So hi, I was thinking of why my mixes arent that good and I said maybe its because i dont pay alot of attention to the mixing of things when i listen to music. So i want u to try to think of the best 1 or 2 tracks that you think are mixed almost perfetly (while thats impossible).
I think Nu:Tone’s generally got solid mixdowns. A lot of his new stuff is wank though. I think James Blake is pretty good at it. Also Bop is sick. And Shlohmo’s pretty good too.
And OP, I think you should listen for technically bad mixdowns too and try and think of how they could be better and/or worse too. Sometimes lesser mixing can be a good thing.
Burial’s stuff isn’t brilliantly mixed, neither is a lot of Logistic’s early stuff. Minimum Chips were pretty bad for it.
