Mixing with just a tablet and a pair of headphones. My way to stay sane in the ongoing battle versus cancer and sleazy healthcare officials in Germany: decibel therapy - one transition at a time!
150 BPM - I guess this is my favorite genre now next to Synthwave. But other than the latter which is not really meant or built for mixing, Hardstyle feels like a time machine that transports you back into the early 90s. The songs are not as long as Trance and more diverse. This, coupled with the extensive use of vocals allows for more creative, sometimes even abrupt mixing. There’s one thing I need to mention, though. Unfortunately I only noticed it once I had everything recorded. It’s that with song number 12, Norwegian Lullaby by Da Tweekaz feat. Lene Kokai, there is a small portion where the sound is somewhat scratchy. I double and triple checked everything but it looks like they somehow did a sloppy job at voice recording or mastering. Apparently, it’s not just an issue with my own recording but with the song itself. You’ll run into it during the middle section of the song, when there’s just her voice and the piano. I reduced the overall playback level but it’s too extensive for me to fix. I repaired a lot of retro songs already that had broken samples and whatnot, but this one right here is beyond of what I can do at the moment. I hope you don’t mind.
