He's right, being humble ensures you'll only ever be able to produce minimal. All producers with full mixes are selfish assholes

Hmm... well instead of being a jerk, I think I will produce after eating cause if I am full then maybe my music will be full. xD

Yeah, becuase boosting frequences that aren't present makes your tunes sound mad phat.

U DIG!?!?!?
What I would say is that the percentages are like this:

30 composition
10 arrangement
30 sound design
20 mixing
10 mastering

Give or take 5%

My own experience. Do you agree that composition and arrangement are much more significant than mixdown?

Than I disagree with you. Try writing a shit tune and polishing it.

Skream- sub island

The "drop" is just sub and drums.... And it's heavier and fuller than most shit that people claim is amazing sound design and all that bullshit

It actually sounded really empty to me, still "less is more" is good design. Even if he didn't select good samples, it's one section of music you like out of millions.

I really thought the general consensus was that a good mixdown starts with a good arrangement, sample choice and synth programming, at that people would usually rather hear a good tune than a wanky mixdown, aka don't fix it in the mix." Your view is an original one. :P

What do you call panning and corrective frequency response and dynamic range adjustment before mastering? An then, why do you so highly value something you consider trivial? I actually think you're just being contrarian.

Then I guess you've woken me up. I'll go throw my qualification in music in the bin.

What is this poop about 'fullness'.

All it means is that things are sitting in the right place and the sounds peak in the right place in the frequency spectrum for modern day music systems.

That is just a well-rounded mix down. I'm sorry but you can't ask for help on something what only exists in your own head, your own perception of how something should sound.
