This guy's mixing skills are super bad, no kidding

Honestly, the song's not bad, but I'm having a tough time hearing anything clearly except the vocals - it's all so noisy when the vocals and instruments are together. Everything's just blasting at full volume. I even saw an interview where he said he handles most of the mixing himself.


Payal

But can someone please explain the meaning of the lyrics in the intro?

Riya

I think even Thaman would find his mixing skills challenging. I like his music and all, but a lot of his songs just sound like a mess - really loud and poorly mixed.

Rupali

He's actually a good musician, but his mixing is just terrible

Sangeeta

The dude album was alright, grew on me after a few listens. My only issue was that he overused that one tune and its variations, and the mixing was pretty bad.

Kishore

I think the vocals were mixed badly - they sound kinda harsh, like he used some preset that adds a weird grain to the sound. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent song.

Shekar

To be honest, all his songs are starting to sound the same - same beats, same layering, it's getting repetitive.

Nandini

What's up with Thaman's mixing style, anyway?

Dev

Our guy seems to be a student of Thaman's school of poor mixing.

Simran

I couldn't finish listening to the song, even though I wanted to, and I realized it's because the mix is so cluttered. Every instrument is fighting for attention - they're not blending together, they're competing. The guy's got potential, but he needs to work on this.

Namrata

He adds way too many layers, which makes it feel like the mixing is off.
