How to Mix Beats High Quality?
I’m an aspiring music producer, and I had a management group that wanted to submit my music to warner brothers records, but, they said that I needed to work on the mixing of the beats.
what are the settings for top quality mixing? how do I make it so when I make beats they are being mixed at the highest quality possible, and how would I know it? do I need to go to audio production school? so frustrating…
The best place to learn about mixing music for free is to join a community of sound engineers and pick their brains… check out http://www.audioneeds.com <- that’s my favorite one.
Going to school wouldn’t hurt either. There are tons of schools out there that are great!
True, creating beats is very different from mixing beats. There are no specific settings anyone could tell you because each instrument in each song has to be specially treated to make a good mix. Proper levels, gain staging, EQ, compression etc will help lead to a better mix.
You could do more research on mixing and how various audio processors work by searching online or buying a book. Your software program may have certain presets which could give you a basic start for mixing each instrument.
Going to audio school would be a faster way to gain the understanding you need, of course it costs money and there is no guarantee that you will be able to make a career out if. Another option is to consider making the beat yourself and then having a dedicated mix engineer mix the beat for you so you have a high quality product to present. Check around online – I like Virtual Mix Engineer but there are plenty of options.

Scott is correct. I cannot just tell you what to set your compressors for and so on. You need to develop your ear.
Google is your friend. You don’t need to go to school if you have th ediscipline to do research .
copy and paste this link. It will get you started but only if you have the passion to work and research.

You can use software to mix high quality beats and no, you don’t need to go to audio production school for it. (unless you wanted to be a famous rapper or something)
You should check out these reviews of software which allows you to make beats, or otherwise produce music. The review(s) are found here:
