[Spoken Word]
So angry
Because look, look, look
You got two songs
You just wanna release
You just wanna release a two song
A two song project for your fans
'Cause, you know what?
You wanna be nice, you're workin' on some bigger projects
You wanna give them something in the meantime to digest
And, like, you know what?
I've already written these, I've already recorded these
All I need to do is mix these songs
That can't be that hard
Mixing can't be that hard (Ugh)
I just had to mix two songs
And I've been sitting here for a week!
A week!
Mixing these two songs, tryna find the right mixes
There's always something stupid happening with one of these mixes
Either it's the one or the other
There's a little slight pop in one of them
Oh, oh, everything's fine but there's a little slight pop
Now, I'm making mixes deciding if I'm .5 D.B. off on the vocals or not
Like, "Oh, which one's better?"
Man, I can't even tell, I don't even know where my ears are anymore, man
I can even hear complete garbage and say, "Oh, that's good"
I don't know, my ears have completely died
They gave up on me, they broke up with me
I don't— I don't even know who to trust anymore
I'm dead serious
I'm gonna go through, I'm gonna go through my folder right now
Of all the mixes I have of this project
And these are just the ones I haven't deleted
I can go through recycling bin
And I can show you the exact mixes, I have all of 'em together, but look
I got "LANE GAME" mix 2
"LANE GAME" mix 4
"LANE GAME" mix 5
"LANE GAME" mix-dash-2
"STARTING FROM SCRATCH" mix 3
"LANE GAME" mix 3, final, hopefully
"STARTING FROM SCRATCH" mix 4
"STARTING FROM SCRATCH" mix 5
"STARTING FROM SCRATCH" mix 6
"STARTING FROM SCRATCH" mix
"STARTING F. SCRATCH" mix, I decided to be a little creative
"STARTING FROM SCRATCH" - no "mix", no "mix" at the end of the title
And, and this, these are just the, this
These are just the ones I haven't deleted, I finally get it right
I'm like, "Yo, you know what? We did it, man
I got my lil' interface, we turned it up, we finally got it right"
I check it, I check it in comparison to industry-level mixes
And industry-level mixes are on steroids, bro
I don't know what they put in their juice when they engineer and master these stuff, bro
It's super loud, but it's also clear—how?
I try to do that, I get, like, distorted music
I wasn't goin' for distorted, what do I do?
I just wanna make music, I just wanna make music
Why is this so hard?
What even is LUFS?
D.B., D.B
"Oh, you have wrong D.B
You, your, your D.B.'s a tiny bit off, bro
It should be better mixed
This song could be good if it was better mixed"
Do you know how much effort I put into these mixes?
Everything is better mixed
Everything
