Metro Boomin advice on MIXING beats! - #producergrind

[hardPRODUCER]

Thats what Metro is known for. His unique simplicity.

Metro Boomin look like Future and Quavo mixed together

[Archangel.]

The best tip for mixing a beat or whatever track you’re doing is to take breaks in between so that sensory adaptation to the sound can wear off a bit and you can listen to what you’re making with fresh ears.

[DWFORTY]

Best advice I’ve heard in almost ten years of making beats: DO NOT OVERTHINK SH!T. Sometimes the most simplistic beats be the hardest. Adding too many sounds or over mixing the beat can make it harder for a rapper to find a flow on the track. Give each beat time to breathe and the space needed for the artist to add their sauce. Always remember, anytime you’re stuck on a beat, or debating on which sounds to use, D.O.T.S, Don’t OverThink Sh!t, listen to the sample/melody, feel what’s needed, then go with the flow.

The Heartless beat he did for The Weeknd is dope AF.

[LegionofDOOMmusic.]

Thanks Metro Boomin’! 👏👏🔥🔥 For the advice and the beef .

[Santi-hhlo]

I think a good rule of thumb is to have your 808 and kick the loudest then the snare, then your lead vocal or melody

“It’s different vibes for different songs” 😱😱Damn Metro did you go to Harvard⁉️⁉️

[OneBiteBeats]

Thats Most def facts thats all i do with my mixes people will say this and than but its really all about how loud you low you yourself want that sound and if it sounds good to you

[blackbobross]

Lol the reason he is saying this is because the engineer is the one who actually mixes and makes the beat sound right, he doesn’t make too big of a deal about it because it’s not his job to

[rbsllapbaplaprap]

I just noticed how this short use 'Flowers' by Miley Cirus as sound, but muted. That's cold.

[ActualKaktus]

Always consider the artist. Give their verses room to work.

[ITSMRZFG]

Zaytoven and Will A Fool said the same thing don’t overcomplicate or overthink it

[slackstarfish]

The most important thing for mixing is sound selection, mainly the kick and the 808 or bass. Certain kicks work great worth certain 808s, others do not at all. It has to do with the waveform. When you have waveforms that don’t line up well it basically just sounds like ass. So keep trying different kicks and 808s or use sidechain so that the 808 ducks when the kick hits. The most popular spinz 808 is most popular because it can be used by amateur trap producers as a kick if they just push it hard into a clipper. Thats because it’s already got a loud transient in the 808. It also works well with the rack kicks and ball kicks. But it works terribly with most other kicks if you don’t properly sidechain it because the transient clashes with them. That’s why a lot of people struggle with the kick and 808 sounding right. It is a good 808 but it’s not actually as versatile as people make it seem. It’s only got its reputation because trap producers who only know how to use a clipper hardly ever use it with kicks or just use the same few kicks everytime. And there’s a reason why every beat they make sounds the same. Trap production is dope but don’t get advice from YouTube trap beat videos they hardly ever know what they’re actually doing.

I agree, anything that has to do with art

[thecarolinanativejxann]

Def kick you can make a song straight off of what people want

[skate]

Bro said a lot and also said absolutely nothing at the same time😂
I love Metro

[spankthatbutt]

Ngl the mixing was hella quiet on that last album. He might be talking bout his old stuff.
