i think mixing is the most important stage. a lot of SA hip hop tracks aren't mixed and EQ'd well at all.

I don't think cats spend enough time editing and EQing their vocals too.

tippy toes was poorly mixed. the vocals are really low. does anyone else notice this or is it how the radio version is? or maybe my car speakers?

Bumb tippy toes nicca???? I wont in my lifetime do such...

Anyway...I used to be terrible hecticly, but yes...the learning process is great and one is improving every project...in fact... I sometimes buy spindle of 50cd's just to burn and listen to it over and over again! Its a kak process but work...in addition..I take out the most quality cd - [no mp3s] and compare sounds with that... use stuff mastered by maybe Troy Hightower or that nigga who masteres Jay-Z stuff...

Thats my take...

I found that mastering on hardware makes it alot easier to get the desired sound then on software, since you can add alot more to a track with hardware compressors without having to worry bout distortion

Have you considered frequency filtering???? Cuz, in my knowledge, what you hear is not exactly how it sounds...frequency sometimes changes sounds...my 2bop worth!

My xhosa isnt spot on but here is a loose translation.

First post is

"Otha people are sour/upset.
I dont even knw where to begin
That som1 can steal anathas job
And u guys cum here,and act like its nothing."


Second post is a bit too higher grade. something about not being able to translate xhosa

But please lets not dwell on this. If anyone wants to clarify anything feel free to contact me on 082 083 5677 or send me an email nyambz@gmail.com Its a bit petty to be brave enough to make coments and yet hide behind a language.

That track was sumthing else...

let me shed the light....

Beat from: Sam Simose [all those that know how this guy works will say he will give you whatever that comes out (of the SP I think) and burn it on cd - I never met him but thats the word....

Vocals recorded at my spot: SIAMESE Entertainment

Track featured on Hype was not mastered but given to artist for their listening pleasures...but funny i get to find it there....

Get the proper one on Ondagrnd's album coming out soon!
