s always the song that has the best mix lol

I just can’t stand mixing that’s flat/too quiet

Like almost all of Alchemist’s albums

It depends. Sometimes s***ty audio adds to the charm like a lot of Gucci or Chief Keef tapes. Then there’s Vultures 1 and 2 which just sound lazy and flat

Little to none

Tyler's Cherry Bomb title track still goes hard af to me even tho i can't hear a word of what he's saying

the synths and drums convey all the energy i need
