6 Mixing Mistakes Every Hardstyle Producer Is Making
After listening to 1,000+ hardstyle demos, I see the same mistakes over and over.. In this video I break down 6 pre-master mistakes that are killing your tracks The kind of stuff that gets demos rejected! Most of these are fixable in mastering. They have to be fixed in your mix. We're using a real student submission from Brutalizer as the example. Big shoutout for letting me use the track.. What you'll learn: ✓ Why your buildup should NEVER be louder than your drop ✓ The LUFS vs dB difference (and why your kicks aren't actually loud) ✓ How to read your frequency curve like a mastering engineer ✓ The truth about the -6dB headroom "rule" ✓ Whether to keep your sub in stereo (the debate) ✓ The #1 thing destroying your mix decisions (ear fatigue) ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:31 The Track We're Using (Brutalizer) 0:52 Mistake #1: Buildup Louder Than The Drop 4:32 Mistake #2: Inaccurate Peaks (LUFS vs dB) 8:47 Mistake #3: Frequency Curve Looks Like A Hill 12:32 Mistake #4: Overclipping & The -6dB Headroom Myth 18:02 Mistake #5: Stereo Sub In The Mix 19:03 Bonus: Ear Fatigue 19:52 Outro Follow Brutalizer: Instagram: / brutalizerdj Tiktok: / brutalizerdj Youtube: / @brutalizerofficial Spotify: https://open.spotify.co/artist/6416cE...
