At last ! you’ve just bought a Custom Beat and you’re on the starter to kick on the mic, but before throwing your best punchline, have a look at some importants details :
Custom beats are generally sold with a folder containing stems. Stems are the elements of beat : kick , bass, drums , guitars etc … all these separate elements will allow you to create your structure, your cuts, your special edits …
Good producers also export the track effects in a stem, which is called X. This track will allow you to build the mix thoroughly between your voice and the instrumentals, measure the amount of effects and place your voice in the same “ambience” that instrumentals.
When you import the stems in your sequencer, you noticed that the level of each tracks is low : it’s normal, that’s to guarantee a good headroom in order to mix your voice more agressive.
Don’t forget to add a compressor to your voice track and prefer vintage stuff ! If you don’t want to get bored with mixing, you can always send us your tracking , we take care of the rest with our online mixing and mastering services !
