[@vipulvishwas4960]

Amazing Content 🔥 Hey I need help man.... 😭Plz..... How to sound good in others speakers, when i make song it's sounds great in daw but bad in phone or earphones.... Mostly the break part where there's Lot of Ambience, and Mello Pads...., Drums and High- end sounds good But those Mid freq. Where it's feels like shit ton of reverb how to mix those ambience, When listen to those on earphones it sound like u have throwed bunch of Reverb and it's cluttering...... Plz how to keep track dynamic , as when any Ambiance part comes in it just clutter with elements and Sounds SHIT😭 If u read this...plz answer me or Better Plz make video on how u achieve good mix and Ambience which sounds good on phones

[@brentsmith9411]

Clipping the input of your consumer interface is not going to sound anywhere near as pleasing as clipping a quality transformer in something like a Neve 1073. In fact it will just sound like trash. Unless you have a good preamp with a quality transformer to clip I'd highly suggest leaving this to plugins.

[@MakePopMusic]

Fair enough, but if someone wants a super gnarly sound, it couldddd be a cool thing to try.
