Trying to mix my beats is killing my creativity. I will spend two hours mixing one track. I'm trying to mix my beats in an untreated room. Bad idea, I've learned. I’m trying really hard to improve. I really enjoy using studio one, its inspired me to try to mix. I live in a small apartment, so my room is small. So at the moment I said to myself do I buy some bass traps and do my best to treat this small room? Or just focus on making beats? Before I would make a certain amount of beats a month and send to an engineer online to mix for me. Any suggestions? I have two options I think:
A. Buy some acoustic stuff to try and treat my room. Buy some monitor stands. I already of a small new computer desk. Try to mix my own beats in studio one the best I can.
B. Focus on beats. I was thinking I would put my money on more vsts, or possibly purchase the MPC Renaissance. Take my best beats and have an engineer mix my instrumentals every other month or so.
My set-up:
Win 7 Desktop and Laptop (DJ use)
Presonus 44 VSL Interface
Yamaha HS50M Monitors
Audio Technica ATH M50 Headphones
Novation Remote SL 61 Mk1 Keyboard Controller
DAW-Studio One (Main daw for now-others FL Studio, Ableton, Reason)
NI Maschine
VST-Komplete 8 Ultimate, and more.
Turntables/DJ mixer
Thanks for any help!
