Mixing/mastering for smaller speakers?
Hey I was wondering if there was any advice on dialing in really clear sound - specifically for phones, earbuds, smart devices with smaller speakers? Are there specific frequencies that tend to be cut or boosted? Thanks!

I think you can say anything below 80hz, but that might even be 100-120 realistically. What I’ve read is that it’s not a question of can the headphone reproduce the sound individually , but more can headphone sound load lower frequencies without breaking up distorting the sound when playing a range of frequencies like in music.

@Tom Baldwin - I don't agree. I know of quite a few singers who are consistently awful. consistency without talent is not that much of a desired trait. Consistency is the ability to do the same thing time and time again. the problem with the choices given is there is not one single one that can trump the rest if you take it as that is the sole attribute given and the rest fall in the not so important category.
Production: Xpand!2, MIDI, and half-time
Production question: A tune I'm working on is set at 186 bpm, and all of the drum loops I've auditioned are too busy. Option A: Boom and ADSR allow you to reset the speed of the loop ( X1/2, X2, etc.) before inserting/recording. Does Xpand!2 have a setting for this? Option B is to set the metronome to 93 (probably should have been set here in the first place), but that slows all other MIDI tracks. Originally, it was going to have a driving beat with kicks at 186 but I want to give more space to the groove. I think the 93bpm is more appropriate. Is there a way to change a MIDI track to keep it's speed if you halve the bpm? Hope my questions make sense!

If you are inserting a loop, why don’t you stretch it to double the length thus halving the speed?

@Carolyn Rodea what daw are you using? Like in Logic, if you hold down the option key on the lower corner of an audio region, it will allow you to stretch the length and thus slow down or speed up the clip depending on if you make the audio region bigger or smaller. If your DAW isn't doing that, then I'd suggest that you attend one of the DAW help days that happen on Monday's. Speak with your Mentor or ask Nick. I am sure he would love to help you out.
Sad News: This is Berlins last week as a mentor for us :(
Everyone knows that Berlin is an amazing mentor with a HUGE heart. She's a beacon of light for everyone who comes in contact with her. Losing her is no small thing and she will be SO missed! This will be her last week doing calls in our paid monthly membership program. :( However, we always want to support all our amazing mentors who get new opportunities! So, please join in with me in wishing Berlin good luck with the next phase! Let's celebrate her. Also, feel free to sign this "Farewell Card" for Berlin: https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/tJ72Lmi6 I personally want to thank @Berlin RedluX for her passion and care for all the students! She's been a great mentor and I'll miss her being around! I know she's going to be very successful at wherever the wind blows and ill be rooting for her! (**But as far as your education goes, don't worry, I'll announce an exciting new mentor for you next week for those of you in the membership program)

@Berlin RedluX - You were the best and give me hope when I felt down. Gave me the confidence to know I can hear. Pushed me to learn when I was going to give in. Drove me to be the best artist producer mix & mastering engineer I can be. You took this lump of clay and molded it into more than I could ever have imagined. You will be missed and the world here will not be quite the same in your absence
