Me and my cousin do some Hip Hop production here in Northern California and these forums provide some great tips for us. We are still only scratching the surface of tracking and mixing but we have come a long way in just a couple of years of messing around. Anyways we are working on a new track and I would really appreciate any input on how we can improve the mix. The song is called "Sneak Peek" and you can check it out here:

Since the streaming audio quality sucks I put it up for download so you can hear it better. My ears are getting a little burnt out on it so take a quick listen and let me know whats up....

Also, there is explicit lyrics in it, so if you are offended by that, please don't check it out.

Ok, I made a few changes on some of tips I have picked up, go check it out again on the same site and let me know if they were for the better or for the worse:

The only thing I had a hard time with was hearing what the second vocalist was saying during the second half of the song. I mean, I can hear him. But I can't make out what he is saying. It's a little muffled. Too much lo-end. If you brighten up his track a bit more than I'm sure anyone should be able to hear what he's saying. Other than that, I think it's an awesome track. Good honest production that can compete. Way to go!
