RE: Electronic Dance Music - Beat Battle Entry
I have a lot of improving to do with mixing and playing other instruments (even if they are patches on a keyboard!) That's the beauty of it, relentless room for improvement! and mixing is always a new challenge, because one's sound is always changing regardless ...
Yea every song has it's own challenges in regards to mixing. I always find I add to many melodies to my beats so that they sound ok by themselves but when I go to add vocals onto it, it can become really hard to mix so everything is clear.
Oh, yeah, 'economy' ... Sometimes you hear critics say, "not a note wasted" ... What you say is my biggest problem too. So much of my mixing effort is paring things down so to not confuse the listener.
To get a bit of distance is the thing, being completely familiar with your own intentions.
