This show really is an inspiration. Eight episodes deep congrats. All of you amazing engineers and producers bring great joy the subs in my little set up. Also J.Rhodes you know damn well 70 seconds of Oak Cliff Native is not enough! Give me more!!!!

[@fentanyl3.147]

The dude Egomi def had the best mix out of the last two episodes. The snare reverb hit a spot in the dynamic range that none of the others did. Overall cool episode. I'm still waiting to see some beat making though.

[@matr5797]

Superinspiring! CK Jones mix was bright and unique, while Egomi really took the general vibe and maxed out the soundscape to a hard-hitting level! These last two mixes stood out to me as something I would enjoy listening to, in their own ways.

Got my 4 year old daughter playing with fruityloops on her laptop. Obviously doesnt know what shes doing yet but she has 2 patterns down so far. We watch every episode together. When she hears a hip hop beat she closes her eyes and it looks like shes meditating. Its incredible.

[@IcyMicB1]

Damn Egomi on this one was fire. Im surprised because I loved Batez EQ and simplicity but CK had separation and emotion was geared towards a vocalist to take up that space in the mid range. Excellent job by all the contestants. But those are the ones that stood out to me.

[@richardadamson6642]

Fire in the booth! 🔥 1)Subtonic (on another level) 2) Batez (very well done) 3) Egomi (this time he did a decent job) Dope episode Mann!!! Keep them coming. Ck Jones gives me a weird vibe lol idk about her.

[@7sinsdp]

Another fire episode, i thought i would wait until this week to comment as again IMO this episode and last weeks could have been merged so just again food for thought for season 2, Im really hoping next week is some sort of everyone is given the same sounds and samples you got a certain amount of time to drop a beat, really test the creativity of the producers that is what i wanna see, Everybody is still dropping some dope stylistic approaches to these challenges and i can see everyone is going to walk away with some influences from each other and its only gonna make you all stronger/harder producers all your futures are bright for sure, My fav's at the mo are Egomi, CK and Subtonic, Peace cya next week

[@carlosbernard4209]

i waited two weeks to watch this episode so i can have whole hour watching and laughing with you guys.... Hi key the outro beat got me in ma feels... shit goes hard.... finna play this so loud in my house in Jamaica... lol

[@sweeetcalf]

That's velcro hardrive to the laptop is what people in the military do.. what a great show!! I can make beats but my mixing is horrible to the point I'm scared to send my beats out because I'm afraid they might not sound the same as to what I'm hearing..I wish I had a mentor.

[@maschinemasters]

Make sure you start with good sounds to begin with and mix as you go. Take a few notes and practice. You will get better. Thanks so much for tuning in! Please continue to like, share and comment to help us grow the show!

[@JedidiahProductions]

The best way to get a mentor is to add value to them. When you find a suitable candidate, find a way to serve them so that they can see it worth their time to invest into you. Mentorship is a huge investment of time for the mentor so you can't just go up to anyone and ask. If you do it this way, you may not even have to ask.

[@klausherbert3040]

CK Jones filled the gaps nicely with the bass

[@hgmoved6591]

Man I just discoverd this I know I'm late but man episode 7 😀helped me with my mixing

[@foskofoskowitz]

Best reality show EVER

[@cryptoman1056]

subtonic mix on point !

[@gravesg]

subtonic mix had the most presence and i'll even give it the best balance of sounds within the mix, but BATEZ had the only mix you could have dropped vocals into with ease. it also was the cleanest. It could have had more bass but, his kicks we're slicing through the bottom end like a sword .. thats always lovely. batez and subtonic tie this round but they had the best mixes of the the whole group.

[@SonicSupremeSGT3]

Summary on this one: Subtonic did a BEASTLY mixing with layering bass to make it punchier and distortion, layering drums and putting in ghost notes with some Reverb and Delay on the snare while smoothing out the Toms. Again, Subtonic capitalized on his name in this challenge on becoming an engineer through sound manipulation. Willie T, he layered the kick drums, smoothed the piano with a little Reverb and did a little distortion on the Toms. Don't get me wrong, it was there, but some of it was cluttered due to saturation in the Toms, snare, hats and chimes. Batez, he smoothed out the drums, put more Reverb on the brass, some of the bass, a little distortion while smoothing out the Sub. I also noticed he mixed his in Mono while balancing out the snares and other drums. Classic Quincy Jones, III and Dr. Dre trick he did there. As for CK Jones, I'm highly impressed of how she manipulated her Sub and all, but on the other half, the drums in her mix had too much punch in it, which clashed with the brass and choir vocal sound effects. From my observation, she could have layered the brass in that mix and smoothed it out. But knowing how producers with Drum & Bass, EDM and Dubstep taste, there is a problem with the fact that they don't comprehend the secrets of brass, which Egomi made up for with EQ'ing, compression, some distortion, smooth ghost notes in the panning. Above all, DOPE! Shout-outs to Maschine Masters and the producers on this show. I'm loving it!

[@kingkryptico]

is there a way in which I could get the stems that were muffled by J Rhodes so that I could do my version in 30minutes just to see how I could compare to the other producers and how much more I need to learn?

[@kelvinharris7338]

another dope episode, I have to give it to Subtonic, he was on point wit it, but I think Dre got 'em with his mix using the delays.. #againdopeaf

[@cesardominguez7392]

[@randalllawkin]

Ck love that bass.

[@SirMalikCobra]

My critique was similar to J.... He was honest and fair with them if judgment. This was a good challenge. The last producer really made the beat his own. To me it probably was the best mix. I didn't like the snare at first but it grew on me... Other than that it was extremely solid.

[@vintageelementzonline7597]

Mixing is an artform I think J is looking for more than proper levels, he's looking for creativity. I have a great idea for a challange: produce a fire track WITHOUT using a damn 808 now that's a challange for ya ass lol.... So glad my material doesn't rely on 808 to pound or be funky...

[@AChi__]

@Tony Walker I agree there too. However, I wish they'd do it slightly differently though. For me, I wish they get two random vinyl records. Give the beatmakers one record to individually go front to back and fish for their own sample(s) of choice, and respectively flip their sample(s) and individually make a sick beat out of their samples. And for the second vinyl record, J.Rhodes and crew should find a sample and give each of the beatmakers that sample to make their own beat by creatively flipping that sample. Judge both beats on their merits or score them based on an average for both beats. Such a competition forces the beatmakers to creatively bring their best, I imagine.

[@AChi__]

Of course, it'd be great to also have the beatmakers make their beats from scratch, no sample, just creatively grind out something dope from scratch. That'd be sick to see too.

[@AChi__]

@Tony Walker Not necessarily, due to the fact that they'll be competing against one another and will squarely have to try and outdo all the other beatmakers. Doing so will build some unforseen pressures on them to perform at their respective best and also outperform everyone else.

[@AChi__]

@Tony Walker Also, them picking their own samples will almost be like an IT Challenge 2.0, because it puts them in a position to bring their best due to the lessening of the restrictions the are usually influenced by (for example, the subpac challenge). It'd let them let their nuts hang creatively 😂, so to speak.

[@TheFreekill17]

I feel like the kicks were too loud and dirty, same for crash’s on her mix

[@o.e.bangerz6548]

Chick-fil-A Yea I see what you mean bro. For the instrumental Alone that’s dope for me but if this track was to go to an artist they’d most likely definitely recommend to lower the levels of the drums a bit. Most beats in today’s era though do focus on the drums being “BIG” thin drums make the instrumental sound outdated. That’s why I like hers the best her mix the drums are full

[@TheFreekill17]

Obviously Exclusive I definitely agree with you, but it’s all personal preference. I loved subtonics mix just because of the balance and punch haha

[@subtonic24]

@@TheFreekill17 Glad you like my mix man!! Yea I tend to mix more for commercial releases on itunes, spotify, etc so my mixes are usually more balanced.
