I use to listen to trap (young jeezy, gucci mane, etc) that shit has always been hot in the hood. but as of late i've been heavy on that trap edm, i'm also new to mixing and find it easy to mix. not sure if this has been posted yet but peep this doc on trap edm

Why do American youngsters turn every type of music they like into something idiotic...
I mean, seriously, all you other guys are seeing this too right ?

I really think my IQ dropped a couple of points from watching the first 5 minutes of that video.

I don't want to come off as a hater, so I'll contribute to the thread as well.

Gotta admit some tnght tunes are pretty catchy, so I went and downloaded the tnght EP and practice mixing trap a little bit.
Could someone explain why the BPM is all over the place ? After all it is the same genre. Mainly "higher ground" has a crazy different BPM.

Or maybe this is normal and I'm used to always spinning music with the same BPM. Also general trap mixing tips are welcome, but it's pretty straight forward right ?
Or should I make a new thread about this since this one is for sharing music only ?

Trap is mostly mixes like rap / hip hop. Im not sure about the BPM being all over the place but it should still be able to mix even if bpm is diff.

mmmm, usually at 140. maybe 110 or ~87 every now and then.

yeah its pretty straight forward, very formulaic.

So you cut it ?? Never heard a trap mix, but something tells me cutting trap wouldn't feel right. It sounded not that bad when I was just beatmixing. But there are almost always very distinctive highs and lows present, so I feel like I need to change my EQ workflow a bit, but not quite sure how.

And tnght - higher ground is 160 bpm according to my traktor, and I think it's accurate. Bummer because the other tracks are 140-145 bpm. So yea, I gotta use my pitch quite a bit.
