Episode Show Notes:

Have you ever asked yourself this question while recording or mixing? 

What is your song about? How is it supposed to feel? How did you come up with it?  

These are important questions to ask yourself. And if you find the answer to it, it might transform your mixes and productions. 

We’ve received a lot of messages lately from people who are saying things like:

"My demos sound cool, but when I'm done mixing, I feel like something got lost along the way"

Or…

"I know exactly what I want my music to sound like, but I can't seem to make it come out of the speakers."

This is a common problem among Self Recording artists and Malcom & Benedikt take a more philosophical approach rather than a technical approach to this topic.  

This isn’t something that can be fixed by adjusting a plugin setting. This is a mindset thing. 

We’ve heard many songs lately that have incredibly dense arrangements. It's like people are feeling the need to add a lot of stuff to their songs to make them sound exciting and big. 

While that can be a good idea sometimes, it’s often not the best approach. You may actually be taking away from your song by continually adding new elements.

So let’s jump in to this weeks episode and find out exactly why your demo is currently sounding better than your final recordings.
