hats are pretty ear piercing, i'd either change the hats or EQ out that problem frequency. bass in the drop sounds good but could use some upper-mids and some variation throughout the drop. i'd also add some percussion and other stuff in the drop so it has more movement.

kick at the beginning sounds too stereo and doesn't really fit in the mix too well and clap in the drop is also kinda lost in the mix. the rhodes type synth at 3:10 also kinda sounds a tiny bit muddy when the drums hit, along with a few other elements further on. great mix otherwise man.

mixing sounds pretty solid to me, and the transitions don't sound too bad actually. the snap that you're using at 3:00 sounds kinda thin and could use some mid frequencies.

I do most of the mixing as I go, then fix as much as I can when I get to that stage of production.

i mix a friend of mine's music a lot, which basically is just an instrumental and a bunch of vocals overlaid on it. as long as the vocals have been recorded properly, its a lot of fun. only takes a couple of hours for me to mix/master the whole thing, including some artistic freedom.

The horns from The Game ft. Skrillex - El Chapo (clean sample at 3:27)

and i don't just mean like directly sampling them from the track they used (Frank Sinatra - Granada) i mean like how did they get the horns to sound the way they do in El Chapo. i got pretty much all the processing stuff you said down though, so i guess i'll just have to copy from the last little bit in the song where the horns just play solo.

I dont think bangladesh directly sampled from the frank sinatra song in the final cut of el chapo. Many hip hop producers sample a song in a demo track and then re-record the sample using better instruments. Also due to the nature of this song being an extra from the games album the documentary 2/2.5 I am skeptical that bangladesh or skrillex would actually call in and record a horn section which leads me to think that a sample library is used. As far as proscessing the horn section is cut at 100-150 hz because the low end is just drums because thats why it bumps in the whip so well. The horns are also present in the middle and far sides of the sterero field so stereo imaging or utilizing a width knob in the sample library player would do the trick. The final brightness on the high end probably comes in the mastering stage I would believe.

TLDR I am not the Horn guy.

ahhh yeah the sample library makes so much sense then, because they did the same thing (at least i believe so) with the intro of the song. if you listen to the sample they supposedly used, "El Gato Montes - Manuel Penella Moreno", it doesn't at all sound the same as the El Chapo intro.

Sound Design / Re: Running audio through cassette tape form warmth HELP
« on: January 14, 2016, 12:01:47 am »
If you're still concidering going to the hardware option (which is relatively cheap for cassette recording), just remember that cassette tape won't achieve the 'tape warmth' that we all know and love, its a completely different sound from reel-to-reel tape. that being said, you can still get some cool stuff out of it. for example, in hot sugar's track "the seagull", he used a microwaved cassette tape to create the melty sounding piano riff used throughout the track.
