How has the mix been received?
Did you read the shit people are saying already about the Fabric Mix? A few assholes are talking about “Oh, Omar-S. He did the same thing as Ricardo Vi-vi–….” whatever the fuck he’s called. I don’t even know who Ricardo Willalobo is. I ain’t start hearing his name till like a year ago. Who the fuck is that? So how would I know what he did for Fabric? I don’t even know how to say his last name, why would I bite off of him?
Finally, do you have any tips to share with the bedroom producers out there?
The first thing that comes to mind is: “Less is more.” What I mean by that is that you shouldn’t just stick EQs and compressors on everything. Listen to how all processes effect your transients. Everything is a yin and yang, so whatever you do in one direction could have bad consequences on the other end. Find good sounds to start with. Don’t just plan on polishing them up later. If the kick, for instance, isn’t carrying the track well unless you have to open four effects to make it work, find a different kick.
