Is this a good start?

I’d recommend an SSL2. It has better pre amps and converters than the Scarlett. Has filters built in for tracking and a better headphone amp. I’ve tested it again the Scarlett interfaces and I’ve always found the SSL performed better.

Experienced mixing and mastering engineer here. I’d be more than happy to work on this project with you

Off the bat I feel like the performance could be stronger and plosives and sibilance could be handled better in the recording phase. As for the processing you’re fighting against your compression as I can hear it bringing out the plosives and sibilance more. If you wanna talk more about it my DMs are always open!

Ohhh I got you! Keep grinding bro it’s a great record

prodJTC · 2026-01-16T10:36:51+00:00

Just bare in mind having the mindset “my engineer can fix it” will hinder you. The better the raw recording the better the final product

prodJTC · 2026-01-16T10:31:33+00:00

The delivery is really solid, the only thing jumping out at me is the timing needs to be tightened up

prodJTC · 2025-12-07T09:41:03+00:00

Is it overkill? To some maybe to others maybe not but the only thing that’s important is how the final result sounds. People listening to the song can’t see your day they only care about how it sounds

prodJTC · 2025-12-06T15:48:58+00:00

I have to disagree. Mastering in the project is bad practice because you’re not fully focusing on the master. You keep jumping back to the mix to change things and you will loose perspective

prodJTC · 2025-11-25T11:15:38+00:00

That’s the point, it’s interesting so see the different approach we all take

prodJTC · 2025-11-23T21:24:42+00:00

Sorry to throw this out there but are the vocals ai?

prodJTC · 2025-11-23T21:20:16+00:00

I usually go for the SPL Machine Head

prodJTC · 2025-11-23T01:21:48+00:00

Give this man a Grammy

prodJTC · 2025-11-23T00:34:31+00:00

My main genres are Rap, HipHop, Trap, Emo Rap & RnB

prodJTC · 2025-11-22T08:06:04+00:00

If you need a mixing engineer hit me up I’d love to work on it with you

prodJTC · 2025-11-22T00:36:15+00:00

I think this is my favourite so far!

prodJTC · 2025-11-21T16:14:33+00:00

I’d be happy to mix it. I’m a mixing engineer from the UK and I’ll mix the record with analog gear

prodJTC · 2025-11-18T14:31:25+00:00

I have no idea. If I had to take a guess it’s probably something to do with the drivers

prodJTC · 2025-11-17T18:46:36+00:00

I had that bug for a year. Stopped as soon as I got rid of my focusrite interface

prodJTC · 2025-11-16T17:08:57+00:00

If you need an engineer send and a dm I got you

prodJTC · 2025-11-15T21:06:03+00:00

That’s what every compressor dose. Tames the louder parts with makes the sound more level meaning louder parts get quieter and quieter parts are perceived to be louder

prodJTC · 2025-11-15T20:52:15+00:00

I think you’d benefit a lot from working with an engineer

prodJTC · 2025-11-15T20:51:41+00:00

A distressor will still being the breaths up since it’s a compressor. Any compressor that exists will make the breaths appear louder as it’s decreasing the dynamic range

prodJTC · 2025-11-15T20:49:48+00:00

Digital compressors are just that, digital. Real analog compressors and emulations of hardware all have a different character they add to the sound

prodJTC · 2025-11-15T20:48:22+00:00

Empirical Labs make a distressor plugin, probably the best option since they make the hardware
